son too would 90 scot free. At this
hour of writing the case is in the
hands of the jury.
The argument advanced by Mr.. An
derson in behalf of Mr.. WOodsOn was
a master piece of legal ingenuity. The
defense set up by Mr.. Anderson in
Mr.. WOodsOn s favor was based on the
doctrine of "self-defense," decision
after decision being cited to the jury
by Mr.. Anderson TO the effect that the
law of Illinois and elsewhere was IA
vOrable to Mr.. WOodson. Mr.. Ander-
son spoke elOquently in Mr.. Wood
son s favor for over two hours.
The alleged murder took place at
$500 LaSalle street on June 18th, the
victim being Sam Coleman, who was
supposed to be infatuated with Mrs.
Woods, and who was jealous of Mr..
WoOdson, a boarder in the house at
the time of the homicide.
Mr. Anderson made a great record
in this ease and his fame as a trial
criminal court lawyer is we'll known.

Our object in giving the above ex-
tract from the pure food law of Texas
was not so much to call attention to
the exeellency of this particular law,
for nearly every state in the Union
now has an efficient and carefully
drawn set of pure food laws, so as to
call attention to the lack of honesty
that makes such laws necessary. Does
it not seem a little bit strange that
among those engaged in making and
selling food >prOducts there should be
so much dishonesty of the kind that
destroys health and makes for disease
and suffering7 And yet it must be ad-
mitted that this sort of dishonesty does
exist. The proofs are to be found in
the records of our courts from the su-
preme tribunal of the United States
down to the municipal courts in all
our important eenters of population
throughout the land. In spite of the
efforts of health officials and food in
spectors, there are dirty food products
everywhere. Sometimes it is dirty
methods in the manufacture; again it
is adulteration with inferior and dan
gerous ingredients put in to reduce
cost to the maker and to increase his
profits. Sham, shoddy, substitution
and subterfuge, these are the stand
ards of the dishonest makers and ven
doris of off-color articles of food. They
care not one whit how much harm may
be done as a result of their crooked
methods, so long as their rascality is
not discovered.

HEALTH HONESTY.

The Texas pure food law says that
a food product is adulterated eff il
consists either in whole or in part OF
a filthy, decOmpOsed or putrid animal
or vegetable substance, or any portion
of an animal or vegetable unfit for
food, whether manufactured or not, OF
il it is the product of a diseased ami
NAL or one that has died otherwise
than by slaughter. For the purpose
of this act, the term filthy shall be
deemed to apply to food not securely
protected from flies, dust, dirt, and as
far as may be necessary by all reason
able means from all foreign or in
furious communications. The portion
of the law quoted is intended to cover
the sanitary phases making and mar
keting food products, and, if properly
enforced, means that the people of the
Lone Star State should have clean,

II never did, came the faint reply.
During the forenoon session Of court
there was no mention OF the alleged

by Funk to have inspired the alienation
suit in revenge for his testimony in the
case Of Senator Lorimer, wherein he
quoted Edward Hines, the lumberman
as stating that it cost 100000 to put
I[orimer over"
Mrs. Henning kept her eyes on At
