MAY NOT PUT THE
 DATE ON LABELS
COMMITTEE SPENDS ENTIRE DAY GOING OVER THE PROVISIONS OF THE sEvERlDGE AMEND MENT.

Washington, June 1.-The House com mtttee on agriculture was locked in It's room with the Beveridge beef inspection amendment for six hours today. When the session ended at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon members said they had agreed to observe strict secrecy regarding what had been done.
 There was a general statement, however, that nothing had been done finally"
 The Beveridge amendment was taken as the base of action and the greater part of it was gone over tentatively.
 It Is understood the committee found itself generally in favor of striking out ment that the labels on the cans con- taining prepared meat products shall bear the date of manufacture.
 The problem of federal Jurisdiction to enforce the sanitary regulations on which the question of constitutionality was raised has a tentative solution at least in a proposition to have all labels for every character of meat product, canned and otherwise. issued by the secretaries attached to the product only after such sanitary regulations as the secretary shall prescribe have been compiled with, and approval been given by government in- spectors These government labels are then to be the passport of meat products into interstate and foreign trade and common carriers are forbidden to accept for shipment any consignment of goods without official government labels. This provision like all others, is only in the tentative stage.
 The question of who shall bear the cost of the inspection has not yet been reached in the consideration of the amendment. Several modificatlons are said to have been recommended regarding the discretionary authority to be given the secretary under the proposed new law.

TERRIBLE scALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out-Cured by Cuticura.

II had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. I at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to a physician
purchased a complete treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies, in which I had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again, only little lower; but
before it had time to spread I pro-
cured another supply OF the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use un-
til the cure was complete. It is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of a return.

When Woman Isn't Youna.


The report is that local religious
institution which is for young wom-
en-" has drawn the deadline of youth
at IS. Every woman over that age
will be marked % and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. It is unkind.
What is worse, it is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such 4
problem-not they. This is simply
another example Of Woman's inhu.
mainly to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that q woman is as old as she looks
and man is rs old as he feels. Just
now, we say it with regret, most wom-
en- look like so and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems good one. It is a plain,~ IN
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the yavages Of the civil war who still
claim vweetly to be in the thirties.

WHEN THE BED GOES ROUND
But Smith Was Too Wise e Wait on

THAT was an amusing story about
the congressman who caught his bed
the fourth time it came around. It
reminded me-" continued the narrator
"of the first time I heard the bed
phrase. It happened in Harrisburg,
where I was then stationed, and it
happened to legislator whom shall
call Smith. I
AT the first session Smith became
famous for his ability to comfortably
carry more liquor than any other man
In the legislature. At the opening Of
the second. session some Philadel-
phians got together and put up a job
on Smith. They arranged relays, so
that when one party had enough an
other should take hold, and thus keep
going until they had Smith down and
out. Well, they began with Smith
one evening, and after two relays had
succumbed their successors noted
with much satisfaction that Smith
was mixing his beverages-they
didn't know that was his custom, and
he fooled them ALL The bout con-
tinued all night and all of the next
day, and when the second evening
came Smith was the only man able
to get away unaided.
Several days later / asked Smith
how he got along after he reached his

Three Great conversationalists.

Three Great ConversationaIists.
The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these. DR.. Holmes was the most
spirited in the. bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
IN point Of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like illumination of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such warmth and depth of convic.
ton, such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness Of the principles pro-
fessed and Of the aims pursued by
him, that il was difficult to resist such
q power of fasc:nation.-Carl Schurz,
