There are tucks over the shoulders
which conceal the armhole seams and

PURE FOODS AND PURE FADS

From Leslis's Weekly

The very pertinent question has
been asked by manufacturers Of
foods, If, under the pure food law.
DR.. Wiley's sweeping ruling against
preseTvatives OF every name and ma
ture excludes the use of smoke and
salt, the most common and ancient of
all preservatives. The only reply TO
this inquiry that We have seen is to
the effect that as long as salt and
smoke are not ruled against by
the department at Washington, there
will be no objection to their continued
use as preservatives. But some day
DIR. Wiley or some successor may in
clude in fantastic rulings a new one,
by which the sailing and smoking of
fish and meats shall be forbidden.
Then they will no longer be claSsed
with the permissible things, but will
I've taboo. The highest medical au-
thorities agree that the use of salt
and smoke in the preservation of food
interferes i'm a measure with their
digestion, Just as the use OF any other
preservative in small amounts may
do: but under the food and drugs act
salt and wood smoke are Classed as
foods, though other preservatlves,
quite as innocuous and quite as COM
monty used are ruled" against and
cannot be used by manufacturers in
the United States as they are used
abroad and had been used I'm this
country for many. years until ridicu-
lous Wileyism grew rampant.

BIG "DoIkGS."

AS Halloween time approaches,
preparations are being made for its cell
ebration by the many small boys of the
city who regard that event as the one
night of all the year when they may
have fun to their hearts content. Daily
trips into the country are being made
by the youngsters. and it is needless
to say that the Wayne county farmers
corn fields have suffered materially as
result of the visits. Already
quantity of hedge apples. rotten eggs
and tomatoes have been stored away
to be thrown with telling effect against
some front doors on that night of all
nights.
A Serious Question.
In view of the fact that Halloween is
always celebrated on October 81 and
that date happens to fall on SUNDAY
this year. there is some question as 10
whether 1t will be celebrated at all
in the usual manner 1t is entirely
up to the police to determine this
all important fact Halloween is not
legal holiday. 1t is simply the occa-
sion OF general good time following d
custom that has been In vogue for
many years. II the police are inclin-
ed to be lenient they may change the
night Of celebration to Saturday. Octo.
Der 80, or Monday. Nov. 1. However.
II the big blue coats wish to be cruel
and hard-hearted. they may issue an or.
der that the law will be enforced and
peace and tranquility must reign on
all three nights.
