BLUFF OF A TRUST CALLED.

THE bluff OF the Glucose Trust OF Philadel-
4 phia which is said to be under the sway
Of the Standard Oil Company in Philadelphia,
has been called,by Food Commissioners Warren,
of that State The commissioner proceeded
against the trust criminaliy for selling aduter-
ated and poisonous glucose The trust was pre-
pairing to fight 1t denied the charges. That is
the way they always do The insurance grafters
were certain that the charges Of their looting
were false and were prepared to resist all efforts
TO bring them to the bar OF public inquiry The
Chicago potted meat packers furously de-
nounced insinuations upon the conduct of their
business.
The glucose trust and the candy men were in
dignant when Dr. Warren got after them in
Philadelphia Glucose, they said, had been used
for years in the manufacture Of candy and it was
pure. But it appears that the glucose trust had
been adulterahng with sulphur dioxide to give
color.
When producer OF adulterated and poisonous
matter goes up against chemist the adulterant
is in a bad way He is certain to be caught with
the goods upon him.
The greatest victory of Dr. Warren, however,
is the securing of promise to him that the
trust will cease sending the adulterated glucose
to the candy manufacturers throughout the
country. And the trust officers declared that
they would recall stuff that they had already dis
tributed. This, indeed is victory for the Food
Commissioner and notable one at that.
But DR. Warren should keep an eye upon the
trust Promises by combines to be good are
rarely worth their face value Such corporations
are good when they are forced to be. They do
not Of their own choice, pay the slightest atten-
ton to the welfare Of the people.

Worthy Of CONSIDERATION.


Editor The Evening Journal.
The action OF the trustees Of the New
Castle County Workhouse in having con-
structed a special section for the prison
ers afflicted with consumption Is WORTHY
OF commendation. and IS really one Of the
most humane actions they could have
taken. To have the consumDiive prison
ers thrown in with all the rest Of the
people confined in the institution was
forcing those free from the disease TO ruu
an unnecessary risk and was virtually the
same as condemning them to death. Con-
sumption once contracted Is, of course
practically fatal and It was a wise and
humane move TO have its victims separ-
ated from the others.

noticed the bird. which was short dis

to escape the pursuing monster, but
without success. The suction created
in the narrow canyon in which the

Better not wait until you receive that
anticipated raise in salary or until
your income is larger to begin to save
and lay by little money for rainy
day. Now Is the accepted time. If you
cannot do it on your present income,
you will not when it Is larger 1t is
not the size of your salary that makes
it possible for you to save; it is the de-
termination to do 1t. An increase in
wages means an increase in expenses
every time. Save a portion of your
salary while it is small, and you'll
find that your ability to save has in
creased along with your income. You
will be thrifty along other lines, too,
and when your hair begins to silver
and the cricks begin to come In your
back and your step Is not so elastic as
it used to be and perchance the grand
children begin to cluster around your
knees, you can turn the bulk of the
work over to the children, and you and
mother can begin to take life little
easier. This is as it should be.

1t has been asserted with some truth
perhaps that there are people down in
Missouri who have moss on their backs
and are not, strictly speaking, up to
date. Yet there are others. These
people have been through the tall
grass and are out in the open when
it comes to roadmaking. The grades
are thrown wide and well rounded.
The culverts are made of stone. The
farmers own road drags similar to the
King drag jointly-that is, two farm
ers own drag together. After a rain
as soon as it has dried sufficiently
Smith takes the drag and runs it over
the road along his farm, then Brown
will take it and drag the road adj
joining his farm, leaving the drag at
the line between the two farms, thus
making 1t as handy as possible for each
man. When roads are handled thus
regularly there are no ruts or chuck
holes. Each farmer takes a special
pride In keeping the road along his
farm In the best Of condition all the
time. The trouble with most of us is
we wait for the other fellow to fix his
share of the road first This is the
wrong idea. Don't always be the
cracker on the end of the whip. Get
hold Of the handle once in awhile.

An acquaintance, who, we must adj
NIT, is to be credited with more than
an ordinary degree of judgment in the
matter Of selecting location in one
of the western states, has rented his
farm and proposes to go to the district
where he Is thinking of locating and
live a full year, this with view to
getting personally acquainted with the
climate, rainfall, soil characteristics
and fertility-in short, for the purpose
of ascertaining as fully as possible
whether the land Of promise is in es-
sential points desirable as place of
permanent location. This fellows head
is level, and in the end he will find
that he has saved himself great deal
Of cash and disappointment by doing
as he plans to do. If at the end OF
the year he finds his new location de-
sirable, he Is in much better position
to select a particular site, having In
hand the most valuable data and In.
formation, which can alone be got by
experience. On the other hand, II he
Is not persuaded that he would on the
whole be gamer by moving, he has
but to return home and take charge OF
his home farm, being saved the In
evitably heavy loss Of two sales and
two movlngs. The case cited should
furnish helpful suggestion to many a
farmer In the more thickly settled cen
trail states who Is afflicted with the
emigration fever and yet who has not
the data at hand which will enable
him to make wise and judicious
choice.

1t is homely, prosy topic, yet with
out question in the present careless
method of handling this most valuable
of farm fertilizers is to be found one
Of the greatest wastes on the average
farm. Careful experiments prove that
about five-eighths of the plant food in
manure is found in the liquid part,
which is usually entirely lost, while the
solids are so placed that rains wash
away much of their value. The fer
ment-heating- which takes place in
the ordinary manure pile sets free
much of the nitrogen, which escapes
in the air, so that when finally spread
on the land manure handled in this
manner possesses barely third of its
original fertility. The only way to
avoid this waste is to use an abun-
dance of straw for bedding, which will
absorb a large portion Of the liquids,
and to spread the manure on the
ground next to be plOwed as fast as 1t
accumulates In the stables and sheds.
True, it will leach in the field, but the
ground which most needs II will be
directly benefited. There is no tool
which will so satisfactorily handle the
work from stable to field as the ma
nure spreader. Every farmer who has
any number of stock should have one,
and it goes without saying that the up
to date farmer is feeder of stock.
