New Pure Food LAW VIII Knock Out
the Highly Bleached Article.

New Pure Food Law VIII Knock Out
the Highly Bleached Article.
The pure food law that goes into effect
Jan. is far reaching in is provisions,
but il carried out will without doubt
result in much good to the community
and will probably lessen in measure
the stomach troubles so prevalent. There
will be no more white sugar offered for
sale after the new law becomes opera
tive. There will be loaf and granulat-
ed sugars as at present, but the color
will be dull yellowish white, not very
attractive to the eye, but much more
healthful than the article known to trade
for fifty years or more as white sugar"
Washing bluing is used TO Impart the
snow white color and Uncle Sam has
decided that it is better for the health
of the country to put aside the washing
bluing and get back to first principles.
Timed vegetables, notably tomatoes,
green peas, and some kinds OF string
beans will not have the appearance of
having been so freshly picked as for
merly. but the coloring will be natural.
No effects in coloring will De permitted,
except that provided by nature. Mar
malades and preserves, that tempt the
eye before the palate, will not be quite
so attractive, and If there is slight
scum on the jar, skim it of and say
nothing. 1t is simply proof that pre-
servatives have not been used.
Mustard, which generations of the
people have come to regard as yellow
never having seen any that was not
adulterated--will be gray and butter
will be nearly white.
Timed meats will probably lose their
popularity, for il is expected the prices
will be about doubled. Some of the So
called timed meats and game offered are
made of combination or corn meal and
condiments that look inviting but have
very little food value. They are put up
at small cost, have a delicious flavor. but
they are not meats and game. and ii is
not expected housekeepers will buy tin
ned cornmeal when they know just what
it is as told by the label on the can.
The new law makes no reference to
eggs and the cold storage brand can be
disposed of as the integrity os the dealer
decides. Refrigerated meats and bread
stuffs are not mentioned in the law.
After Jan. 1 all goods shipped from
factories will go out with guarantee
that they are as represented; that there
Is no false labelling. The penalty for
violating law is not more than one year
In federal prison or $500 fine or both.
and for second offense the penalty is

But Change of Food Gave Final
Relief.
Most diseases start in the alimentary
canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal Of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any Of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these things
are digested In the small intestines, and
II we eat too much, as most of us do,
the organs that should digest this kind
of food are overcome by excess of work,
so that fermentation, indigestion, and
a long train Of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, soui
stomach. belching gas, and a bloated
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from in
digestible foods to Grape Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving the
distress but in building up strong di'

Secretary ON Negro Soldiers Who

President Rooseveft's action in dismiss
ing from the army three companies Of
negro troops in the Twenty-fifth infantry,
as a penalty for the outrage at Browns
vile, Texas, is warmly defended by See
retary of War Taft in his annual report.
The report, after pointing out that the
Presidents order has been severely criti-
cised because it condemns the innocent to
undeserved punishment, thus reviews the
incident:
"Out Of battalion of ITO enlisted men
in the army of the United States, from
nine to twenty men formed a preconcert-
ed plan to revenge themselves upon the
people of town in which they were sta
toned for the insults they felt that the
townspeople had heaped upon them. In
accordance with the plan, they left the
barracks under cover of darkness--about
midnight-and proceeded to discharge
their weapons into the houses of the
town for the purpose of killing those
against whom they felt grievance.
"Tbey came near killing some one or
more of the three women and seven chill
dren who were sitting or sleeping in two
of the lighted rooms into which they fred.
They, in fact, did kill one man, wound
another and seriously injure the chief of
police. They accompanied their firing
with expressions indicating the malice
which prompted their action. There can
be no doubt, therefore, that the squad of
men who moved together from the fort to
the town end did this shooting were
guilty Of murder, and murder in the arst
degree"
