APRoDUcr OF NATURE

Warmed into life by the sun shining
on Southern Cotton Fields, nurtured by
rain and dew, the Cotton plant eoncen-
trates in its seed that hfe-giving and
1ife-sustaining quality which is the basis
of Cottolene. From cotton field to Kitchen,
human hands never touch the oil from
which Cottolene is made. 1t is product
of nature. Lard comes from the fat of the
hog-often impure, always indigestible.
,Cottolene. on the contrary, is made
from vegetable oil, and jelly made from
the Juice of choicest fruit is not more
pure or easily digested than this product
of the oil expressed from the kernel OF
the Cotton seed.

CAUSES THIS MANS DEATH

NEW YORK, May pa glass of ice
cream soda was responsible for the death
yesterday of William G. Baldwin, a
Brooklyn merchant, according to the an
ncuncement of the hospital physicians
today. After drinking the soda Baldwin
was stricken with severe pains and died
a few hours later.
The hospital physicians were baffled
by the case, which they set down as one
of ptomaine poisoning. An examination Of
the body after death showed that gas in
the soda had distended the stomach, caus-
ing a rupture of the wall, and the soda
flowed through the puncture into the
lung cavity.

Taft's mistake with Cannon and with
AIdrich was in subordinating merits
of mea sures to what he conceived to be
his duty to operate with and thru the
majority Of his party in congress. IN
stead of appearing before congress as
the representative of the people asking
the enactment Of laws, honest in char
acter and correct in purpose. he APP
peared as suppliant and accepted
such morsels as the bosses doled out
to him. Instead of the militant Roose-
welt, he appeared in the role of an eff
fete monarch accepting the dictation
of a crafty, self-appointed prime MIN
lister.
In the case of Ballinger the presi-

due to his party loyalty that this end
was brought about. Hitchcock doubt

held Ballinger in line with the Guggen-

is to secure from the government nat

not having been delayed by the dis
