NOftn BakOlh Solves the Anuitci1-
tion Problem.
North Dakota seems 10 have found
the key to the question. How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" plan
which is applicable to foods. bever-
ages. materialG used in the arts. etc.
A new law has recently gone into ef-
feet designed to make It impossible
TO deceive people into buying inferior
and adulterated paint under the i'm
preston that they are getting real
paint, viz: pure white lead and lin
seed OIL
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit
the inferior pigments. or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell,' and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, IL any one wishes
70 buy a mixtureof rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil. they can
be sure of getting it. for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little-sometimes no-real
white lead
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles. where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave US free to buy what we
pleased. but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

Yellow is, indeed, remarkable
color, serving in its different shades
both blonde and brunette. A beauty
with dead white skin and just a
shade of rose on the cheek, clad in
a gown of softest yellow with pillows
of creamy or snowy lace about her
neck, is a poem of loveliness. A
warmer tone of the "sunshiny" color
has a ravishing appearance worn by
handsome brunette, her gypsy
beauty being just what is required
to bring out its artistic excellence.
And everybody knows what a SER
vieeable shade is the yellow brown
for knockabout and country wear,
some tone or other of which will be
found to suit every grade Of stature
and complexion.

WROTE To Il DOUX
WHILE LIVING WITH
HER ALLEGED VICTIM
Love Letters Of Accused Woman

STOCKTON, June 18.-The prosecu-
ton closed its case against Mrs Emma
LIE Doux, charged with the murder OF
her husband. A. n. McVicar, this aft
ernoon Going into the motive for the
murder the prosecution got in num-
Der of letters this morning which Mrs.
lie Doux had written to Eugene lie

and before the bigamous marriage 10
lie Doux These letters are replete
with endearing terms and declarations
of undying love. They had been read
to LIE Doux by his brother, l9-year-
old boy, the man being unable to read
or write. The letters all went IN un-
der persistent objections on the part
of the defense on the ground that the
evidence was illegally secured by the
prosecution.
Other important evidence was that
of Chemist r. r. Rodgers, who testi-
fed that man could live in the trunk

nitely, except for food and water, In
the condition in which the trunk was

ditions, with regard to clothing, as had
obtained in the case of McV1car.

BLOOD POISON
KILLS 5YSONbY
Bruised Frog in Forefoo :
the Cause of the
Fatal Malady.
James R. Keene Carries
a 100000 Policy on
Great Horse.

NEW YORK, June 1S-James r.
Keene, owner of Sysonby, which died
yesterday, was deeply grieved at the
loss OF this great race horse.
He ordered post mortem examina-
tion and the physicians settled con-
clusively that the horse did not die of
the skin disease for which he had been
treated for several months. The blood
poisoning which caused death origi-
mated In badly bruised frog of the
right forefoot.
The skin affection had been the re-
mote cause, it is surmised, for the
horse had stamped in his stall to ex-
press his dislike for the itching of his
skim The frog had been terribly
bruised. There is a mesh of small
blood vessels there An abscess formed
and the entire coronet was found to
be full of pus. The spleen and liver
were found TO be greatly enlarged, but
the huge lungs and stout heart of the
horse We're unaffected.
When Sysonby first showed symp-
toms of the skin trouble soon after
training began this spring. Mr. Keene
was dissatisfied with the progress the
thoroughbred was making toward re-
covery and had his own physician at
tend the horse. Everything possible
was done. Sysonbys sufferings Were
pitiahle and during part of the illness
the horse was strapped up to prevent
it's injuring itself
1t was stated last night that Mr..
Keene was recently offered over
100000 for Sysonby by an English
man. He carried 100000 insurance on
the thoroughbred.

MEAT DISCUSSED
IN PARLIAMENT I

LONDON, June 1S.-Chicago meat
again formed the subject of several
questions in the House of Commons to-
day. Mr.. Hicks Beach Conservative,
son of the former Chancellor or the
Exchequer, asked War Secretary Hal
dane what quantity of Chicago canned
meat was supplied to the troops in
South Africa during the late war and
what proportion of enteric deaths
ought more properly have been de-
scribed as due to ptomaine poisoning
The secretary replied that rather more
than half the canned meat supplied to
the British troops in South Africa dur
ing the late war came from the United
states. He could not say how much
of this came from Chicago. The War
Office knew nothing of any cases Of
enteric fever which could be classed as
ptomaine poisoning.
Mr.. Lea LiberaD wanted to know
whether, in view of the fact that the
committee on agriculture of the United
States House of Representatives had
omitted in drawing up the meat in
spection bill to stipulate that the
packers stamp the date of manufac-
ture on each article of food sold, the
War ONCE would not issue an army
order requiring every can of meat sup
piled to the army to he plainly stamped
with the date of manufacture.
The secretary reassured Mr. Lea, in
forming him that it had long been a
condition of ordinary War Office con-
tracts that tins of preserved food must
have the date of manufacture stamped
visibly inside the tins.
Replying to a question based on the
discovery in the dining-rooms of the
House of Commons of box marked
'Armour's (St. Louis, Chicago and
Kansas City, chickens Mr.. Jacoby,
chairman of the kitchen committee, as
sured the House that no food of any
kind used in the House of Commons
comes from Chicago. Mr.. Jacoby added
that he was making an investigation
as to how the box came on the prem
ises
Mr.. Starkey Conservative asked if
in view of the fact that several per-
sons died recently at Hull after eat
ing Argentine meat and the unsani-
tary conditions under which American
meat was prepared the president of
the Board of Trade would not take i'm
mediate steps to have each consign-
ment of foreign meat. timed or other
wise, inspected on arrival in this coun-
try, and a certificate issued showing
the date of inspection. The president
of the Board of Trade, however, said
he was not in a position at present to
take the course suggested, but, he
added, that the board was considering
the question of obtaining further pow
ers for dealing with imported foods.

THREE MEN ARE INJURED
By FALLING BRICK WALLS
Carpenters Working on Building Mt
Jackson and Dupont Streets Caught
Beneath Great Weight.

Three men were injured, one perhaps
fatally. by falling walls yesterday. Gut
seppe Papa, whose address is unknown,
and John Benson of 43 Merritt street
were caught beneath a pile of bricks at
California and Kearny streets and AL
Pivie, engaged in tearing down wall
at Jackson and Dupont streets, had a
similar experience. All three were
treated at the Harbor Hospital. Papa is
seriously injured about the head and
may die Benson was also badly injured
about the head, and Pivie had his
thigh torn from his hip and is in a
precarious condition. Both of the for
mer have possible fractures of the
skull.
Papa and Benson were constructing a
frame building for the California Toy
and Notion Company, and contractors
were tearing down one of the brick
walls of Goldberg, Bowen & Cos
stables, Immediately adjoining. John
Stevenson, who was in charge of the
wreckng crew, was warned that the
small building might be crushed un-
less extra precaution be taken in razing
the wall The warning was of no avail,
but proved to have been wisely given,
for when the wall fell it crushed the
frail structure and buried six carpen-
ters in the debris. 1t required nearly
one hours time to dig Benson and Papa
out. The other men escaped with a
few slight bruises.
Pivie was engaged In digging be-
meath the brick foundation of a build
ing at Jackson and Dupont streets
when the structure collapsed and
buried him beneath an immense weight.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
in extricating him. His left leg was al
most torn from the hip.
