The laws of many states forbid the
sale of any but pure spices, the fact
being generally recognized that aduls
.terated spices are injurious to the
health, besides being an imposition
upon the consumer, who pays for that
which he does not receive. h
Our spices are all of the highest
quality imported into this country,
are free from any adulteration. and
are strictly pure. Owing to their
high quality and perfect purity, they
: are not only more satisfactory to the
consumer, but are more economical,
as a smaller quantity is required than
of the lower grades of spices: They
are sold under a positive guarantee
to give perfect satisfaction.

START CRUSADE ON
] JERSEY ABATTOlRS.
State Board Of Health to Force Inn
provements in Slaughter Houses
in This State.

TRENTON, June 11.-George w.
Mcguire, chief food inspector of New
Jersey, believes there is room for i'm
provement in New Jersey abattoirs,
and for the purpose of bringing this
about the state board of health is
getting ready to start a crusade.
Mr. Mcguire says in some of the
big abattoirs in Jersey City butchers
and commission men have stalls near
the enclosures and to them is con-
signed the live stock which has been
condemned by government inspect
ors. This stock is slaughtered out
side the abattoirs and is sold wher-
ever a market can be found. q
Mi. Mcguire recommends the i'm
porting of live stock, and says the
slaughtering should be done under
state inspection.

Women Predominant.

There are 1.S4O,2S0 more men than
women in the United States, and the
same proportion prevails In almost
every other country. The only excep-
ton is In Paraguay, where there are
more than twice as many women than
men. This is due to the fact that
some years ago. in a political revolu-
tion and a war with Brazil and the
Argentine Republic the men were al
most exterminated.

When Washington made his tour of

Washington wrote in his diary on
Oct 81, 1888: "By promise was to have

but. the morning proving very wet and
the rain not ceasing until 10 o'clock. !

r%icultural warehouse appeared, but In
stead OF going straight TO Tillson he
stopped ut the gate and began to ex-
anime it c%uriously.
Queer contrivance, that" he said
presently. Good idea, though. Grand
good idea. How did you happen to
think of itY"
Its some of my hired mans dilly-
dallyin'." replied Tllson grufly. Hes
forever up TO somethin' of that sort.
Wastes half his time"
Zeke flushed a little. but did not look
up.
mo wasted time about that" de-
clared the drummer cmphatically. ITS
n valuable ilea. There's money in 1t"
Money!" questioned Tillson eagerly.
Then lie saw one of the horses squeez-
ing his body through the open door
way of the corncrib. and he rushed Off.
He would have sent Zeke only he pre-
ferred him 10 continue at the post hole
digging.
$50 it's your idea. Is IT. said the
drummer as he crossed TO Zeke's side.
Going to have it patented. of course?"
Zeke laughed. ''Patentcdr' he echoed.
THAT foolish thing? Why. It's moth
ing but a lot of stones and two hinges
placed so the gate will shut itself"
But that's Just the sort of thing
which usually proves valuable per-
sisted the drummer. ''The simpler the
device, If It's useful. the better. You'll
make a mistake IL you don't protect
the idea"
Then | guess I'll make the mistake"
said Zeke carelessly. "Patents cost
money, and l haven't any. Besides, IL
! had, | wouldn't risk so cents on that
foolish thing"
The drummer regarded him thought
fully. Look here" he said suddenly.
"How would you like to make q trade?
could appropriate the idea for my
self If | did business that way, but I
don't. Still, | like to make money
wherever ! zee a chance. My house
does a good deal In patent articles, and
! al generally guess pretty close
whether there's money In an Idea or
not. Now. II you say so, I will put
this through at my own expense and
keep half the profit. What do you
sayT
you mean, use stones like that, and
allf" asked Zeke specifically.
mo; it's only the idea | want. We
would find some substitute for the
stones"
Zeke's indifference began to vanish.
IF you really think it's worth any
thing" he said doubtfully, "TIl be glad
to have you fix 1t up. But I don't want
you to lose money" Then a little won
d~eringly. II thought patents were made
OF pulleys and springs and-and such
things and that twas geniuses who
got 'em up who studied years and
years to make 'em all right"
The drummer smiled. ut is hat wav
sometimes he said, "but not always.
l have known inventors to have their
Ideas come to them In a moment. In n
flash of thought. But DIDO we fix
this Up now"
He opened a notebook and wrote for
some seconds, then tore out the leaf
and handed 1t to Zeke.

put your name to-" he said. Read II
first. though. Never sign anything un-
I'll you know what 1t is. Later / will

Zeke read the paper and signed his
