TWO WORDS!

Much charm may inhere in brief leg
 islative verbiage. By the projected elision of the two words which form the title of this paragraph an attempt was recently made to destroy the po- tenoy of the national pure food law This subversive essay was presented
 before congress as HI. R. 3S99," and
 proposed that a certain paragraph of
 the present law "be and the same is hereby amended by striking out the words 'or vegetable ''
 Now the paragraph thus attacked provides that a food shall be deemed
 adulterated eff it consists in whole or
 in part of a filthy, decomposed or put rid animal or vegetable subStance." Hence the striking out of the words
 "or vegetable" would at once exempt
 from the penalty of the law and thus throw the traffic of the nation open to the filthy, decomposed or putrid fruits, berries, pickles, preserves and canned or prepared vegetables of the crooked canners and others without restriction.
 The author of this delectable and ap- petizing amendment is Representative w. J. Cary of Wisconsin. He did it "by request" Whose request? Repeat ed attempts to elicit this information from MT. Cary have failed. Locked in his faithful and innocent bosom he preserves Gas it were in benzoate of soda) the secret identity of the re- quester. The term innocent is also, in a sense, used ''by request, for MT. Cary would have one infer that he did not appreciate the purport of his bill. When his attention was directed to it's potential effect, he guilelessly responded: "I do not wish to father a bill if it does what you say, and there fore will let it die" So this particular attempt progress abortive-F'rom Col Hers Weekly

 The fish walk is danced entirely on the toes, the body is moved only from the waist downward, the head is held high, and the tempo is pitch ed at a lively gait.

A TOKEN OF ESTEEM
Resolutions Adopted at Union
Meeting to Rev. Deadman.

Following are the resolutions en-
dorsed by unanimous vote at the
Union meeting of all the churches of
the city at the Christian church on
Thanksgiving nightaat,esF 49, }.
As this is the last opportunity of
meeting in public with Brother Roy
E. Deadman it is altogether fitting
and proper that note of that fact
be made The ministers of the sew.
eral churches in Oskaloosa have en-
1oyed both the personal and official
relations that have existed during
the two years of Brother Deadman's
official residence In our midst. AL.
though coming to us from an official
ministry in the east, he has shown
that he both understands and appre.
ciates the more democratic spirit of
the west. He has been a true broth.
er among us.
I'VE, the Ministerial association of
Oskaloosa, desire to place on record
our appreciation of the true brother.
ly spirit that has marked all our re.
lations together. Both personally and
officially these relations have been OF
the most pleasant nature. The harm
onious relations of the churches and
| their united action for every good
cause can be maintained only when
the minister in charge is of that
broad minded and deeply spiritual
nature. We have always found
front of those willing to sink person
Al So 4
action, and unite his strength with
others in presenting a solid front
against the aggressive forces of evil
I'VE tesEify fupher to the hard
personal work that has been a pecu'
liarity of all Brother Deadmans eff,
forts. A distinguishing characteristic
of all Brother Deadman's work is a
tireless gear and an indomitable pur.
pose in the work of the Lorw. We
shall miss him in our councils but we
feel that those to whom he goes will
gain a distinct force in the building
up of the Kingdom of our Lord
We wish him GOdspeed on his way
and every success in his work. We
heartily commend him to the fellow.
ship of the whole body of Christian
people where his work shall lie feel
ing assured that they will find him
what we have proved him to be,-a
man.

was playing about the machine when
Parks drove up to the postoffice and
when he came out and started west
on A avenue the dog followed and
continued to play around the ma
chine and in some manner was
caught; the machine passing over its
head. Veterinary Parker was called
but as there were no chance to revive
the animal it was put to death with
ether. The dog was an April pup
and was of a very fine breed. Mr..
Briggs stated after the accident that
he had turned down an offer of $35
for the dog last week.

Traced by Horse Shoe Print.

Leon, Nov. ga peculiarly shaped
horseshoe may be the means of
bringing Alva Cox, a barber living at
Leon, a deal of bad luck. Cox has
been arrested on charge of having
set fire to joint restaurant and bar
Der shop at Davis City. Cox secured
team from the livery barn at Leon
and drove out of town, according to
j. A. Tracy, deputy fire marshal. Ear
ly the next morning the restaurant
and barber shop at Davis City took
fire. The popping of some tirecrack-
ers awakened citizens living near by
and they put out the fire in time to
discover that the place had been lit
orally soaked in kerosene. Outside,
they found the track of a buggy and
the print of horses feet where an
outfit had been driven close up to the
barber shop. A number of tools and
other things OF value were missing.
The print of the horseshoe on the
right hind foot of the "on" horse
was very peculiar one and the team
was traced by it to Leon. Cox re-
turned his team to the livery barn
at $50 o'clock the morning of the
fire at Davis City. At the prelimi-
nary hearing he did not attempt to
explain his whereabouts during the
time he was gone
