as she had been suffering from a

serious nature. She had shown
no unusual conditions until about
ten o'clock Thursday evening,

that it was deemed necessary to
call aphysician and Dr.. Ferguson

A Bachelors Honeymoon
At the Bently Grand Saturday
Evening August 3Oth.

To-day is the day Of the
"problem play Just what
problem play is, is still a
problem. However, the after
effects are usually depressed
feeling about your disposition
and dark brown taste in your
mouth. When the curtain goes
down after the suicidal shot,
although you have expected it
for the last ten minutes, has
shattered your solution of the
question to smitheirnes; when
you rise from your seat, put on
your hat and forget to assist
your partner with her opera
cloak, and then walk out of
the side entrance, not daring to
look your fellow-sufferers in the
face; it is the one best bet that
the current bill is what they call
a problem play.
Shakespeare is still holding
down the boards, but the high
class verdict of the appreciative
few is overwhelmed by the vote
of the groundlings and gallery
gods, who voice their criticism
daring the progress of the play,
with such encouraging remarks
as ''Plpe de guy wild de Marcel
wave" "Git on t de loidy's
Ramona, all Of which of course
add interest to the particular
hero or heroine Of the hour.
The question is, what kind Of a
play will please every ticket
buyer that passes the door,
and also those critical few who
are lucky enough to come in on
"paper"? That clever farcical
comedy "A Bachelors Honey
moon" that is to appear at the
Bently Grand Saturday evening
August Both will answer the
question. See If it don't.

sometime during the absence of
himself and wife, some of those
Il to IA years old boys got into
his apple orchard, and not being
satisfied with stealing all the ap-
pies they wanted broke several
limbs off the trees. Some of the

Bleeched Flour
Upon the Bleaching Of Flour
With Poison


en- from an article written by DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, former chief of
tho bureau of chemistry at Wash
ington. The article was publish
ed in the August number of
Good Housekeeping, and as in
dicated in the article it would be
well for people generally to de-
mand that the flour they use be
kept free from the poisoning pro
cess of bleaching. The Grant
County Milling Company is
among the milling concerns that
have refused to bleach their flour
or mix it with chemicals of any
character. The article is as fol-
lows:
Occa asionally the cause Of progress
and the rights Of the common beople
get a jolt OF serious character. This
was the case when the Supreme Court
ruled that the rohibition of fraud by
the Food and Drugs Act referred only
TO the composition OF the article and
not to the false and misleading state
ments respecting their virtues or pro-
perties. t h 5 unhappy decision
throws wide open the gate to all man
ner of debauchery and deception, es-
pecially in the case of the so-called
patent nostrums. Milk, sugar and
powdered oyster-shells. under this de-
cision, may be advertised as certain
cures for tuberculosis and cancer.
Congress made an attempt to correct
this evil, as | pointed out in the No.
vember number OF Good Housekeeping
but in the hand Of the enemies Of the
pure food bill the Shesley amendment
took form that adds unknown diff
culties, making it necessary to prove
fraudulent intent The committees of
Congress refused to adopt a form Of
amendment which would have put an
an end to the intolerable abuses Of
the patent medicine sharks.
Now comes the FEEDER al Court Of Ap
peas of the ST. Louis district and re-
verses the findings of the district court
and jury, presided over by Judge
Smith MCPHERSON. which two years
ago declared the bleaching of flour I'm
lawful.
FLOUR BLEACHED WITH POISON
For years attempts have been made
to induce the housekeeper to value
-four by the whiteness of the bread it
would make. While one set Of adul-
terators was trying to make butter
more yellow, another was endeavor-
ing to make -four more white. 1t was
not question OF nutritive properties
in either case: it was simply prac-
tice oi deception in the one case by
painting and in the other by bleach
ing. There are several ways Of
bleaching -four: namely, with chlorin.
by the fumes arising from the decom-
position of nitric acid (aqua fortis),
and by the production OF oxids OF
nitrogen by electrifying the air. In
al cases the active principles are
violent poisons, and are SO acknow-
lodged by al! experts. The only de-
fence made by the protagonists of the
process was that these violent poisons
were used in very moderate quantities.
There was no dispute as to the fact.
The whole case, therefore, turned on
the point whether such bleached flour
contained an added poisonous sub.
stance or one deleterious to health,
and whether the use of it allowed the
treated article to be sold for an in.
creased price to the prejudice OF the
consumer.
AS is usually the case the testimony

RUTH HANDS RUMMY
A LINE OF CHATTER
By TAD.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Dear Rum
my: They made no mistake in your
name when they started your fam
lily. OF all the runs I've known you're
farthest south in stupidness.
If the solid bone in your head were
gray matter, you'd be an intellectual
colossus. Whaddayou mean lay off
the Giants when they play Macks
team? l repeat, whaddye mean?
I thought that old bird had some
sense. Say, if he was manager OF
the Giants and refused to put in a
pinch hitter in the ninth as he did
yesterday, he'd be protected only by
the New York State game laws. With
men on bases and one out he lets
Plank and Lapp bat when Davis
Walsh and Daley sat on the old bench
and kept it warm. Nice work, Rum
my! That's what I would call CLASSY.
You know it was soft because you
told me they had the rollers under
Matty, and that he was on his way Ia
the old mems home. Anybody could
hit him. Why, you even said that
Mack might go in and bat if Matty
was on the mound.
