Pure Food Board
To Make Decisions

DR.. Harvey w. wiley's pure food
board at the Department of Agriculture
Is preparing to begin the New Year
fresh by deciding once and for all time
many mooted questions of food COM
positions that have been undetermined
for many months.
One Of the most timely of these de-
cisions announced Just what is mince-
meat" a question that has been under
discussion by specialists for nine
months.
"Mince-meat is a mixture of not less
than 10 per cent of cooked comminuted
meat, with chopped suet. apple and
other fruits. salt and spices, and with
sugar syrup or molasses, and with or
without vinegar. fresh concentrated or
fermented fruit juices, or spirituous
liquors. -.
This Is the official designation of
mince-mcat by the Federal Government.
DR.. Wiley ana his co-workers believe
that this Is the product our grand
mothers determined by the name of
.mince-meat. He holds that the present
day manufactured connections, that
may contain anything under the sun,
are not always mince-mear.
The pure food board also has de-
cided that only Marasca cherries pre-
served in maraschino, can hereafter be
labeled ''maraschino cherries" Other
cherries packed in maraschino may be
labeled cherries in maraschino," and
those packed In syrup containing 10 per
cent maraschino may be labeled cher
ries. maraschino flavor"

come forward AT this time of equity

It has been announced that the
Santa Fe will build through Has

committee of Dodge City which
secured the right of way for the
FIRST fifty miles of the extension,
has taken up the work of procur-
ing the right Of way through Has

plan is meeting with great deal
Of enthusiasm from the people of
the county on the north, and it is
probable that their work will be
completed within the next thirty
days, and as soon as their canvas
is completed, they will commence
the work of condemning the land
for the right Of way. The sur
veyors are now at Dodge City.
1t is said that active construction
will commence in the very near
future.

To the editors way of thinking,
the most commendable thing done
at the meeting of the Democrat
press at Wichita last week. was
their expression against the can
didacy of Billiard on re-submis-
sion platform. 1t is reported that
without a single exception, the
Democ -atic editors is this state are
against the resubmission of the
prohibition law. This seems to
be the best indication of the atti-
tude the party should take in the
election next year.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-10-20

An interesting feature of last
week was the meeting of the Dem
ocratic Editorial Association at
Wichita. President Boyd of the
Phlllipsburg Post gave several in
terviews along the line on his way
to Wichita, to the effect that one
of the objects of the meeting was
to endorse Woodrow Wilson for
president. AT the meeting it de-
yeloped that Champ Clark had a
number of supporters among the
Kansas editors, and at the closing
session, the Clark sentiment was
so strong that the editors as a
body came near endorsing Clark,
but on second thought, decided
that this was too early for such a
move. All of this shows that men
even good men-are sometimes
mistaken, asw as Mr.. Boyd, and that
this western trip of Champ Clark
is creating or developing a strong
support for his candidacy for the
presidency.
