Oh, q womans meetingi Talk-fest

siped, got mixed up on parliamentary
rules OF course, all talked at once
what did they do anyhow" The aver
age woman has heard remarks like
these from masculine relatives upon
her return home from a meeting, and
having a guilty conscience has received
them with meekness and a weakening
OF her suffrage convictions. She had
told Sallie S. about her new hat dur
ing the treasurer's report. the meet
ing had begun half an hour late, and
there was a mix-up as to whether they
were voting for vice. president or re-
cording secretary. and holding her bal
lot in uncertainty, her vote never had
gotten in.
But a certain woman was moved by
curiosity to visit a mans meeting
Upon comparison OF the two. and they

THE REAL FOOD ISSUE.

The Remsen board, chaperOned by
the aged Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture, went to the Denver con-
vention to advocate the use Of benzo-
ate Of soda in articles of food. They
did win by a vote Of 81 to AZ in favor
of their contention. And now the next
step is about to be sprung on the in
nocent consumer, namely, the omis-
sion from labels of food packages OF
any mention of the drug, especially
of the amount of it contained therein.
If thye win in the matter of benzoate
other drugs will demand similar
treatment, and old conditions OF
drugged and poisoned food articles
will have been re-established.
Those Gamers who use fresh, clean
materials use no benzoate or Other
drugs. The good housewife uses none
when she cans the products that come
to her hand. Why, then, should the
Gamers who have pull" be permitted
to use these drugs without letting thu
public know what they are doing?
The benzoate issue really goes yer.
deep. 1t is an attack ON the yer,
centre of the pure food law. and if tn
Remsenites do succeed in opening tn
door to a secret and shy use of ben
zoate, the people who desire pur
foods stand defeated and the Gamer
are triumphant. 1t would be but an
other case of victory Of special in
terests, and the new tariff is full c
such victories.
The matter should be taken up b
the people, for the Gamers are al
ready asking that the dread wor
"benzoate" be taken off their label:
It is a battle between pure food wit
no benzoate in it and all sorts of ruE
bish held together and rendered pa
atable by a drug that in certai
quantities will confessedly undermin
digestion. The battle is on, and Sec
retary Wilson is carrying the benzc
ate banner.

st. Johns, N. F., Sept. 6.-Thrilling
scenes attended the loss of the Allan
Line steamer Laurentian, bound from
Boston for Glasgow, which piled up on
the rocks near Cape Race during a
dense fog at six O'Clock this morning.
The vessel is a total wreck, but the
ifty passengers and forty members of
fhe crew escaped to land after a try
|ngs experience.
L The steamer rebounded heavily
!hen she struck, the shock throwing
most Of the passengers from their
Fberths. They stampeded for the
decks, without stopping to dress and
for half an hour much excitement
prevailed.
L A stiff northwest wind banged the
lship about and the situation became
10 serious at seven o'clock that orders
gwere given to put the boats over.
Twenty-Five passengers, mostly wom-
ZEN and children, were placed in the
first boat, but unlucki1y the bow
tackle collapsed and several persons
were thrown into the sea.
Captain Imri had ropes thrown over
Eehe side and within fifteen minutes
those who had been immersed were
/ tsawn to the deck.
drFfnally six more lfeboats were put
ssr and the passengers transferred
lsovthem. The seas. however. con-
to ntly drenched the shipwrecked
| stople and it was only by constant
| psiling that the lifeboats were kept
| baoat.
a1About ten o'clock, after the boats
j been adrift two hours, a boat
ham nearby fishing village was
frdated.. The fishing boat piloted the
sig, craft to a harbor where the pas
lifegers and crew were cared for by
ses fisher folk. A steamer left St
