two days. Debate on this bill will be
confined to the destruction of the vari-

Pure Food Bill
The pure food debate will be some
what political in It's nature. For several
weeks members who have applied for
time to make tariff rpeeches and to dis
cuss politics generally have been told
to wait until the pure food bill came up.
The passage of this bill before the
adjournment of the session was planned
some time ago by Speaker Cannon and

and foreign commerce commission, as il
was decided then to make it the vehicle
for the closing of the political speeches
of the session.

the weeks work, will be i;iven the con-
sideraton which the time permits. In

have set for the house it may require
that body to sit during the evening, as
we'll as carrying out the special order

the general deficiency bill will not en-
ter into legislative consideration this
week.

this bill, and therefore remain at the
capitol while it is pending, that put

makes it easier to maintain quorum
of the house during the wind up of
the session when the presence of the
members is needed to prevent useless
delays.

on Thursday, June 81. will be in ses-
sion in Washington and will be ready

, pointing, as one by one the horses
