President Roosevelt and William j.
Bryan were in conference for half an
hour in the presidents private Office

to meet the amount of loss by reason
of the failure. This assessment Mr.,
Bryan declared, would be infnitesimal.

There will be no tinkering with the
! tariff at the coming session of con-
gress, the schedules relating to wood
pulp will not be disarranged, and no
| other action looking to the reduction
of duty on important articles used in

w. H. Gould, Fairfield Comm gro
Ger, has invented and patented a food
for milk cows which, he asserts, makes
them give pure cream. The agitation
of the cream while the cows are being
! driven home followed by the opera
ton of milking, turns the cream into
butter. So after the milking 1t is nee
essary only to pour off the buttermilk
and salt down the butter. Mr.. Gould
thinks that if he adds little pepsin to
his cow food the cows will yield cream
cheese.
