SCHOOL PROPERTY DESTROYED
 FOR UNKNOWN REASON

Some unknown miscreant, whose sense of right and wrong is appar- eutly developed, and whose fu- ture acts will probably at some time place him behind the bars, where he belongs, relievde his spite for some one by throwing stones through i've of the window panes of the room at the public school used by Miss Laloude as a class room. The stones were about the size of an ordinary apple, and had evidently been picked up in the river bed and carried to the place where they were used, as they were smooth and entirely free from dirt.

The Busybody.

In some small towns youu find a man that thinks that he's the Guy: because he sneaks and snoops around and is somewhat on the sly. He gathers gossip all the day, as busy as a bee; and when he meets his tiuicums. rctails it to them free. He gathers all the slime and siush and takes it to his home; and tends to other peoples businses while for. gettiur about his own. As a pop ular politiciau hes nothing but mutt; and people look upon him as the rear end of a butt He sleuths around about the town and from place to place he roams. putting up a bold big front @s a second Sher- lock Holmes. He's a knocker of ey- cry enterprise except where he can rrorit: and is looking for the big gest end to slip into his pocket. This busy Guy in every town is al- ways too well known; he attends t9 everybody's business, and not un- tc his own.

Three Small Filings.
Battle Creek, Mich. A woman seven

covery made at an institution here
The woman is Miss Helen Simons. a
Lansing schoolteacher. A physician
made the discovery a few days ago
when he was lecturing. He took oc
casion to state that few people over
fifty had all their own teeth. He then
asked all I'm the audience who were
over fifty and retained all their own
teeth to raise their right hands. Miss
Simons was the only one.
The incident was so unusual that she
was examined by a number of den
lists. They pronounced her teeth un-
usually good The three small filings
In her teeth were put In more as pre-
ventive than because her teeth were
decayed. She says they were slightly
discolored. and, although there was no
sign of decay, she took the dentists
advice and had them filled. Miss ST.

one Of the pioneer settlers of Lansing.
She is also sister of the late b. f.

storage must be so tagged as to show
the date of production or manufacture
and the length of time held in storage
Drastic antitrust provisions are in
cluded in the measure, providing ex-
treme penalties for agreements by
which 1t is sought to fix buying or sell
ing prices or by which territory is di-
vided among the big dealers. This
section is aimed particularly at the
meat trust, which controls not only the
meat industry, but the egg market as
well.
1t is provided that daily reports shall
be made by packers and storage
houses to the government, showing
stock on hand, receipts and deliveries.
The bill contains maximum penalties
of $4,000 fines and ten years impris-
onment
These periods are provided in the
bill In which food products may be
kept In storage:
Beef or its products. seven months;
veal or its products, two months; pork
and pork products, four months; sheep
or goats. four months; lamb or kids,
three months; poultry and game. three
months; fish. two months: butter. three
months.
One provision which, 1t Is believed,
will protect the public against the pur-
chase of bad eggs and viii force the
price down is that fixing the storage
limit on eggs at three months. 1t Is
provided. however, that eggs may be
stored for six months and placed on
the market after they have been la
belled as seconds"
1t is the contention Of Mr.. McKellar
that 1t has been a common practice to
remove food products from storage
during holiday seasons and then return
them to storage IL they are not sold.
The bill specifically prohibits the re-
turn of any goods to storage after they
have once been withdrawn without
reference to the time they have been In
storage. 1t is provided also that goods
frozen In storage must be sold in a
frozen condition
