A man in Rochester, N. Y, devel-
oped a plan of treating sawdust with
molasses to use in adulterating spices.
One part of the real spice and three
parts of sawdust made the product,
which could not be detected by the
eye or tongue.
Frauds in favoring extracts and
maple syrup have been common. A
Vermont man has offered recipe to
grocers so that they can make the
maple syrup they purchase into an
adulterated product, three gallons of
fraudulent syrup to one-half gallon
of the real syrup.
There are numerous other schemes
for increasing the weight of parched
coffee, preserving eggs, useless bak
ing powders, making mincemeat and
tomato catsup at reduced cost by
using little meat or tomatoes. The
grocer, to get the recipes, must pay
for them. The price is usually $40
and a pledge to secrecy.

boys of the senate wear knee
breeches, neat little round-abouts, silk
stockings and well-polished shoes.
Their faces and hands are clean, their
hair carefully brushed and each one
of them looks as If he had just come
out of bandbox. The duties of
page today are substantially the
same as were required at the begin
ming of the government.
Sometimes the boys are not dis
missed when they reach the age
limit. Exceptionally bright pages
have been retained as riding pages,
whose duty it is to carry messages
for senators to executive departments
and to all points in the national capi-
tai. Others have been promoted to
the position of deputy sergeant-at-
arms of the senate, or as superin-
tendent of pages on the Democratic
or Republican side of the senate. The
boys attend night school and by
listening to debates and by reading
the congressional record are receiving
educations on national affairs and on
economics such an no university in
the world could afford to provide for

food for the people of the country

foodstuffs, but it has not deferred the
inventive genius of the country from
trying to work out schemes for sub

State food and drug inspectors re

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Jan. 19.--Wheat-Th bull
leaders In wheat were credited with
selling a little on the bulge yesterday,
but the best judges of the pit do not
believe they have made any attempt to
unload part of their big holdings The
operations were largely of a scalping
character so far as the bulls were con-
cerned, and did not effect the status
ST their holdings in the least. The
market itself appears to be receiving
fair support on all the little setbacks
and II requires but a little buying to
give a brisk rally. A feature of the
trade yesterday was the increased in
terest in the July. Armour and Bar
rell bought July and sold September
on quite a cree scale. The buying of
the July being based on the bad re-
ports in regard to winter wheat The
small primary movement gives the
bulls a good deal of satisfaction, but 1t
would be a bigger help if there was
any milling demand Of consequence as
a result of the light receipts. Outside
spectators are not trading freely be-
cause of the lack of u broad milling
demand. Pit gossip was to the effect
that the local crowd bought on the
bulge, but sold out and were either
out Of their wheat or short at the close.

Passion Play Lecture.
The famous passion play, given only

third prize, $50; fourth prize, SIS.
The awards are to be made at the
1912 Tri-State convention by Judges
selected by the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college.
The corn entered is to become the
property of the judges. who will auc-
tion it off during the convention.
novel feature of the contest is
That the proceeds of this auction are
to be donated to the North Dakota
Children's home, which cares for the
homeless and orphaned babies of the
state.
The amount should net a neat sum
as the prize winning corn should be
in great demand for seed.
The only conditions imposed are that
the corn entered must consist of ten
ears and be taken from a field of at
least five acres in extent. The idea is
to promote general corn culture rather
than a frenzied effort to grow a few
fine ears on a garden patch.
1t Is anticipated that the banks and
newspapers over the state will readily
cooperate in making the corn contest
a success, as the winning of any of the
prizes will be a greater advertisement
for the localities fortunate enough to
raise the corn than the cash will be
benefit to the successful contestants.
The announcement of the donation
of the prizes by the First National
created great deal of enthusiasm
among the delegates at the convention.
