About to Break Into the Siren

Three Kansas men were visiting re-
Gently. One of them has held impor-
tant state Offices. The other has as
pirations to be elected to one of the
big places" They talked of the latter
mans chances; his plans of conduct
ing his campaign, and so on.
Let me tell you something said
the man who has been I'm" Let
me tell you something. Don't worry
about the fellows who are against you.
Under the primary system they are
scattered far and wide. Don't get any
gray hairs over them. That won't do
you any good. To win them over you
will be wasting time and energy and
breath, because the chances are you
won't win them, anyway. If they are
against you for personal reasons-that
Is, If they are personal enemies, or op-
pose you for political cause.-the
chances are they will vote against
you. Let 'em alone. But go where
your friends are. Go where you votes
are. Keep them sure. They're yours.
Keep EN-. They will make more votes

not the same. Pork sausage ought
to be made of pork, and pork only,
and the man who puts anything else
into the same and sells it to me as
pork sausage ought to be prosecuted.
| don't mind their tampering with the
maple syrup, the buckwheat, the
honey or the nutmeg, but the sau-
sage, to my way of thinking ought
to be left alone,-it is one of the
sacred things of my boyhood years"
When strictly enforced the pure
food laws are a blessing to mankind,
and one wonders why such laws were
not enacted years ago When you
stop to think of it it's a grave offense
for a maj to unload one article upon
you when you asked for another.
You ask for a gallon of pure cider
ton that never saw an apple. You
ask for a bottle of pure olive oil; you
are handed a bottle of rancid grease
that never saw an olive. You ask for
pure pork sausage; you get beef
neck in part and pork fat. And so
general did this custom prevail that
it became IA joke. Now there is a
law hat says all this must be
stopped, and it is a blessed law, and
it is up to the consumer to help en-
force that law-if a dealer attempts
to unload an adulterated product up
on you, roar, roar loud and long. The
law is on your side.
