Food Inspection.

last week calling on the grocery
stores, meat markets, bake shops
and restaurants.
The sanitary laws require all
food places to keek clean places,
and the display in stores of dried
fruits, butter, cheese, candies,
bakery products and pickles, lard,
fish in barrels, must be kept COW
cred, protecting them from DUST
flies and running rats and mice.
The dust of the street is OF the
filthiest kind by chemical analys-
is. 1t is shown that 80 per cent
is nothing but horse droppings,
says the inspector.
The work of the department is
endorsed by nearly all the deal
ers, says Mr.. Kleinhans, and it
is the policy of the department
to enforce the law. There is no
excuse not to keep clean and not
keep scales in perfect working
order and in balance.
The weight and measure laws
protect the honest merchant
against the crooked dealer who
gives short weight and measures,
and the food laws protect the
consumer and see that they get
what they pay for and that the
goods are manufactured and la
beled in compliance with the
laws.
Under the weight and measure
laws measures" cannot be used.
Potatoes, apples, onions, beets'
sweet potatoes, etc. must be sold
by weight. The measure can
only be used where it is agreed
to by the customer.
The law provides for the fol-
lowing weights per bushel; Po-
tatoes 90 lbs; apples 4S lbs; sweet
potatoes so lbs; peaches 4S lbs;
parsnips so lbs; carrots SO lbs;
turuips IS lbs. For example UNI
der the law the customer is buy
ing a peck of potatoes is entitled
to is lbs. net weight.
AT Lawrence, II out of2l deal
ers gave short weight in selling
potatoes. Some of them were
as much as 3 IL pounds to the
peck short, and the milk man on
| ly put 40 per cent water in his
| milk.
A great number of proSecu-
lions have been made over the
state by the department.
At Claflin, where short weight
-four was sold, a fine of $500 was
imposed. AT Paxico a party
skinned a fat steer that had died
the night before and sold the
carcass toa butcher. The man
that sold the carcass to the butch
er was fined $3.50, and the cost OF
prosecution. At Allen, Kas.,
several dealers were fined 500
for selling rotten eggs. AT Clay
Center a landlord was fined 500
for running a filthy hotel. The
inspector had a fine of $500
placed on the Atchison ice man
who was giving short weights,
rand the butcher got SIS for sell
ing short weight meats, and the
butter man for selling less than
16 ounces for the pound, $4,000.
At Russell, an apple dealer
was fined $50 for selling less
than 4s lbs. of apples to the bu.
UNLESS you stop to figure
what these shortages amount to
in butter, potatoes, meats, ETC.,
ron will not realize the impOr-
lance of our work" said Mr..
Klsinhans. For instance, if a
miller having a capacity of 1000
barrels of -four per day should
short weight his Hour a half
pound to every 24 pound sack,
he would beat the consumer out
of 4, 900 pounds every day. That

Dietz Given Life Sentence

i
John F. Deitz was on Saturday
found guilty at Hayward, Wis, of
murder in the first degree for shooting
and killing Oscar Harp, denied a new
trial and sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary at
Waupun. The sentence provides that
he shall spend the 9Th day of October
each year in solitary conference.-the
Wisconsin statutes demand this.
Mrs. Deitz and Leslie we're found not
guilty. Judge Reid granted Dietz ten
days in which to give notice of ap-
peal and frame proper motion.
Upon hearing the verdict Dietz was
for time dazed and unnerved but,
recovering. himself, he remarked:
"What more could I expect in this
hole of Sawyer county? We will
smile, though. I suppose that if am
selected as the sacrifice to the lumber
trust I can stand it as we'll as anyone.
1t had to be somebody. I am going
to smile through it all. 1t is we'll that
my wife and boy we're not convicted.
I never fred a shot at Oscar Harp,
and my family never did. 1t was
frameup to get me, and I am glad my
family escaped. fought for their
rights, defended their property, and l
am willing to stand the burden of this
trouble. It will be hard for them if I
finally lose out, but they will have
what little money I have. I am not
through, though, and I may yet beat
this frameup.''
1.-The whole thing is an outrage"
said Mrs. Deitz, as the spectators left
the court. "We have been prosecuted
ever since we came to Sawyer county.
We never had a chance. Why, I be-
lieve that jury was composed of our
enemies entirely. I never had any
part in the shooting of anyone, but
anything we did in defense of our
home was right. We we're told that
there was an awful gang here, but we
never thought they we're quite this
bad"
Leslie remained silent but Almyra
gave her version of the whole affair
in no uncertain terms.
Dietz has decided to appeal his
case to the supreme court in an effort
to get new trial and save himself
from serving life sentence in the
penitentiary.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness. hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dopsy, deposits in The urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

When Poe Got ssExcited.,,

When Poe Got ssExcited.,, =,
The manuscript letter Of Edgar Allan
Poe which sold for s1.7OO recently
probably would not have brought SC

most interesting reference to his drink.

poet and story writer has been de.
famed as a drunkard-not exactly q
common drunkard, however. The nv.
erage person even now, if he knows or
thinks he knows anything about Poe.
will remark. Eyes, poet, but he was
a terrible drunkard."
In recent years much research has
lifted this stigma, at least in mart
from Poe's name and fame. Poe Seems
not to have been a habitual drunkard
IN any sense. Had he been so he could
not have turned out the large volume
OF literary work which he left behind
him when he died at the early age of
forty. There is popular poet" whose
acquaintance declare that he does his
best work when he is intoxicated. but
his best work is so far below the worst
OF Poe's that it is not to be considered.
No man whose brain is poisoned nv
liquor can write great poetry in that
condition.
In the letter mentioned Poe writes:
"The desire for society comes upon me
only when I have become excited by
drink. Then only I go-that is. at
those times only have I been in the
practice of going among my friends,
who seldom, or, in fact, never, having
seen me unless excited, take it for
granted that 1 am always so. Those
who really know me know better"
If Poe really never appeared in So
c1ety except when he was ''excited' it
is but natural that the erroneous i'm.
preston that he was always full"
gained currency. Most of his time. Of
course, was taken up in writing his
wonderful tales, his marvellous poems
and his caustic criticisms. Slowly but
surely the world is coming around to
the point of understanding that this
famous poet was by no means a COM
mon carrier Of rum, but occasionally
got "excited," just as do some lesser
bards of today. If he had only been
able to ride the water wagon as faith
fully as he rode his Pegasus he would
have reached the Hall of Fame earlier.

Postal Savings Banks Successful.
According to a report issued by the
postoftice department., the postal saw
ings banks already have made good"
Last January the government opened
forty-three Of these banks in small
towns with the purpose Of testing the
value Of the new notion. The report
shows that for the first two months of
operation there were 1928 depositors
and the amount deposited was $780,
1863. It is estimated that if the savings
bank system were extended to all the
money order postofices in the country
the deposits for the first year would
reach $2OO.O0O,00O. and it is believed
that later on, as the people become ia
miliar with the system, a still larger
aggregate would be shown.
The official report shows that the
bulk Of the deposits is made by farm
ers and miners who are not in close
touch with ordinary banking facilities.
1t was feared by bankers, during the
long fight for the establishment of the
postal savings system, that the inno-
walton would cause people to with
draw their deposits from the regular
banks and put them in the postoffices,
but now the bankers in the vicinity Of
the towns where postal savings banks
have been opened admit that their
business has not suffered. 1t appears
that most of the money deposited in
the postofices is cash that previously
was boarded at home or squandered
The plan seems to have appealed to a
great many persons who heretofore
used no banking facilities whatever.
That the postal savings bank system
induces toward thrift is not to be de-
MED. Congress has appropriated $780,
600 for the extension Of the system,
and in time, no doubt, all money order
offices will have banking adjuncts, 50
that it will become second nature, so
to speak, for many thousands Of citi-
zens to make a deposit while at the
Office buying stamps or getting mali.

Seventeen-Year Locusts Due.
Farmers or others who feel any trep-
tdation at the coming of the army Of
seventeen-year locusts, whose advance
guard is reported in Oklahoma, should
write to the department of agriculture
in Washington for free information as
to how plague of the pests can be
avoided in any locality. The govern
ment experts have made an exhaus-
tive study of the seventeen-year visit
ors since their last arrival, and all the
data they have gathered are at the dis
posal Of the farmers.
It has been discovered that the To-
Gusts, which belong to the grasshopper
family, breed throughout the great
plains region, in river bottoms and
sunny depressions chiefly. Late and
early blowing is the remedy prescribed
to destroy the eggs and young. Ap-
parently the remedy has been used
with good effect. because the experts
tell US that no general outbreak of
locusts is probable this year. Locally,
however, the pests may do much harm
unless vigilance is exercised.
Several serious plaques of locusts
have been experienced in this country.
In 1856 there was a notable one, and
in 1874 the seventeen-year bugs ar
rived in great force and stayed three
years. practically devastating the
whole agricultural region between the
Mississippi and the Rocky mountains
In 1874 and again in 1876 Kansas had
visitations Of grasshoppers. about
fourth cousin to the genuine locust
The hoppers ate up every green thing
in sight. Old timers in Kansas still tell
thrilling tales of the grasshopper hosts,
some Of which sound like highly imag-
NATIVE fiction to those who never saw
a swarm Of these early aviators flying
like dense cloud and alighting where
they could do the most good for them
selves and the most damage to the
farmers. They were not much for alti-
tude, but they knew how to land with
out hurting themselves.
If you happen to observe any locusts
get busy and go after them promptly.
Uncle Sam will tell you how if you
care to write to him.

Memorial Day. 1911.

There is every likelihood that Memo
rial day this year will be observed
with a greater degree of interest upon
the part of the public than ever it was
before. The war began fifty years ago.
Most persons are fond Of celebrat-
ing anniversaries. A semicentennial is
more interesting than a centennial for
the very obvious reason that a consid-
cradle number Of persons who took
part in the event to be observed are
still alive fifty years afterward, while
In the case Of hundredth anniversary
posterity alone does the celebrating.
Fifty years from now not one veteran
of 1861 will be alive There will be. of
course, a centennial celebration of the
beginning Of the civil war, which re-
suited in the unifcation Of the nation
and accelerated its march toward per-
manence and greatness. But the cele-
brants Of chief interest then will be
merely the survivors Of the younger
generation who take part in this years
observance Of the semicentennial.
Both north and south, by the blue
and by the gray, the Memorial day Of
1911 will have thrill for the new gen.
Grafton and pathos for the old. Thou
sands of veterans on both sides still
survive. They are old and feeble, most
OF them, and many Of them will &C.
cept the carriages in the parade to the
cemeteries, which in previous years
they have spurned for the weary
march afoot. Many, many graves will
be decorated which contain the bodies
OF men who marched in last years pa
rade. The addresses at the graveyards
or in the public halls will be more in
timately reminiscent than Of yore and
by the same token more pathetically
prophetic of the passing of the veter-
ans, the dropping out Of line from year
to year, the thinning ranks, the Memo
rial day to come when only the sons
and grandsons of the veterans will paw
the floral tribute.
"Morituri salutamus"-we who are

will be the services at the graves this
