How Can Pure Food Law Cause
Any Advance in Old Prices

1t is difficult to figure out just what
line Of reasoning some newspapers
have adopted when they reach the
conclusion that prices of nearly all
manufactured foods will be advanced
during the coming year on account of
the enforcement of the national pure
food law. Yet considerable publicity
has been given to this as more than
probability. and some writer's even
so so far as to represent food manu-
facturers as claiming that on account
of the enforcement of the law the cost
OF inspection and marketing will have
to be added to the cost of production,
says Food Law Bulletin
We cannot believe that such infor-
nation emanated from any we'll in
formed or authorized source as il is
not justified by anything more tangi-
Bile than speculation over the proba-
bility that the majority of food manu-
facturers had been depending upon
aGulteration as an ally in competition
for business.
The only logical argument in favor
OF advancing prices on foodstuffs on
account of the enforcement of the ma
tional law would be found in the re-
Striction of the use of certain preser-
NATIVES, the employment of which has
long been established as effective and
necessary in the preservation of foods
for indefinite shipment. This. how
ever, appears to have escaped the no.
tice of those newspapers that have
been insisting that higher prices for
food must prevail and that hardships
must come to the poor man with a
larger family. This is the class of
papers that have been printing criti-
c'sns about the food manufacturing in
Custry and giving space to sensational
articles during the last year designed

against the use OF boric acid. salicvlfc

in the heart of the city, yet the slayer
has disappeared. Mrs. Donovan, the
young wife of Fire Lieutenant Dono-
van, was going home after making Il
purchase, and for company she had
with her three children, the oldest only
nine.
She was in the bright rays of an arc
light when the foOtpad stepped from the
shadow. Mrs. Donovan screamed once
only. Before the cry could be repeated
the man struck fearful blow that sent
his victim to the pavement. Snatching
her purse, and even spilling the coins in
his hurry, the murderer fled, pursued
by negro who ran upOnhearing the
cries of the little ones. The slayer

acid, benZoate of soda and other harm
less personalities that insure whole
some food in great variety at reason
able prices. 1t was the employment
of these that afforded protection
against the fluctuation of prices and at
times scarcity. And it will be the pro-
hibition of the use of these preserva-
tives, if anything. that will cause
prices to advance on certain lines of
foods consumed by the family of mod
crate means.
Change in Methods.
Should the regulations as they now
stand. regarding the use of the obey
named personalities. be enforced, the
result will be a change in methods of
marketing some prepared foods. which
will include a change in the form of
package in some instances. as well as
the label. Since their keeping quail
ties cannot be insured by the addition
of the preservative. manufacturers will
be compelled to use smaller contain
erS. Where consumers have been in
the habit of buying. for instance a
| large bottle of catsup, sufficient for
many meals. they Will be supplied only
with sufficient quantity for two or
three meals. for the reason that the
catsup remaining in the bottle after
being opened would be likely to spoil
without the usual preventative. This
would also be the case with other con-
diments people have been accustomed
to buy in quantities.
In the case Of Goldfish. prepared
meats and some lines of sausages the
enforcement of the regulations pro-
hlbiting the use of preservatives will
also bring about a change. as has al
ready been witnesses in the several
states enforcing provisions against
certain personalities.

NO TAX ON ICE WAGONS
Oil Men Must Pay S25 for Each One.
However.

Delivery wagons of ice companies will
not be taxed at the rate of SIS apiece
instead they will escape taxation under
the revised license ordinance recon-
mended last evening to the council by
the committee on license. The commit
tee decided that the ice companies paid
taxes and that they fully met the pro-
portion of the burden of the expense
in governing the city that they should
meet without a special tax. Wagons en-
gagged in the delivery of coal oil, gaso-
line or crude oil, will be assessed a tax
OF $50 for each wagon; no license to be
taken out for shorter length Of time
than one year.
Slot machine arcades will be taxed $40
a year with no license issued for less
than one year. Public halls used as
skating Kinks will be taxed $50 a year
with no license issued for less than one
year. The revised license ordinance
will bring into the city in increased
revenue $3.50 annually.
The occupation tax which had been
talked of in the committee was post
poned indefinitely. The committee de-
cided that it was too large a question
to meet.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is
produced in the human body, and it Is
the duty of the kidneys to collect this
poison from the blood, and to pass II
safely out Of the system, together with
all waste water.
1t Is the presence in the body OF an
excess of uric acid that causes so much
pain and suffering, and so many of
the aches that are commonly attribur-
ed to rheumatism.
The kidneys are bean-shaped Or
gans. composed of masses of little
tubes, all of which pour their secre-
tons into a main channel that leads
to the bladder. In this way the kid
neys pass of more than an ounce of
poison every day when in health.
But 1t does not take much to set
the kidneys back, and when they get
behind, they can not right themselves
without help. The uric acid begins to
clog the kidneys. causing that dull,
heavy aching in the back, and sharp
twinges when STOPPING lifting It
crystallizes in the muscles and joints,
and every turn or twist brings keenest

Rfvesalle's downfall, it is alleged,

that he spent most of his time for five

EASY FOR VAN MOLTKE.
But He Is Adjudged to Pay Costs of His
Libel Suit.

Berlin, Oct. 29.-Maximilian Har-
den, editor of Die Zukunft, was ac-
quilted today in the suit brought
| against him by General Count Kuno
Won Moltke, formerly military COVER
nor of Berlin, for defamation of char
acter. In addition General Moltke was
condemned to bear the costs of the
trial.
| The trial, which began October %,
| attracted the greatest interest through
| out Germany. Counsel for Harden
| charged that the court clique OF which
Won Moltke was a member was guilty
| of Infamous practices and also had
| sought to exercise undue influence over
Emperor William. The name of Prince
Phillip x. Zu Eulenburg, eX-German
am bassador to Vienna, and Lieutenant
General William Won Hohenau, one of
| the emperor's adjutants, were men
toned by Harden as being members of
the clique, referred to as the round
table," and an army officer who had
served in the guard corps at Potsdam
testified to having taken part in orgies
at the house of Major Count Lynar,
which had resulted in the dismissal
from the service in disgrace of the
count and Lieutenant General Won
Hohenau.
Won Moltke denied that such clique
as the round table, could exist and
also denied the other charges brought
against him. Harden declined to with
draw anything he had written on the
subject, but said he did not accuse Won
Justice Kern, the presiding Judge, to-
day made the verdict as easy for Won
MoItke as was consistent with the con-
illusions arrived at. He said Harden
was justified in what he had written but
there was no evidence that Won Moltke
had at any time acted upon abnormal
inclinations or that he knew what took
place at Major Count Lynar's villa or of
Lieutenant General Hohenau's be-
haViOr.
Harden, when the verdict was an
nounced, was cheered by the spectators
present in court and by the long crowd
of people waiting in the rain outside
Won Moltlxe heard the verdict with I'M
passiveneSS.
The trial is already having consider
able political effect. One hundred and
forty socialist daily newspapers are at
lacking the mOnarchial principle with
studied fury, mccking, sneering savage
" and assailing the exotic conditions
which have been described as flourish |
ing in the hot house atmosphere of the |
court" where the sovereign is sur
rounded, the socialists claim with COM |
panions and councillors, the corruption |
of whose private lives taints their judg- |
ment on home and foreign questions.
The newspapers, regardless of party |
affiliations, printed full accounts Of tho |
and some of the influential |
liberal papers, like the Frankfurter |
Zeitung affirm that it is evident that |
in the Moroccan controversy with |
France and Germany followed two pol |
icies that of the foreign office and that |
of the sovereign. the latter being at
tributed to Prince Fulenburgs influence
working independently of his majesty's
advisors.
