Uniform Food Laws.

Next week the governors of all
the states assemble at Washington to
discuss ways and means to bring about
cooperation for the promotion of the
nations welfare. No subject will be
discussed which will be of greater i'm
portance than uniform pure food laws.
It has been proposed that this house
of governors become permanent
third legislative branch of the feder-
al government. There is remote
possibility that some such plan will be
worked out in future years, but
whether it does or not great good
can he accomplished through the meet
ing of the chief executives of the
states and the interchange of ideas
which results therefrom.
The great work which sprang from
the first meeting was the awakening
Of the people to the Importance OF the
conservation of our annual resources.
The keynote of the second meeting
bids fair to be uniformity of legisla-
ton along certain lines. Uniformity
in pure food laws is of paramount i'm
portance The federal government
has done what it could, but unless the
states pass supplementary statutes
which are very similar to the federal
law little is accomplished.
Focd adulteration is repulsive to all
of Us and the government has under
taken no other movement which is SO
popular or which has been so vigorous
ly fought by those who were profiting
by sWindling the public. The people
1t least have q right to unadulterated
food prepared under clearly condi-
lions. Where we are dependent upon
the corner grocer for nearly every
thing IVES. eat. and where he in turn
is depeEsft>nt upon the jobber for ms
stock and the iobber in turn upon the
manufacturer. it is impossible for the
Individual to protect himself The
only manner in which he may be guar
anteed wholesome food is through
federal and state laws which enable
him or his representatives to reach the
yuiltv in whatever state they may be
found.
Most of the states had some sort o
pure food law when Congress passed
tho law now in force. The only faul
with them is the lack of uniformity
IF the conference of governors removes
this fault, it will have accomplished
something worth while. The govern
| ors are alive to the situation an
good results are expected.

One of the latest things for the ner-

just before retiring at night. This not

To make the bath buy ordinary bran
at a feed store and keep it in a tin
box away from mice. Make a bag of
c~heesecloth, from ~ to 18 inches
square and stuff it with bran until
about as full as a pine pillow. This
bag is put in a bathtub half filled with
warm water and squeezed until the
water is brown and hubby. 1t is not
well to remain in the water longer
than five or six minutes and, if pos

SPANISH CLIMATE IN WINTER
Many Cities and Localities That Are
Famed Throughout the World as
Health Resorts.

The most agreeable winter climate
in Spain and probably in Europe is
that of Malaga, which has a mean
winter temperature of IS degrees
Fahrenheit. The climate is extremely
beneficial to sufferers from rheuma-
tism, but it is not at all recommended
in highly nervous cases.
There are at times unpleasant winds
but extremely little rain during the
winter months. Though a healthy
place, the sanitation of the town is
not good, but the unsanitary effects
are to a large extent neutralized by
the dry climate, by the sea air and
by the abundant and excellent water
supply.
Ronda is nearly 5000 feet above the
sea and has a bracing. climate-too
bracing, in fact for winter. Algeciras
is probably the most successful win
ter station in Spain, and since the
conference which was held there a
few years ago it's hotels have been
full of visitors during the greater part
of late winter and spring. Being
within easy reach of Gibraltar, the
place is by no means dull.
There are tennis courts, a golf
course, polo ground Cat Campamento),
and most of the meets.o the Calpe
Hounds are as conveniently reached
from Algeciras as from Gibraltar.
Yachting, boating and sea fishing may
be freely INDUCED in and driving ex-
%cursions may be made in the direction
of Tarifa and Cadiz. More distant ex-
%,cursions include those to Tangier,
Granada, Seville and Malaga. Madrid
is too cold for January. 1t is at an
altitude of 2,400 feet. Seville is better
in March and April than in January.

The eX-queen of Naples, Emperor
Francis Joseph's sister-in-law, is the
only woma who has received the
Russian Cross of St. George, which is
only conferred for acts of conspicuous
bravery under fire, and the ex-queen
received it in recognition of the cour-
age she displayed in connection with
the magnificent defense of Gaeta
King Victor Emmanuel. One day dur
ing the siege a bomb fell into the
room where King Francis and Queen
Sophia were dining. King Francis re-
treated to the cellar, trembling with
fright. Queen Sophia rose from the
table and walked to a looking glass
that hung on the wall and, noticing
that her hair was whitened by the
plaster dust raised by the bursting
bomb, said, quite calmly: What a
pity 1t is that powder is no longer
fashionable? Don't l look quite an
eighteenth century queen with my
whitened hair? l must keep it so
while the garrison is being reviewed.
Queen Sophia conducted the entire

nificent that the garrison was permit
