The people of Indiana do not have
70 eat foods prepared with benzoate
of soda. The United States district
court at Indianapolis so decided and
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals sitting in Chicago affirmed it.
Both courts refused to enjoin the
Indiana food and drug commissioners
and the Indiana state board of health
from interfering with the sale of cat
sup and pickles containing benzoate Of
soda.
They decided that the question Of
soda is an open one in the scientific
world and gave the people Of Indiana
the benefit of the doubt.
The decision makes it possible for
the health authorities of Indiana TO
absolutely prohibit the sale of ben
coated foods in this state. something
they Will now be certain to do as the
state chemical department has de-
clared benzoate OF soda 10 be a harm
ful preservative. 1t grows out of liti-
cation which followed the passage by
the Indiana legislature in 1907 of a
law winch hItNluto llldL dllN ptASoll

zoate Of soda is subject 10 crominal
prosecution.
The bill hit the big food companies
hard and one of them, presumably
acting for all. carried the matter into
the courts. The element of uncertain
" as 70 the real effect OF taking ben
zoate of soda into the stomach was
the point upon which the rulings OF
the two courts turned The appli-
cants for an injunction were unable to
prove to the satisfaction of the courts
that it is harmless.
on the contrary the Indiana state
board Of health IS satisfied that the
chemical is harmful and has succeeded
in protecting the people Of the state
against its use This is only one OF
many instances in which the state
health authorities have proved their
usefulness.

A few months ago Charles Weidler
was a candidate for the democratic
nomination for mayor
he was not nominated.
The sO-called citizens party was in
existence before Mr. Weidler an
nounced his candidacy.
Several estimable gentlemen aspired
20 lead the citizens cause
During Mr.. Weidlers candidacy for
the democratic nomination Fred Kel-
Ter, partner and business associate of
Mr.. Weidler, was not a candidate for
the citizens nomination.
In fact the Weidler workers openly
claimed the Keller hitcomb-H app-
Tohulka support. They boosted that
these real estate men were present at
most Of the Weidler meetings.
When Mr.. KeIler's business associ-
ate was defeated, Mr. Keller at once
proceeded to take over the citizens
party.
with most Of last years bull moose
organization back of him he was easily
successful.
Now the Keller forces are Boosting
that Mr. Weidler is back of Keller.
NIessrs. Keller and Weidler have
long been associated in the real estate
game
It is said that with other associates
they have tried hard to unload the old
NJ. r. church property on the county
at an exorbitant price.
Here is an ideal business combi-
nation" trying to break into political
control
Bipartisan business relations in pol
itics have never appealed to the
American people.
Mr. Keller held aIoof from the
purity league when ne thought his
business partner might be mayor. Mr..
Weidler is said to favor his real estate
associate in the campaign.
But South Bend is not ready to turn
itself over to the tender mercies Of any
real estate combination.
The Tribune opposed Keller's nom
ination but was forced to accept him.
Mr.. Miller is said TO have cautioned
Keller against the Weidler support.
But the people are alive to the situa-
ton.
The next mayor Of South Bend will
not be chosen from the little coterie
OF real estate men.

To thee. great God of Red Slaughter.
We bow down.
Under-many names but ever in thine
own awful character thou hast out
lived the million gods of a million
years and challenged the very throne
OF the great Jehovah himself.
As shaggy prlmordial cavemen thou
sentest us forth TO batter and crush
our brother cavemen, as savages we
mastered and slew according TO thy
behest and as ordered and organized
tribes. nations empires. thou hast
driven us out in phalanxes, legions.
regiments and battalions to hew, to
hack, to mangle and destroy our fell
low man.
on thy affairs we have sacrificed the
flower of our youth and the strength
and beauty and courage of our man
hood. In thy name and for thy great
er pleasure we have laid waste the fair
fields of the good warm earth, we have
blackened the face of nature with
fire, we have heaped high the dead in
windows and manned and crippled
and blinded the bodies Of the living;
for thy satisfaction we have RACED
splendid cities-built of toll and sweat
and dreams-and with pillage and ra-
pine and slaughter we have let in the
jungle and made desert the streets and
the palaces and the gardens which
stood as monuments to the aspirations
Of man.
Because the sound was sweet to
thine ears we have brought to thee
the wall of countless women, the help
less cries Of little children, the moan
of wounded men in unutterable agony.
the shrek of souls that pass, amid the
clash Of steel, the tramp of marching
feet. the blare of trumpets and the
roar and thunder of cannon.
For thee we have suffered privation
and hardship, and in our trail have
stalked disease and famine. lest we
forget the grim rewards of thy favor.
And we have called they service glory,
| and have raised the high priests to the
mightiest places of honor and profit
and power among us
And for our reward these kings and

again and again forth upon thy bust

rot. our tools TO rust, and our loved
ones to mourn and starve. The
mighty and the rich and the powerful

soil have known only privation and
want at thy hands.
Thou art merciless. insatiate, evil;
hate and all black passions are all thy

pour at thy feet libations of blood and

81 am king and I command you to
go!" answered the wife, angrily.
There was nothing for the poor old
fisherman TO do but to go for the
fourth time to the fish. He walked
down TO the sea in fear and tremb-
ling. His voice shook as he called
to the fish.
What will you have this time %
asked the fish.
My wife wants to be an en-
peror!"
Go home. She is an emperor. 3"
said the fish.
True to his words, the fish had
made the wishing wife an emperor
and she was sitting on a more Won
derful throne than ever.
Things were quiet again for a week
or more, until one morning the en-
peror called the fisherman to her
throne aLG ordered him to fall upon
his knees and kiss the hem OF her
garment.
What will you have of me?" asked
the fisherman. in a very submissive
voice.
Il have decided TO be a pope. He
has more power than an emperor,

But two marble slabs were broken,
And one small mirror it lacked.

And the way 1t looks on the inside

With large mirrors held in place,
And gives a good reflection

All are made of white enamel,
With a sanitary head-rest.

With both hot and cold clean water,
And hose for washing hair;
Everything is painted white,

While shining clean and bright
Is new linoleum on the floor.

For TO keep it sanitary.
