The cause Of pure Food.

Norfolk club women yesterday af-
ternoon were told how to spot adul.
terated goods, They were also told
what the state food commission has
done during the past year in the in
terest of pure food and correct meas
ures, And they were urged to use
their Influence In favor OF a further
extension and perfection of the law.
Mrs. Harriet McMurpny, state
food inspector, delivered a pure food
talk under the auspices of the house
hold economic department of the Wo-
mans club in the parlors of the First
Congregational church The meeting
was well attended.
The work accomplished by the Com
mission during the past year and a half
,lrmed the basis of Mrs. McMurphy's
talk She told of the steps which had
been taken against short weights and
false labels, of the inspection OF dairy
products, OF cream and milk, of meat
markets. OF bakeries and grocery
stores It was quite necessary, she
said. that care be taken to Impress
on the legislature the necessity of i'm
proving the present laws and to see
that no ground is lost, She thought
IL natural that the efforts of women
should be exerted to better the pure
food law because they were vitally in:
terested in the law, as upon women
falls in large part the task of select
ing the family food.
Mrs McMurphy has been in Norfolk
on several previous occasions and has
addressed the Woman's club of the
city before. She remained in Nor
folk until today, going to Harrington
to deliver a talk there. Next week
Mrs. McMurphy Is one of the speak
ers at the corn show in Omaha, ap-
pearing on the program on stock
day" under the auspices OF the
South Omaha exchange She will be
the only woman who will speak ap-
pearing on the program with Gov
ernor-elect ShaGlenberger, Senator
Manderson and others.
In her address at the corn show
Mrs. McMurphy will speak for home
economies, taking up the point Of
view of a stock woman" who is as
much interested in the improvements
of the present day as men are. Just
as men have learned the value of the
balanced food ration for livestock, she
will urge on women the duty of
studying the subject of food as con
nected with the feeding of the family.

Newman Grove, Neb., Dec. 14.--The

of the Congregational church proved
a great financial success. The will
ing workers" is an organization of
little girls from two to twelve years
of age. They had been making fancy
and useful articles for some time and
disposed of them at the bazaar. Sew
eral weeks prior to the bazaar, they
sent out cards soliciting a handker-
chief from each one to whom the card
was sent. One little tot, whose father
is an ardent Republican, decided to
try her luck with the wives of some
of the leading politicians of the state
and nation. She sent five, three to
Republicans and two to Democratic
parties. 1t so happened that the only
two that responded were the Demo-
cratic ladies. The beautiful handker-
chief contributed by Mrs. Bryan
brought the highest price of any that
was sold. The bazaar netted the lit
tie folks about 500 which will be ex-
pended for windows for the church.

Norfolk viii Wear Diamonds.

Norfolk people are buying dia-
monds. That sounds good. Diamonds
are a good evidence of prosperity.
The diamond sales in Norfolk dur
ing. the month of December will
amount up to several thousand dol
lars. Up to this time the diamond
sales in one Norfolk jewelry store
have been just twice what they were
during the same period last year,
And another store has found its
heaviest diamond sale in fifteen years.
The diamond limit in Norfolk has
been about 1875. Few stones sell
above $3.50, and the bulk of the sales
come between $75 and $3.50. Some
stones are bought as low as $15 and
SIS.
The sale of diamonds in this city
throughout the year has shown a
regular increase of the diamond busi-
ness of 1907. And surprising num-
ber of stones are going over the coun-
ters this Christmas.
1t hasn't been the work of Cupid al
together though a number of Norfolk
girls are wearing diamonds on GER
tain finger. Diamonds have so far
represented a safe and even profitable
investment. Most of the diamonds
bought in Norfolk so as presents to
immediate relatives or are bought
for private wear. And 1t would be
surprising, local jewelers. say, to
know the number of Norfolk women
who are saving money to buy dia-
mnnds for themselves
