We had with us, at this session A chemist who represented a district in the largest city of the state. From the beginning be talked food adulteration and. as he was a chemist, what he had to say was heard with respect He insist cd that IL was the duty of the state to take the lead In campaign against impure food stun. He fitted up a laboratory near the state house and put in most of his time analysing the food stuff sold to the state institutions. He invited the members to visit bis laboratory. and there exhibited analysed samples of bak- ing powder cofYees mustard. flour. jams and other articles of food which he had secured from wardens and superintend- eDts of the penal and charitable tnstt- tutjons. He showed his analyses which disclosed adulteratioDs and impurities to an atrocious degree. His exhibit was so impressive that the legislature passed resolutions calling upon the state pur- chasing agents to buy only such food stuff as conformed to the requirements set forth by the chemist legislator.
 These requirements. In some food stuffs shut out all but few brands of goods. As soon as the resolutions had passed the chemist called upon the wholesale grocery houses which sold to the state and his arguments were SO con yincing that he placed large orders of divers food stuffs with them.
 The next session he was returned and again began pure food campaign. This took the form of bill which. had if passed, would have prevented all but one brand or baking powder. one kind of conee. one make of canned goods and one brand of each of several other foods from being sold to state institutions But before the bill had passed second

THE COREY CASE.

1t begins to look as il William Ellis
Corey, president of the United States
Steel corporation, would not be forced
out of his Office, after all, as was more
than limited a few weeks, ago when
the stories of his scandalOus treat
ment of his wife were made public.
The newspapers, it will be remember
ed, have had many stories about Mr..
Corey. They have told in detail how
Corey rose from poverty to great
wealth; how in his struggling days his
wife was faithful helpmate; how,
when he had attained wealth and posi-
ton, he met a chorus girl and forgot
the wife of his youth.
Mr.. Corey's business associates
were said to look upon him with great
GOODNESS. 1t was said that they thor
oughly disapproved of his course; that
they had showed their disapproyal by
snubbing him publicly, and at the first
opportunity he would be discharged
from the steel trust presidency. All
of this, must have mighty unpleasant
reading for the Coreys, but the public
was unanimous in condemning the
man, unanimous in upholding the wife.
Now the talk has died away and it
is said that there is good and sufh-
cient reason for it. There are chapt-
ers in the lives of some of the men
who have been dsnouncing Corey tina.
those men would not like to have dis
closed to the world. Corey is familiar
with these chapters. Report has i
.that If he is pushed he will do some
talking on his own account, and il
will not be about his private affairs
either. So Corey has been requested
to keep his mouth shut, it being the
understanding that if he says nothing
the other fellows will let him retain
his position with the trust.
A nice mess all this is. The onl.
good that can possibly come out O
