MEAT N !. LAW
GOOD ONE
SECRETARY WILSON SAYS AMERI
CAN PRODUCTS WILL BE BEST
IN THE WORLD

Washington. D. c., July 2.-secre.
tary Wilson of the department of agri.
culture will not take vacation until
ne has completed the organization
necessary to put into operation the
new meat inspection law. In a state
ment issued today the secretary says:
American live stock is the health
lest In the world. The great ranges of
the west produce herds Of cattle in
which the percentage of disease is re.
markably small and the government
Is steadily reducing by approved scien-
tlfic methods this small percentage.
Legislation which has just become ef-
fective provides the department with
adequate laws and ample money to car.
ry into effect the supervision and in.
sspection to be extended from the pas
ture to the package. With this law in
operation 1t may be accepted as fact
that for healthfulness and purity the
prepared or canned product will com
pare fayorably with the fresh meat of
the United States, which has always
been the finest in the world. and peo-
pie at home and abroad may use our
meats with perfect confidence.

THE CLOSING OF CONGRESS
LIKE "LAST Day. OF SCHOOL,

Washington, D c., July 2.-Congress
adjourned at 10 o'clock Sat,rday night,
The end was peaceful. Hours before
the gavel fell for the last time in the
senate and house. sending into history
session that in many respects is the
most memorable held within the walls
OF the capitol, the decks were cleared
OF legislation, and then the weary SEN
ators and representatives were held up
for eight hours by the public printer,
who was caught by the jam of bills
which had to be enrolled and signed
by the President before business could
be declared formally closed.
This closing day of congress was a
sWeltering, humid, almost unbearable
day in Washington-the mercury close
ly approaching the 100 mark in shady
places. In spite of the intense heat the
members of the lower house indulged
in their pnual last-day o. school antics
and sang, popular and patriotic songs
while waiting for bills to come from the
printer and between the spells when
formal action had to be taken to round
up the work of the session.
The dignified senate indulged in none
of thest frivolities. Shelby M. Cullom
singing "Olld Shady" or Nelson w. AL.
drich whistting "The Mockingbird" for
the edification of crowded galleries
would startae the country sure enough.
