 His Reasons
WILL CHAMPION THE
 CAUSE OF PURE FOOD
May Accept Position as Editor of Household Magazine-Taft Re- grets Resignation = Wilson
 Says Was Valuable Man

Washington, March 15.-Dr. Wiley left the laboratories of the bureau of chemistry ght-where for a9 years he had been chief chemist-no longer government official, but determined to champion the cause of pure food from the ranks of the people.
 Friction with his superiors and ir- reconcilahle differences of opinion as to the enforcement of the pure food and drugs act, were the reasons given by Dr. Wiley for handing his resigna ton to Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture.
 To Fight for Pure Food
 Dr. Wiley will devote the remainder of his life. according to a statement issued by him today, to the promo tion of the principles of civic right eousness and national integrity which underlie the food and drugs act, and hopes that 1t may be administered in the interest of the people at large instead of that of comparatively few mercenary manufacturers and dealers"
 President Taft expressed regret at the resignation. Secretary Wilson said pr. Wiley had been "a valuable man."

MANAGER McGREER SAID
VICTIM OF SPITEW0RK

Allegations of bigamy, made on the
Coast against Robert r. McGreer,
manager of the Liberty Theater here,
are declared by Mr.. McGreer and his
friends to be a case of spite-work on
the part of a woman who calls herself
Mrs. Florence Blake McGreer and who
at present is living in California.
The Coast papers arriving today give
detailed accounts of suit for divorce
filed in the Superior Court of San
man calling herself Mrs. McGreer..
Friends of the theatrical manager here
will remember that six months ago he
welded Miss Ollie Sherlock, member
of the Hughes company.
The accounts of the Coast papers
differ materially, and McGreer's friends
say that the suit brought for divorce
was largely to ."hold up" the manager.
The Coast advices say that the news
of McGreer's marriage was brought to
San Francisco by Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
Edwards, theatrical people, and Mrs.
Florence King, Mrs Edwards mother.
Mrs King is given as Miss Sherlock's
mother, in one paper, while in another
Mrs Edwards is said to be the mother.
The Mrs. McGreer who has filed the
divorce suit declares that she married
McGreer on April %. 1905, and that
there is a siX-year- old son, for whose
custody she is asking.
Mr. McGreer has placed the matter
in the hands of attorneys here, stating
that the case is very plainly one of
blackmail or spitework.
Proofs have been forwarded to San
Francisco showing that the records of
marriages at Manila where this wo-
man says we were married, contain no
record of any ceremony" he said to-
day. The truth is simply that this
woman, whom l knew in the Orient. is
doing this for spite-work."

RATHER STRIKES
PROSTATE MAN

. STOCKTON, CAL. July s.. - Jack
Monroe, travelling salesman, was Bit
ten by a rattlesnake here today. He
rode into the country five miles north
of town and rested under fig tree.
After eating few figs he fell asleep
in the shade of the tree.
He was awakened by something
crawling over his face. He was hor-
rified upon seeing a rattlesnake coiled
upon his breast. The snake moved its
head slowly back and forth. The rat
ties hummed through Monroe's head,
as he afterward expressed 1t, like a
thousand bass drums" For fully Is
seconds the. snake lay coiled, as
though waiting for him to move
Monroe struck at the RATHER with
his right hand and the snake buried it's
fangs in his flesh. He sucked the poi
son from the wound and then hailed a
passing automobile. The driver hur-
ried him to the emergency hospital
and prompt attention undoubtedly
saved his life.

BREAKS Up A COLD
IN SEVERAL HOURS

There is not one grain of quinine
In Pape's Cold Compound, which,
when taken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up the most severe cold, either in the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle headache, dullness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneez.
ing, sore throat, running of the nose,
catarrhal affections, soreness, stiff
ness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of three years research at a cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no quinine, which we
have conclusively demonstrated is n
effective in the t. eatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this he .mless Compound as
directed, with he knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as
sistance or bad after-effects as a g.
cent package Of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in tho
world can supply.
