FOOD INSPECTORS OBJECT.
Bean Imports From Italy Held Up
Pending Federal Investigation.

The local pure food office of the
agricultural department and the
board of iealth have been asked to
investigate the coming to this port
of a small grag-winged bug that
threatens to stop the importation of
certain kind of bean from Italy.
This insect has caused so much i'll
ness among the laborers and weigh
ers who handle the beans that the
matter has been officially brought
to the attention of Surveyor Clark
SON. He has called for an investiga-
! ton, and meanwhile he has held up
a large importation of the beans I'M
til a decision shall lbe reached.
For some time the authorities
have received complaint that small
insect, brought from Italy with a
dried bean, much like our butter
bean and called by the men who han
! die them as horse or FLY" beans,
was causing the discontinue of the
men handling them A few days ago
| three men became so i'll that they
| had to remain at home under the
care of physicians. At first the cause
, of the malady was a mystery, but the
men soon became convinced that the
bugs were the cause of it. SiXty-three
| bags of the beans which arrived here
/ on the Europa are known to have
| brought the pests, and the consign-
ment now held up consists of 125
| bags, which arrived recently on the
Virginian.
! The insect is gray in color about
| the size of a half pea. When first
disclosed in the bean the bug is ap-
iparently lifeless. 1t soon revives,
| however, and begins to crawl or take
short flights. 1t crawls up the trus-
ers of the men who handle the beans
and bites them, the effect being a
feeling of nausea In addition to this
a rash appears on the affected parts.
The officers of the pure food bu
reau have taken specimens of the
bug, and are now making tests to
prove that it is the bug which causes
the strange ilness-New York

What Cleveland Did.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Cleveland, Ohio, tells of the remaril-
able celebration of the Fourth and
fifth there There were patriotic ex-
eIcises in which nearly all the people
joined The celebration was perfectly
sane" Scarcely shot was heard in
side the city limits, says the dispatch,
except those fired in the parks at the
public exhibition of fireworks.
Chief If. Police Kohler estimates that
the citizens OF Cleveland were saved
S500.0g9 in doctors bills, hospital
bills. funeral expenses, fire losses. ETC..
by the sane method of celebrating.
Looks like the old insane way of
celebrating the Fourth is down and

SUMMER HAIR DRESSING

The disagreeable and repulsive
odors that come from the hair in
summer are caused by dandruff.
Dandruff is caused by microbes
which are hard to kill. but which
can be killed by Partisan Sage, the
quick-acting, money-back hair tonic.
Dandruff can never be cured until
the small, aggravating and indom-
liable dandruff germ is conquered
and destroyed.
And millions of dandruff germs
have been destroyed, thanks to the
great scientist and dermatologist
who gave to the world Partisan Sage
the only real dandruff cure and hair
grower the world has ever known.
+ II you have dandruff, Partisan
Sage is guaranteed to stop falling
hair and itching of the scalp. It

Who on close investigation 49,
Hasn't any streak of yellow.
Frank and candid In his dealings,
Skulking not behind the busbes.
Never giving to brother
Any sly. unfriendly pushes
One who greets you in the open
With straight and manly bearing
II it's in a friendly contest,
With the laws unwritten squaring.
Or II strife is strong and bitter
Being just as true and candid,
Though II aids him in the winning.
Doing nothing undetermined.
There is very little pleasure
Dealing with the kind of creatures
Who are neither milk nor water,
But are double in their features,
Those who greet you in the morning
With a manner quite attractive,
But when you are at a distance
With their hammer arm get active.
Oh. the true blue man and brother.
Not the rawner or the fiunlxy.
But the one to face the music,

And it's good to get your peppers
On the man who's right all over.

A Story That Varies.

There Is a story more or less diff
fused of young bride On her wedding
day playing the game of hide and seek
and concealipg herself in one of those
ancient carved chests of large size.
After she had got I'm the lid closed,
and she found herself unable to raise
it again. for it fastened with a spring.
and she was shut in. Search was
made fer her in every quarter but the
right one, and great perplexity and
dismay were caused by her disappear
ance. 1t was not till years after. when
chance led to the opening Of the chest,
that the body of the young bride was
discovered and the mystery of her dis
appearance solved.
The story IS found in so many places
that ii may be questioned whether 1T
is true of any one of them Rogers
tells II of palace in Modcna. The
chest in which the poor bride was
found is shown at Bramshill, In Hamp-
shire, the residence of Sir John Cope.
Another similar chest with precisely
the same story attached to it was long
shown at Maxwell Old Hall. between
Winchester and Bishops Waltham.
The folk tale of Catskin or Peau
dane represents the girl flying with
her bridal dresses from a marriage
that Is repugnant to her. and as this
tale is found all over Europe 1t may
have metamorphosed itself into that
of the bride who got into a chest and
died there.-Cornhill Magazine.
