Identify purchaser of a uniform of his

Recent rulings by the food de-
partment of the government will
necessitate many changes in names
Of confectionery products. Choco-
late creams, because they contain
no cream, will not be permitted to
carry that title. Jelly beans, will
have to secure new name, owing
to the absence Of Jelly. Banana
Marshmallows, milk caramels.
peaches and cream cardmels, and a
long line of other products are
placed under the ban for similar
reasons. An exchange suggests
that Dr.. Wiley shall carry his cam
paign to its logical conclusion, and
place the stamp of disaproval upon
candy KISSES" because the genu-
inc "smack" is absent; that the bis
cult companies be allowed to mark
ct no more "lady fingers" which
are simply the product of dough
and eggs, or animal" crackers,
because they are simple rank i'm
itation of the beasts which they
purport to represent.

A. $. Bean, Of New Plymouth,
did not do any squeezing during
the money panic and is probably
not therefore, responsible for fat
ening out the brokers and stock
gamblers; but he is an advocate Of
the squeezing process just the same,
as is shown by his invention for
annihilating the cooling moth

worm. The contrivance is made
Of two short blocks, Of pieces OF
wood, about four inches long, that
clamp together and are fastened
to tree by brads or small screws.
Between the pieces Of wood, space
enough is left so that the worms
and crowd in and hide. The adj
justment is made in the catcher"
SO that the pieces can be sprung to-
gether. Then every week or ten
DAYS, during the codling moth
breeding season, the fruit man goes
through the orcharh, hits the top
piece of the trap sharp blow and
the worm vanishes, or, more prop
erly speaking, fiattens out. This is
all there is to it, and Mr. Bean
says his invention does the bust
ness. He has secured a patentand
expects to sell territory for its use.

The following clipping from the
Emmett Index ind cates that the
Idaho Northern railway is showing
a new evidence Of progressiveness:
A new motor car will be put in
to commission on the Idaho North
ern in the spring II will be built
upon the latest improved lines and,
it is promised will be "thing Of
beauty and Joy for ever" to those
who patronize it.
Plans are now being drawn for
the new car. 1t will have seat
ing capacity Of 80 passengers and
will be a verilable palace on wheels.
L will be operated by electrical
power furnished from storage bat
teries and, in addition, will have a
gasoline engine, which may be
used in case Of accident to the
electric apparatus. Here's hoping.

SUMMONS FOR CoRTELYOu
Secretary Of the Treasury Cited to
Appear in Court.
He 10 Accused Of Having Allotted
Panama Bonds to Low Bid
ders Contrary to Law.

Washington, Dec. 10. - Justice
Gould of the district supreme court
Wednesday cited George B. Cortel-
you, secretary Of the treasury, to
appear in court January 3, to show
cause why he should not be enjoined
from turning over or delivering the
balance Of the S21 100000 Of the
Panama canal bonds to certain
banks and persons to whom he has
announced allotments, The citation
issued by Justice Gould Is based on
a petition filed by George W. Austin
Of New York, who describes himself
as a taxpayer and property owner in
the United States and who declares
he made a proposal to purchase
bonds of the advertised issue Of the
face value Of 100000. He AYERS
he had agreed to pay at the rate OF
103.375 and accrued interest per 500
and on notice Of the acceptance OF
his subscription stands ready to de-
post the amount with the assistant
treasurer at New York.
Mr.. Austin informs the court that
he has been advised through the pub
lie press that in direct violation Of
the statutes and in absolute disregard
OF the treasury department circular,
Of the $25,OO0,O0O of the bonds allot-
ted only $1,00O,080 were allotted to
natural persons, who were individual
bidders, and who, In accordance with
the statutes and said circular were
given equal opportunity to subscribe
therefor; the remaining $24,OOO,OOO
were allotted to divers national banks
and only $3,550,000 Of which were al
1otted to banks which had offered a
higher price than that bid by him.
In his petition Mr.. Austin also re-
fers to the bid Of one George A.
Roman, Of New York City, who had
complied with the terms Of the secre-
tary's circular in every particular but
whose bid was ignored 1t is stated
that Mr.. Roman offered bids for
81, 100000 at s1.03%, 100000 at
$1.0S1s, 100000 at $1.03% and 81
100000 at s1.O4, and that further
bid for 100000 was made by Mr..
Roman at a price Of S1.02s2k-
