CANNON BREAKS GAVEL
SPEAKER IS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
PURE FOOD BILL.
Georgia Representative Says Bad Cook
ing Makes More Trouble Than
Bad Foods.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June o.
Speaker Cannon in announcing that the
House was in committee of the whole
today for the further consideration of
the pure food bill, was SO emphatic in
his physical demonstration with the
savel that the head flew off and rolled
among the clerks at the speakers table
After the approval of the journal the
House at once plunged into debate on
the pure food bill Mr. Adamson (Gal
said if the philanthropists really wanted
to do good they would go into the couu-
try and teach the people how to cook
vegetables by putting decent bacon with
them instead of old ham or beef. But
instead they get up Il literary bureau
and scatter literature and petitions and
agltatlonS all over the country, getting
up Il hySteria that under a misleading
name of purity will scare people into
asking Congress to do something it has
no business to do.
The following comprised a portion of
the remarkable exhibit made to the
House of Representatives on the opening
OF the debate on the pure food bill:
Pepper berries made out of tapioca cot
ored with lamp black.
Preserved cherries first hleached with an
acid and then colored With poisonous aui-
line dye
Fancy liquors manufactured from ethyl
alcohol and n chemical filler
Mocha coffee from Brazil.
Italian olive oil from Mississippi
Manufactured glucose honey with bees In
it.
Breakfast foods which weigh less than
their pasteboard covers.
Representative Mann was the show
man and he had an interested audience.
Once he threw pepper at several of his
colleagues, much to their dismay.
Don't be afraid" said Mann. ut

it's nothing but ground olive nuts"

Of from three to fifteen workmen are
set to sink a we'll about one meter in
diameter and no propping up is effected
until they strike at a depth of twenty,
forty or even sixty meters a bed of red
clay, in which Is found meerschaum
mixed with serpentine in pieces rang
ing from the size Of a hazel nut to that
Of an apple. The extraction Of these
pieces is often attended with great diff
ficulties, but work IS carried on day
and night.
When purchased by the wholesale
merchants the meerschaum is humid,
heavy and of a yellowish tinge. It has,
therefore, to be dried, either in the sun
or in a kiln, according to the season
Of the year. This causes two-thirds to
waste away, but turns it snow-white
color. It IS afterward rubbed with hot
water and sand and finally polished
with wax and Is then ready to be
placed on the market-London Tele-

asked to see his son. His request was
refused and the father made quite a
