Here is the iron bound contract
designed to keep the lovers out of

PURE FOOD INSPECTOR
SUBMITS HIS REPORT
Conditions AS Found in the
State in July.
SOME FEATURES VERY BAD.

The report of II. Z. Barnard. state
pure food and drug commissioner, for
the month of July, says in part:
During the month of July the food
inspectors devoted much of their time
TO the sanitary examination of food
producing and distributing plants in
the cities of Fl Wayne, Terre Haute,
Columbus and Indianapolis. One hun
dred and fifty-four grocers were in
spected eight of which were in excel
lent condition, fifty-two good, seventy
eight fair and fourteen poor, while two
were bad 4deat markets inspected were
in somewhat better condition than the
groceries. lightweight were examin-
ed, five were in excellent condition,
forty-two good, twenty fair, fourteen
poor and seven bad.
Bakeries and candy shops must be
ranked with the slaughter houses as
dirty and unsanitary places in spite of
the fact that there seems to be no good
reason for dirty bake shops and there
are many excuses for filthy slaughter
houses. OF sixty-two bakery and con-
fectionery plants examined but seven
were in excellent condition; twenty
three were reported as good; twenty
four were fair seven were poor and one
was bad Fifty-four hotels and restau-
rants were visited none of which are
reported as being in excellent shape.
Twelve were classed as good and TWEEN
ty-six as fair while sixteen were in poor
condition. Forty-two dairies were Wis
tied three of which were excellently
kept, six were in good shape, fifteen
fair, five poor and thirteen unqali-
fiedly bad"

They Tell the Present Con-
gresham That He Should
Remain in Congress.
ANSWER is NOT YET MADE.
MR.. WATSON WAS GIVEN ASSUR-
ANCES OF EARNEST SUPPORT
AND IT is BELIEVED HE WILL
HEED REQUEST.

Indianapolis, Sept. 12.-At meeting
of representative republicans of the
Sixth district at the Claypool hotel yes
terday Congressman James E. Watson
was urged to abandon the idea of run
ming for the governorship nomination
and to stick to his first love-the Sixth
district.
The arguments in favor of his re
naming in congress were put in such d
forceful and convincing manner as to
impress the congressman. who said
that he would give due consideration tc
them and would announce his final de
cision as to his future course in politics
within a short time.
Among the Sixth district leaders who
met Mr.. Watson at the hotel were
Owen l.. Carr of Rushville, district
chairman; Ed Haas, ex-clerk of Wayne
county and a prominent politician in
that republican stronghold; Rudolph
Leeds, publisher of the Richmond Pal
ladium; Charles Christopher. republi
can chairman of Henry county; w. f.
Blakely of Shelbyville and Charles
Hernly of New Castle. All of these
men lunched with Mr. Watson. State
Chairman Goodrich dropped in" at the
noon hour and had luncheon with the
crowd Col George B. Lockwood, sec
rotary of the state committee, was an
other guest at the luncheon.
Before and after the meal there were
conferences in one of the upstairs
rooms of the hosiery. Ex-state
Chairman Hernly did not attend the
conferences. but made it plain in vari-
Gus ways that whatever antipathy he
may have manifested toward the con-
gresham in the past has been wiped
off the slate. From the other Sixth
district men Mr.. Watson learned that
they had come to Indianapolis express
ly to urge him to stay in congress, hav-
ing heard that he was about to make
up his mind as to his political plans
Mr.. Leeds, who publishes the party pa
per at Richmond, and Mr.. Haas, gave
him earnest assurances of support in
Wayne county.
After the conferences Mr.. Christie
pher said I'll bet he will decide to run
for congress-
District Chairman Carr also is quite
confident that he will turn a deaf ear
to the buzzing of the gubernatorial
bee. Mr.. Watson himself had nothing
to say, beyond the promise that his po-
sition will be known soon.

fiiNOOOS AT TABLE.
The higher Their Caste the More
Hrksoss,c Become the Rules.

I'm India" writes Sidney Low, "reli-
gion. with what seems mallGn inge-
nuity, has occupied itself in heaping
complications round the two essential
functions OF eating and marrying. The
Hindoo cannot tske his food without
elaborate precautions against pollution.
and the higher his caste Is the more
burdensome these rules are. There are
some inferior castles in the south who
are not supposed to approach even
within speaking distance of the elect.
4 regular table has been drawn up OF
what may be called the degrees Of pol
luton, so that, while some of these low
persons can pollute man OF a higher
caste only by actually touching him.
it is held that blacksmiths, masons,
carpenters and leather workers can
pollute at distance OF twenty-four
feet, toddy drawers at thirty-six feet
and cultivators at forty-eight feet,
while the pariahs, who eat beef, have
a pollution range of no less than twen-
ty-one yards and twelve inches.

a COAT or ARMS.
How One May BE Acquired For n
Consideration In England.


Consideration In England.
The practice of granting arms is still
In vogue in England, Ireland, Scotland,
Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy. Ger
many, etc., and at times the pope, as
sovereign pontiff, exercises the power.
Indeed, it is by patent or grant alone
that new family can legitimately ac-
quire coat OF arms.
The modus operandi in England, for
example, is as follows: The applicant
for a patent of arms from the CROWN
may employ any member he pleases of
the heralds' college and through him
present memorial to the earl marshal
of England, who acts for the crown III
these matters, setting forth that he,
the memorialist, is not entitled to arms
or cannot prove his right to such and
praying that his grace the earl marshal
will issue his warrant to the kings OF
arms, authorizing them to grant and
confirm to him due and proper armo-
rial ensigns. to be borne according to
the laws of heraldry by him and his
descendants. This memorial is pre-
scented and warrant is issued by the
earl marshal, under which patent OF
arms is made out, exhibiting paint
ing of the armorial ensigns granted
the royal arms of England, the arms OF
the earl marshal and those of the col
lege and describing in official terms the
proceedings that have taken place and
a correct blazon of the arms. This pat
ent is registered in the books Of the
heralds' college and receives the sigma
lures OF the garter and one or both OF
the provincial kings of arms.
A grant or patent of arms is made tc
a man and his male descendants. This
gives him a fee simple of them-that is
to say, to him and to his male descend
ants equally and altogether and to his
female descendants in a qualified man
ner-i. e., for life. to bear the arms In
a lozenge or impaled with their hus
bands arms Of the husbands have
arms, as arms can only be brought IL
by arms, or, if they be heiresses or co
heiresses, on an escutcheon of pretense
upon their husbands shields, and in
the last case their descendants inherit

ADAMS FIRST WIFE.
The Fiendlike LiIith Was a Complete
Matrimonial Failure.

Matrimonial Failure.
Whether Lilith was one of the fe-
male creations of chapter 1 or demon
or something between the two, she
was, considered matrimonially, COM
pfete failure. She was expelled after
living with Adam for $50 years and
subsequently became the wife of Sa-
tan, by whom she was the mother Of
the Jinns, so familiar in Persian fairy
lore.
The emphatic remark of Adam when
he first saw Eve, This is now bone of
my bones and flesh of my flesh"
makes, it is suggested, a comparison
between Eve and the beautiful but
fiendlike Lilith not complimentary to
the latter. while the reference on the
birth of Seth to him as Adams son
''in his own likeness, after his image"
conveys a painful hint of the uncanny
offspring born to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith-

sworn foe of little children, whom she
was wont to strangle with one Of her
glorious golden hairs unless the watch
fulness Of their mothers drove her
away. 1t has indeed been gravely sug-
gested by an etymologist greatly dar-
ing that our word lullaby is simply
a corruption of LILA, abr U4ilith,
