Unless certain manufacturers order la
bells for their food products which tell
the truth. it was said that the litho-

This was promised by n committee
from the Federation of Labor. which
called at the Office of the Illinois Pure
Food Commission. The committee was
headed by Charles D. Wheeler, who
said:
what we think is that the commits
sion ought to go after the manufacture
ers. Half of the time the dealer sells
an adulterated article without knowing
what is in it. Then he gets arrested
and fined and has to pay the bill. l
sympathize with the small dealer. It
is the big manufactures who is respon-
sible for this glucose mixture colored
with aniline dye that goes under the
name of jam that we are after"

stroyed many ranch buildings.
These four counties are unorganized,
III there are no towns within their
borders. They are devoted wholly. to
ranch interests. The fire started in
the northern part of Hockey County
I'VE days ago and was swept south and
west by the high March wind that was
blowing. The grass was dry and of
great height and it afforded fuel for
the flames that caused the confagra-
ton to become one 81 the grandest
spectacles ever witnessed in this re-
gion.
The fire raced with the wine across
the breadth of two counties. covering
a distance of fifty miles in a few hours.
This broad wall of fame then swept
south and west, extending its path of
destruction for a distance of more than
100 miles and laying everything in that
broad scope Of country waste.
Women and children who occupied
ranch houses lying in the path of the
oncoming flames were rescued and car
ried to places of safety on f1eet-footed
horses.
1t is estimated that the losses caused
by the fire aggregated more than ST.
100000.

Bill For Government Plant May Wipe
Out DUPONT Contracts.

Out Dupont Contracts.
Washington, D. G.. The Powder

will lose it's valuable contracts with the
Government for making SmokeleSS
powder if q bill introduced in the
House by Chairman Hull, Of the Mill

struction of Government factories in

it now pays the trust. If this state
ment is correct, the, Government will
save in a single year on it's powder bill
three OF four times the cost of the pro-
posed Government powder plant.
The Introduction of the Hull bill was
due TO an expose of the working of the
Powder Trust made in the House by
Representative Graft, of Illinois, show
ing that the four great powder manu-.
featuring concerns of the cOuntry-the
DUPONT, the Lafand & Rand, the Inter
national and the California, which con
