PURE FABRICS LEGISLATION.

PERHAPS adulterated fabrics are not quite so
dangerous to their consumers as adulterated foods,
though there is room for argument even at that point.
Bogus fabrics with dangerous dyes in them have
done their full share of direct physical harm to the
wearers.
Certain it is anyhow, that common decency and
morality require that fabrics should be honest They
should be what they pretend to be. All WOOL should
mean all WOOL Shoddy should be sold as shoddy.
The doctrine of caveat emptor is back number in
regard to transactions of this sort The presumption
of old-fashioned economics and law, taat in any
transaction one party the other must be the loser,
is played out. The very essence OF commerce is
that in trade both parties shall benefit; each must
get something he needed more in exchange for
something he needed less.
So, having got to a moral plane from which COM
merce is able to regard itself something better than
battle of wits between shapers why not have entire
frankness about it? Why not "let the label te' the
truti, about coal tar dyes in dress goods, we'll as
about coal tar headache cures at the drug store
Why not have shoddy branded as shoddy, sold as
shoddy, at shoddy prices? The buyer will beware,
all right if he knows what he is getting; but he can't
be expected to be expert in every line of business,
capable of defending himself at every point.
The pure fabrics bill that Congressman Lindquist
has introduced ought to become law. Why should
the Government supervise meats, foods, medicines,
tobacco, whisky, moving pictures, and wnat-not for
the benefit of the consumer and not do as much for
the user of fabrics? The worst adulterations OF
fabrics are in those sold to the poor. Ine
finer grades, sold to the rich or the we-to-do, are
little adulterated in comparison But the poor
woman, who tes for instance, to buy good, substan-
tia hosiery nowadays at prices within ner reach,
faces the almost impossible task The thing she gets
is very, very likely not to be the thing she thinks
she is getting 1t ought to be possible for ner to know

. For Kitchen or Pulpit.

IN preaching the minister had been
rather long winded. when the young
i bride remembered that she had left
the Christmas dinner in the gas
range without regulating the flame. She
hastily wrote note and slipped 1t to
her husband, who was an usher. He,
thinking 1t was intended for the minis
ter, calmly walked up and laid It on
the pulpit.
The minister paused in the midst Of
his sermon and took the note with a
smile. which changed into q terrific
frown as he read:
please hurry homo and shut off the
gas."-Ladies' Home Journal.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

, In China they refer to people of Caucasian
lineage as "the silver race" and to their own Mongo
Iian people as the golden race" The suspicion of
anything but his races superiority never creeps
inside Chinaman's Uranium.
Wouldn't it be possible to assuage the sensibiites
Of the japanese if would adopt some such termin-
oIogy, and incidentally try to make them think that
we think they think they are superior to us? That
seems to be about all there is to the controversy,
anyhow.

A. striking report ON new possibiii-

sugar planters In annual session this
morning. The committee on manu-
facture of sugar and utilization of by

of molasses.
Possibility of making paper from

Utilization of distillery by.products
The committee, while going into the
matter both from the Industrial and
financial phases, does not set forth
any definite conclusion, preferring to
present the discussion and to arouse
further discussion among the plant
ers at their annual meeting In the
attention is paid to the matter Of
manufacture of Intoxicating liquors.
its value for lighting and power being
emphasized as possible OF utilization
on plantations.
An extremely interesting discus
sion Is that on the possibility Of max
ing paper from bagasse. The conelu-
sions OF the committee along several
lines are summed up as follows:
The possibtl Titles arising from
the use Of the largest by-product tba-
gasse1 up to the point of highest ef-
ficiency, whereby not only may the
bagasse do much more work in the
limits Of the factory but may also pro.
vide fuel for the production Of alcohol
reduction OF the waste to commercial
dryness and yet leave a surplus OF
sufficient quantity to be used In gem
Grating power for pumping.
2. The production of alcohol from
the molasses and the use Of the al
cohol in locomotives and power driven
agricultural implements.
IS. The retention of the fertilizing
constituents Of the molasses follows
from two above whereas when the mo-
lasses is sold to the mainland the net
profit derived from their sale does
not equal the value Of the potash and
nitrogen therein contained.

per from bagasse, substituting there

efficiency.
81 The possible utilization Of val
liable distillery by-products.
Finally in presenting this report
your committee has tried to take q
broad view Of the subject, to treat
the matter rather extensively than
intensively and to show the possibiIi.
ties both Of reducing expenditure and
of increasing income by the utiliza-.
ton Of the by-products at the highest
degree of efficiency.

JAPANESE DO
BATTLE FOR
LIFE


Clinging for many hours to remain
ing portions Of the rigging Of an al
most dismasted ship while a great
wall of angry seas swept the deck,
tilted TO dangerous angle, two Japa-
nese Iaborers, employed by K. Matsu-
motto, the contractor who purchased
the wreck OF the bark s. C. Allen,
lying On the reef at Diamond Head.
battled for life itself. before they
were finally rescued through the he
ruic efforts of David Center and Miss
Center, early Sunday morning.
A southerly wind, which is estimat-
ed to have reached q velocity Of be-
tween eighty and ninety miles an
hour determined the fate Of the dis
tressed bark, which for the past two
months has been resting on an even
keel of the port, while practically all
her cargo OF lumber had been remoV-
ed Residents in the vicinity of Dia-
mond Head noted with much surprise
early Sunday morning that the wreck
has been blown about three hundred
feet nearer the shore during the night
When the salFers completed their
labors Saturday evening, two Japa-
nese were left aboard the wreck as
has been the usual custom, to act as
watchmen. It was during the earlier
part OF watch that the wind shifted
to the south, and before the. Japa-
nese had time to prepare for leaving
the craft, they made the discovery
that the distressed bark had parted
from her anchorage, and was slowly
moving In the direction of the shore.
Without warning, the vessel began
to list to dangerous degree. Seas
that assumed the dimensions OF noun
tains, began piling over the decks as
the bark shifted her position TO af.l
ford a broadside sweep for the swell.
Repeated attempts made by the sur.
viyors TO launch a boat with which
they had been provided resulted In
failure, the smaller vessel being hope
lessly smashed to splinters when
struck by the tons Of water that surg
ed against the side of the bark. Time
and again were the men lifted on
their feet and plunged into angry seas,
only to find themselves washed back
on the deck there to maintain a pre-
carious hold upon the mass OF tap-
gled cables and shrouds. The battle
continued throughout the night, the
japanese finally succeeded in lashing
themselves to a partially protected
section of bulwark. As Sunday dawn.
ed, the plight Of the Japanese was
made known to several persons. who
had trained glass upon the vessel
Center and his sister. secured 81
small boat, and after series OF at
tempts succeeded in gaining the lee
side Of the bark and though they were
repeatedly drenched by the heavy
surf running at the time. they brought
the Japanese safely to shore.
The bark Allen was to have been
refoated within few days accord
ing to the expectations of the con-
tractors The vessel had been about
discharged Of nearly l00, 900 feet OF
lumber Captain Frederick Miller was
TO have conducted operations toward
the bringing Of the vessel into the
harbor The change OF wind, how,
ever, has caused the salyers to aban-
don all hope for saving the bark.
