TAMES WILSON, secretary of agri-
u culture, has been hot-footing it aft
er a Chicago man who had the
temerity to sell Franklin MacVeagh,
secretary of the treasury, a barrel OF
bogus vinegar. MacVeagh bought the
vinegar believing it was the real
thing, the kind that father used to
make Oh the farm, fit to put on let
tuce and pickle pigs feet with and all
that sort of thing.
The looks and smell of the stuff
made him suspicious, and so he hal
looed for the pure food inspectors
to como and examine. They reported
the alleged vinegar was in reality
adulterated and artificially colored
and misbranded. A criminal informa-
ton was filed against the luckless
storekeeper and he was taken into
the United States court, accused OF
deceiving and misleading MacVeagh.

( The man pleaded guilty and was fined
$25. He promised to be good.
A Buffalo milling concern has been
fined for mixing ground corncobs with
flour middlings. The same concern was
also found guilty of putting ground
corncobs in "gluten" preparation. A
lot of "raisins," shipped from Califor-
MIA to Texas, was discovered to be in
part a decomposed vegetable sub
stance. A Chicago firm selling a
"quick-rising" buckwheat flour has
been fined for fraud in having sold
in reality a mixture of wheat -four
and buckwheat without any quick
rising properties.
Another Buffalo dealer was caught
selling to Michigan folk a wonderful
"hair tonic" which was advertised to
cure headache and loss of hair and
all sorts of thins. Analysis showed
it contained 98.5 per cent. Of alcohol
and nothing to cure anything. The
dealer was let off with fine. A
Michigan man was detected selling in
large quantities a "hay fever cure"
composed of 1896 per cent. cocaine
hydocloride. He was fined 500. Sew
eral lemon extracts and vanilla ex-
tract takers have been recently
caught and punished.

The investigation will take a wide
range. One member of the committee
will be sent to Oklahoma to learn
what basis there is for the charge
made by Gov. Haskell and his friends,
that the prosecutions started against
him under the Roosevelt administra-

and that the methods resorted to by
the special agents of the government
in their efforts TO convict Haskell,
were discreditable.
Another branch of the investigation

Governments O. K. ON the Lowly Toad

claim to consideration and apprecia-
ton First of all, as to the longevity
of the toad, the investigators express
the opinion that many toads reach an
age of at least ten or Fifteen years.
They also believe it possible for the
toad to live for limited time with
out food, but doubt stories about toads
being found in rocks and trees.
THE toad says the pamphlet, "is
a nocturnal animal, and ventures out
during the day only when tempted by
an abundance of food or when the air
and moving insects, centipeds, etc. At
is full Of moisture. 1t eats only living
night, soon after shutdown, or even be-
fore on cool evenings 1t emerges from
it's shelter and slowly hops about in
search of food. Almost a regular beat
is covered. In the country this in
cludes forays along roadsides, into gar
dens and cultivated fields and wher-
ever insect food is abundant and grass
or other thick heritage does not pre-
vent locomotion. In cities and suburb
an villages the lawns, walks and par
ticularly the spots beneath electric
lamps are favorite hunting grounds.

How to Serve Watermelon.

Watermelons are especially cooling
and refreshing on hot day because
of the quantities of deliciously- favored
juice which they contain. The edible
portion is sometimes thoroughly
chilled, cut in small cubes (removing
seeds), sprinkled with powdered sugar
and arranged in coupe glasses for the
first course at luncheon or dinner. For
family use it is most attractively
served in one of the following ways:
Cut a section three or four inches in
thickness from the center of chilled
watermelon With sharp knife cut
out a circle of the pink pulp (the edi-
BILE portion) and place upon a chilled
serving-dish of correct size. Serve in
pie-shaped pieces on chilled plates or
cut off thick slice from both ends of
melon Chat the halves may stand
leveD and cut in halves crosswise.
Arrange on serving-dish on bed OF
green leaves, if any are at hand.

"Corpse'' Aroused by Noise, Runs Away

Il think he's just dreamin about
Jack Johnson's victory" said a third.
In the meantime the Emergency hos
pital ambulance with changing gong
arrived on the scene, and a policeman
with perspiration streaming down his
face rushed up to the mouth of the
alley and was forcing his way through
the crowd to Get at the supposed dead
man.
The noise aroused the corpse"
The PROSTATE figure slowly arose, dis
closing the stalwart form of a negro.
He gazed in establishment at the
crowd that blocked up the entrance to
the alley and saw the policeman and
white-coated Emergency surgeon ell
bowling their way toward him. With
a yawn and a stretch of his arms, the
negro darted into the side door of a
printing office, slamming the door be-
hind him.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the negro has been employed at the
printing establishment a number Of
years. He said he was tired and went
out into the quiet, cool alleyway to
take a nap during the lunch hour.
That was all.
