The bill in question provides for a
special annual appropriation Of $1,000
900 wherewlth TO pay the expenses Of
government inspection and the general
enforcement Of that act. 1t is dificult
to see how any greater precaution
could be taken in Los Angeles with
the aid Of municipal packing plant
than will be secured i'm the present
packing concerns under such govern
ment supervision as will be provided
for. All the expert opinion that has
been sifted in congress is agreed upon
the point that the plan now proposed
by the government will fully accom-
plish the desired end
In view Of all the foregoing circum-
stances. thoughtful citizens will be
inclined to wait until the govern
ment plan has been tested in Los
Angeles before feeling justified in in
curing the large cost necessary to es-
tablish a public abattoir.

TEN TONS OF PAPER FOR CIRCUS

The press agent of a big circus which
recently showed in this city said while
here that 1t took more than ten tons of
paper a week to bill the show when its
route lay through cities the size of Phil
adelphia. This paper is sent out ahead
in special cars, which carry foreman
and from fifteen to twenty-five men.
Besides being fitted up with living ac-
commodations for these men, such a
car has a capacity for twenty tons of
paper and about twelve barrels of paste.
When it reaches the town to be billeo
and this is always as early as pos
sible in the morning-it is met by a
number of wagons which have pre-
viously been arranged for, and these
carry the paper and paste over the bill
route. Owing to the systematizing of
the bill posting business. everything in
the way of wall space, method of COW
ering and the like, is easily provided
for, but it must be by definite agree
ment made beforehand, and when this
has been overlooked there is a hard
tangle to straighten out-Philadelphi

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The earnest discussion of the meat
question in Los Angeles, by both citi-
zens and officials, shows that the pack
ing business here must be above sus-
picion. Nothing short Of that require
ment will be tolerated. The cost of the
best methods and most approved ap-
pliances for attaining that object will
not weigh against the determination
that "the best is none too good for Los
Angeles"
But in a matter so important as
revolution in a long established and al
ways reputable business, the cost of
which revolution is estimated at half
a million dollars of the taxpayers
money, 1t is the part of wisdom to
proceed with caution and good judg-
ment. A public abattoir must be erect
ed and operated by the city IL that
step is necessary to secure satisfactory
results in the slaughtering business
Even the fact that the raising of the
requisite half million dollars might at
this time initiate against the .city's

water bond issues ahead, should not be
considered by the side of provision for
the health of the community.
But the federal government has just
taken this matter in hand, on behalf
Of Los Angeles as well as of Chicago,
Omaha, Kansas City etc. The meat
inspection bill as approved by the
house committee, and fairly sure to
pass, makes stringent provision for
regulating the meat business in all
parts of the United States.
The extent of that stringeney may
be inferred from the fact that the vio-
lation of any of its regulations is made
"a misdemeanor punishable by fine
not to exceed $4,000 or imprisonment
not to exceed two years" In addition
to that. there is special provision re-
lating to bribery OF inspectors. impos-
ing Imprisonment Of from one to three
years and a fine OF from $1,000 to

SHYLOCK INSURANCE
COMPANIES

The roseate reports about what the
insurance companies would do for San
Francisco, given out directly after the
calamity. are well remembered. 1t was
said that the companies would not only
pay promptly the face value of their
policies, but that they would waive the
question of relative responsibility be-
tween the earthquake and the confla-
grafton.
Readers OF The Herald will recall
that the aforesaid outgivings were
heavily discounted by this newspaper
in the estimate Of their value The
fact was pointed out that officers of
insurance companies could not be
guided by sentimental considerations
If they would, and that they were not
likely to accept such guidance If they
could.
Now we have the sequel of the mat
ter in the statement from San Fran
cisco that some of the insurance COM
panies, presumably considerable
proportion of them, are attempt
ing to squirm out of the pay
ment of direct fire losses in
full. The squirmers. as reported, offer
to settle on the basis of rs per cent of
their fire losses. The alternative, ap-
parently, is litigation based on the dis
tinction between earthquake and fire
destruction, which might be prolonged
indefinitely.
The urgent need OF money on the part
of policy holders will be a great tempt
alton to accept the Shylock terms that
are offered. 1t is a disreputable offer
for n company to make, however,
and any company that makes such an
offer should be barred from business
in every state. AS the attorney gen.
eral of California says, the payment of
only rs per cent of the losses would
not only be proof of unsoundness and
unfitness to do business, but it would
be the plainest evidence of dishonesty"
San Francisco policy holders should
stand together in this emergency. They
should insist upon every dollar right
fully due them. and they should force
payment in full even to the extent of
wiping out insurance company assets
and draining the stockholders. Fur
thermore. no company that writes itself
down a defaulter should hereafter be
allowed to do business in the state.

PEANUT AS A FOOD PRODUCT

The peanut season is now on in full
blast, and the great American public
will consume many a ton during the
nor baseball game will be a success un-
less goodly supply of fresh roasted
peanuts Is provided.
While thousands of people consume
their peck of peanuts, little is known of
this palatable and companionable nut
companionable because there is such
satisfaction in having them near OF
hand, they help to pass away the time
people eat and continue to eat until
every nut is gone. totally unaware that
they are consuming the most nutritious
food that can be obtained. The little
peanut that only a few years ago was
considered by physicians as unfit to put
in the stomach is now the basis of food
products of one of the largest sani-
tariums in the country-analysis proves
it to contain three times the nutriment
of beef-hence as it becomes better
known and its value realized, It enters
the bill of fare in the shape of peanut
butter, salted peanuts. soup, cakes, etc.
Many VegetarianS through the country
use no other bread lubricant than pea
nut butter, which has been prepared
from the roasted nut.
Those who know the keeping quality
of raw peanuts purchase their supply
for months ahead, and roast them as
needed In bread pans, thus insuring
fresh, crisp nuts as desired. The raw
nut will keep in COOL dry place FOR
ten years.
Peanuts can be eaten either roasted
or raw the latter acting rather as a
laxative.
In the growing districts the chill
dren are allowed to eat at will of the
raw nuts, no harm coming to them,
but rather fattening on the diet.

tive values of peanuts as food, COM

in New York. and has lived there most
of her life. Western people are more

reporter to Topeka to interview the
latter lady. The reporter found tne
maid at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joap

Mr.. and Mrs. David n. Mulvane are
temporarily stopping with his folks.

duced himself. And Kansasl 1t is
the grandest state In the Union, except

to go back on old New York, could
you?" she said with sly twinkle IN
her eye. The maids name is Marguer-
ite de Maloy, and she was formerly
second girl in rich New York family.
She wore a blue check apron, with pale
gold buttons, and her head was covered
with sort of fancy work cap; a lace
affair, evidently q new style, for the
reporter had never seen anything like
It,
Miss de Maloy likes music, and, when
living in New York, went every Sunday
afternoon to hear the concerts given by
the Sangerbund at Schutzen park, Long
Island. She Is also fond of society and,
after the concerts, she usually danced
until midnight "I belong to the Re-
form church." she said In answer to
question. Saturday, and not Sunday,
is our holy day. Yes. 1 am club wo-
man, and a suffragist. L hope to stir
the women of this town to duty. l
understand they are excellent women
in every way, except that they do not
give sufficient time to uplift."
Miss de Malloy has brown eyes and
hands, and black hair. which she wears

thought of the packing house scandal,
she said she was still eating her break
fast bacon, but had cut out all canned
meats. Miss Millicent Mooney, second
girl for one of the Gleed boys, will
give party next Friday night at which
Miss de Malloy will be introduced to
Millicents friends. Miss de Malloy

has Travelled extensively in company
with Mrs. Mulvane, and is anxious to
join Topeka's Travel club. There is
nothing about Miss de Malloy that Is
of an indecisive nature. She wears the
biggest pompadour, the highest elbow
sleeves, the longest black gloves, the
highest French heels, the smallest of
aprons, etc. She is what is called an
extremist. Miss de Malloy is a great
authority on the shading of blonde
hair, and once delivered a lecture on
the subject before the wives and
daughters of the Wealthy club in New
York city. Miss de Malloy thinks the
finger nail should be polished as care

A SPONGE FARM

"I know of several sponge farms in
the Mediterranean that pay WELL" said
a druggist. "'The sponge in the past
was always gathered wild, like the
clam. 1t is only of late years that a
tame or cultivated sponge Ca farm pro-
duct like the oyster) appeared.
"The world owes sponge farms and
sponge farming to Prof. Oscar Schmidt,
Syrian. Schmidt, some years ago,
made a study of sponges. He selected
a good place in the bed of the sea- and,
breaking off pieces of living sponge, he
planted them.
"1'he result was excellent. The plant
ed sponges grew as we'll, or better, than
the wild. At a cost of $45 Schmidt
raised 1000 sponges. worth $1,000

cultivated. Pearl-bearing oysters are
cultivated. Sponges are cultivated.

and whales will be cultivated-before

The announcement that several bar

dumped into the river near the Brewer
bridge by a frightened driver early
Thursday morning to avoid the liquor
deputies was the cause for the as

beneath the turbulent flood.
Desperate ones laid aside their cloth

could find, and before the day was
