Or. Wiley's Triumph.

Already the atmosphere is clearing
nnaer the breeze Of public indignation.
The food dopers find themselves hoist
by their own petard. and DIR. Wiley is
triumphant at the top of the pure
food branch of the Department Of Ag-
rieulture. ON Tuesday, Secretary VIII
sun gave Il succession of orders as I'M
expected rs they were gratifying 10
the public generally. The first Of
these was the appointment, temper
arily. of DR.. R. E. Doolittle of New
York. to succeed Solicitor George Me

In the retirement of Solicitor Me
cabe, the food dopers must recognize
that the will of the people is 10 pre-
vail, and that pure food has come TO

lures food products from decayed. fill

little doubt that Mr.. McCabe had ae-
cepted the hint from puplie expression

the President and the people, although
enjoying the continued antagonism OF
the food dopers Attorney General
Wickersham had aligned himself with
Secretary Wilson and Solicitor McCabe
in recommending the removal of DIR

Health Value Of a Whistle.

Boys should be encouraged to whis-
tie. It's a good thing for the lungs
and can be made something of an ac-
complement by daily practise. To
learn to whistle unsteady one must
begin with the scales and then by
combination of sharps and flats. After
a time a single song may be tried with
pii.no accompaniment. 1t is surpris-
ing what range of music can be
whistled. One can turn from bass
solo to a tenor selection without ef-
fort Band music can be whistled-
ANY selection for the voice can be
chirped through puckered lips. 1t Is
said that whistling boys are seldom
troubled with bronchitis or pneumonia.
Many medical men urge patients with
weak lungs to whistle as often and az
much as they possibly can without
causing positive annoyance.

following:
THE state supreme court yesterday
issued supersedeas in the case of Eos
ter Cline, an attorney at Walsenburg,
arrested on a charge OF contempt OF
court and fined $500 by Judge Hunter OF
the Trinidad district.
Mr.. Cline was cited for contempt on the
charge that he i'll advised Albert Potyris-

from the state reformatory at Buena
Vista. It is claimed another crime was
hanging over Potyriski and that Mr..
Cline told him to go back to prison, there
by escaping trial on the second charge.
The district court fined the attorney
for contempt. The case was appealed to
