NATIONS TO CONFER ON FOOD.
United States Expected to Call Con-
ference on AduIteration.

Washington. 1t is believed at
the state department that the out
come of the present visit to Europe
of DR.. Wiley of the department of
agriculture will be the calling Of an
international gathering in this country
to endeavor to secure uniformity Of
practice in the treatment of food
adulterations. Although taking an ad'
vanced position in this matter, as re-
vealed in the stringent legislation con.
tanned in the pure-food law, the gov.
ernment of the United States has been
obliged at times to take sharp issue
with some of the European govern.
ment officials as to the harmfulneSs
of certain ingredients of our food ex.
ported. With the passage of the pure,
food act, with the authority contained
therein to apply its provisions to i'm.
ported food and drugs and wines, the
department finds its hands much
strengthened in dealing with Euro.
pean governments, and is felt that it
will not be a dAficult matter to in.
duce other nations to second the eff.
forts of the United States govern.
ment either by an international gath.
ering or by diplomatic correspondence
to reach an understanding upon a
general set of rules relative to the
use OF preservatives in food products.

1t is evident that there is no anti
American feeling in the royal family
OF Japan. A Japanese farmer has pur-
chased a collection of American cows
which will be taken to the orient to
furnish milk for the use of the sov-
ereign and his household. Moreover,
this enterprising Japanese agricultur-
ist, who, by the way, contracted to
supply milk to the military hospitals
at Toxic during the recent war and
not only did the work satisfactorily
but made handsome sum by the op-
Grafton, has borrowed another Ameri-
can idea and will go into the con.
'densed milk business. The plan has
proved practicable and profitable here,
and no doubt will work equally we'll in
Japan.

BAND OF THIRTY ANARCHISTS
ATTACK CARDINAL DEL VAL ANC
RECTOR KENNEDY.
cIerqymen Rescued BY Guards anc
Troops-The Anti-cIerieal Riots
Are Spreading in nNtaly.

Rene, Aug. 19.-The wave OF anti
clericalism is increasing in violence.
Nearly all the priests of the vatican
60 about the city fearing either insult
or assault. Cardinal Merry del Val,
with Monsignor Kennedy, rector oi
the American college, while passing
through Marino in carriage was furi.
ously assaulted by band of 80 an
archists. who were shouting: Down
with the vatican!" Long live the reVo
lution!" The anarchists were armed
with knives and clubs. They surround.
ed the carriage desipte the strong
guard of detectives and carbineers.
One anarchist swung club at the
cardinals head, but detective, quick
" interposing, received the blow on
his chest and was dangerously injured
The pope, when informed, sorrow
fully said: THE world will now see
how impossible it would be for me to
leave the vatican.
The outburst of anticlericalism has
oyerspread all Italy. 1t shows, de-
spite the improved relations between
the vatican and the quirinal. that there
is still a large section of the radical
populace which is eager at all times
to attack the church. The events OF
this summer have favored the anti
clericals, wherefore, after a long pc
riod of tranquility, during which the
church and the government have rem
dered one another reciprocal aid, the
mobs are now burning churches and
assaulting the prelates, Fortunately
parliament is not in session now, else
all unforeseen crisis might arise. For
Italy is peculiarly susceptible 10 sud
den ebulitions of public anger.
The unfortunate situation is still
further complicated at this time
by the issuance from the vatican Of
a communication which is destined to
arous serious controversy. 1t affirms
that either Catholics or non-Catholics
who have interpreted the general pol
icy of the pope toward the Italian gov
ernment as implying that he is in
accord with or has any confidence in
any cabinet or political party mis-
understand the pontiff's position. The
vatican, it is asserted, sees no need at
this time changing its policy toward
the government, whatever. attitude the
government may assume.
1t is reported that Pope Plus is
about to follow up his recent syllabus
on so-called modernism in the faith
with an encyclical condemning mod
ernist errors.

REPLY BY BONAPARTE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ASSERTS
HE INTENDS TO ENFORCE LAW.
AT THE START
Department of Justice Bound to Pun
ish Wealthy Men and Big Cor
porations That Are
Offenders.

Baltimore, Md. - Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte, in an interview
given the Washington correspondent
of the News, answers the criticisms of
Wall street by fiat statement that he
intends to continue the prosecution
of wealthy men and corporations that
break the laws.
The interview is really statement
carefully prepared by Mr.. Bonaparte
himself. In part he says:
Il cannot understand how any
sensible person could be affected in
any remarks which have been at
tributed to me. l should say that
business men ought to wish to have
the laws strictly and impartially en-
forced If this is done, everybody
knows what he can do and what he
can't, and everybody has fair field
and no favorites. The department of
justice proposes to do precisely this
and nothing more. 1t is required by
law to enforce certain penal statutes
which make certain forms of action
crimes against the United States, and
also provide civil remedies for such
illegal action.
Careful Inquiry First.
"The department, since have been
at it's head, has never taken proceed
ings to enforce the laws without a
very careful preliminary Investigation
to determine whether there was good
reason to believe that the laws had
been, in fact, violated. Moreover, it
has consistently and frequently over.
looked merely formal violations of
law, or offenses attended with trivial
consequences, and has invariably re-
fused to intervene in such cases when
there was any reason to suspect that
it's Intervention was desired to further
private ends.
Is After Big Law-Breakers.
"If the ground of complaint against
the department is that it proposes to
punish prominent and wealthy men OF
corporations having vast amounts OF
capital and engaged in very extensive
business, when these are shown tC
have been wilful and persistent law
breakers on a great scale and with
grave injury to the purposes of the
law, | must admit that these com
plants are we'll founded. That is pre-
cisely what the department of justice
is trying to do, and, while remain its
very unworthy head, will continue tC
do, so far as it can"

The American Tourist.

Every summer Americans overrun
Europe in numbers never equaled be-
fore" And every summer European
newspapers, especially the English,
discover that the American tourist Is
bad-mannered, that the father of the
family chews cigars, that the mother
is uneducated, and the daughter loud
voiced An American at home who
reads these accounts of his touring
countrymen wonders at first whether
the dignified gentleman who was to
leave his business and spend a sum-
mer in England did not go, after all.
What has become of that gentle
school teacher who had saved her
money for three years to make her
pilgrimage to Shakespeare's country
and SCOTS? Just where in that out
Tageous thronG of "Amurrican" tour
lists are our own best friends who
sailed In June? The last time we saw
them they did not chew gum, nor vio-
late the English language further than
to use the word guess" racily and
correctly, nor talk with indecent ia
miliarity to the employees of hotels.
Then it occurs to us, remarks Youths
Companion, that many American trav-
elers do not speak loud enough for
the natives to discover that their
speech is American. Our countrymen
abroad are visibly and audibly repre-
sented by the kind of person that we
dislike at home. In the same way
the conditions of New York society
are portrayed in European papers by
stories of political corruption and the
few eccentricities of the many mil
lionaires. Normal events do not make
sensational press dispatches. The
unusual is seen and chronicled. Ameri-
cans who do not enjoy the reports of
the impressions which their country
men make upon Europeans have only
to recall our own strange notion that
Frenchmen gesticufate like jumping
Jacks, and that Englishmen are humor-
less persons in loud-checlsGd suits.

GreenviIle Journal.
The Fetish CT Thoroushness.
&. c. Orwell. Id. and Pub.

A perfect housekeeper may not be-
q real homemaker. Her kitchen and
bedrooms may be spotless and her
dinners fit for an epicure; but If she
never has an hour for reading, or
leisure to play with her children or to
talk with her husband, she is failure
as wife and mother. Somewhere be-
tween perfection and slovenliness
there lies a golden mean. To reach
it a housewife must learn to turn on
work, and to distinguish between the
kind Of work which may be sighted
end the kind which must be done with
literal thoroughness. "An all-day
washing makes a halliday ironing!
used to be the motto of a wise wo-
man, who preferred clothes free from
CRIME and streak to carefully fluted
frills and starching that would stand
alone. There are houses where the
fetish of thoroughness demands a
daily sacrifice, just as there are other
houses where the dragon of laziness
and disorder devours both comfort
and affection. An old colored mann
my" for years the chief dependence
of a southern family, had genius for
getting work done. Nobody ever knew
exactly how or when her miracles
were wrought; but the house was
clean and the meals were toothsome,
and Aunt Car'line" was always happy
and leisurely, says Youths Compan-
ion. One day her mistress sent her
to put the guest chamber in order for
a distinguished visitor. She came
downstairs very soon, with the smil-
ing assurance, Dat room am plumb
clean, Miss Gertrude!" 80 quickly?"
inquired Miss Gertrude. did you
dust it, aunty? don't see your dust
eT" Law now, Miss Gertrude, don't
you bodder yoself bout Aunt Car
line. l done dust dat room wild a
paa mleaf FAM" There spoke a re-
sourceful housekeeper.

Used Ink for BIuing.

"One can never be too careful about.
apparently harmless articles setting
about the house." said housewife the
other day. mot long ago my husband
brought home one of those big tall bot
ties of ink from the Office. 1t had got
to be such a nuisance buying one of
the small five-cent bottles every time

FOOD
FACTS
Grape!-Nuts.

A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread. wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
Of GrapeNuts. hut not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
Of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a. form Of
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape Nuts.
A Mo. man says: 81 have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. ] can
truly recommend 1t to thin people,"
He had been eating meat. bread. etc..
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight Of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance Of
evidence to prove this. y
Grape-Nuts balances the body in
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape.
Nuts good and valuable. It's delicious
favor and powerful nourighlng prop
critics have made friends that In
turn have made, GFape,Nuts famous.
