ANTI LAW.
Extension Favored by tennessee
Senate.
Bill Passed BY Vote of twenty
Five to Five.

At Nashville, Tenn, by vote
of 25 to 5 the Senate put itself on
record as favoring the extension of
the Adams anti-saloon law to ev-
cry city in the State which chooses
to abolishes its present charter and
re-charter without saloons. The
result was not accomplished with
out fight. The bill had been in
the hands of the Committee for
ten days and under the rules
could be called out of committee
after five days. The temperance
leaders claimed that an effort was
being made to hold the bill up in
committee. The Chairman Pen
dleton notified Chairman Ed
gington that he intended to call
the bill, but Edgington asked him
him not to do so, saying he would
convene the committee. After
voting down of an amendment by
Senator Cox provididing for sub
hitting the saloon issue to popular
vote in each of the cities affected
and several other minor amend
menus. the committee adjourned
An effort was made in committee
to postpone action.
Soon after the senate convened
an effort to refer the bill to an
other committee failed, and the
bill was put on it passage.

House, which is almost sure to

for the repeal of the present

more actively than ever, for if a

after the passage of the Pendleton
bill Memphis will come under the
operations of the latter law and be

WILL NOT DOWN.
Political World Still SpeCulates
on Brownsville Affair.

n. Y. dispatch to Cincinnati Inquirer.
The political world continues
to discuss the Brownsville affair.
Interest in it will not down and
that the action of President Roose-
welt will be a great factor in the
next Presidential campaign goes
without saying. Political leaders
are considering whether Mr..
Roosevelt by his stand in the mat
ter has succeeded. in breaking the
Solid South, without making
great inroads upon the strength of
his party in the North. Also,
whether by any possibility, the
erratic nature of the President
may give rise to some other Incl
dent which will overshadow the
Brownsville affair in importance.
There are Republican leaders here
who proceed upon the theory that
the President is full of sensational
precedents and therefore to con
duct the administration from now
until 1908 without any is impossi-
BILE so far as he is concerned.
Democratic leaders here are
giving much consideration to the
political effects of the Brownsville
affair.

EXPERT TESTIMONY
About MIX, Eggs, Meats and
OySterS---SOme DeteriOrate
Some Improve.

Ut. harvey w. w Hey, Govern
ment pure food expert, gave much
interesting testimony concerning
the deterioration of food-stuffs in
cold storage before the House
Committee on Agriculture.
He gave results he has attained
by experiments with all sorts of
food-stutfs. Milk begins to de-
Iterlorate right away and so does
cream. Eggs begin Immediately.
Fruits is improved and sometimes
continues to improve for three
months. Meat improves up to
about six or eight weeks. but after
three months for meat YOU can see
that it has reached the maximum
and then it begins to 90 down. |
do not care how hard it is frozen.
We find that meats do not taste
as well and they do not smell as
well, and every time the jury can
pick that which has been kept
over three months. Take our
quail. We have quail Il year old
and we have II fresh quail cooked
at the same time. Every time the
jury can pick them out blind
folded.
DIR. Wiley stated that he is II
thorough believer in cold storage.
and believes that most foods i'm
prove when properly kept for IA
short time. but he said that the
object of his experiments is to tell
the public and particularly the
cold storage people, how long they
may safely keep the articles of
food in storage. He has been UNI
able to determine whether drawn
or undrawn poultry keep the bet
ter.
He said that the oysters opened
and shipped in buckets should be
prevented from entering interstate
commerce, rs they are dead.
IAN oyster is dead an hour after
it is opened" said DR.. Wiley,
land is not good. 1t loses its
| flavor"
In response to inquiries rs to
the advisability of freezing oysters
to preserve them for shipment,
Dir. Wiley said: "Oh, they ough;
not be frozen. That ruins them,
and rs soon rs they thaw they
are dangerous"
He urged that oysters should be
shipped alive and in the shell, and
said that the greatest outrage of
the oyster trade is to soak oysters
with fresh water and swell them
up, making them look fat. He
said oysters sent out in tin cans
are all right, but in further denun-
citation of bulk oysters shipped in
tubs and buckets he said: They
are either preserved with some
