converted these into corned horse. which
was exported to Holland. where horse
meat is regarded perfectly good food.
This industry might have been entirely
legitimate too, had only healthy animals
been used. The inspectors suspected that
other than healthy creatures found their
way into these consignments OF meat and
this was the matter, the proof of which
they wanted to establish.
AS driver of the dead horse wagon our
college-bred thug inspector had every op-
portunity to get inside information. He
soon found that his employers gathered
up the dead horses from all one end OF
New Jersey. He knew this because he
hauled them Wherever a horse died of
violence or disease he hurried to it and
furnished the ambulance that conveyed
it to the packing house. Likewise he
noted that at regular intervals large con-
signments of prepared meat were con-
veyed to the Hoboken dock and shipped
to Holland. He wanted TO establish this
fact that the meat of the horses that
died of disease found its way into the
consignments that were shipped This
would make out a case upon which the
federal government might act.
The coloring matter method was again
resorted to. When the driver of the dead
horse wagon got an order he tipped on
the resting place of the animal in ques
ton to another inspector. That inspec-
tor met him over the carcass and they
injected into it another harmless coloring
matter that could be unqueStlonably lden-
titled wherever it might be again found.
This material was potassium iodide. 1t
remained invisible and its presence could
not be detected until it came into con-
tact with another chemical with which it
reacted making a most vivid color even
when present in only minute quantities.
But these packers got suspicious. The
inspectors had taken into their confidence
local health authority, and either
through stupidity more un-
worthy motives this health officer gave
the packers warning. The inspectors
waited in vain for the shipment. Not
until the meat was placed on board ship
would they have the necessary legal evil
dence that 1t was entering commerce
upon which to secure a conviction. The
meat was not shipped. The packers
were frightened.
The inspectors, knowing that the meat
was in the packing house upon which

vaule to her husband during his fiedgling
days in Indiana politics. She presides
over the mansion in Indianapolis with
ease and excellent poise. She is fond of
reading and her library is the one room
which she disarranged in her Columbia
City home. Neither she nor her husband
could endure the thought Of leaving their
books out OF reach, and the idea of get
ting library books was distasteful. So the
favorite ones, which fill a big corner in
the library, are part of the furnishings of
the Hoosier White House, being shipped
from Columbia City.
AS for fads, Mrs Marshall disclaims
any, unless 1t is her devotion to her home
and its surroundings. She makes a
study Of artistic furnishings. and many
of the beautiful and unique garnitures in
salon and dining room she has fashioned
herself. She is among the women who
have ever loved their thimble and needle
case, and all the higher education and
the distinctive talent for politics have not
lured her from this early attachment.
She is just as partial to her pantry, and
her friends say that few can mix a bet
ter cake or turn out more wholesome
bread and pie. But in this she claims
she Is but child of her environment
Few women Of Indiana are ignorant of
the culinary arts, and the domestic prob
lem has never been acute. Should the
goddess Of the frying pan fail to appear
or get obstreperous. the mistress Of the
home can don an apron and dish up a
banquet fit for a king.
Mrs. Marshall is literary In her tastes
and has belonged to the local historical
and study clubs Of Columbia City and
now to those in Indianapolis. She comes
from good old stock, originally Scotch,
but resident in the Ohio valley for sew
eral generations. She also takes great
pride in the splendid ancestry of her
husband and has collected a lot Of Ntera-

which has remained his home. He bore
good name for legal success, being the
direct descendant of that giant of juris-
prudence and legal knowledge: the first
Chief Justice John Marshall of Virginia,
and from the beginning his fortune
seemed assured.
From the first days of her marriage
Mrs. Marshall was mistress OF an i'm
portant home, and she made it a center
for the best and most intellectual ele-
ment of the country She has rare
reputation for knowing how to provide
the creature comforts and the home IS one
which is more than a mansion, tastefully
and elegantly furnished, and having all
that modern science can offer for con-
Nenience and effect. Mrs. Marshalfs
friends say that she closed this home
very reluctantly to step into the execu-
tive mansion in indianapolis. and that
she and the governor run up to Columbia
City on every possible pretext and re-
open their house for friends.
Since going to the capital Of the Hoosier
state Mrs Marshall has proved the ex-
cellent training which social life in a
thriving middle west town can give for
any position under this republican form
of government Her fathers intimate
connection with the legal brains Of the
state aided her when as a young wife
she was called on to entertain her hus-
bands friends, political as well as per-
sonal and this experience was splendid
preparation for the more onerous duties
In the executive mansion of the state.

Presidents of the United States have

animation of the mill they were able to
determine that the bleaching process was
being used. They followed the flour that
they had seen mlled and bleacled onto
the cars and into interstate commerce
and seized It, They won their case in the
lower courts. but appeal was granted,
and the higher court has not yet acted.
The skilled work of the inspectors is,
however. already on record as evidence.
There are forty inspectors in the en-
ploy of Uncle Sam who are continuously
engaged in running down violators OF the
pure food and drugs act. That law, being
enforced by the bureau of chemistry.
these men are under that bureau and
consequently in the Department >of Agri-
culture. Walter G. Campbell. an active
young attorney-ScientiSt, is the chief. For
some six years now the work has been
progressing and developing. Much has
been said about the vioators of the law
who were and We're not prosecuted, but
little has been said about the men who
produce the evidence upon which suits
may be brought. These forty are the
men who produce that evidence. The
evidence is presented to the pure food
board and with that board rests the de-
cision as to whether not suit shall
be brought. But the inspector has i'm

making the case absolutely good before it
has gone this far
The average case is simpler than
those here related. 1t depends. in the
first place, on esta ablishing deception in
the product. This may ordinarily be
established by the scientist by an ex-
animation of the given sample of the
product. \ very large element in the
enforcement of the law is the analysis
of these samples and a determination
as to whether or not they violate the
act. These examinations also deter
mine whether or not the label on the
product is deceptive Ii it is the law

there is the necessity of proving the
entry into interstate commerce The
difficulty is not as great, ordinarily, as
in the case of the Chicago LIQUOR deal

to be proven. The shipment of an as

A reporter on a paper in New Jersey
was talking with an employe of a meat
packing and taloW-recovering establish
ment that maintained an isolated plant.
The employe remarked that there was
portion of the plant from which the pupiic
and most of the employees were excluded.
The newspaper mans curiosity was
aroused and he visited the establishment
and attempted without success, to go
into the prohibited portion of it, He re-
ported his experience to one of the federal
pure food men. This man was likewise

He called for another inspector and re-

conventions, 1t would seem that high Of
ncial honor and domestic virtue must go
hand in hand. The two candidates for
President and Vice President of the
United States chosen by the republicans
and the democrats are men who have wed
one wife, the love of their youth, and
with whom they still abide in faith and
devotion. Public annals do not contain
prettier love story than that of Presi-
dent and Mrs Taft. They were children
OF people who moved In the same set
and had known each other from their
childhood. When they had finished their
education they were associated at small
and earlies' just as young folks are the
world over. and 1t was before young Will
Taft had completed his term at Yale that
he and his sweetheart came to their first
understanding. Friends say that Miss
Helen Heron, having visited the White
House as the guest Of Miss Mollie Hayes,
being President and that when she prom
ised to marry William Howard Taft, she
also made him promise to be the Presi-
dent-a promise which he has faithfully
executed. The Vice President. James
Schoolcraft Sherman. persuaded his wife
lege three months before she would get
her sheepskin. She was married to him
just about the time she would have been
figuring with the sweet girl graduate.
Woodrow Wilson's love story has a
gay and rolliclung tone. which one would
not easily associate with the grave and
dignified doctor Of laws and philosophy.
He met his wife when she was less than
two years old and in a perambulator.

appeared. weeks later, as egg material
in cans in various bakeries
The detectives were permitted to in
spect certain eggs that were consigned
to the dealer in tanning material. When
ever they went to inspect a consignment
of these eggs they did so with much ad-
vance prepara ton. They carried in their
pockets substitute eggs which they placed
in the squares of certain eggs that We're
to find their way into the dealers es-
tablishment These substituted eggs had
previously been treated with lithium
iodde, valuable because of the colors it
shows in the spectroscope. This material
had been introduced into the egg in
way that appealed especially to the scien-
tific detective. The egg had been so
placed that one end of it was immersed
in this liquid while the other protruded
drawn into the shell without leaving any
mark whatever upon it, The eggs so
treated were placed among the others OF
the consignment. This substitution was
made every day for weeks.
The days that followed were full of eX-
animation of the egg material used by
the bakers of the city in which the big
dealer did business. The suspicion was
that he was handling the product of the
second dealer. If the egg material that
had gone into the first establishment were
found coming out of the second, the case
would be established. The search was
for lithium iodide.
Iithium iodide is an entirely harmless
material, but its presence in the minutest
particles can be detected. In this detec-
ton a spectroscope is used. When the
material containing lithium iodde is view
ed through this spectroscope a certain
very definite color is seen. The ma
terial would, under ordinary circum-
stances, never find its way into such ma
terial as frozen eggs. So would the fact
that II was found in one batch Of frozen
eggs indicate that these were the same
eggs into which 1t was introduced pre-
viously.
The spectroscope revealed the fact that
the introduced chemical was steadily
present IN the eggs that were being used
in the bakers trade in the given large
city. 1t proved that those eggs were
coming from the foul produce that was
being prepared. supposed. for use in the

this illustrious descent figures in Ameri-

eminent patriotic societies, the Sons OF
Cincinnati, the Descendants OF Colonial
Governors, Descendants Of the Signers
of the Declaration. of the Sons OF the
American Revolution and of the Sons
OF 1872.
One feature of Gov. Marshall's ances-
try in which his wife -akes pardonable
pride is the frat. Phi Beta Kappa, which
was founded by John Marshall when he
was a student at William and Mary
College in Virginia. As a young sopho-

Mrs. Marshall has entertained local mem

Columbia City, and. indeed, no one bear
ing the magic Greek letters on a badge
comes to Whitley county without paying
respects and being entertained by the
descendant of the founder. This same
hospitable custom has been kept up in
Indianapolis.
The MarshaIls, though comfortably
endowed as to income. are not rich. and
are entirely modest and unobtrusve In
their amenities. Mrs. Marshall has al
ways subordinated personal ambitions to
her husbands interests, and all her en-
have been those which are
recognized as traditional. She belongs
to several civic clubs In Columbia City in
addition to the literary ones. and has en-
tertained her friends generously and ac-
cording to the rule followed by all. She
has never posed as a social leader and
rather breads such a distinction. She is,
however, recognized as one whose advice
is worth seeking and nearly always worth
accepting.
