1t remained for Representative A.

on the bill in the house. He made
his way down to the forum under
Speaker Cannon's desk and held
aloft druggists graduate filled
with white pure neutral spirits. Plac-
ing 1T on desk, he took from his
pocket some Walls Of Essences of

or coloring matter. With the skill
or Hermann, or Kellar, he con-
verified the neutral spirits into four

act.
The advocate. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1901-1913, 1907-05-09

President Roosevelt, in indorsIng
Attorney General Bonaparte's con-
struction Of the pure-food law, says
that straight Whiskey, distilled as
whiskey,( and OF one age, should be
labeled whiskey, that mixtures OF
| two or more straight Whiskies of
different ages should be labeled as
blend" that neutral spirits mixed
with Whiskey, when there is enough
real Whiskey to make difference in
the nature Of the mixture. should be
| labeled as compound" and, final
ly, that imitation whiskey should be
labeled as such. This means that
neutral spirits cannot now" be sold
as whiskey unless 1t Is plainly la
beled compound or, an "Imital
ton A blend" must not contain
neutral spirits. The same ruling ap-
piled to rum, gin, brandy and other
! liquors, as we'll as to whiskey.

conceived the idea Of fractional dis

that perfected the process, and the
real father of the neutral spirit
trade was Aneas Coffee, Of Dublin.
English, German and American tai
ent has long since opened the flood
gates for this liquid. In reporting
upon Its character, congressional
committee said fourteen years ago:
Neutral or cologne spirits possess

basis, bourbon and rye WHISTLES,
cognac brandy, Jamaica rum, gin,
cordials, ETC., are produced from the
same tank by the use OF oils, es.

THE THREE RS ARE CALLED
TO STUDENTS MIND AGAIN

Whether or not the High school class
presently TO be given its diplomas in
token of having acquired all the knowl-
edge it can acquire in the section of
Ctah's school system below the collie
gate division knows the three RS is a
question which puzzles the faculty and
vexes the students. The proposition is
this: Do the students who are about TIC
graduate pass muster in readin' 'ritin'
and rithmetic? Is they competent in
parsin, analyses. figgers of speech?
Four years ago the young ladies and
the young gentlemen who are about to be
sent forth as navigators fully equipped
to sail the seas of life learned how to
spell phthisis and other words of like
simplicity of alphabetical construction.
Eaeh year there have been tests re-
specting the tenacity of memory of the
students who are, il may be said four
years old It is the testimony of the
officials Of the scholastic only one of
many, many. who were asked questions
with reference TO the matter-that the
percentage or per eentum. as one wills is
higher at this time than it has ever been
since the system of tests was introduced
That was in 1876.

One of the officials of the school sys-

they. mayhap, had forgotten

may remember or that they NAV forget ~
We'll. We have test each year that
shows us that the students of our schools
are far above the average in the funda-

What are the fundamental studies, ac-
cording to your view?"
They are spelling-spellng. principally
reading. writing and arithmetic, with
grammar, too
DO you believe that the students of the
high schools of today spell as well as
in the days when Swinton's was the
guide book and the spellin' bee was n
factor in education as well as a means of
social communion
Il certainly believe that the school pu-
pills today spell better than they ever
did"
The same is true Of the other studies
referred to. said the school official
The announcement of school board
members and school faculty is that the

PROPOSED REUNION
OF THIRD TERRIERS

Washington, May 14-An interesting fea-
ture of the next Republican national con-
vention will be a reunion Of the delegates
to the national convention in Chicago in
1880. who for thirty-six ballots supported
General L. S. Grant for the presidency for
a third term.
The call for the reunion has been issued
by Colonel A NJ. Hughes of Columbia,
Tenn, the only surviving member of the
Tennessee delegation to the eighteenth
convention. Colonel Hughes estimates
that there are between sixty and eighty
of the Immortal 3O6 Grant delegates liv-
ing, and he hopes. if possible, to have all
the survivors at the reunion.
