All Candy Sold Is Good.

There is no candy on sale in the
state of Iowa or elsewhere that con-
tains ingredients that are injurious or
poisonous. If there is 500 of easy
money awaits the person who will
disclose the place where the candy
could be bought.
The state food and dairy department
has recently made Investigations
along the line of candy and the
sudden appearance OF Thanksgiving
and Christmas candy on the market
has caused the annual renewal Of the
question of the purity of candy.
Practically all the candy is colored
with coal tar products. Coal tar is
what is left of crude oil after the
kerosene is taken out. 1t is not
known to be injurious and in the
absence of any positive information
or proof that it is injurious scientists
will only claim that it is not known
to be injurious. 1t is probably not
beneficial, however. But aside from
coal tar coloring matter the candy
that is sold is pure but not all of it
is of the best quality.
Cheap candy is made of glucose and
good candy is made of sugar and
higher grade materials. That is the
only difference. Once in while
candy is found on the market that
has pale color. This is usually
colored with vegetable coloring mat
ter and it is disclosed by the investi-
cations OF the state food and dairy
commissioners Office that candy.
makers are now busy experimenting
with vegetable coloring matters in
the hopes of being able to discard the
coal tar coloring matter.

Gruhstake Gets a Blow.

San Francisco. Cal.-The United
States Circuit Court has rendered Il
decision that is of vital Importance to
all mining communities, and which
will have direct bearing in cases
pending in many states.
The court holds that a "grubstake"
agreement. that time-honored institu-
ton sacred to all mining men, is not
legally collectible.
The decision is made in a case
wherein "Swiftwater Bill Gates was
sued by Isaac l.. Marks of this city
to recover s15O.00O on an agreement
made by Marks and Gates in Seattle
on April 27, 1902.
The agreement was that in consider
alton of 81. 900 paid by Marks to Gates
the latter was to transfer twenty per
cent of all the property which should
be acquired either by location. pur-
chase or otherwise in Alaska by
Gates.
The evidence showed that Gates
out by Marks. and Gates was given
the sum of $1,000 in cash when the
agreement was made.
Gates went to Alaska and acquired
property valued at $750,000, out of
which Marks demanded $150,000 as
his share under the agreement.
A demurrer was entered on the
ground that the contract was so un-
Just and inequitable as not to entitle
the applicant to relief. The demurrer
was sustained and the case dismissed.
An appeal was then taken.
Judge Gilbert in his decision states
that 1.-THE written contract was bar
gain made in the dark. 1t bound Gates
during his lifetime to transfer to
Marks one.fffth interest in all property
of whatever description he might ac-
uuire in Alaska by whatever means,
whether by location, purchase. gift or
inheritance, the value of which neither
party could estimate even approxi-
mately.
Judge Gilbert quotes Justice Bradley
of Missouri in case of a somewhat
cimilar nature. where the court says:
"He comes into court with very
bad grace when he asks to use Its ex-
traordinary power to put him In pos
session Of $4,000 worth of stock for
which he only paid $50. The court is
not bound to shut it's eyes to the evil
dent character of the transaction. 1t
will never lend its aid to carry out an
uncomfortable bargain. but will leave
the party to his remedy at law"
