well-to-do to have them for break

parts of the world and break the COR
ner.
This cold-storage swindle is not the
only one which will be made more
difficult, If not impossible, by remov-
ing or lowering the duties on foods.
Free food is one of the strongest
allies of pure food.
Take cornstarch for instance. The
tariff on starch has been high enough
to cut us off largely from imported
starehes. 1t has been high enough
to permit trust to take possession
of all corn products. In the last few
years the price of cornstareh has
largely increased and it's quality de-
Perforated.
That is what always happens when
trust gets possession of an article
and has the field to itself
Glucose, one OF the chief corn
products, has been made to pass for
all sorts of things it was not, simply
because there was no free competition
to dispute its pretensions. How much
honey really made by bees has a
woman of modest purse been able to
buy since the glucose trust got its
grip on our market? STRAINED honey
is often corn syrup. They even put
bits of really honeycomb in the jars
to deceive the buyer! They even
manufacture honeycomb and fill II
with CO.. n syrup.
Take the duty from honey and from
corn products and how long would
this form of adulteration go undis-
puted?
No pnre-food bill ever passed will
help so much to put an end to
adulterationa and restore natural
food as free food bill. Lower
prices for food and better quality;
fewer frauds and adulterations-th
is the logic of the Underwood tariff
bill. This is one of the services II
aims to render the American woman.

BATTLE ON
OVER TARIFF BILL
Republicans in Caucus Tonight
to Settle Policy on the
Cotton Schedule.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Tariff
discussion was on again today on
both the Senate and House sides of
the capital. There were informal
conferences between senator and the
House met an hour earlier than
usual. The House Republicans con-
ferred regarding their caucus tonight,
when they purposed to settle upon
their policy as. to the cotton sched-
ule
The caucus already has voted in
favor of the wool schedule prepared
by Representative Payne, but the
cotton schedule has been delayed
through what Representative Gard
ner, of Massachusetts, has explained
to be inability of his Subcommittee
of the ways and means minority to
agree MIR. Gardner expected to be
ready with the plan tonight.
Representative Peters, of Massa-
chusetts, a member of the ways and
means committee majority which
framed the Democratic bill, was
among the speakers on the Demo-
cratic side today, presenting an
elaborate argument in defense of the
committee measure. Leaders of all
three parties have been confronted
with a disposition of their colleagues
to delay speeches until the latter part
of the time alloted to general debate,
which will expire Monday night.
Before the debate was resumed
Senators Ransdell and Thornton, of
Louisiana, and two Louisiana sugar
growers called on Majority Leader
Underwood and pleaded for more time
before the proposed 25 per cent. re-
ductlon on sugar goes into effect.
The senators declared it would 'af+
ford considerable relief to the indus
try of Louisiana il the sugar reduc-
ton could be made effective not be-
fore October / next, instead of imme-
diately upon the bill becoming law
Mr.. Underwood, 1t is understood
assured his visitors that the request
could not be entertained. Representa-
tive Hammond, of Minnesota, opened
the days discussion in support of the
bill.

PERE MARQUETTE PR0BERS
URGE STATE CONTROL

LANSING, Mich, April 24.-The
joint legislative committee which has
been investigating alleged irregulari-
ties in the management and conduct
of the affairs of the Pere Marquette
railroad, which is now in receivers
hands, made its final report today,
with a recommendation that the
State be given broad control of the
railroads and attributing the Pere
Marquettes' difficulties to misman-
agement and manipulation
The committee said that it believed
that "the present management under
the receivership is capable and that
it is doing it's utmost to improve the
service and should be given reason
able opportunity to demonstrate
whether the road can be made to earn
it's fixed charges. If it fails to do
this a reorganization must be had
on a basis that will be sound"

DOCTOR SEEKING DIVORCE
PUTS BLAME ON SALOON
Especial 10 the Newark start

TRENTON. N. j.. April 24.-The
saloon business was blamed for dis
rupting the happy home of a doctor
and his wife in the evidence in the
Court of Chancery yesterday, in the
divorce suit of DIR. Morton M. Kent
against his wife. Parthenia |. Kent.
The wife fell heir to prosperous
saloon business of her fathers and
she insisted upon residing there and
conducting the business. DR.. Kent
said that he strenuously objected as
it was not the place for a doctor. The
business led to disagreements that
finally brought the family to the d.
vorce court.

There is no argument that justifies
any tax on any necessary food. One
of the best things that the Under
wood bill does is to break with the
vicious idea that food-any form of
foods a fit thing to tax.
Could there, for instance, be more
unjust thing thap putting a tax
on an essential, like potatoes--a food
that the poor of the country depend
upon so largely? In a good year in
this country we raise not only all
the potatoes we want, but we raise
them for export. II by any chance
there comes a year when the potato
crop in the United States is poor or
fails potatoes must be imported from
Canada, Germany and other countries
having potatoes to spare. Our peo-
pie are saved from q potato famine
by these importations.
. But what happens then?
There is tax of 25 cents bushel
on potato
That ed to the high
price drcity has already pro-
duceo this duty makes it still
harder people to get potatoes to
eat. To be sure, the American
farmer who has been lucky enough to
have crop gets an advantage, but
he already was getting the famine
price. Why add a tax?
Could there be a more odious ad-
vantage taken of need?
One of the good things which the
new tariff bill does is to reduce the
tariff not only on potatoes, but on all
food products. We shall have better
chance to have plenty of cheap apples
and peaches in the years of scarcity
if the duty on them has been re-
dueed. We shall have better chance
to have oranges. pineapples and
grapefruit IL the duty on them has
been halved. We shall have better
chance for cheaper eggs, butter and
cheese in times of scarcity. More
over the freeing of such articles as
eggs from high duties is going to do
much to destroy forever the corners
in eggs by which cold storage people
have for years been swindling us.
There will be no point in putting all
the eggs in the country into cold
storage until the supply is scarce and
the price too high for any but the

MARRIAGE AND DANCING

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 24.-The dis

Episcopal Church South, in session
here today, adopted a resolution re-
questing the next general conference
to prescribe a form of application to
be signed by candidates for matri-
mopy, to the end that ministers may
not unwittingly violate the law of the
church concerning divorced parties. .
The church law permits remarriage
of divorced persons only when the di-
vorce has been granted on statutory
grounds.

tested against schools being used to
