Food Laws as Campaign Issues.

Upon the initiative of Mr.. Wilson,
the Democratic committee is organic
ing a national campaign for pure food
laws throughout the country. Accord
ing to the Democratic Presidential can
didate, the platform of his party is the
strongest. the most direct. and explicit
on the question of public health and
pure food, and he expects to make the
question of the proper regulation of
both of these leading questions one of
the principal features of his campaign.
1t is quite easy to get at the cause
of DR.. Wilson's sudden determination.
Ever since Mr.. Roosevelt's recent at
tack upon DR.. Wiley, stating that he
(Roosevelt) alone was responsible for
the Federal pure food and drugs act.
the eminent food expert has sworn to
show up" Roosevelts Justification of
facts, as he calls it. He has concluded
to go on the stump and deliver series
Of food talks that will make the people
sit up and take notice, and incidentally
get square with Teddy.
1t seems evident that Mr.. Wilson
has known how to make the most of
this opportunity.

That is only possible when all re-

HAY FEVER
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of eat Good Old siwash."

Hay fever is thirty-day Marathon be-
tween the eyes and the nose. It is list
ed as a disease. but is really an occu-
patton. and is INDUCED In by thousands
Of citizens who retire into a handker-
chief in August and do not emerge until
frost arrives.
Hay fever is neither more serious nor
more pleasant than red pepper in the
face. It acts like a cold or rather like
three colds and an onion. There are two
degrees of hay fever, viz: One-handed
and two-handed. One-handed hay fever
can be attended to with one hand. thus
allowing the patient to transact light
business with the other, but two-handed
hay fever takes his entire attention and
he is usually behind orders. at that.

promptness. visiting each victim on a GER

be perfectly well and approachables by
book agents until the nth of August at
p. m. but he knows all the while that
when the clock strikes four he will
suddenly emit a speeze which will be
registered on the nearest seismograph.
and that in ten minutes more he will be
a biear~eyed wreck who is likely to bite
his dearest friend.
There is no cure for hay fever. and
the only relief is flight. In August the
trains are full of red-eyed and Dubious

While the layman has come to re-
gard the sustained and swift cross
country flight as the one kind that con-
stitutes fair test of the practical value
of the aeroplane, We cannot but be
thrilled by such feats as are performed
by Vedrines.
We know that all Americans, despite
the setback to our ambitions, are glad
to confess our admiration for the dar-
ing Frenchman whose absolutely ter
rife speed, attained by machine which
he had every minute under perfect con-
troll, surprised and enthused the vast
multitude that witnessed the race at
the Chicago aviation field.

frequently is overcome with doubt as
to whether man ever shall succeed in
conquering the air for serviceable and
practical ends. But quick recovery fol-

last triumph may crown the efforts in

where are we at?' This celebrated
question was asked by Southern
statesman when a debate was some
what befuddled in Congress some few
years ago. /.
1t could be repeated on much more
vital issue to-day. one that is affecting
the morals and home life of the coun-
try.
It is an everyday occurrence to pick
up the daily paper and see stories of
"afinities," men and women who have
transgressed the laws of society, as
well as the law, while divorces are so
common they excite no comment. The
career of Ferdinand Pinney Earle, as
scattered broadcast through the public
press, illustrated with pictures of him.
self and his different Soul mates" is a
good example of the effect on the pub
lie mind Of such an unnatural and
pernicious life
There was a time when the whole
some teachings of our mothers had an
influence, when the home influence was
felt after the fedglings had left the
nest, and there are still some that are
considered by many as "old-fashioned"
who believe as our revered parents did.
Granting that woman has the same
rights as a man, that they can do the
same things as man, can smoke, take
a cocktail, ride a horse astride, and
such things that were once considered
as purely in mans province, yet the
doing of these things have a tendency
to bring the good woman down to the
level of the company she is in, to make
the telling of risque story in mixed
company common matter. We dis
cuss eugenics with our children; they
are allowed to read almost any novel
they can get their hands on, and are
allowed Liberties former generations
were strangers to.
A return to the "old-fashioned" ideas
of Our mothers, to the time when the
conventionalities were observed, might
be looked upon as a step backward by
the fast set of to-day, but to the think
ing man or woman who still believes
in the sanctity Of the home and home
life it would help to re-establish
purity that is sadly lacking in many
families in this the twentieth century.
