sometimes this class of witness is re-

one noted example of the kind who
sought TO prove that a man whom
was prosecuting for burglary was not
at the place Of the crime at the time
it was committed
This particular burglary had been
committed about II o'clock at night in

witness gave evidence that at that very
hour on the night in question the de-
1endant was in his company in a board
Ing house away out in the northwest
part of the city, about five miles from
the scene Of the crime.
In what room in the house Were
you and the defendant sitting that
night?" l asked the witness.
In the Kitchen
Was there any other person with
you?'
No; just us two. The rest of the

BoRAx AS A PREsERvATIvE.
Its Effect Upon Certain Articles of
Food and Upon the Human
System

Borax is used extensively to pre-
serve meats and sometimes used as q
preservative of butter, says Medical
Talk for the Home.
1t is alleged by many that borax is
very deleter1ous to the human system.
1t has been limited that if sufficient
amount OF borax is consumed in meat
and butter it will do great injury to
. the stomach and digestive organs.
In the agricultural department of
the United States. extensive expert
ments have been conducted to discoy-
er what the effect of borax is unon
the human system. A number of peo-
pie nave taken it in small doses for
several weeks and their condition
carefully studied. Also the various
foods that have been preserved in
Dorax nave been made the subject Of
special investigation.
The results of these researches show
tnat not more than half a dram of
DoraA would be consumed by the av-
erage person who habitually made use
OF Ioods preserved with boraX 1t has
also been ascertained that one dram
or DoraX per day is not a sufficient
amount to do any harm.
Inc conclusion is that borax as a
preservative of food is not likely to
do any particular harm. The amount
OF borax in such food being too small

the human system These conclusions
are undoubtedly scientific and repre-
sent the facts as viewed by the chem
list.
But all the same we prefer to take
our food without borax if we can get

The Chicago Record Herald and
the Wichita Eagle, both eminent
republican authority, say that rail
road legislation is dead so far as
the present session of congress is
concerned. The question now re-
manning for the American people
to pass upon is, did the president
mean 1t or was he only bluffing as
usual. If the republican members
OF congress really idolize him as
they pretend they do, it is hard to
understand how they could have
the heart to turn him down, unless
there was private understanding
behind the curtain before T. Roose-
Welt made his little "speel" to con-
gress in his message. At any rate,
either congress or the president or
both have fooled the people again.
