Secretary Wilson has discover
ed that what is now sold at the high
est price in the market as pure
leaf lard, kettle rendered" is really
compound composed of 60 per
cent lard, 20 per cent beef stearine,
5 per cent peanut oil, and 10 per
cent cotton seed oil. Under the
pure food law the word lard" will
have to be taken off the label. Sew
eral packers have announced that
they will put out pure leaf lard, but
that its price will approximate that
OF butter, and in hot weather it will
be in semi fluid state. Beef stear-
line, besides being cheap, gives the
lard -frmness.
Few merchants are aware OF a
new Law which went into effect last
July One merchant in nearby
town is already grieving on account
of his ignorance OF the law to the ex-
tent of a heavy fine that was impos-
ed upon him. Heretofore it has been
customary to scratch the stamp of a
cigar box. and if he so desired, give
it away or do with it as he should
see fit, so long as the stamp was de-
stroted. But this is no longer the
case. The merchant or dealer mast
destroy the box Immediately after
the cigars arc gone. He must at
once remove the box from the case
and break it up. Tho law may sound
queer, but be sure that it is needed
or you will be caught before you
know Tx.
in his weather prediction fol
the month Of October Weather Pro
phet Hicks says: IA reactionary
storm period is central on the 10th
llth and 18th. Look at this time
ior return of cloudiness and au
tumnal rains and gales, extremes o.
temperature, with storms all the
way from vicious lightning ane
thunder to sudden change into al
most winter storms and tempera
lures. A regular storm period GOV
ers the 10th to the goth. In al
probability this will prove one 0
the most severe and dangerou'
storm periods of the month, if no
the whole autumn. Frosts will worl
into central to southern region
