BE NATURAL.

Heaven help the man who imag-
ines he. can dodge enemies by try
ing to please everybody! If such an
individual ever succeeds, pass him
over this way that we may have one
look at his mortal remains ere he
vanishes away, for surely this earth
cannot be his abiding place.
Now we do not infer that one
should be going through this world
trying to find beams to knock and
thump his head against, disputing
every mans opinion, fighting and
elbowing and crowding all who
differ from him. That, again, is
another extreme.
Other people have their opinions,
so have you. Don't fall into the
error of supposing they will respect
you more for turning your coat
every day, to match the color of
theirs. Wear your own clothes in
spite of wind and weather, storms
and sunshine.
1t costs the irresolute ten times
the trouble to wind, and shuttle, and
twist than it does honest, manly
independence to stand.

SCORES OPINION OF
FEDERAL EXPERTS
Address Of President Of Pure
Food Commission.

Denver; Aug. 25.-Food experts from
every section of the country, includ-
Ing Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, Chief Chemist H. w. Wiley
and representatives of the United
States dairy commission and the bu.
reau of animal industry, were present
at the opening of the thirteenth an
nual convention of the Association of
State and National Food and Dairy
Departments.
In his annual address President J.
Q. Emory scored the use OF benzoate
OF soda as a food preservative and Wig
orously opposed the finding of the ref
cree board appointed during President
Roosevelt's administration that the
preventative was not harmful. He
pointed to Secretary Wilson as having
recommended to the president that
the finding Of the board be not rein
vestigated, although a committee of
the association applied for a reconsid-
Grafton Of the subject.

water or in pickles, was the emphatic
conclusion of the speaker. Recon-
mending a breaking away from the
federal pure food laws as not meeting
the necessities of the Individual states
Mr. Emory urged a wide breach be-
tween the state commissioners and
Secretary Wilson. He favored the
submission to each state legislature
the model" pure food law as pro-
posed by DR.. e. F. Ladd, state food
commissioner of North Dakota. No
sooner had these views been expressed
than dozen other speakers contend
ed that breaking away from the fed
eral laws would result in a chaotic
multiplicity of state laws all out Of
harmony with one another. It was
determined that the whole subject
should be threshed out and reported
upon by special committee.

CRITIClSES THE HOUSEWIFE
UncIeanliness Cause of Many of Our
Ailments, Says Wiley.

Uncleanliness Cause of Many of Our
Ailments, Says Wiley.
Denver, Aug. 25.-Modern house
wives are veritable Lucretia Borgias,
declared DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, head
of the United States chemistry bu-
reau.
"The modern Lucretia," he said, "is
here in t1ocks, using the telephone,
handing out poison from the icebox,
from the broiler and the skillet and
the little tins of dinner she buys when
breathlessly rushing home after her
exciting bridge game at the club. The
average icebox is charnel house,
which not only holds death, but
spreads it. And, too, many house
keepers allow disorder and uncleanli-
ness to prevail in their kitchens and
larders through ignorance or indiffer-
ence. If they will give over the tele-
phone habit, personally supervise their
marketing, kitchens and larders the
present, as well as the future citizen,
will be more useful to the community
and nation"

BLESSED ARE THE Prosecuted"

If there is anything that tortures
an editor more than anything else it
is to publish a SIS or $40 obituary
notice about some old, prominent
citizen who never had the manhood
to take the paper.
Editors frequently put in such
notices at the request of relatives
and friends, but it grinds them to
eulogize man to the skies who was
too stingy to support his home
paper.
A three-line notice is all that such
fellows deserve when they" shuttle off
this mortal coil"
