FREE LUNCH UNDER LAW.
Pure Food Regulations Applied to
Saloon Counter Provender.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. August g.
Patrons of the free lunch counters here
are apt to. go hungry unless they can
persuade the dispensers Of refreshments
to go to a great deal more trouble in the
protection and upkeep OF their foodstuns
than they have taken heretofore. The
secretary OF the city board OF health yes
terday received a communication from
member OF the state board OF health de-
cIaring that the lunch counter comes I'M
der the provisions OF the pure food laws.
and hence must be screened and provided
with individual knives, forks and spoons.
Some of the saloonkeepers are crying
out against what they declare to be
hardship: others, however. apparently are
pleased with a requirement that is held to
render the lunch counter prohibitive, and
thus do away with a considerable item OF
expense.

MAY GRACE
 THE WHITE HOUSE

Under a group of three extremely pret- ty photographs which appeared in the Milwaukee Sentinel a few days ago, was a pertinent comment. The three photo- graphs pictured Mrs. Albert Cummins, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. oscar Underwood. The comment ran lhus: While the various candidates. both dem ocratic and republican, are bustling for votes to secure delegates in the respec- tive conventions, their wives hopefully plan for the day when they may be them selves honored as First lady of the land.' Three of these are Mrs. Albert B. Cu1nmins. wife of Senator Cummins of Iowa: Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of New Jerseys chief executive. and Mrs. Oscar Underwood. wife of Representative Un- derwood of Alabama"
 In the Boston Post three large photo- graphs are again in evxidence, picturing the wives of the democratic favorites, and beneath may be read the following:
 The social set of the capital these days is speoulating on possibilities as to rhe next mistress of the White House, par ticularly with regard to democratic vic- tory
 In this case the choice may rest among three women, widely known in the section of the country where they live. These women are Mrs. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey Mrs. Judson Harmon of Ohio and Mrs. oscar Underwood of Alabama.
 Each has gifts and a personality emil nently fitted for this high position. Mrs. Underwood is Congressman Underwood s second wife. Her home is in Birming- ham. and she studied music at Cincinnati and Boston and is an accomplished muSi- clan and singer.
 Mrs Judson Harmon. wife of Ohio's governor and former judge, has been in public life many years. She is one of the foremost advocates of temperance and recently has become much interested in prison reform.
 Mrs. woodrow Wilson is a student of economics and government and helped her husband, late president of Princeton university, draft reform scheme in New Jersey. She is painter and encourages young art students to come to Lyme. Conn. and study where the treasures of her husbands summer home may be available.
