lines;
An honest, faithful and devoted
follower, a trustworthy, discreet and
straightforward man, possessed of
strong sense. he filled a position of
great and anxious responsibility, the
duties Of which he performed with
such constant and increasing cares
as TO secure for himself the real
friendship of the queen. TO her ma
/ iesty the loss is irrcparable, and the
death OF this truly faithful and de-
voted servant has been a grievOus
shock to the queen"
Nor was this tribute surprising
considering the high regard Queer
Victoria entertained for the stalwari

duties was such as to not only earn
tho entire confidence, but the friend

Many women are far more

1 think q woman should
have the same liberty as men
to go where she pleases, and
when she pleases; also ex-
press her opinion on any SUBJ

to know where evil lies and
learn to protect herself.

her poor little tongue almost
hung out of her mouth from

Just as the shadows were fall

Moreover the freeing of such
articles as eggs from high
to destroy forever corners in
eggs by which cold storage
people have for years been
swindling us. There will be
no point In putting all tho
eggs in the country into
cold storage until the supply
is scarce and the price too
high for any but the well-to-
do to have them for break
fast, If eggs can come in
from other parts of the
world and break the corner!
This cold storage swindle Is
not the only one which will be
made more difficult, IL not inn
possible, by removing or lowering
the duties on foods.
FREE FOOD rs ONE OF THE
STRONGEST ALLIES OF PURE
FOOD.
Take corn starch, for instance.
The tariff on starch has been high
enough to cut us off largely from
imported starches. 1t has been
high enough to permit a trust to
take possession of all corn prod
ucts. In the last few years the
price of corn starch has largely
increased and its quality de-
teriorated!
Glucose, one of the chief corn
products, has been made to pass
for all sorts of things 1t was NOT,
simply because there was no free
competition to dispute its preten-
sions.
Take the duty from honey and
from corn products and how long
would this form of adulteration
go undisputed?
No pure food bill ever
passed will help so much to
put an end to adulteration
and restore natural food as
free food bill. Lower prices
for food and better quality;
fewer frauds and adultera-
tions-this is the logic of the
Underwood tariff bill. This
is one of the services IL aims
to render the American
woman.
Tomorrow Miss Tarbell, In
her last article, will tell of how
the new tariff bill will affect the
American woman and the clothes
she wears.)

AS you want to hear from
others in regard to dancing
1 will say q few words ON
the subject. Dancing L.
wrong, it is not refining; ii
IL was, our Indians would be
the most refined persons on
earth.
There are just two steps
from the dance hall to the
red light hall, or hell; one
step from the dance hall to
the wine room, one step more
from the wine room to the
crimson way. Dancing al
ways points down, never up.
Did you ever see q person
made better by dancing?
i have been to dances in
nine different states, and
they all look alike to me.
Few men go to them look
ing for y wife, and If they
do happen to marry q girl
who goes to dances. she soon
stops going.
You do not condemn pri-
waite dancing - how about
private drinking, kissing,
spooning, or gambling, ETC.?
1 think anything that Is
wrong i'm public life Is wrong
in our private life. Paul
said, Shun the appearance of
evil.
You forget our lodges, I
guess, when you say, 1How
long would anything be I'm
vogue IL only men were TO
associate with men," etc. The
