Well, this is what happened!
Son, the second, decided he would
try his luck in finding work to do.
Moreover, he decided to try in the
SAME place and at the SAME job at
which his brother had failed the day
before!
Both father and mother were very
sorry that their second son should do
this, for they feared he would fail,
too, and get the same sort of punish
ment from the king the first son did.
But the second son could not be
persuaded to stay at home. He

his brother had found him, sitting on

made the same query of him that he
did of his brother the day before.
And then he made him the same Of

Son, the second, agreed, as son
the first had done, and started off in
the gray of the following morning,
to follow the foals!
After he had run and run and run,
till his feet were sore and his tongue
parched with thirst, he came upon
the same old witch at the same old
spinning wheel!
Come hither, come hither," said
the witch, when she saw son, the sec

Immediately the king grew furious

on the boys back! He ran crying
home to tell his father and mother
what had befallen him.

Carl Alsberg, chief of the bureau of

citation at Its annual banquet here last
night, discussed the labelling Of products
entering the grocery trade of the coun-
try, his subject being 1.-THE Honest

of the association that II they would
use on their products labels that hon.
estly described the contents of the pack
age, and that were ineligible to the
average person, they would be reasonably
sure Of doing the right thing.
I'm case you do not fully understand
the meaning Of the food and drugs law. .
said DIR. Alsberg, "call on the Depart
ment of Agriculture for information, and
this bureau will exert every effort to
make things absolutely clear. But re-
member that the bureau of chemistry IL
not the final resort: the courts alone have
the power to make a final decision. So
that. even though you act according to
the suggestions of this bureau. which
will be nothing more than suggestions.
bear in mind. that fact will not act as an
immunity BATH
Dr. Alsberg stated that notwithstand-
ing the fact that the food and drugs law
has been in effect more than six years,
considerable ignorance as to its provi-
sions still exists. and probably ALWAYS
will exist. He added that the Depart
ment of Agriculture. recognizing this
fact will not, however. take into con-
Of misbranding. but will continue to pros
ecute persons misbranding their products

CONGRESS MAY REPEAL
CLAUSE ON FREE TOLLS
Exempting Of American Coastwise
Ships From Payment Not
Favored in House. III

An effort will be made early by the in
coming Congress to repeal a clause of the
Panama canal act exempting American
coastwise ships from the payment OF tolls.
1t is said. As soon as the democratic
leaders of the House have been informed
by President Wilson as TO his attitude on
this matter. they will act.
Representative Sims has announced that
he will reintroduce early in the extra ses-
sion, called for next month. his bill TO re-
peal the provision which is the subject OF
Great Britain's protest against the canal
act. Mr.. Sims called on Secretary of
State Bryan a few days ago and had a
long talk with him. He refused to discuss
the conference.
If President Wilson asks Congress TO
repeal this provision there seems little
doubt that the House will do as he
wishes.
In the Senate, however. the situation il
complicated. Senator O'Gorman. who is
slated to be chairman of the interoceanlc
canal committee. Is strongly in favor OF
the exemption. and ii is generally under
stood that he was responsible for the in
sertion OF the free toll plank in the Bal
timore democratic platform.
