Douw who is always alert and never
forgets anything, arose when Alder
man Louis Baer, of the Third Ward,
entered the room and extended Alder

Board. Mayor Douw said since the
last time Alderman Baer was present
at a meeting of the City Council, he
(Mr. Baer) had left the ranks of

neat and fitting little speech and the
entire Board arose TO greet Alderman
Baer, who came in little late to the

There will be fun festival and eve

giving matinee and evening, when
webster Cullison's lighting, laughing
comedy, with musical interpretations
"a Runaway Mattel" will be seen.
The piece is said to create enough in
explainable complications to send the
audience into "A hysteria of mirth, un-
like many plays of this sort, however,
the comedy is free from anything OBJ
ioctionable and is clean and whole
some. The situations are natural and
the presentation unlabored. There
is far more merit than in any more

truthfully be said that a Runaway

WILL LABEL FOODS
United States Government to In
sist on Enforcement of Pure
Food Law Recently Passed
WOULD PROTECT CONSUMERS


Manufacturers who employ false
and misleading brands on their prod
ucts to deceive the public and com
Founders of misrepresented foods are
Fastening to get under the new pure
food law. The sweeping character of
the law is brought to light at this
time in connection with the plans Of
the committee representing the de-
partments of agriculture and COM
merce and the treasury in making
regulations for governing the sale of
foods in this country under the law.
Scores of requests have been received
by the departments from food produc-
ers in all parts of the country asking
to be heard on the proposed regula-
tions, and some of the producers are
sending representatives to talk with
the regulations committee.
"The subject of labelling and com
pounding is to be the chief point of
the regulations in their reference to
the public, said an official of the de-
partment of agriculture. "Adulter-
ated foods are not of real menace to
the consumer. Take away the food
preservatives and occasional deleteri-
GUS coloring and little harm is done.
It is in misbranding that the public is
deceived"
Splendid illustrations of these facts
are just now coming to light. One
firm wants to know how it will be
about the brands to be employed on
lard products. He makes 'spure leaf
lard"; also what he calls 'spure re-
fined lard" Investigation proves
that the latter article is lard COM
pounded with cottonseed oil. Under
the definition to be given the word
"pure" by the government it is pure"
nothing but a compound, and must be
branded as such. "Pure refined lard"
is higher type Of lard. A mixture
of lard and cottonseed oil is com.
pound and the ''pure refined'' label
would be fraud.
One caller at the department want
ed to know "How about the label
'Westphalia ham?'' He was pointed
to section of the law prohibiting
misre presentations as to origin Of
product. But he insisted, there
is town of Westpha1ia in this coun-
try He was asked if he really had
that place in mind when he labeled
his goods "Westphalia ham, His
smile was faint. Il was expected that
the new regulations will clear all such
cases of false labelling and misbrand-
ing of compounds.

SEEK FOR FLOATER.
Tugs From Kenosha Seek to Pick
up Body Of a Man Seen
Floating off This Port
IDENTITY OF BODY UNKNOWN

Tugs from Kenosha and Waukegan
searched in the lake off Kenosha We'd
nesday afternoon in an effort to find
the body of a man which was seen
floating in the lake eight miles off of
Kenosha early Wednesday morning.
The CHASTITY find was made by the
cook on the barge "John Lambert
which put into Waukegan on We'd
nesday morning. A. C. Jennings,
the cook on the barge, reported to the
Waukegan officials that when the boat
was about eight miles east of Keno
sha he had sighted a body floating in
the lake. According to the story told
the body was about seventy-five feet
from the boat, and so much of it was
submerged that it was impossible fer
Jennings to determine any facts IN
regard to it. He called the higher Off
Icers of the boat from their hunks,
and an effort was made to pick up the
floating body, but when boat from
the barge reached the place where
the body was seen it had disappeared,
and no trace Of it was found lately.
The body had evidently been in the
water for long time, and it is. stated
that it was perfectly nude.
The Kenosha officials we're notified
of the find by the barge men late in
the afternoon and the tugs made a
trip out into the lake in an effort to
find some trace of it, but nothing was
found that threw any light on the
matter. 1t is thought possible that
the hoater is the remains of fireman
who disappeared from Waukegan
several days ago and who is thought
to have been drowned in the lake.
So far as can be learned there is no
one missing from this port and the
local officials will make no farther
efforts to recover the body. AS the
body was quite way from the beach
it is more than probable that it has
been caught in one of the lake cur
rents and carried far out into the
waters of mid lake. If this is the fact
it may not come to the surface again
for weeks.
