became law, the 104 rulings of the
rational bureau at Washington are

mere references to them. This will
involve much work Oh the part of the
commissioner in following the inter-

court decisions upon them. However,

only difference is that it is not so

Oh that point. The supreme court of
the District of Columbia has held
hat, despite their label, the stock
foods could not claim protection I'M

Another provision that will add to
the cost of enforcement is that ex-
7mpting retailers who can show a
guaranty from the jobber or manu-
facturer That will take a great many
cases out of the jurisdiction of the
state, because often the guaranty
would be given by nonresident con.

would be to notify the federal authori-
ties, and they are SO far behind that
it is always a long time before they
can reach complaints"

Of all the whimsical shifting, unre-
liable, trea,herous, exacting things N
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious'
There are those who humor it; 9th
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con-
sideration. To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos'
tered, at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subsection, is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted II
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city Try t
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule of the Palace.

OF the closing hours OF the legisla'
ture, My physician has positively
forbidden any active work during

Ilutely necessary to possibly prevent

circumstances, it is absolutely neees-
sary for me to decline any further
work during the next month or six

COCKTAILS NEW RULES|N
LABOR QUESTION
HE INTENDS TO DISCIPLINE
SOME OF THE FOREIGN.
ERS THERE.

WASHINGTON. May ll,-With
a view to ending the inefficicncy and
practical insubordination among the
Spanish, Italian and Grecian laborers
on the Isthmian canal, Chairman
Goethals has had to reyolutionize
the system under which European
labor is employed there, He has
given notice to the consuls from
these countries that he intends 10
place the laborers from their respect
i've countries on the same footing
that Americans must labor on the
canal.
On account Of the contractual
obligations, recognized by the Canal
Commission in importing European
laborers, they have been permitted
hitherto to retain their special checks
which entitled them to receive 20
cents an hour, American currency,
even though their services were un'
satisfactory This has resulted in
the European laborers deliberately
reducing the output of their work to
such an extent that all the superin'
tendants and foreman are Of the
opinion that the efficiency Of contract
labor Is much less than year ago
In addition, several instances vcrgng
on insubordination have resulted
from the lcniency, the EuFopcans
being removed from fear Of dismis-
sal.
Colonel Goethals has ANNOUNCED
that hcnceforth European contract
laborers will have their special con
tracts revoked, just as Americans in
case their services are unsatisfactory
In such event they maybe re'employ'
ed at the wages commensurate with
the services rendered or may be
denied work entirely

AN ASTORIA INVENTION.
Clever Device Fashioned by an AS

ton was received by Paul H. Kraetch
of this city, yesterday from his pat
ent lawyers at Washington D. c"
advising him that a patent was al
lowed him upon his recent invention,
"a receptacle for souvenir post cards"
Outwardly, the device has the ap-
pearance Of a post card album, but
the inside is arranged with movable
trays. which also form partitions;
these trays can be readily lifted out
when it is desired to examine postals;
the whole arrangement being very
simple and can be manufactured at
considerable less cost than an album,
and at the same time il will stand
much more wear and tear than an
album.
The article is entirely new and
wholly different from anything yet
marketed in this line, and is certain
to be a good seller once it is launch
ed on the market; matter Mr..
Kraetch is now negotiating His
many friends here will wish him un'
limited success in his new and credit
able venture.
