President Returns to Washington to

Washington, Oct. 2O.-President

day.
Closes New York Stay.
New York, Oct 2O.-President Taft
brought his New York visit to a close
last night His last day here was Civ
en- over TO political conferences, the
, situation in New York state and Ohio
sharing almost equally in the interest
displayed by the president as to pres
ent day conditions and election day
prospects.
To Lloyd c. Griscom of the New
York county republican committee, Mr..
Taft expressed anew the hope that
Henry L. Stimson, the republican NOM
inee for governor in this state, would
be successful Some of the leaders
who have seen the president have
told him that conditions are far from
reassuring
OhiOans Are Gloomy.
The reports from Ohio, brought to
the president by former Governor My
ron T. Herrick of Cleveland, and ia
cob G. Schmidtlapp of Cincinnati, were
not enthusiastic
To many close observers, probably
the most significant feature of the
presidents stay here is the fact that
during the last two days Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt has been at Oyster Bay
only 33 miles from New York-and
so far as known no communication
whatever passed between him and Mr..
Taft
1t was reported there might be a
meeting between the two old friends.
This was based on the statement at
tributed to the colonel some time ago
TIT he would be glad to call on the
president in New York when an oppor-
tunity offered. Since that time, how

LOOK OUT FOR BLUE LABEL All Meat Should Bear This Stamp of
 Government Inspection

From the New York Tribune.
 Every woman who looks well to the ways of her household now understands the dangers of impure milk. Some. in fact, have been thoroughly frightened by recent agitation that they are reported to be giving their children tea and coffee instead of milk. But comparatively few housekeepers exercise the same care in the selection of meat, and most of them do not even know that the United States government offers them protection if they will only look for Uncle Sam's blue label.
 Not single pound of meat" says an authority on these subjects. should ever be allowed to enter the home unless the housekeeper knows that it has been strnped with the approval of the govern ment, for while uninspected meat may be perfectly wholesome the chances that 1t is not are too great to take risks with Uninspected meat ought not even to be handled for if it is contaminated by dis ease 1t Is even more dangerous to handle 1t than to eat 1t, for In cooking the germs may be killed, but in the washing and handling they will cling to the hands. which may be placed near the mouth. or wiped on @ towel that will come in con tact with the face.
 Specials" In the meat line should be purchased with the greatest caution. The young housekeeper with an overwheim- ing desire to economize is often tempted by them, but 1t is more than likely that bore 8 blue label. There may, of course, be perfectly honest reasons for "spe- clals." Many butchers have "specials' on certain days every week as an adver- tisement, or perhaps because they have a superfuity of stock that they desire to get rid of. But where, for instance. there Is number of porterhouse steaks marked "special' and others marked at the reg ular price, it would be we'll to beware If the butcher says his Specials" are due to an over-supply, why does he not mark all the steaks at the reduced rate? Why does he differentiate In price if there Is no difference in quality?

Pottery First of All Handicraft
rom the Minneapolis Journal.


 Ancient Glass and Pottery" was the subject of an address given recently by T. B. Walker, president of the Minnesota Academy of Science.
 The art of the potter has been the pre-. dominant one in all the early ages, said MT. Walker, and from its universal dis tribution as a useful and ornamental art 1t may be considered as a primary and foremost art of the world, both an- cient and modern.
 'The potter's art led to designing, col bring and Illustrating. It was the fore runner of sculpture, decorative archi- lecture and of the art of painting. The sculptors and painters art appeals more to the interest and art taste of mankind. yet the more generally applied art of the potter and glass maker has reached more universally through the domestic and art life of the world.
 Among the civilized nations the pot ter's art runs back to 250o B. C., as shown in the ruins of cities of the Baby lonian empire and in Egypt to date more than 5000 BIG. Tn the old Egyp- tian tombs are found glazed pottery as early as $500 B. c. The old Babylonian clay tablets are perhaps many ages later than the oldest earthenware vessels made for domestic use.
 On the clay tablets were inscribed the records of the temples in the ruins of which they are found.

The Uncrowning of Manuel
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly. F..
 The collapse of the Portuguese mon- archy last week occasioned small sur prise to those who had followed political affairs in that tiny Kingdom. The throne went down under the dead weight of cor ruption and extravaganza, which had alienated all elements, so that King Man uel reigned unfriended and unsupported, and the republicans had the choosing Of their own time and opportunity. Reports say they had 'squared'' the British gov ernment--the task that must have been the most important, for reasons that will be given; the overthrow of the crown had been anticipated for several weeks, and British warships were in waiting at Gibraltar to hurry to Lisbon for the pro- lection of English citizens. However. the conduct of the populace appears to have been exemplary.
 When a throne falls nowadays it has generally reached so hopeless a position that it is not worth saving. Just as the decadent Obrenovitch dynasty was swept into history by the murder of King Alex ander, inheritor of his fathers accumu- lated sns.i so the house of Braganza, shaken to its foundations by the follies of King Carlos. could endure only two years under Manuel. When the 'fattest mon- arch in Europe" and the crown prince met their fate by the bullets of assassins in Lsbon's streets, two years ago. 1t was prophesied that Manuers reign would be Of the briefest Perhaps if he had pos sessed the force to overthrow the corrupt clements that surrounded him and to curb the extravagances of the court. he might have propped up his throne. But he fol- lowed the practices of his, father, squan- dered the scanty resources of Portugal and displayed neither initiative nor cour- age. He is reputed to have spent an enor- nous sum upon Parasian dancer for whom he reserved a suite of rooms in the royal palace, an act which alienated those who entertained the most sympathy toward him.

STRANGER THAN FICTION
Railroad Construction Train Rescues
 Men MarOoned Four Years

Yuma Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat. When John Cudahy, the millionaire packer of Chicago, recently bought of the Colorado Development company a small empire. extending from Imperial Valley, California, far into Mexico his purchase included the little area where George Lembecke and Herman Dugwig Germans, have lived for four lonely years, afraid to venture from their clearing in the thorny bush lest they become lost and perish on the blistering sands.
 Only those familiar with the desert and this region in particular can appreciate the possibilities of a living death which the two men faced. They set forth four years ago from Yuma on prospecting trip. Far beyond civilization their pack burros decamped, leaving them stranded. For three terrible days they wandered over the desert. Finally they pushed their way through the thorny tangle of underbrush on the Colorado delta and with shoes worn through clothes in tat ters and bodies a mass of ugly lacera- tions. they stumbled upon a water hole, fed from the distant Colorado. There they collected their outfit, determining that their only hope lay in remaining by this water supply until help came.
 Realizing the possibilities of being forced to remain for an indefinite period. | After making a small clearing in the damp soil of the delta they cut up their potatoes and planted them and stuck most of their red beans into the ground.
 While looking after their farming en- terprise they also invented snares and other traps for wild game, whose little runways zigzagged through the under brush, and in this way fresh meat was easily secured.
 A lean-to made of branches and foliage provided shelter. Within short time the two marooned men had become accus- toned to their wild surroundings and but for the knowledge that they could not escape without aid from the outside they would have found pleasure in their unique environment, especially as their husband ry proved successful, eliminating sll pos sibility of starvation
 Occasionally they would go to the outer edge of the brush and gaze wistfully across the limitless sand. but were not rewarded by sighting others of their kind.
 "It looks as though we would die here,'' said Lembecke, despondently. We could be worse off," was his companions phil osophical response as he recalled the days of awful suffering when he and Lem
