THE New York Evening Mail thinks
it high time to have an effective pure food
law. 1t says: "When hayseed and SUI
gar, colored red with aniline dyes, are
sold for raspberry jam to greater quantity
than the real stuff, when old felt cloth is
chopped up, rotted with acids, and sold
for mushrooms; when rotten eggs are
deodorized with chemicals and sold to
bakers to be used in making cake; when
spoiled fish, having gone beyond borax,
is treated with salts of zinc, aluminium
and other metals, and the gills colored
with coal tar dyes to give them a fresh
look; when boraclc acid is squirted over
chopped beef to "sweeten it' by the
butcher under the customers very eyes
when these and countless other unsani-
tary enormities are daily perpetrated up
on a people who have no defense, the
time for drastic legislation on the sub
ject of pure food would seem to have
arrived"

MIillionaire,s Poor stomach.

The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession OF great
wealth. But millionsires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people.
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of a standard medicine like Green's
August Flower, which has been a favor
ite household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty-five years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the en-

ANOTHER BANK SCANDAL.
President of a New York Securltle.
Company Charged With Fraud
In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Dec. IL, - Charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, Merrick E. Vinton. president
Of the Middlesex Banking and Securi
ties company of New York, was held
in $4,000 bail for court. He gave cash
bail The charge was preferred by
John S. Stevens, former president oi
the National Builders association, and
a prominent builder and financier OF
this city.
At the magistrates hearing, Mr.
Stevens testified that two years age
he was induced to purchase a gold in
stalment bond issued by the company
which he was informed would pay an
interest of Az per cent annually. He
paid the first instalment of $1,000, but
when notified that the second install
ment was due he became suspicious
and made inquiries as to the regular
ity of the bond. Vinton, he said, mis-
represented the facts concerning the
bond. Vinton told him the bond was
one of an old issue on which $3O,O0O'
900 in interest had been paid. Mr..
Stevens said he learned, on the con
trary, that the bond issue was of re-
cent date and he stated the company
defaulted on its payment of interest
His information regarding the bond,
however, was secured after he had
paid the second instalment of $1,000.

The Nourishing Chestnut.

The London Lancet finds that the
chestnut is the most digestible nut and
cannot only take the place of the pota-
to, as In France, where chestnuts, boil
ed and mashed like potatoes, make Il
delicious dish, but in reality they are Il
more perfect form Of food. According
to the Lancet's analysis of the potato
and the chestnut, the latter contains
less water, more proteid, more fat and
starch, but less mineral matter, than
the potato and is more digestible than
the latter. Like the potato, also, its
nutritlve and digestive qualities are
greatest when baked or roasted.

AT recent editorial convention min
lister who, it is not unlikely, was at one
time engaged in the newspaper business
himself, offered the following toast: "To
save an editor from starvation, take his
paper and pay him for it promptly. To
save him from bankruptcy, advertise in
his paper literally. To save him from
despair, send him every item of news of
which you can get hold. To save him
from profanity, write your correspond
ence plainly on one side of the sheet. and
send it in as early as possible. To save
him from mistakes, bury him. Dead
people are the only ones that never make
mistakes. Newspaper readers would do
well to remember that there are no per-
feet people-editors or readers"

Curious Laws That Prevailed In the

Curious Laws That Prevailed In the
Florentine Republic.
The Florentine republic had unique
method Of dealing with its too ardent
democrats. In 1903 the state passed
the famous Magma Charta Of Flor
ence," to curb the cruelty and rapacity
of the lawless mobiles, who. In defiance
OF the law courts, were accustomed to
fog and torture their dependents at
will. The act practically disfranchised
these titled harpies by clause which
excluded them from the slgnory-a
body in the state corresponding to the
British cabinet-unless they renounced
their nobility.
This curious provision prepared the
way for still more extraordinary
clause. which enacted that any member
Of the democratic party who made
himself obnoxious to the government
and was by them declared to be guilty
Of treason to the commonwealth" should
be given patent of nobility and thus
at the same moment be raised in the
social scale and reduced to political
nobody at the will of the state.-LOn-

will retire from the presidency Thomas

senate, and there are present indications

there is no doubt as to the sincerity of his
