A GOOD LETTER FROM WEST
TEXAS.
TEXAS.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Here comes a
Western Texas boy to join your band
of boys and girls. AS / have never
seen any letters from this place, will
try to describe it: We live here at
the little town of Winchell on the
Colorado river. This is not a very
busy place, although it is a railroad
town. The Colorado river is a grand
sight. 1t has a fine railroad bridge
across it. 1t has large cement pill
lars under it. 1t is very rocky out
mere. There are no wells here; the
people have to drink tank water
Some use cistern and river water.

Minneapolis & St Louis tracks and the
Des Moines river valley, a motion pre-
vailing instructing city Solicitor NJ. j.
Mitchell to take the necessary action
to dismiss all Of the appeals which had
been filed by the city against the dam
ages as awarded by the sheriff's jury
at the same time the appraisement was
made nearly two years ago.
Heavy damages were awarded by
the sheriff's jury, the total amounting
to over $4,000, and this sum has been
placed in the hands of Sheriff Rasmus
Lund for distribution as soon as the
same can be legally done. A difference
of opinion has existed as to the equity
OF the damages awarded, some OF the
property owners feeling they would
suffer a greater loss than had been
estimated by the sheriff's jury, while
the city held in many cases the award
was in excess of the damages which
would result by the construction OF
the viaduct and this resulted in the
filing of the appeal suits. The dam
ages allowed range from a small per
cent of the valuation of the property
to fully so per cent of the same ana
in the main property owners are ex-
pressing their satisfaction with the
same by withdrawing their suits ana
accepting the award of the snerln s
jury.

BoRAx IN CREAM CONES.
Action Against Manufacturers Under
Pure Food Law Planned.

Washington. July 21.-Prosecutions
against manufacturers OF ice cream
cones which contain borax are to be in
|stituted by the government under the
pure food law.
Large seizures Of cones We're made
recently in different parts of the coun-
try by inspectors OF the department Of
agriculture. Analysis of the cones
seized disclosed the presence OF borax,
a property which has been held to be
deleterious to the human stomach.
The cones. chemically tested, were
found to contain also saccharine and
benzoate of soda, but it was said at
the department that proposed prosecu-
ton would be based solely on the pres
ence of borax, mas much as saccharine
still was under Investigation and ben
zoate of soda had been held to be
harmless when used in small quanti-
ties.
Inspectors will continue to make
seizures wherever cones are found
borax Manufacturers using
borax contend that this ingredient is
necessary to make the cones hold their
shape.
So popular have Ice cream cones be-
come thruout the country, especially
among newsboys and street urchins,
that their manufacture has become a
thriving enterprise. Originally, accord
ing to officials of the government,
much better material was used in MAX
ing the cones, but there was demand
for cheap ones, such as are used by
hundreds OF street vendors. who retail
them filled with Ice cream at l cent
each.

EnaIish.speaklna Jews.

1T has been calculated" says the
Hebrew Standard. that against $4,000
English-speaking Jews toward the end
Of the eighteenth century, there are
now 100000. That is to say, one
quarter Of the entire Jewry throughout
the world to-day are using English as
their medium of communication. Co.
ing on at that rate. we may say that
at the end OF the present century Eng
fish will be spoken by 100000 Jews.
That will then put a new face to the
Yiddish. 1t will be q Yiddish-English
instead of Yiddish- Deutsch, and q
