PURE FOODS DISCUSSED

Professor Ross of the Pure Food
Commission of Nevada gave out
the, following common sense inter.
view to the Churchill Standard
In speaking of the work of the
commission he said that one great
trouble to contend with was the
people themselves; that many
times when the merchant tries to
place the pure foods on the market
the purchasers will send them back
because the articles are not VIVA ,
they have been accustomed to
gettiT g when, AS Il matter of fact,
the general public has become so
we'll eccustome d to aduiterated food
that aey imagine there is some
thing wrong when the adultera-
tions are eliminated. This is found
to apply particularly in the sale Of
rice which is frequently coated
with substance that is proven to
be injurious simply because it will
keep better.
The use of copper sulphate in such
foods as beans peas, and pickles,
is to lie eliminated after the first
of JaF uary next.
Prof.: Ross says it can be shown
that tie commissions has during
the D. esenC year saved the people
of Nevada upwards of 100000 in
the item of butter alo M, while ,he
appropriation for the work of the
commission is only $4,000. This
estimate is made on the basis of
twenty creameries doing business
in the state (some of them being
conducted outside the state, how
eVer) With an output of % tons of
butter4 per month. At the be-
ginning the product was S per cent
short In weight on ave rage while
now i, averages a little over l per
cent The law allows it to run 2.O8
per cent below. This is a saving
on small scale but the aggregate
is astounding.
The merchants in general, Prof.
Ross states, are adapting themselve
to the requirements of the law and
do npt feel that it imposes the
heavy burden that they fist anti
cipated.
In one locality in the eastern part
of the state it was ound that Sc
per cent of the scales were deficient
but these matters are being correct
ed and much better condition
prevails throughout Nevada.

social Success.

LONDON, Sept. 2S,-The Duchess
of Roxburghe, formerly May Goelet,
has scored a big social success by
getting King George and Queen Mary
to visit the Roxburghe family seat in
Scotland, Floors Castle, for it has
long been known that the queen does
not like Americans.
Floors Castle is generally full OF
them but of course all those whom
the court officials might consider
undesirable" had to be cleared out
before the royal party accepted the
invitation. The duchess has to thank
her husband for his prowess with a
gun, for the privilege of entertaining
royalty. A splendid shot himself King
George will not tolerate powder-wast-
ers when he is out shooting, and it
was the Duke of Roxburgh's fine
shooting that earned him the royal
invitation to Abbeystead, which gave
his wife the opportunity of proferring
their hospitality in return.

Evening.
BULLET IN THE HEART
Murderer, Named James Tucker,
Makes an Effort to Escape, but
OFFICERS Catch Him Near
the Depot.

i
James Towne, colored man who
came to Keokuk recently from st.
Louis to work for the Stone & Web
ster company, was shot and killed
Friday evening at Z o'clock by an
other negro named James Tucker,
who also came to Keokuk recently,
from Louisiana, Mo, it is said. The
shooting took place on the street at
Eleventh and Main, but Towne ran
into a nearby pool hall, where he
sank to the floor and died in a few
minutes. Tucker fired three shots at
Towne, only one taking effect, and
that one entered the left side just be-
low and to the left of the heart. The
bullet ranged upward and evidently
penetrated the mans heart.
Immediately after the shooting
Tucker hurried from the scene He
walked to Ninth and Johnson streets
where he gave his revolver to a negro
resident of Donahue Row, and from
there he headed for the depot. I'm
mediately after the shooting the pc
lice started on search for Tucker
and Officers LIE Fevre and Com
caught him as he neared the depo
and placed him under arrest. Tucke
acknowledged that he was the maj
wanted and confessed to the shooting
He was taken to the city Jail, wher

Trouble Over Gard Game.

Towne and Tucker are said to have
had some trouble Friday afternoon in
a colored club room, where they were
engaged in game of coon can" a
card game said to be popular among
negroes. Towne was known as mute,
but could talk well enough to make
himself understood. The trouble in
the card game is said to have arisen
over the dead mans inability to keep
proper account of the score of the
game, and Tucker is said to have re-
newed the quarrel Friday evening
when the two men met at Eleventh
and Main streets. Tucker is said to
have pulled the gun almost simulta-
neously and began shooting. Towne
ran into the pool hall, as, stated
above, and died Immediately.
Towne quit the Stone & Webster
company Thursday and was prepared
TO start for his home yesterday. He
was known to have considerable
money and that fact was responsible
for the rumor that robbery was the
motive of the shooting. The money
was subsequently located in local
bank. Tucker has also been employ
ed by the Stone & Webster company,
and on evenings has been peddling
hot tamales'' on the streets. He is
small man twenty-three years OF
age.

Yes, ! suppose So
Five per cent would be one-tWen-
tieth. AS each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking little
less than an ounce of alcohol before
each meal
Yes"
But you objected to your mothers
taking alcohol in the Perunas and yet
she was taking far less alcohol than
you We're. AS understand it. the dose
of Peruna is one tablespoonful. Sup
posing it to be twenty per cent alco-
hol. there would be in each dose one
fifth of a tablespoonful of alcohol,
which would be about half a teaspoon
full of alcohol, while you We're taking
at least four teaspoonsful of alcohol
in your bottle of beer. And yet you
objected to your mothers taking Pc
runa on the ground that Peruna con-
tains alcohol. 1t was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her, or at least
helped to. The other ingredients of
! Peruna might have assisted, no doubt

in the beer that cured you of the stom-

of alcohol as is used in Peruna, can
not see where the difference is my

Well" I replied, you have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman are doing. You have al
lowed your mind to become prejudic-
ed against Peruna on account of its
containing alcohol. Without stopping
, to look into the matter at all you
have assumed that there is something

: ever, that most all fluid medicines
! whether prescribed by doctor or put
up as patent medicine contain a
certain amount of alcohol 1t was al
cohol that cured your mother 1t was
alcohol that cured you. In my opin

making more cures than all othel

pany have undertaken to float, indi-.
Gated heavy over-subscription.
The popularity of the A. Wendell
jackson loan is a body blow to the
British foreign office which, welded
to the six powers syndicate, has main
tanned that it would be impossible
for China to raise money except by
accepting the syndicate's ruinous
terms. The liberal press uniformly
condemns the foreign office for sup
porting a group which, as the Daily
News expresses it, has acted through
out in accordance with 'the tradition
of the bloodsucFing money lender"
1t yet remains to be seen, however,
whether the syndicate, backed by the
British, American, French, German,
Russian and Japanese governments,
will not wreck the Jackson transac-
ton by suddenly demanding payment
of floating Chinese obligations it has
scraped together to swallow nearly
all the money China will obtain
