back and neck, presumable by being
struck by moving locomotive.
Two peculiar facts in connection
with the case is that the man left the
County Jail Saturday evening with
Sl6.25, while only one dollar bill was
found in his clothes; the other was the
fact that the engineman on No. 4 or on
any other train going east or west be-
tween the hours of midnight. and two
A. M. did not report having struck
man.
As far as is known no investigation
has been made as to where the man
spent his time from Sunday morning
until midnight, and neither have the
in-going or outgoing train crews been
summoned.
Near the body Chief Kinney found
the mans two brown knit gloves, two
boxes of safety matches and partly
filled sack of Dukes Mixture smoking
tobacco, but after diligent search
neither cigarette papers nor pipe could
be located. His hat was also missing.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels yes

attempt to compel the three amor

furnish steel to the Government at
prices on competitive basis.
Secretary Daniels said he already
had effected a saving Of $500, 49, on
purchases Of steel for battleships by
his insistenee on fair prices. Savings
were effected on an order of struc-

P0uCEWOMEN.
An Old Argument Against Woman
Suffrage Demolished.

Only a little while ago the innova-
tion Of placing women on the police
force was looked upon askance. They
could not exert the necessary brute
force requisite to the calling Of Off
Gals charged with the maintenance
of the peace. They would be sub
jected to indignities Incompatible
with womanhood, aud none but the
most demoralized would undo rtake
the task.
AS time rolls by these views droop
and perish like rose petals in the
hot sun Seeing is believing, and it
has been shown that good and cspa-
bic women can be found for the
work, and that they do their work
we'll. Throughout the length and
breadth of the land the demand for
police-w women is increasing tremen-
douslv, and police chiefs are testify
ing to the helpful value of women
under them.
Women police officers serve a spec
ial need which hitherto has been ne
elected Doubtless, they contribute
most in cases of white slavery. but
to our minds at this summer moment
their gift OF respectable parks and
amusement resorts is of profound
significance. To exclude decent wo-
men and girls from such places and
to make their entrance into them a
mark Of indecency sheds no glory on
the management OF our play places.
By resort to the help Of women
these places are alre ady benefited,
and a stain has been removed from
them which has disgraced many a
city.
That women can accomplish this
without suffering indi ynity and insult
is fact not to b overlooked. 1t
demonstrates a basic chivslry in
men which reasonable encourageme Of
makes conspicuous, and this in turn

Tomato Gamers Warned.

There seems to te a general mis-
understanding ir certain localiti e 2
regarding what constitutes adulter-
alton of canned tomatoes, and for this
reason many may find interesting and
enlightening a repetition Of the De-
partment Agriculture Food Inspec-
tion decision on this subject
The can in any canned food product
serves not only as a container. but
also as an index of the quantity of
food contained. IL should be as full
of food as is practicable without in
juring the quality or appearance Of
the contents. Tomatoes are food
product which may be canned with
out the addition Of any other sub
stance, therefore, the addition Of
water is deemed adulteration. Pulp
has been discovered prepared from
trimmings, cores and other waste
material, which was added to canned
tomatoes. This pulp is not a normal
ingredient of canned tomatoes and is,
therefore, adulteration.
Also. if in the canning of a lot Of
tomatoes, more juice is added than
normally would be present. the same
is considered an adulteration, in the
opinion of the Board of Food and Drug
Inspection. A number OF decisions
have been handed down in favor Of
the United States 10 suits brought
against companies that have shipped
in interstate commerce cameo to-
matoes adultersted with pulp or an
excessive amount Of juice. To pre-
vent any unwilling violation Of the
law By others, who may be ignorant
Of what adulteration of canned toma-
toes is considered to mean, these par
ticulars are once more called to the
pnhlic's attention.
