Reducing the Cost of Living.

Congressman Buchanan of Texas
has introduced bill to repeal the tax
on oleomargarine. The bill repeals
the tax of quarter of cent a
pound on uncolored, and ten cents on
the colored article, and transfers the
manufacture and sale from the super
vision of the internal revenue bureau
to that of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture. 1t provides for the packing OF
the product in original sealed pack
ages, plainly labeled. Violators of the
law are subject to fine and imprison-
ment.
This is the place for the dairy in
terests to rise up and denounce Con-
gressman Buchanan, and all who sym
pathize with him, for their "dastardly
attempt to strike down great Amer
lean industry" Rest assured they
will not miss the opportunity. They
will raise such clamor, through theii
organs and lobbyists, that Congress
will not hear the sighs of the millions
Of the poor, to whom butter has be-
come memory OF their youth. But
it has ever been thus. Remove
everybody's privilege but ours. OuI

and we cannot live without it.

Purifying Water for Drinking
Purposes.

Several requests have been made
recently for the simple but sure
method OF rendering drinking water
supply safe that is suspected of con-
tamination.
Evidently the first thing to be done
is to search out and remove the
source OF contamination. But this is
not always easily nor quickly done,
and in the meantime it is often found
advisable or even necessary to use
the water.
In that case the following very sim
pie and inexpensive method of purifi-
cation can be used with absolute as
surance of it's efficacy:
Take one teaspoonful of chloride of
lime. Remove the excess of the pow
der by rolling pencil over spoon.
Dissolve lime in one teacup of water,
stirring until all Jumps are dissolved.
Add three more cups of water and
place solution in tightly stopped bot
tie, or well-sealed Mason fruit jar.
This stock solution will keep for four
days, at the end of which period a
new solution should be made up. In
using, add one teaspoonful of this
milky solution to two gallons of the
water to be purified and stir well. Let
stand at least two minutes. If used
in the above proportions the water
will be without taste or odor, while
the free chloride present Gone half
part to one million parts of water)
will effectively destroy all typhoid
and similar bacilli, including those
causing dysentery and similar
troubles.
This method of treatment is so ef-
fective that water to which living ty-
phoid bacilli had been added, on be-
ing treated with the chlorine of lime
solution, as above suggested, always
showed the same results, i.e., the com :
plete destruction of all living germs.
This treatment can be easily applied
to wells and cisterns. The number OF
cubic feet in the we'll can be easily
estimated by determining the diameter
of the we'll and the depth of the water
A cubic foot of water is about six and
one fourth gallons. For every sixty
thousand gallons Of water use one
pound Of chloride Of lime. Dissolve
the lime in bucket of water and
pour into the we'll. After the addition
OF the lime solution the water in the
we'll should be strongly stirred.
In the case Of wells and cisterns
evidently this treatment win be Of.
fective only when the sources Of con

at ALL" But notwithstanding this om-
inous silence, there's deal of think
ing among both regulars and pro-
gressives on the paramount question,
"What- shall we do-to VIM"
Speaker Champ Clark has been
holding conferences with the chair
men and some members of the com
mittees that report appropriation
bills, with a view to holding the ag-
gregate of appropriations well within
the estimated revenues. Like the
good Democrat that he is, Clark be-
lieves in carrying out the Democratic
platform pledge to administer the
government economically. OF course,
every Democratic member of the
Missouri delegation will stand by him
in this.
There was large attendance, last
week at the Road Builders Congress
at Philadelphia. Judge Shackleford
made speech that called forth con-
siderable comment. not all favorable.
The Roads Committee of which
Shackleford is Chairman, has closed
its hearings after listening to num-
ber of good roads advocates, includ-
ing Gov. Major of Mo-, and numerous
authors of road bills. The formula
tion of general bill to be reported
to the House is we'll under way.
The tentative plan to equalize rep
resentation on the National Republi-
can Convention and prevent Southern
domination is, to allow four delegates
at large to each State, and one addi-
tional for for every 10000 votes cast
at the last elections of President and
Vice President. This would material
ly decrease the number from southern
states and increase the number from
the northern and eastern. There will
be lively "scrap" before the plan is
adopted.

Preaching Panic.

Evidently the Republicans are not
to defeat the currency bill. They are
only trying to discredit it by talking
of the evils it is to bring about. They
are under strong suspicion of deliber-
ately campaigning to destroy business
confidence, to generate distrust in
financial circles, in other words, to
bring about a panic. This is despic-
able politics. One would think that
such thing was beneath the dignity
of man with the reputation of Elihu
Root. The appeal to the fears and
provisions of the silver campaign in
in 1896 is being made again. Hard
times are being made harder by such
tactics. Men who will in cold blood
and as matter of set policy go tc
work to bring about a business panic
wrecking fortunes, thowing the pool
out of work, destroying Investments
are as much traitors to their country
as If they made war upon it at the
head of an army Reedy's Mirror.

When he attains the age of sixteen

up at the bottom two furlongs above

noisy socks with purple background

craveth for an automobile that he
may ride her forth in the spring time.
He scattereth his pin money like a

sitteth up at night to write poetry
