Washington, May IL 1t develop
ed today that the department of
justice will use the Sherman anti
trust law to prosecute heads of in-
duStries which cut wages because
of the new tariff bill. In the past
panic starters" have been RESPONSE
ble for putting the Democratic party
out of business, but the present ad-
miniStratiCn is anxious to make a
record and has taken the lead in
holding criminal statutes up to
those who may seek to knock" the
prospective new schedules at the
expense of employees. Highly pro-
tected industries are desperate to
the extent Of going the limit to
prevent a CurtatIing of their long
enjoyed privileges, while Democratic
statesmen and politicians are just
as determined this time to prevent
such actions. Senator John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi, declares
that criminal prosecution will be
ordered in cases where a combina-
ton or conspiracy to reduce wages
is found.

REALLY NOT SMITHS FAULT
Are. commuter Had Blamed Him un. duly, and Now She Wants tho
 Law Changed.

Even in town the commuters wife had been subject to violent likes and dislikes. but in the suburbs her preju. dice seemed intensified. Their neigh. bor on the left was the object Of her eincerest aversion. II think he Is the most selfish man I ever met" she said. Such a contrast to MT. Brown. on our right, who Is the soul of neigh borly kindness"
 "On what do you base your esti mate of their character?" her hus- band asked.
 Fences" said she. Just look at MT. Browns fence. He has kept all the ugly posts and crossboards on his own side and has presented the smooth finished surface to us. But you don't catch MT. Smith doing that No, indeed He looks out for mum. Der one and keeps the nice side for himself, while we get all the rough patchwork"
 "But that is not Smiths fence," her husband argued. Tt is ours"
 "Ours?" she echoed. "How does that happen?"
 Ut happens through legal statute which provides that every man who wants his property fenced in must build part of the fence and keep the ragged edges on his own side. That Is the law"
 How perfectly ridiculous" she said. If we continue to live in the country isn't there some way 1t cap be changed?"

COURTS UPHOLD THE > PRESBYTERIAN UNION
Members of the Cumbeland Church
 are Enjoined From Intel'ier- %. ing With United Church <

Kansas City, Aug. 16.-The union of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America and the Cumberland Presbyterian churches, effected in 1906, was upheld by Judge Van Valkenburgh in the United States District Court here today. Members of the Cumberland church were for ever enjoiaed from interfearing With the use by the united church of church property in Missouri.
 Title to all property of the church in Missouri is quilted in the Presby- terian church in the United States of America under the decision.
 The property involved amounts to approximately $1,5O0,0O0.
 There were two separate suits in stituted in the federal court here by the united church in the fall of 1909 one known as the "church case was began on behalf of James NJ. Barkley of Baltimore, moderator for the union church, against Hugh Hays, a trus- tee of the old Cumberland church. The latter claimed the union of the two churches was illegal.
 The second suit was instituted on behalf of the synod of Kansas of the Presbyterian church in the United States and was directed against the Missouri Valley College of Marshall Mo, and other defendants. It was instituted because the Cumberland members attempted to gain control o1 the college and oust it's officers.
 A minority report of the Cumber' land members opposed the union anc declared the church properties shoid still be devoted to the use of those who continued to adhere to the sepa. rate organization and who claimed tt be the legitimate representatives ot the Cumberland church.
 In many small communities in Mis- couri, after the union when ministers of the united church went to country churches to hold Sunday services they found the Cumberland churches padlocked and committees waiting tt tell them that they could not holt services.

STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not the Least of These Are the 6an'
 quets on the Boards.

Not tho Least of These Are the Ban.
 quets on the Boards.
 Nothing is so deceptive as the stage meal, although the art of the propert! man makes such repasts appear de liciously appetizing.
 A favorite stage substitute for meat Is sponge cake. which cut into the shape of outlets or steaks and judi ciously browned with sauce. presents most genuine appearance. The ad- vantage of such material is that it is easy for the actors to consume anc does not present any difficulties &o the carver
 Outlets composed of sGft toast are also popular in stage culinary circles, and when decorated with dainty paper frills and parsley look quite the real thing.
 . Do not let your mouth water at the sight of those dainty slices of ham re- posing on lettuce leaves on the baron's festive board. Ham is invariably rep resented on the stage by strips of lino- leum. the reddish under side of which makes convincing substitute for the real article. As to the surrounding let tuce, that is generally represented by white leaves from the humble cab. bage
 The larger and more impressive the stage edible, the greater the fake. Huge pies which when cut produce a cloud of realistic steam are absolutely uneat- able. The crust is merely colored pa pier mache which incloses dish of hot water and sometimes a few boiled potatoes, which supply the necessary steam. The big sirloin of beef. which apparently weighs pounds. has about six ounces of eatable meat about It. The joint is a wooden affair. over which few thin slices of genuine beef are placed, giving the impression of really fine piece of meat.
 Were you to obtain peep behind the scenes just before banquet scene was to be staged you would find a number of stage hands busily slicing up toma toes and bananas. You would see those slices being laid out on plates sur rounded with parsley or white cabbage leaves. Under the glare of the lime hght this dish assumes an astonishing resemblance to lobster salad. and lr similar fashion sliced banana is gen eral substitute for fish, entrees anc hors d'oeuvre.
 One of the most astonishing illusions with regard to stage food, however, Is where soup Is concerned. This is in variably sawdust, which when ladle6 cut of tureen has all the appearance o1 a thick liquid
 No banquet would be complete with out turkey A loaf of bread delicatel! hgoWned and decorated with pegs GOV srUd with browned dough, saves thu arrangement the expense of running III . poultry bill. Moreover, the come d1ans can with comparative safety 6aing this asset to the feast about thu stass without damage to life or prop Wu.-Philadelphia Ledger.
