Public For Sale.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.--A schweitzer cheese by any other name may taste as good-mit mustard-but woe hence forth unto the man who gives it the other name when the purchaser essays to purchase; likewise all through the several strata of delicatessendom and into the realms of all things eatable and drinkable. everything must be called by its right name. The pure food law is responsible, for 1t went into full force and effect just as little 1907 trotted into the arena of the years.
 What change will be wrought in the next few days in the stores and thirst alleyiating hospices. Scotch whisky, that used to read on its label, "rare old stuff from the days of Wal lace and Bruce will now be set be- fore the bibulous with legend some thing like this:
 Denatured alcohol, one pint
 Smoked wood and charcoal, one bunch.
 Stewed prunes. one-fourth pound.
 Peach juice, one gill.
 Water, quantity sufficient.
 All this will be topped off with legend something like this: Almost whisky-that's about all."
 All through the list of other fire waters spade will be called spade and beer will be heer only when 'tis rightly brewed and certified.
 Then in both food and drink the dates will be necessary. The vintage of December, 1906, cannot be set down as guaranteed twenty years old" Neither can shoulder of swine be vend- ed as ham-save at the butchers risk. Breakfast foods with sawdust as a base will have to be so described. A sample label for these may read:
 "The Famous Uggle Google Health Food, made at Combat River, H., con- tains the following ingredients: Excel sior, five parts; curled hair, one part; four one-eighth part; selected mud (very choice), two parts; sugar Ca wee bit); steel filings, quantity sufficient" The drug men are affected likewise, and with each glass of pineapple or raspberry soda will be handed out a card telling just how much cochineal there is in one and just how much chemical combination there is in the other. Why anybody wants to know this has not been explained, but the laws the law for a that.

WHAT SENATOR NIXON SAYS

In my opinion the situation is
not at all serious. Everybody under.
stands that no bank carries every
dollar of its deposits in it's vaults
because in that case they would not
be able to serve the public in the
way Of loans
The security each depositor has
in the bank, with which he is doing
business. in addition to its capitaliza-
ton. is the general standing and
character of its officers.
I'm Reno all the banks are institu.
lions OF large capital and are officer
ed by men of conservative business
habits, long years Of banking exper-
ience and large property interests
in discussing the matter today
With representative officers of the
several banks Of Reno all Of them
stated that in addition to their CAPT
tai their private fortunes stood be-
hind the banks in which they were
interested.
This being the case .here i no
reason whatever for any person to
have fear over the safety of their
funds now held by the banks of Reno.
This condition comes from a clear
sky and there has been no intimation
OF its coming unless it may be that
| there is little more conservatism
in the country now than before The
