Ihat man must lead a happy life
Who's freed from matrimonial chains-
Who is directed by his wife

Adam could find no solid peace
When Eve was given for a mate. 4
Until he saw woman's face
Adam was in happy state.
In all the female face appear ~,
Hypocrisy deceit and pride: Il
Truth, darling of a heart sincere
Ne'er known in woman to reside.
What tongue is able to unfold
The falsehood that In woman dwells
The worth in women we behold
Is almost imperceptible.

VINO changes from his singleness:
Who will not yield to woman's sway
Is sure of perfect blessedness.

WIN
ON CREAM RATES
COMMERCE COMMITS
SION DECIDES RATES COM
PLANNED OF EXCESSIVE.

Washington, Jan. 26.-One OF the
most important decisions by the inter
state commerce commission for many
months was handed down yesterday by
that body in ordering material re-
duction of railroad rates in the cases
of the Beatrice Creamery company
and others, and the Fairmont Cream
cry company and others, against the
Illinois Central and other railroads
and the Blue Valley Creamery COM
pany against the Michigan Central
railroad company, and other roads.
The commission sustained the conten-
ton of the compliments, who operate
creameries using the centralizer meth
cd, whereby supplies of cream are OBJ
tanned by railroads as distinguished
from the local creamery method which
obtains cream by wagon, that the
rates on cream to Chicago between
Michigan points on the east and Colo
RADIO points on the west are excessive

HE sMELLED HIS DUTY.
United States Marshal Seizes Seven
Tons of Ancient Eggs.

Tons of Ancient Eggs.
According to a story from Detroit,
the United States marshal of that city
smelled his duty and did it by seizing
seven tons of rotten eggs shipped
from Cincinnati and consigned to
cracker factory at Detroit, says the
Wisconsin State Journal He made the
seizure because he received positive
orders from the department of justice
to do so. Failure to smell the eggs
would be no excuse. Nobody could
fail to smell them, even if they were
frozen solid, as happened to be the
fact in this instance.
What am l going to do about it,"
was the substance of his daily in
quiry directed to the department of
justice. Hold EN- was the laconic
answer. They must be produced in
evidence at the trial. So the marshal
is holding them.
This is the largest seizure of the
kind ever made in this country. Be
fore the pure-food law went into eff
feet rotten eggs for use in candy and
cake factories used to be imported
from China, but in such cases the rem
nants of the eggs We're dried and the
smell was not very bad until they alb
sorbed moisture in large quantities
The pure food law made that trade i'm
possible, so an enterprising firm in
Cincinnati undertook to supply the
void. Its plan was to buy all the bad
eggs it could get, break them and
freeze the stuff into solid cakes. How
long the business has been going on
the government does not know. 1t is
supposed it has been in operation a
year or more, but, as the firm also
ships good eggs, 10 was never sus-
pected of doing anything of this kind,
hence it's long immunity.

MoTHER-IN-LAW DEFENDED.
Wife's Sister Declared the Prime
Agent of Domestic Infelicity.


For mother-in-law read sister-in-law
says the New York Post A Philadel-
phia politician is supposed to have
been slain by his wife's sister, in Nor
folk, Va, man killed his sister-in-
law and himself after declaring that
she had estranged him from his wife.
Can it be that for ages the world has
cherished erroneous ideas concerning
the handspring of domestic infelicity?
Every one has been whitewashed now
adays-Cleopatra, Richard III, Stand
ard Oil, army contractors, the devil.
Ananias and Haffen-and it seems
strange that no one should have
spoken up in behalf of the mother-in-
law, or taken the trouble to point out
that it is not she, but her younger, un-
married daughter, that brings trouble
into a married sisters house.
A mother-in-law's capacity for harm
is after all, limited by the fact that
she can be charged with being old
fashioned, Uniformed and otherwise
unqualified to interfere in the affairs
of younger generation.
But sister Mabel comes in radiant
from Paris or San Francisco and says:
Mary, how worn you look! Are the
children too much for your" or do
you remember how found you were of
dancing before you married." 1t is
such gratuitous criticism that breeds
crime.

NIGHT HAWKS OF NEW YORK.

has IFS might hawks from choice, as
we'll as from the necessity that grows
out of many employments. There are
men who know not the light, noise

but after the sun has set they are
abroad, ready for breakfast and for
the events of their nocturnal waking
hours.
These as a rule are men of the lei
sure class, without families, who live
in the hotels near the centers of the
city's activities. They are not con
spicuous early in the evening, when
they are among the thousands in the
brightest part of the metropolis, but
are more noticeable to the careful OBJ
server who goes with open eyes ano
ears into the restaurants after the wee
hours of the morning begin. Their

but by the time dawn appears they

Mich
Among the questions discussed al
the meeting was that of recent find
ing of the board of eminent consult
ing scientific experts drawn from the
various universities of the country
and named by the president at the re
quest of manufacturers who were
using benZoate Of soda and who were
dissatisfied with the findings of the
bureau of chemistry. DR.. Wiley, chief
of that bureau, by series of famous
poison squad experiments, reached
the conclusion that the effect of ben
zoate of soda upon the human system
when taken in quantities or used as
personalities for foods, was injuri
ous
The report of the referee board OF
consulting scientific experts, while OF
great Importance to manufacturers OF
food products, will not be permitted
to go uncontested. Under the pure
food law the department of agricul-
ture is required to certify to United
States district attorneys all violations
Under the finding of the board the
department will not construe the use
of benzoate of soda as in violation OF
the law. 1t is possible, however, un-
der the law for individuals or associa-
tons to bring before the courts al
legged violations of the law, and 1t
is certain that pure food organizaT
tions will eventually take the matter
into the courts. DR.. Wiley, who is
regarded as the pure food champion
has had his hands tied, and as long
as he remains in the government
service must bow to the decision OF
the referee board There will be adj
ditional legislation by congress &c
meet the remarkable situation thai
has arisen, but it will probably moi
be at this session.
This finding affects the status OF al
action brought by Commissioner Emery
against eastern packers for using
benzoate of soda as preservatlve. IL
proceeding before Judge Sanporn
some time ago it was agreed thal
action should be held in allegiance I'M
til this commission had made its de-
termination.
