BUILT ON PURITY
Pure Food Law a Boon and Not a
Bomb to the Marshalltown Vinegar
Works-Not a Single Change in Its
Products.

The pure food law awakened the peo-
pie Of the United States as never be-
fore to the iniquities practiced by the
manufacturers Of foodstuffs But If all
products were produced with the same
regard to purity as those of the Mar
shall Vinegar Works. there would be
no need Of a pure food law. In comply
ing with the law it was not necessary
to change single ingredient Of any OF
its products. Yet in no line of manu-
facture are the opportunities to adul-
terate so numerous. This is a fine rec
ord. The pure food law compels the
truthful labelling of all goods and to do
this meant revolution in many factories
and not a few were driven to the wall
in consequence. The purity Of foods Is
the greatest question before the Am
erican people today. The MARSHALL
town concerns reputation was built
upon the purity and quality of its pro-
duct and the pure food law came as
boon and not as a bomb to Its busi-
ness.
They have complied with all the re-
auirements OF the national pure food
law so far as It affects their business.
Their application for the serial num-
Der has been received at the agricultur-
al department in Washington, has been
accepted and serial number 1880 as
signed. Their guarantee Of purity and
the certificate Of the United States
government to the effect that they have
complied with the provisions Of the
pure food law are back of their pro-
ducts.

An audience that filled every seat
OF the lower floor and balcony, and
overflowed into the gallery, was car
ried back to the days Of the civil war
times, at the concert given at the Odeor
Friday night by the City Federation
Of Women's clubs. The attempt to
give an "old fashioned concert by "old

success both financially and socially.
More than 800 will be the net pro-

be used by the federation for prizes to

wards who keep the neatest and most
attractive yards an6 gardens about

closing song, "Cofumbia, the Gem Of
the Ocean," in the singing OF which
the audience Joined, there were but few
songs sung that most Of the audience
could not have joined in the chorus,
so generally familiar were they. Songs
Of the revolution, of the civil war and
times of peace, before and after, which
have not been heard in public for years,
were resurrected and resung feelingly
and well.
Some few changes were made in the
original program, but as a whole it
was given as prepared. All of the
performers did we'll, altho some of
the numbers were especially cordially
received by the audience. The distinct

the Maccabee male quartet, composed
Of Messrs w. S. Reed, Edward Redel.

The quartet appeared three times and
responded to more than that many en-

lighted the audience with her rendition

j. Shepard, giving South Chicago as
his home, was arrested and locked up
by OFFICER Haas Friday night, while
apparently insane and while shouting
on South Third avenue,
.spooks, spooks," the man was yelling
when the officer got him. After being
taken to the Third avenue station he
complained Of acid having been thrown
on him, and that he was being fol-
lowed by those who wanted to kill him.
He partly undressed himself, because,
he said, his clothes, were soaked with
acid. Later in the night it was neces-
sary to lock him up in the steel cage,
because he complained that the steam
pipes were filled with acid and were
spraying him. This morning he was
still irrational, and he will be held
pending an investigation. In appear

The angry bondholders said that
the company had more than earned
the interest, but that since Oakleiyh
Thorne and Marsden J. Perry bought
the road from the Southern Railway
its financial policy had been changed.
1t is limited that failure to declare
the interest in full has grown out
of the failure by the bondholders to
accept a per cent bond to run fot
three years in lieu Of the interest in
full on all three classes of bonds.
One of the bankers present at tho
meeting, on behalf of himself and the
other dissatisfied security holders,
said:
"The earnings of the company for
the last fiscal year show that interest
on all three classes of income bonds
was fully earned, but within the last
month of the year, it appears, the
company charged off large amount
for improvements and betterments.
which we consider was excessive.
