IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
0et2M Troubles.

Y Nervous troubles are more often
caused by Improper food and indiges-
tion than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.

IN Era Of Good Feeling.

Senator Beveridge's observation that
party spirit is lacking in the present cam
paign recalls the EZRA of good feeling"
which characterized the two adnin.stra-
tions of Monroe. Il was a period Of
transition. The Virginia dynasty" was
about to give way 20 the strenuous De-
mocracy Of Jackson; the bitterness Of
party spirit prevailing IN the earlier days
of the republic had disappeared, and the
great slavery question, which was TO rend
the country into irreconcilable factions,
was just appearing as a cloud no bigger
than a mans hand on the political hori-
zon. Party differences were largely sunk
in the common aspiration for national
growth and development
Since the defeat OF Bryan in 1886 the
country has enjoyed a similar era OF
good feeling No great division Of sen
timent appears among our people; on all
the political questions OF the day there
is either unity Of opinion or the mildest
difference Mr. Blaine somewhere gave
some excellent reasons for thinking that
the tariff would continue to be the d.
viding line between the two great po-
ltical parties. but It is hard to work
up popular enthusiasm nowadays over
the tariff question. Politicians Of all par
ties are on the alert for some issue"
that will sharply divide the people. Mr..
Bryan has launched one 'paramount"
after another without creating more than
passing sensation. he finds thg5 the
opposition party will not allow HIM
monopoly of his opinions. and that d.
vision of sentiment runs on other than
party lines.
Notwithstanding the lack of party
spirit, the nation has been more or less
shaken with strong and heafhful COM
motions to a general reforming" But
the reforming has not been along party
lines altogether, and while 1t has grown
out OF aroused public sentiment, it has
not evoked bitter differences Of opinion
and mutual I'll feeling, We have been
fed for a long time on hatred of the
trusts, but there are doubtless a good
many Of US who, like MI Hearst. wouldn't
mind being a trust ourselves. One Of
cur saving traits as a people is that We
do not take things too seriously. and so
long as the republic is not in visible and
tangible danger We cannot be expected to
wear all our fighting toys
We are not given to know what the
future has In store for US. nor were
those who enjoyed the era Of good feel
ing of the early days aware that they
were living on volcano. However. "suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil thereof. ."
and We may well rejoice that for the
present our lot is cast in happy times

Cold storage Products.

One Of Chicagos municipal problems
Of interest everywhere is that of the
regulation Of the storage of food prod
ucts, particularly poultry and meats, in
refrigerators. \ few days ago thou
sands OF pounds of frozen poultry were
taken from a warehouse in that city
and condemned as unfit for food. OF this
poultry the health department reported
that when the chickens were taken out
for examination the smell was so nause-
ating that it was necessary TO drench
them with formalin before they could be
handled.
An ordinance IS pending before the city
council designed 10 protect the public
from those INSCRIPTIONS dealers who at
tempt to market such products, as well
as to insure the purity and wholesome
ness of cold storage products. It provides
that poultry placed in cold storage shall
be drawn. that it shall not remain in
storage more than six months. and that
it shall be tagged with the date on
which it is placed in storage. These pro-
visions are obnoxious to the cold-storage
interests which are fighting the ordi-
nance with all the forces at their COM
mand.
The controversy as TO the relative
healthfulness Of drawn and undrawn poul-
try is an old and unsettled one. It came
up in the District of Columbia q short
time ago, when bin was introduced in
Congress forbidding the sale within the
District Of any poultry which had not
been properly drawn. Health Officer
Woodward reported against the measure
on the ground that there was less danger
OF putrefaction In undrawn' than in drawn
poultry. He asserted that there were
very few instances in which food poison
ing was due to eating poultry. and that
no commercial necessity existed for the
proposed legislation. His attitude met the
approval Of poultry raisers and dealers
in poultry products, who have always

contended that the marketing Of poultry
dressed without the removal OF the In
ternal organs was the more .healthful
way. However this may be, the ssect of
long-conunued storage upon the nealth-
fulRess as food of fowls so dressed seems
TO need investigation. During the Chi
cago controversy it was asserted that
meat products underwent very serious
and injurious chances after long eontinu-
ance IN cold storage, rendering them dan
gerous to the public health. If this be SO,
refrigeration Is not as perfect a method OF

Labels and American Pride

The more We hear Of the probable op-
erations Of the pure food law. the better
We Ike it.
Among other things we note that the
pure Mocha and Java coffee" so familiar
TO all is not pure Mocha and Java at
ALL but very profitable import from our
South American neighbor, Brazil Under
the new law it will have 20 be labeled
for Just what it is.
As d matter Of business, and not as q
matter of law. why should not all prod
ucts, especially American products. be
labeled for what they really are, rather
than for what they are not? Why isn't
American pride sufficient to bring this
about. without the Intervention Of the
law? If cotton seed makes an oil that
is just as wholesome and just as clean
as olive oil-and there is no earthly rea-
son TO suspect that it does nOt-why
should it not be labeled Pure COtton-seed
On?" If it is necessary to blend it with
olive oil, why not say so on the label
and be proud to placaTd the American
end of the product, If, indeed. it cannot
be made a fine aIi-American product
by using the California oil in the blend
ing?
II American champagne is good at all
and many folks think it is-why not put
it out as an American product. and let
it 60 for what il is worth, anyhow? In
deed. we can conceive Of that degree Of
American pride which sees a virtue in
wooden nutmegs-for certain specific pur-
poses. at all events. They might be sold
to cure the nutmeg habit. Even the
famous glucose American cherry might
be held up as an anti-cocktail argu-
ment
What's the matter with American pride
Why are we not glad to herald to the
world our Industrial greatness and use
plain and unmistakable American names.
places. and dates 10 do it? The seductive
influence of a foreign label weighs with
a certain small contingent of our popu-
lation, perhaps, but if 1t weighs to any
considerable extent we believe that it is
the fault OF the manufacturer. and not of
the great mass Of the people. The manu-
fscturer should have long ago given the
American people d chance to show just
how they feel in this matter It has
all been one-sided up TO this time
We venture the assertion that every
manufacturer in this country will be will
ing to admit, after a few years opera
ton under the new law, that he has
been mistaken in the American people
all along. and that the new way Is
the better way.
