ARGUE FOR SHELLAC
Confectioners Say It's Harm
less as Coating for Candy.
PURE FOOD BOARD HEARING
DR.. Wiley Is Informed That Use of
Varnish on Chocolates
Is Necessity.

Starting out with the simple statement
that shellac varnish was an inert and
harmless substance. the National Con-
fectioners' Association yesterday after
noon came near convincing itself. II not
the pure food board of the Agricultural
Department. that shellac was really a
food substance OF high nutritive value.
The hearing was on the subject of
whether the, confectioners might be al
lowed to continue the practice. which
they said had been the habit for fifty
years. OF coating chocolates with a thin
varnish of shelac.
The National Confectioners' Associa-
ton was the only body represented at
the hearing. but its members. together
with few individual manufacturers con-
stituted a gathering of fifteen or twenty
who faced DR.. Wiley and his associate.
Dr. Dunlap The subject was presented
for the confectoners by DR.. A. c. Lang
muller, an expert chemist. He gave the
history Of shellac, which. it appears is
originally made by bugs, much after the
manner of cochineal.
DR.. Langmuler proved b. chemical
analysis that shellac was a very harmless
substance; that it was melted at the
temperature Of the human body and was
solubel in the gastric juices. Dr. Wiley
claimed. however, that ii was by no
means a food substance: that ii was up
to the confectioners to prove that It was
harmless, and that the burden was not
on the government to show that it was
in jlIriOuS

Likened to Beeswax.

The gist CT long discussion, however,
seemed to be that shellac was about as
nearly innocuous any substance could
be, and that 1T was about equivalent
chemically to beeswax, which, as w. l..
Putnam pointed out, the government did
not prohibit from being sold with comb
honey and which had never been known
to hurt any one.
The pure food board was assured by W
II. Hoops for the confectioners that they
used only two pounds of shellac coating
to 500 pounds of candy. and he said that
they would less if they could be-
cause shellac cost money and was used
only because a protective coating was
necessary. He said that not only in the
store but in the pantry of the house
keeper chocolate would absorb objection
able odors If not coated. Dr. Wiley said
the same was true of butter to even a
greater extent, and asked if confectioners
would advise vanishing butter with
shellac.
The hearing was ended with the assur-
ance on the part of DR. Wiley
that the board would take the argu-
ments under advisement, but IL seemed
likely, from the showing that was made
in favor of shellac and the small guam
tity used. that the public would continue
to get its chocolate with a shellac coat

NOT FOR PRIMARY
Judge Graves Says State Wide
Act Helps Those Who Need
No Assistance.
CANDIDATE MUST BE RICH
Member of Circuit Bench in This
District Airs Views Before Hem
ny County Republicans.

John Root of Galva was announced
as candidate for president of the state
Swedish-American Republican league
at the annual convention of the Hen
~ county Swedish-American Repub-
lican league at Cambridge. John A.
Lindburg of Kewanee was elected
president of the county organization
and Kewanee was selected for the
1911 gathering Peter Gestrine of
Kewanee was elected vice president,
e. n. Stephenson of Woodruff secre-
tary and O. B. Olson of Kewanee
treasurer. Delegates to the state
convention at Galesburg March 9
were selected. Judge E. C. Graves,
County Clerk E. E. Fitch, Dr. Wester-
lund and others addressed the con-
vention.
Judge Graves in his address con-
demned statewide primary laws, which
he declared benefit only the evil-dis-
posed trusts, the metropolitan press
and the rich office-seekers. Not many
realized the cost of entering a cam
paign for office under the primary law
plan until Judge Graves told of his
experience last spring. He stated that
in this district. there are $4,000 repub-
licans To send each one of them a
letter costs $500 for stamps alone
Then there are the $4,000 envelopes,
the stationery and the printing or
writing necessary. This, said Mr.
Graves, included only the expense of
sending out a single letter. His point
in this illustration was to show that
a poor man has little or no chance for
office under the primary bill
Mentions Another Case.
He referred to the campaign for
made by Charles S. Deneen
and Richard Yates for governor at the
primaries a year ago Judge Graves
said that before the campaign, which
was a memorable one on account of
the unfriendly spirit shown. that the
people had become thoroughly disgust
ed and for go days before election
knew that they had to vote for a man
they did not want. He declared that
many republicans would have voted
neither for Yates nor Deneen had they
been allowed to cast their ballots as
they wished.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever /;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surface.
We will give 800 for any case Of
deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

VOTERS TO PASS ON
A SANlTARIUM TAX
Petition Requesting that Proposition
Be Placed on Ballot Received
by the Council.

At the spring city-township election
you will be given opportunity to vote
on a proposition to levy 1-mill tax
for the establishment and maintenance
of tuberculosis sanitarium in this
city. A petition signed by more than
the required number of voters, re-
questing that it be placed on the bal
lot, was received by the city council
at its meeting last evening, and it
was concurred in unanimously by the
aldermen. The hospital is advocated
by Health Commissioner A. n. Mueller
and by Mayor G. w. McCaskrin, both
of whom devoted their energies to cir
culating the petitions.
The 1-mill tax is legalized by the
Glackin bill recently enacted by the
Illinois legislature. Many other cities
are taking advantage of the law in
view Of good results that are follow
ing the adoption Of preventive meas
ures against the spread of the white
plague. Rock Island has no place to
day for the care of tuberculosis pa
tients. Necessarily they are barred
from hospitals owing to the danger of
contagion. There is no one who does
not recognize the need of sanitarium
here.

HAYES FAVORED
BY UPSET LAW
Trial Delayed by Indefiniteness
of Supreme Courts Parole
Ruling.
LOCAL JUDGE is CONFUSED
In the Event of Conviction, Would
is Admitted to Bail.

An unexpected situation confronted
States Attorney L. NJ. Magill this
morning when It came time for trying
John w. Halves on the charge of muir
der. On account of the action of the
supreme court of the state in Issuing a
stay order holding up its own decision
on the legality of the parole law of
1899, the circuit court here was unable
to see how Halves could be legally
sentenced, even if convicted, until
something definite comes from the SUI
preme court
Judge F. d. Ramsay, who was 20
try the case, said: at would be folly
for the state to go ahead and try the
case in the uncertainty which exists,
and after conference with Attorney
General Stead. the states attorney de-
cided that the only thing to do was to
continue the case until such time as
the court knew where it stood in re-
gard to the law c. J. Searle, attorney
for the alleged murderer. agreed to
ask for a continuance of the case, and
this was allowed by the court
Is Given Temporary Freedom.
Along with the request for a contin-
uance came a motion for the release
of Halves from custody. Although. as
a general rule. murder is an unbafl-
able offense, men indicted on this
charge in this county have usually
been able to secure bail, and on &C
count of the unusual features attach
ing to the case before him, Juage
Ramsay decided to allow Halves to
give bonds for his appearance. The
bail was fixed at $1,000 and was fur
nished by Mrs. J. w. Halves, wife of
the defendant. Mr.. and Mrs. David
Fry, the latter a sister Of the defend
ant, and Henry Zimmerman. 1t is
now believed that the case will remain
in its present status until April. at
which time it is expected the supreme
court will make a decision on the con-
stitutionality of the parole law.
Who Would Sentence.
The question which confronted the
court was who would make the SEN
tence in case the defendant was found
guilty Under the parole law it would
be up to the judge to sentence the con-
victed man to the penitentiary. and
then the board of pardons would de
termine when he should be released,
while if this law is declared unconsti-
tutional and the law prior to the parole
law is in effect, ii would be necessary
for the jury to determine the penalty
the defendant pay for his crime. The
judge cannot sentence under the old /
law and the jury cannot sentence I'M
der the later law, and. as the court |
does not know which will be in effect |
after April, the legal manner of sen
fencing Halves if found guilty would /
not be known until it was too late.
Civil Business Next.
The Halves case was the last on the !
criminal docket and the circuit court |
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-02-24

will take up civil business next. 1t is
expected that the attorneys will meet
with the judge tomorrow morning and
arrange a trial list for the coming
week with the result that court will
convene again Monday morning in reg
ular session.
Sentence Is Suspended.
David Blythe. indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of larceny,
was arraigned this morning before
Judge F. D. Ramsay and allowed to
enter plea of guilty. Upon the lad s
promise to behave in the future the
judge suspended sentence and let the
boy off with a severe lecture. Tho
charge against Blythe grew out of
the accusation made against him by
Carl Anderson, now under Indictment
on the charge of ENLIGHTENMENT. An
derson stated that while he was
sleeping in an intoxicated condition
in a restaurant on Seventeenth street,
Blythe and another lad stole from
his person a diamond ring valued at
$40, and also a pair of gloves and
pair of cuff buttons. Blythe admit
ted having stolen the gloves, but dis
claimed any knowledge of the theft
of the ring, and the police were I'M
able to get any evidence to the con-
trary. The charge against him was
made petty larceny to cover the thief
of the gloves and his plea of guilty
followed

In the twilight of my days.
In the evening of the years,
Life unto my saddened gaze
Seems a vision yelled in tears.
All the knowledge fades away
That l vainly thought to keep;
AS a little child | pray:
Now lay me down to sleep.
l have wandered far from Thee
Since that childish prayer l said,
And the lips that taught it me
Have been gathered to the dead;
Yet her face I seem to see
When the evening shadows creep,
And again. as at her knee.
Pray Thee. Lord, my soul to keep!
Softly fades the lingering light;
Lo, the last beam leaves the skies;
And I watch, amid the night.
For the evening star to rise.
Far beyond the bounds of space
I may drift ere day shall break:
Let me see my mothers face
If l die, before 1 wake!
Darker grows the gathering gloom
While my soul its vigils keeps
With the memories that loom
Up from LIES unsounded deeps.
When upon a sunless strand
shall hear the surges break,
Ere I near the Nameless Land.
Pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take!
