Chicago, Feb. 19.-Paul Pierce of
This city, editor of What to Eat, a
magazine that for many years has
waged warfare against food adultera-
ton, has been appointed superintend-
ent of food exhibits, at the st. Louis
worlds fair.
,Mr. Pierce is son of the late ""Gir'
Pierce, former United States senator
from North Dakota, and minister to
Portugal, and is we'll known in Mime
apolis. L., -.-..,,.... =, ~.
Some time ago William e. Curtis,
the famous correspondent, had an in
terview with Mr.. Pierce, which opened
the eyes of many, upon the need OF
conversational legislation as a remedy
for the food adulteration. Many of
Mr., Pierces statements were sensa-
tional and he cited facts In proof of his
declarations. 49,.
The main thing in a national pure
food law according to Mr.. Pierce, is to
have food product labeled exactly
what it is. > This department of the
fair. according to Mr. Pierce, Is
destined to show that what people are
and what they can do, is largely deter
mined by what they. eat He states
that the exhibits of food products at
the fair are really to mean something,
and that one of the chief aims of the
department of agriculture, will be to
present the processes of preparing the
different foods properly in an educa-
tional way In his opinion, 1t is
Americas great opportunity to spread
the gospel of good health thru the
science of agriculture. as

After one trial, however, the begin

easily learned. The light Kicker
whirls and tumbles with all the

Boden says that in Sweden the
Flicker is common on the streets, In
winter. The authorities make no obs
lection to Its use on the sidewalks.
Some Of the best drivers or riders, or
whatever they may be termed, grow
very expert in its use and high speed
can be attained. To use a kicker to
good advantage the snow must be we'll
broken and hard but the surface must
not be ice covered, as that affords no
purchase for the foot Of the operator.
