William Kirby, Brewster, r. G. Spen,
of those who enjoyed tarrying among
the books for a little while when they
called.
After being in Milwaukee for about
forty years he decided to retire and
came to Baraboo. Here he kept book
stall at his home, just to keep in touch
with the ever increasing volume of lit
erature.
For long time when he was in Mil
waukee his home was ten acres of land
now a part of the park on Oakland ave-
hue. He saw Milwaukee rise from small
beginnings to the states metropolis.
He was always fond of old volumes
and was an inveterate, reader, Among
his books are some of the Milwaukee
directories issued SO long ago that there
were not enough names to make a vol
ume larger than a school primer.
Deceased always adhered to the Uni
tartan faith and was one of those to as
sist in establishing the church in Mil
R Rapast He Go,, was present when Rev.
ordained and recalled to his last days
the teachings of Rev. Gannett, now of
Rochester, n. Y. In Baraboo he was a
member of the church and most of the
time was one of the officers.
A short service was held at the home
this morning by Rev. Gilmore of TIE
Madison Unitarian church. After this
service the remains were taken to Mil
waukee for interment On Sunday morn
ing, at 10 O'Clock, the service will be
held at Truesdelps undertaking estab-
lishment, 81 Broadway, and interment
will be in Forest Home. The son, DIR:
+: T. Ellis Of Baraboo. and daughter.
Miss Lillian Ellis of ST. Paul, accom-
panied the body to the Cream city. His
wife was not able to make the journey.

Of finding some, at least, of the great
fortune The first was directed to the
Bank of England and was an inquiry
as to the 100000 draft.
Another has fastened to the depart
ment of the treasury in an effort to find
out the numbers of the $4,000 worth
of bonds Stinson purchased with the
profits of his mining venture in Butte
The recorders of perhaps 200 counties of
Arizona, New Mexico and California
were asked to search the records for the
ming OF Stinson's claims and the titles
to his property.
According to the statements of those
who knew Stinson best up to the time
of his disappearance, his wealth in bonds
and drafts was about 5000 900. With

NEW FOOD LAW

cheap and better than much -uncIean
milk butter, but the dairy interests
organized and forced the legislation.
The law should have provided that
pkgs. Of OleOmargarine bear the state
ment Of ingredients and then let peo-
pie who desire purchase it for just
what it is, and not try to kill it by a
heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes
try to force measures in their own in
terests, but contrary to the interests
of the people and the labor trust is
always active to push through bills
drafted in the interest Of that trust
but directly contrary to the interests
Of the people as whole. Witness
the anti-injunction bill by which labor
unions seek to tie the hands of our
courts and prevent the issue of any
order to restrain the members Of that
trust from attacking men or destroy
ing property. Such a bill is perhaps
the most Infamous insult to our courts
and the common people ever laid be-
fore Congress and the Representative
in Congress must be held to a strict
accountability for their acts relating
thereto. But when bills come before
Congress that are drawn in the inter
est Of all the people they should re-
ceive the active personal support of
the people and the representatives be
instructed by the citizens The Sen
ators also should be written to and in
structed. If, therefore, you will re-
member your privilege and duty you
will at once-now-write to your Con-
gresham and Senator on this pure
food Dill. Clip and enclose the copy
herewith presented and ask them to

A colored girl while walking along the
banks of a creek, tributary Of the Po-

ridge, in Westmoreland county, a few
days ago discovered jar sticking out Of

She pulled it up and found it contained a
large quantity Of Spanish silver coin said
to be worth $500. The coins were of old
dates, none being more recent than sixty
five years ago.-Washingt Post.

makers of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to one
self, family and nation demands that
every man and woman join in an or
ganized movement to clear our people
from this blight. You may not be able
to go personally to Washington to i'm
press your Congressman, but you can,
in a most effective way tell him by let

Remember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and If goodly number Of
citizens express their views to him he
secures q very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety of the peo-
pie is assured by insisting that the
will Of the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for

This pure food legislation is a pure

those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people, There

Many pure food bills have been In
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
jectionable
It has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No government commission or officer
has the right to fix food standards"
to define what the people shall and
shall not eat, for what agrees with one
may not agree with another and such
act would deprive the common citizen
of his personal liberty. The Postum
Cereal Company, Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers Of prepared foods in
the world, have naturally q close
knowledge Of the needs of the people
and the details of the business Of the
purveyors (the retail grocer and, guild
ed by this experience have prepared
bill for submission to Congress which
is intended to accomplish the desired
ends, and inasmuch as a citizen Of the
u. S. has a right to food protection
even when he enters another State 1t
is deemed proper that the government
take control of this matter and pro-
vide a national law to govern all the
states A copy Of the bill is herewith
reproduced.
Section l governs the maker wheth
er the food is put up in small pack
ages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or
otherwise
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose printed copy Of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re-
taller cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee Of his selling the food as
it is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer Of responsibility Of the
truth Of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where 1t properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain
themselves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex
ample, have from the beginning Of its
existence printed on the outside Of
each and every pkg. Of Postum and
Grape-Nuts food a truthful and exact
statement Of what the contents were
made Of In order that the consumer
might know precisely what he or she
was eating. A person desiring to buy,
for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly
and willing to pay the price has a right
to expect not only an equivalent for
the cost but a further right to a GER
tainty as TO what he eats. Or he may
be willing to buy at less cost jelly
made part Of fruit juices, sugar and
portion Of glucose. But he must be
supplied with truthful information of
the ingredients and be permitted to
use his personal liberty to select his
own food accurately.

Some oppressively intelligent and
carping critic may say this Is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. It is true that these arti
cles are spoken Of here in public
manner, but they are used as illustra
tons Of a manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg a
truthful, exact statement Of ingredi-
ents, to shame other makers into do
ing the fair thing by the common peo
pie, and establishing an era Of pure
food, but that procedure has not yet
forced those who adulterate and de-
ceive to change their methods, hence
this effort to arouse public sentiment
and show way out Of the present
condition of fraud deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers Of America about $4,000,
to print this announcement in practic
ally all Of the great papers and maya
zines, in the conduct of what he choos-
eS to term, IAN educational cam
paign," esteemed to be Of greater di-
rect value to the people than the es-
Enlistment Of many libraries. That
is held to be a worthy method Of using
money for the public good. Tell the
people facts, show them way to help
themselves and rely upon them to act
intelligently and effectively.
The reader will be freely forgiven
if he entirely forgets the reference to
Postum and GrapeNuts, if he will but
join the pure food movement and do
things. Z. w. POSI.
