THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
ILLUSTRATING A THEORY

as the money came from my mother
and from her mother before her
never was supported by a man, dear
But what of the theory when Wo-
man Is ill?" asked frail girl who had
taken no part in the discussion.
'Fhat does complicate matters, said
Jane But, then. 1t is no harder for
a woman to support herself when she
is i'll than for a man to pay his way
during illness. / must admit that

or not. no mora dependence for mel"
Just then the doorbell rang AND. Jane
admitted Mrs. Jack Ellis-the girl to
whom her old lover had turned when
James mind had fixed itself upon eco
nomlcs rather than upon a trousseau.
She wasn't nearly so pretty as Jane,
but she looked like one who had al
ways been petted-and always would
be.
Take off your big hat, Flossie,"
said Jane. "Then lean back in the
cushions, and rest"
Indeed, I'll not take off my hat"
declared the newcomer. I'm not near
ly so pretty with it off. And, anyway,
I'm proud of it, because / earned it,"

Yes coosd F1ossie. But / couldn't

Whatever are you talking about %
asked Jane.
.Why," explained Flossie, 'the doc
tof kept advising an operation, but 1
couldn't bear to have it. Finally,
however, 1 agreed. As Jack and l
were going to the hospital he asked if
there was anything he could get to
make me comfortable or happy. Well,
of course, / thought of this hat with
its threy big plumes; I'd been longing
for it for weeks. but thought we could
not afford it. That seemed my chance,
so l told him about it. And instead of
going straight to the hospital, we
drove around and ordered it held until
l should be out again. Then l went
and had the operation like a good girl,
as Jack said. So that is the way
earned it,"
L am sure that Jane is delighted
with your story" said Ethel. "She
has been telling us of her theory that
every woman should earn her way.
However, l do not think l should
choose appendicitis as means of self
support.

AS you like" said Jane. But it is
at yGUr own risk. You see, I'm happy

ROOSEVELT DIFFERS FROM TAFT

Colonel Roosevelt, in his address to
the Ohio constitutional convention,
the other day, supports the recall Of
judges which President Taft so OPP
posed in the case of Arizona.
Roosevelt says a Judge must not do
anything wrong because there is a
popular clamor for it, but must follow
his conscience even though to do so
costs him his place. ON the other
hand, he says the people must follow
their conscience and when they have
decided on given policy they must
have public servants to carry out that
policy. This undoubtedly means that
the courts should uphold the laws as
enacted whether free from defects or
not. and that if the judges do not do
so that they should be subject to the
recall in order that they may be re-
moved and others more in accord with
the desires Of the people chosen in
their place.
There is no doubt Roosevelt's posi-
tion is the popular one. but there is a
deep question involved as to whether
the result Of such a law would not
make the courts more subservient to
popular clamor than to justice.
His position toward the republican
party Is shown by his use of the term

CIDER VINEGAR FOUND TO
BE GENERALLY DOCTORED.
Report of Tests by Connecticut Agri-
cultural Station.

New Haven, Feb. pa report on
food products and drugs has just been
issued by the Connecticut Agricultural
station at New Haven, being the six
teenth in the series. The station Is
authorized to get samples OF foods and
drugs at its discretion, test them and
report for the general information of
the public. These reports of the facts
continued from year to year has been
more effective than any other thing in
checking fraud in the manufacture and
sale Of food products. The good old
times are past when over 80 per cent.
Of the ground coffee sold in the state
was adulterated, when a baking pow
der containing 25 per cent. tale was on
the shelves Of many grOcers uncon-
scious of the fraud, when Zanzibar
carbon made by the natives of that
heather land and shipped to the Unit
ed States to give hams a delectable
flavor and color (as explained in adver-
Using circulars), was found to contain
about rs per cent. of salt with some
Bismarck brown ian aniline dye and
was evidently the work Of heather in
the home missionary field.
The later reports. because of the dis
appearance from Connecticut of most
OF these picturesque frauds, are per-
ones. Scandalously adulterated foods
are not at all common in the state and
inferior mixtures are generally so Ia
beled that the careful reader of the
label may know what he is getting.
Misbranding is very common, how
ever, in the way of making exaggerated
claims of purity and strength which
the stations analyses at once disprove.
Thus, we read on the label Most Of
the fat has been eliminated" and the
stations comment regarding the goods
