Says the Detroit Free Press. After
the jury in a Texas case had listened
to the charge of the court and gone
to their room to deliberate upon the
verdict. one of the twelve men went
right to the point by saying: "That

RING WORM AND DANDRUFF.

Gus Germ.

Gus germ.
Ring worm and dandruff are some

caused by a parasite. The germ that
causes dandruff digs to the root Of the

badness, and to cure dandruf II IS

do this until the discovery OF New

The British Cancer Research Com
mission has just made an important
report with respect to its Investigations
into the causes and nature Of the dis
ease. 1t finds, among other things,
that civilization is not responsible for
cancer. which pervades animal as well
as human life; that cancer is not an
infectious disease, and is not trans
mitted from one species to another;
that a cancer cell can reacquire pow
ers Of self-propagation: that cancer IS
not caused by parasite; that the mall
ady is not on the increase: that radium
has been found TO exercise no curative
effect in cases Of cancer; that serum

The strike of packing house employ
es in Chicago may mean serious trou-
bic before an adjustment of the mat
ter is arrived at, as II is likely to
spread to the nine principal packing
centers and involve $4,000 or more
men. Public interest in the strike is
heightened by the fact that there will
be almost Immediately an advance in
the price of meats, and prices are like
ly to keep advancing as long as the
strike lasts. Thus consumers all over
the country will be more or less eff
fected.

Reports from Texas are to the ef-
feet that the cotton boil weevils are
numerous and active. and that they
are doing a great deal of damage to
the crop. Another report from the
same state. which we published yes
terday, says that the Guatemalan ants,
brought in by Mr.. Cook, of the Agri-
cultural Department, Immediately went
to work destroying the weevils and
the Texas red ants, harmful species
which it was feared the South Amer
lean insects might resemble. The new
ants, it seems, had been in captivity
for four weeks, during which time they
were forced to subsist on a sugar
and-water diet. When they were re-
leased in Texas. therefore, they were
hungry for something more substantial
and went Immediately on the war path
and the chase. They doubtless feared
the native red ants might take up some
considerable part of the boil weevil
supply hence pitched into them and
cleaned them up as preliminary to the
feast on the cotton bugs. Mr.. Cook
is evidently of the opinion that the inn
ported ants have made good" 1t is
to be hoped he is not mistaken in
them, and that they will live up to the
very desirable reputation he has given
them.

People are beginning to ask: What
effect will the action of the st. Louis
convention have upon the future of Mr..
Bryan? OF course only time can tell.
But it is most likely that he will work
for the success of the ticket, continue
the publication of his paper, remain ac-
lively in politics and probably go to
the Senate from his state when the
next opportunity to do so occurs. He
is still relatively young man. Not
long ago he said that, with good for
tune, he calculated he had twenty-five
years more of political activity left to
him. Many things can happen in half
that time.

The brother in black" is not going
to let President Roosevelt forget that
he has taken stand in the color dues-
ton. Already there have been negro
preachers and others at oyster Bay
demanding equal rights in barber shops
and other places. and threatening to
go TO the President II they are not
treated just as white men are. The
Presidents attitude is well calculated
to stir up just such friction as that
which is just now worrying the oyster
Bay BARRIERS, inn-keepers and others.
A peculiar circumstance in this con-
nection is that in the South. where the
great majority OF the BARRIERS are Of
the black race, there is never any fric-
ton in the barber shops on the color
line.

NEEDED LEGIsLATION.

The annual report of State Chemist
John M. McCandless shows that there
is need for severe laws against the
selling. of impure articles of food in
this state. According to what he says
more than half of the articles of food
on the market are adulterated to a
greater or less degree. His report
shows that flour is fairly pure, owing
to the national law in regard to 1t,
but butter, milk. vinegar, catsup,
canned corn, whisky and other articles
are adulterated to an extent that is
alarming.
1t was supposed of course that some
articles of food offered to the public
were adulterated, but it was not
thought that the adulteration was car
ried on in such a wholesale way as is
indicated by this report. 1t is not to
be wondered at that there are so
many ailments of one kind and an
other for which physicians appear to
be unable to find remedy. Are not
many of the ailments of which people
complain due to the poisonous adulter-
ants? OF course, if severe laws were
passed against the sale of these adul-
terated foods ii would require a large
force of detectives to enforce them.
Still, 1t would pay the state to incur
heavy expense to protect the peo-
pie against the sort of stuff which
Chemist McCandless shows they take
into their stomach.
1t may be that the Legislature has
no money to protect the people against
adulterated foods. If that is the case
this question presents itself: What is
the use of having a state chemist? If
there isn't to be legislation against
the selling of impure articles of food
why go to the expense of finding out
what articles are impure?
Health is of more Importance than
wealth. 1t is impossible for people to
be healthy II they are taking into
their stomachs at every meal a poi
son Of some kind. II is a pretty diff
cult matter, judging from the talk one
| hears among both men and women, TO
! ind a person that is wholly free from
some sort of stomach trouble. 1t is a
fair question whether these troubles
are not due to the adulterants in the
various adulterated articles of food
that are now on the market.
1t is of the highest importance OF
course that we should have a pure
ballot, but IL people had pure food, il
may be they would be in so much bet
ter frame of mind that they would
have greater respect for the ballot, SO
there wouldn't be so much need for
laws for its protection. The Legisla-
ture should give this pure food ques-
ton thoughtful consideration.

The member of the st. Louis Con-
vention that added to his reputation
as a clear-headed thinker in an emer-
gency and a good man to depend upon
in time of need is John Sharp Will
liams. 1t is true, if newspaper ac-
counts are to be relied upon, he seems
to have formed a rather hasty opinion
of the propriety of Judge Parker's act
in sending a message to the convention
relative to the gold standard question,
but that was before he understood the
full purport of the message. When he
understood it he was quick to see that
Judge Parker had done the right thing,
and he promptly set to work to ad-
just the trouble it had caused. OF
course the opponents of Judge Parker
Mr.. Bryan and others-seized the OPP
portunity to try to force him off the
ticket and bring about a nomination
more to their liking. 1t was then that
Mr. Williams showed his strength. In
a brief speech but a speech that was
so clear and forcible that he carried
the convention with him, he pointed
out the Inconsistencies of those who
had opposed the method of settlement
that had been proposed, and brushed
aside tn obwebs of error that had
been skilifully woven by the spiders of
discord so that even the slowest-mind-
ed delegate was able to see the truth
and the path that led out of the
trouble. When he concluded the con-
vention was ready to vote, and did vote
IN accordance with his advice.
Mr. Williams is a power in the party
and he is destined to hold still more
prominent and influential place. The
more the people know of him the bet
ter they like him. They have conf
dence in him-confidence in his judg-
ment and his integrity.
Mr.. Williams is a growing figure in
the world of politics. If the Democrats
win the next House he win be chosen
Speaker. If they fail in winning the
House. but get the presidency he will
be offered a leading place in the cabi-
net. If he continues In public life the
probability is he will be the South's
first candidate for the presidential
nomination since the Civil War.
There is no doubt he will be one of
Judge Parier's chief advisers In the
campaign. and the latter couldn't have
a better adviser. 1t isn't known yet who
will be the Democratic campaign man
| ager. though It Is intimated that Mr..
! Sheehan will be given that place, but

the outlook talked most hopefully and
seemed to feel that the spirit Of COM

for the future OF the party. The meet
ing was well attended and a spirit OF
good fellowship manifested itself. Those

LOOKED LIKE REPETITION
OF BIG MARCH BLIZZARD

When the weather-wise folk saw
the snow this morning they began to
wag their heads and predict a blizzard.

way the blizzard back in 'SS did. That
there was the same rawness I'm the att
mosphere before the snow began and
that there is a general similarity that
IS striking.
1t looks as IL these predict ons might
be verified. The flakes. small and fine,
began to fall about o'clock this morn
ing and were at it in tho same old way
up to the time of going to press this
afternoon. In an incredulously short
time the streets We're covered to The

took on a wintry appearance strangely
at variance with that of yesterday.
