A PURE FOOD GOLD BRICK.

Canned fruits valued at $1,40O were
seized by the government at Kansas
City the other day, which, although
shipped from Arkansas, bore Michigan
labels on the can. There were 100
cases of canned apples and ITO cases
of canned blackberries in the lot. The
fruit will be sold and the proceeds
turned into the public treasury.
Michigan fruits command high
price, considerably higher price than
the Arkansas fruits. Consequently It
has been found quite profitable by
southern shippers to use Michigan lab
els on their goods. 1t has also been
found profitable by provision buyers
TO purchase large lots Of Kansas pota-
toes and put them on the market as
Greeleys, and to ship a car load OF
canteloupes from most any part Of the
country and sell them as Rocky Fords.
The government should keep up it's
effort to prevent these frauds. There
Is no defense of them. The people
that want Michigan fruits Greeley 20
tatces or Rocky Ford canteloupes are
entitled to them wnen they pay the
price, whether or not the potatoes,
canteloupes and fruits raised in other
sections are as good in quality as the
Michigan or Colorado products.
This is just an agricultural gold
brick, and the offenders deserve no
better treatment than is meted out to
other classes of bunco steerers.

duced In the ball rooms.
DR.. Bass, however, anticipated an
objection from the Rev. Mr.. Hopkins
to mention of the Salome incident, SO
he fastened to add:
'Dr. Hopkins will say that is the
ballet, and worse than other dances.
This cannot be so, for the ballet is
generally danced alone or with girls
by themselves, while the society dance
which DIR. Hopkins commends derives
all interest from the commingling Of
the sexes.
And here 1t is necessary to point
out where the worthy gentleman Of
the cloth has fallen into another error
through his lack of knowledge of
worldly things. The ballet may be
danced alone or with girls by Them
selves but the Cairo minister, if he
ever witnessed such performance
must have been too dazzled by the foot
lights to see the interested audience
in the bald-headed rows avidiously
following the contortions of the light
footed devotees of this interesting
dance.
And then Dr. Bass turns from
Salome and the ballet dancers to de-
scribe what he believes to be the
worst dance of all. He says:
81 have seen some people in the
round dance out of whose eyes the
light of virtue had faded and which
| actually glowed with the baleful CLEAN
of consuming depravity, and every
| lineament Of purity had lost its trace
in the vile countenarrce which, even
as it smiled, wiggled with the contor-
lions of turpitude. 1t Is impossible to
tell how low down the scale of beast.

CONCERNING THE DANCE.

Far be it from an, humble layman to
attempt to take issue with one of the
cloth when matters spiritual are in
question: but certainly there can be
no harm in pointing out an occasional
error when enthusiasm prompts an
eloquent speaker to delve into dis
cussfon Of worldly things, the knowl-
edge of wnich he has gained from
afar. And then, too, it is sometimes
an act of charity to point out where
error is made, that the one who errs
may take note and avoid erring in the
same manner the second time.
Looking at the matter in this light
it is nothing short of stern duty that
prompts the layman to point out to
the Rev. Mr.. Bass of Cairo, ILL.,, that
ne has been woefully misinformed on
the subject Of dancing. DR.. Bass in
condemning the Rev. Frederick Hop
lIins Of Chicago, who sees no harm in
the dance, points out the Salome of
the Bible as horrible example. He
says:
Had Salome never danced John
the Baptist would not have lost his
head. 1t must be confessed that there
was nothing which could be so well
calculated to win upon the heart of
the drunken libertine Herod as the
dance Of a beautiful damsel.
That is the dance. That is the
thing that has destroyed more piety,
ruined more girls, disturbed more
churches, broken the peace of more
families, caused more tragic deaths
than anything, perhaps, with which
woman has ever been tempted
II the that mentioned so EN-
phatically by the Cairo minister refers
TO Salome's performance before Herod
that is not the dance to which the
Rev. Mr.. Hopkins gives his approval.
True, Salome's dance, with twentieth
century variations, is still danced to.
