South Bristol.


One Of the most enjoyable social
events of the season In South Bristol
occurred on the evening Of Oct. 20, nc
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Adams, the occasion being the twenty |
fifth anniversary of their marriage.
More than one hundred invitations
we're sent out and as far as possible
all responded LA person. Among those
present were friends from Waukegau,
Kenosha, Wilmot and Lake Villa.
The presen IS were many and beauti-
full. The bride and groom were ia
their jolliest mood and ali present
know they are good entertainers. The
house was beautifully decorated with
autumn leaves and flowers. During
the evening Miss Lille Darby, Of
Wi1not, sang several selections, Mrs.
Fred Leonard gave a reading and
Mrs. Turner, of Bristol, also added to
the pleasure of the evening with
choice selections on the graphaphone.
One we'll known gentleman friend
boosted that he should kiss the bride,
which he did and his better half fully
retaliated by kissing the groom. AT
the proper time delicious refresh-
ments were served and Judging by
the amount consumed, were fully APP
preciated by all. But the most
pleasant evening has an end and at a
late hour or rather ala early one the
company dispersed wishing the
happy couple might live to celebrate
their fiftieth anniversary.

NcAdams Secures
10 Arrest of ke-
10 County Farmers
TX WAS WATERED
conpiains clares That III, Exam ina
'ian TX showed THAT 1t Was
ruta u FIVE Per Cent Water
Oths Prosecutions Promised

William acAdam, of Waukesha.
stat DAIRY food commissioner, is in
the city making an Investigation Of
milk offered for sale and already he
has caused warrants to be issued for
the arrestsof two milk dealers iii the
town Of Pleasant Prairie charging
them with selling adulterated milk.
The men are Fl. c. Owen and Fred
Anderson and both are we'll known ia
the town.
t is alleged in the complaint that
the milk sold by these men was
adulterated to the extent Of twenty
five percent, the adulteration being
water. Watering of milk has been
the right Of the farmer for many years
but it seems that the state department
is now determined to put an end TO the
practice. According TO the farmers
in different parts of the county there
has been considerable ,adulteratic1 of
milk in Kenosha county. ManY OF
the dairymen ship their milk to Chica
go and other cities and It's impossible
for these men to adulterate the milk
as it is paid for in keeping with the
tests made at the point Of delivery.
1t would be Of no value for the farmer
to water this milk as it. would simply.
reduce the price of it. However
many of the farmers sell their product
to the creameries and other milk sta
tons in the county and to these sta
tons the milk is sold by weight.
1t is claimed that a twenty-five per
cent adulteration would greatly IN
crease the profits of the farmers.
Much Of this alleged watered milk is
offered for sale in the city Of, Kenosha
and it is impossible for, the creamery
men and and milk men to protect them
selves against the imposition without
putting in costly machinery for the
test Of the milk.
Samples of milk secured from many
Of the farmers selling milk to local
stations have been taken and sent to
the state department at Madison and
these have been carefully tested. The
warrants for Owen and Anderson are
thought to be only the beginning Of a
crusade against others in the county.
The milk men who are in the retail
trade are giving Inspector McAdanl
every possible aid il his effort to
stamp out adulterated milk in the
county.
Owen and Anderson we're notified
Of their arrest by telephone and
agreed to come to the city and answer
the charges. However they failed
to appear by eleven O'Clock and an
officer was sent ont to bring them IN.
The hearing of the case will take
place before Justice McCarron late
this afternoon.

TIE ANNUAL PROCLAMATION
President Roosevelt Sets Aside Nov.
20 II Day for National Thanksgiving

81 dSHE ROOseVelT SETS ASIDE Now
2o II Day for National Thanksgiving
he president Tuesday issued a
proclamation naming Thursday, Nov.
p. ~ 4 day Of Thanksgiving. The
text of the proclamat ton is as follows:
Proclamation- The time Of year
has come when, in accordance With
the wise custom of our forefathers, it
becomes my duty to set aside a
special day Of thanksgiving and
praise to the Almig hty because Of the
blessings we have received and of
prayer that these blessings may be
continued. Yet another year of wide
spread we'll being has passed. Never
before Ii our history or in the history
Of any other nation has a people en-
Joyed more abonnding material pros
perity than is ours; prosperity SO
great that it should arouse in US no
spirit of reckless pride, and least Of
all spirit of needless disregard of
our possibilities; but rather
sober sense Of our many blessings
and a resolute purpose, under Provi-
dence, not to forfeit them by any &C
ton Of our own.
Material we'll being, indispensable
though it is, never can be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we
build nothing upon this foundation
then our national life will be as
meaningless and empty as house
where only the foundation has been
laid We must live in accordance
with the laws Of the highest morality
or else our prosperity itself in the
long run will turn out curse instead
of blessing. We should be both reve-
rently thankful for what we haYe re-
ceiyed Eand earnestly bent upon turn
ing it into means. Of grace. and not
1 Of destruction
Accordingly, [ hereby set apart
! Thursday, the 10Th day of November,
next, as a day Of thanksgiving and
Isupplication, on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches, devoutly acknowledge all
that has been given them, and to pray
that they may in addition receive the
power to use these gifts Alright.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of
1.-THE United States to be affixed.
| Dated at the city Of Washington,
this 22d day of October, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hum
idred and six, and Of the independence
Iof the United States the one hundred
and thirty first.
| THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Mrs. Douald MacLeau, of New
York, regent general Of the National
Society Of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. honored the Ke-
nosha chapter yesterday afternoon,
addressing them on the efforts Of the
national organization whose import
ant work at present is the completion
Of the Continental Memorial hall at
Washington, q. C. She impressed
upon the ladies during her able ad-
dress the idea that the Continental
hall is to be a memorial to the heroes
Of TO- and that each member of the
society has personal interest IN this
work.
Mrs. MacLean also called the at
tention Of the cha pier to the remark
able increase IN the national mem
bership during the past year, the or
der at present having membership
of $1,000 members.
The national order has appropriated
from it's general fund sum of money
sufficient to construct a reproduction
Of Sir Walter Ra1eigh's English
manor house on the island at James
town, Va. This building is to be com
pleted before the opening Of the ex-
position at Jamestown in 1907
This is ia keeping with one of the
objects Of the order which is the pre-
servation of historic memories and
Mrs. MacLean made several sugges-
tions whereby the local cha pier could
be helpful in preserving Kenosha' $
early history.
The ladies were entertained by Mrs.
Rowe, assisted by Mrs. Purnell, a
sister of Mrs. MacLean. The rooms
were beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion and during the afternoon the
local chapter presented Mrs. MacLean
with flowers.
That her eloquent address will
serve as an inspiration to the Kenosha
chapter was indicated by the enthu-
siasm with which it was received.
The coming Of Mrs. MacLean was
quite surprise to the mem bers of the
Keuosha chapter aud only an hours
notice had been given Of her address,
but nearly all Of the members Of the
local chapter were present at the
meeting. Mrs. MacLean left Ke-
nosha Tuesday evening for Iowa City
where she will attend an important
conference Of the society.
| Already the contest for the re-elec-
ton Of Mrs. MacLean as regent gen

LABEL MUST TELL
Misbranding Of Food or Drug
Products is to be Strictly
Guarded Against
PRESERyATivES ARE LIMITED

Secretary Wilson has promulgated
the regulations under which the re-
Gently enacted pure food and drug
law will be enforced.
Ingredients Of packages shall be
stated on the labels so the purchaser
may know precisely what he is buy
ing.
In the matter of coloring, the re-
quirement is made that no ingredient
known to be deleterious to human
health shall be used BY manufac-
turers. This regulation applies with
particular force to the manufacture
Of candies.
Authorizations, particularly Of drugs,
is prohibited, but standard drugs will
not be considered adulterated pro-
vided that they are branded so as to
show their actual strength or purity.
Poisonous or deleterious preserva-
tives shall only be applied externally
and shall be Of kind that will not
permeate to the interior Of the pro-
duct and the preventative must be of
such a character that, until removed,
the food products are inedible. Mis-
branding Of food or drug products is
guarded against particularly.
The label on every product must
bear the name Of the product. the
place Of manufacture and must show
whether the article is compound,
mixture or blend; and must designate
the ingredients and proportions in the
case of drugs and foods. The use Of
any false or misleading statement, de-
sign or device on the label is specific
ally prohibited.
It is known that some differences Of
opinion arose among members of the
commission respecting important de-
tails Of the rules IL AS originally
drafted the rules practically pro-
hibited the use Of generic names as
applied to products Of American man
ufacture. For instance, champagne,
as distinguishing a kind of wine,
could not be used in connection with
an American wine of that kind, be-
cause it was held to be misleading, If
not actually deceptive. Geographical
names, generally, as applied to food
or drug product, or to wines and
liquors were not permitted to be used
under the regulations as prepared by
the commission.
When the regulationsgwere submit
ted to the secretaries of the three de-
partn1ents for approval, some changes
we're made in them of very impor-
tant character. The use Of the geo.
graphical names, for instance, was
provided for in cases where it was
thought the names were generic or
distinctive. It was provided, however,
that It should be indicated on the
package containing the product that
it was of American manufa cture.

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS AND CHRISTMAS CHEER.
Down the Ages Pagansm the Christian World
Different Celebrations of the Universal Feast.

Since the twelfth century, when mir
acle plays were introduced, people have
found pleasure in this amusement
These miracle plays were the forerun-
ners of the drama and our modern
plays. They were full of anachronisms
l-Noah's Wife would swear by st. John
and some historic Israelite would say
mass-but they supplied a real want
| of the people. The pantomime has
been called the legitimate drama of
Christmas. Is came from Italy, but
tradition carries it back to pagan
| times.
During the middle ages, when music
architecture, painting and poetry found
expression in religious way, the
Christmas celebrations were beautiful
and dignified. Later the festival de-
generated into a mere occasion for
lawlessness. These hoIy-day antics
seem to have been INDUCED in at first
only by the common people, but later
the clergy and magistrates Joined in
the rude ceremonies, and churches
were given up to their revels and mock
| services, which consisted of limitations
of sacred rites and parodies on the
hymns of the church. An effort was
made to reform these practices, but
F, the spirit of the times fostered them
and those who protested were thrown
into prison
From this it came about that the
Protestants, as they arose, disregarded
all holy-days. At the time of the
Reformation the Calvinists rejected the
celebration of Christmas. In Scotland
the day was held i'm contempt; the
women spun and wove, while the men
plowed in the fields. But now, again,
all Christian nations celebrate Christ
mas. The Norwegians make much of
the virtue of hospitality, the first
courtesy among them being to offer a
pipe of tobacco. At their Christmas
dinner, which is rather simple, their
national hymns are sung between the
courses. In Sweden much attention
| is paid to cleanliness. The houses are
completely renovated before the Christ
mas festival, An almost universal
custom is that of tying sheaf of
corn to a pole, which is placed in the
garden fer the birds Christmas din
ner. Our Santa Claus originated in
Belgium or France, while "Merrie
Christmas" was the old English Christ
mas greeting.
Mention should be made of two of the
many Christmas ainusements. Mask
ing has in years past been made much
of. 1t is doubtless remnant of the
| Roman masquerade. OF card playing
a historian, writing of the preparation
| for Christmas. says: THE. country
maid leaves out one-half of her mar
keting and must be sent again, If she
| forgets a pack of cards on Christmas
eve. We read that in Queen, Anne's
time the squire of $500 year never
played cards except at Christmas, when
the family pack was produced from
the mantel-piece.
\
TO celebrate Christmas on the 9th of
January; others on the 18th of March,
and others on the 18th of December;
but about the year 430 Pope Julius 1
fixed the date as Dec. %, the date that
is now universally accepted.
