the DANGERS THAT LIE
IN TOO CHEAP lCE-CREAM.

Mary Heaton Worse, writing an ar
ticle in the July Woman's Home
Companion, tells about the cheap
sweets that child may buy for one
cent and run the risk Of buying sick
hess at the same time. The article
is entitled The Fatal Penny" and
one of the most important passages
has to do with what Mrs. Worse calls
the deadly hoky pOky" about which
she goes on to say:

THE TIME TAFT BROUGHT
HIS FIST DOWN ON THE
TABLE AND SAID HE
WOULD "sHoW THEM.

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
writing his Autobiography in the July
American Magazine, reports some in
terviews he ha d with President Taft
when the famous PayneAldrich Tar
if Bill Of 1909 was under considera-
ton. Following is an extract:
When the tariff bill passed the
House, therefore. after being butter
ly opposed by the House insurgents
as he thoroughly bad measure that
IT was, | felt at liberty to cali upon
the President and talk with him
about 1t. l still had hope that he
would keep faith with the people. He
agreed with me, on that occasion,
that the bill was not a compliance
with platform pledges, and he said
distinctly that unless 1t were thor
oughly overhauled he WOULD veto It.
l suggested to the president that II
was plainly his duty now to trans
NIT a message to Congress making
1t clear that the House bill was in
violation Of the pledges OF the party
and against the public interests.
"WeIl,' said he, 4 don't much be-
lieve in a Presidents interfering
with the legislative department while
1t is doing its work. They have their
responsibility and have mine. And
II they send that bill to me, and 1t
isn't better bill than it is now,
will veto it,
Il suggested that If he remained ST.
lent he would never find himself
able, after the record was made up,
to tum about and fall upon Congress
with a veto. His answer came back
quick and stroug:
"'You and your associates in the
Senate go ahead, criticise the bill,

ter it hard. will keep track of your
amendments. | will read every word
of the speeches you make, ard when
they lay that bill down before me, I'm

and he brought his fist down on
the desk with a thump to emphasize
the firmness of his purpose.

dent, but l predict that when it pass.
