The high pressure area that was central Tuce1 ever Nebraska is passing eastward attended by colder weather in the Atlantic states and light to heavy frosts from Tennessee to the lakes Areas of low pressure in Arizona and the extreme North west and the east Gulf have caused precipitation in the Pacific coast and Rock Mountain districts and the coast al regions of Texas and Louisiana.

Gle entitled Cassidy and the Food
Prisoners" The article was written
by Cleveland Moffett. Summonses in
the case, the first libel suit ever
brought by the Standard Oh company.
were served on the two defendants.
It seems that the STANDARD Oh was
willing to worry along under all the
hard anne that were placed before

that the Standard Oil had secured q
monopoly Of the glucose sugar indus
try and was making the product more
attractive to the eye by whitening 1t
by the use of sulphites. Mr.. Mofett
pointed out that glucose Ia used in
candy making and added that the
agents of the Standard Oil In eastern
Pennsylvania and lower New Jersey
had been arrested, brought into court
and branded as deliberate prisoners OF
little children"
That sentence about the poisoning OF
little children hurt, and the smarting
OF the wound wasn't soothed any by
the stream of clippings from the arti-
Gle which began 10 come In every
mail to the Standard Oil Office. 1t is
said that copies of the article were 80
received by many OF the officers Of the
corporation and that the senders had
taken care TO mark the excerpt quot

right to exist made the attack, as a
representative of the company said.

suit was the corporation broke its rule
and began suit for $250.ooo against

Before starting tho suit Martin Ca.

They denied that the Standard Oh Ii
