WATCH THE SUMMER FOOD

Among the ills to which man is heir
many are peculiar to this season and
the observance of a few sensible rules
in household economy will greatly re-
wayfarer, in the form of diseases more
or less dangerous. The ptomaine is re-
sponsible for the great bulk of internal
arrangements in the summer, and the
ptomaine has its being in the family
refrigerator as a matter of choice at
this season.
Ptomaines flourish in all forms of
food decomposition and the icebox all
too frequently hides the usual external
evidences of the signs of decay. The
ptonaine is prone to lurk in butter that
appears to be fresh, in milk that is not
apparently unfit for consumption, in
meat that by all accounts should be
usable and it is most sprightly in
cheese. Ice cream made of cream that
has been subjected to variations of
temperature may be quite deadly.
The temperature of the family ice
box is subjected to marked changes
and this promotes the development of
bacterial forms that are menacing to
health-even to life. 1t should not be
necessary to warn people to keep the
icebex scrupulously clean; that is to be
taken for granted. But the house
keeper should also try to preserve an
eQuable temperature in the refrigera- :
tor Above all, do not permit food,
cooked or otherwise, to remain too long
in the family storehouse. Decomposi-
ton is generally far enough advanced
to invite the ptomaine long before it is
likely to offer any evidence to the
olfactorieS.
But generally the sense of smell and
taste, if normal, will suffice to protect
the individual Food that has been
kept in the icebox until it has the sus-
picion of moldy smell is absolutely
unfit for human consumption. When
your nose warns you it should be in
stantly regarded. Use your nose and
keep the icebox perfectly clean. Thus

An impression may remain in the
public mind that the Minnesota dele
cation to st. Louis was instructed by
the state convention to act as unit.
No such instruction was given. The
delegation is quite free to act in such
manner as will be in accord with the
interests of the party according to the

thing the Republicans have done to the
trusts? And is it not fact that the

A BAD EXAMPLE

A BAD EXAMPLE
The difficulty which this country is
having in securing the release of Per-
dicaris seems to follow fairly naturally
over the course that it pursued when
Miss Stone was held in similar cap
tivity. The banditti who held Miss
Stone for a ransom were actuated
first by pecuniary and only afterward
by political considerations. The order
Of these motives seems to be reversed
in Morocco. Raisuli ''has it in for
the authorities, and exults that he has
put them in position of responsibility
where the American government may
be obliged to overthrow them in order
to obtain Perdicaris release, and so
bring to him revenge that he longs for.
1t is rather a bad lesson to teach
the desperate brigands of a still un-
civilized world that they can lay hands
on American citizens with impunity,
and get either money Or political sat-
isfaction out of it, The position Of our
government in such affairs is scarcely
creditable. We are rash enough and
impudent and interfering enough when
it is question of land grabbing or OF
securing trade. We do not care what
powers we offend when we are out on
looting expedition for new territory
or new business. We take all the
chances then of exciting i'll feeling or
of getting embroiled in actual hostili
ties; but on a point where every great
government is and should be most SEN
sitive-that is, the personal safety Of
its every citizen, no matter where he
may be-we are lukewarm and ap-
parently little sensible to insult.
The proper course of action seemed
| clear enough when Miss Stone was held
in captivity. 1t was not our business
to deal with her captors either by force
or by bribes. 1t was certainly a scan
dial to us and to the world when these
scoundrels We're bought off. The only
right attitude for a great nation was
to demand instantly of the government
responsible for the outrage, of the au-
thorities ON whose soil the kidnapping
took place, and of those in whose ter
ritory the captive was concealed, that
she be released and returned. 1t was
not for us to measure the ease or diff
Guilty with which they could fulfill the
task. Theirs was the responsibility,
and failing its discharge we should
have wiped them off the face of the
earth as a lesson to other brigands,
as warning to governments too weak
to control their unruly people, and
every bayonet and every battleship of
the United States is massed behind it's
meanest citizen, wherever he may be,
in the maintenance of his ordinary
legal rights.
Our failure to take this attitude may
we'll encourage another trespass. Mo-
rocco is an Insignificant power, and the
desperadoes who are defying its rule
are simply little band whom a COM
pany of men could wipe out. But so
far our displays of power and our i'm
potent efforts have accomplished moth
ing. The world is convinced that, while
it is not safe to attack or even to re-
sist the United States in questions
where land or gold are involved, it may
| treat our citizens pretty much as it
pleases. Yet citizenship in the great
republic should mean something as
sacred and imperative as it did in Rome
in her palmiest days.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

He E-REPOBLICAN CONVENTION
Not in the history of Republican pol
itics is there any parallel for the con-
vention- which closed its sittings yes
terday and which capped it's work by
nominating Theodore Roosevelt and
Charles w. Fairbanks for president and
vice president of the United States.
The convention, nominally a represent
ative body standing for a great party,
was a one man affair. Its every act
was arranged in advance. Not a single
incident of Importance occurred to
change the plan laid out by Mr. Roose-
welt. Not a speech was made, except
in the case of the presiding officer,
which had not been prepared in ad-
vance and submitted to Mr.. Roosevelt
or his lieutenants. For complete alb
sence of enthusiasm and spontaneity
the thirteenth national Republican con-
vention stands unique among the great
gatherings of these times.
The dominant personality Of the pres
ident in the convention would be a
great tribute to his masterful qualities
if it were not for the fact that this
domination was only tolerated by the
powers that be in the Republican party,
rather than because of any superlative
merit in Mr.. Roosevelt. Recent events,
notably the adjustment of the sena-
toriaI succession in Pennsylvania. have
demonstrated very clearly that an ex-
cellent understanding exists between
the chief of the Republican party and
the men representing, the interests
which flourish by the favor of Repub-
lican principles. The Roosevelt of today
is by no means the same man who
made. the speech. to, the people at the
Labor day observance in the Twin
Cities in 1901. He has accommodated
himself to the conditions which have
been brought about by the exigencies
of politics. He controlled the Repub-
lican convention because he is regarded
as quite safe enough now by the tariff
barons.
The work of the convention, cut, dried
and hung up for the kind applause of
the people, is satisfactory in that it is
not at all disappointing. No deviation
from the programme being permitted,
the public mind was not disturbed.
Fairbanks, who stands for nothing at
all except as the representative of a
doubtful state, is merely the tail of the
Roosevelt kite. He need not be reck-
oned with in the coming campaign.
The issue made is Rooseveltism and the
present tariff on the one hand and rep
resentative government and tariff re-
vision on the other.
The Democrats have no fault to find
with the work of the convention as a
Republican affair."; 1t was as fine an
example Of what a convention should
not be as could well be found.
