He TELLS JUST
'. WHAT SHOULD
De AVOIDED
Every Woman He Says, Ought
To Be Very Suspicious Of
Foods ArtiiciaIIy Colored.
7 AM glad to learn that the
1 people of Atlanta are to
have opportunities for

say this without any impu-
tation upon the past. / i'm
agine, however, that Atlanta
is not much better than 9TH
er cities in this particular,
and if this is the case, then
] am certain that the citi-
zens of Atlanta have had
ample opportunities to pur-
chase many foods neither
pure, fresh nor wholesome.
| have been asked to say a
word to the people of At
lanta in view of the opening
Of a pure food department.
1t is often said that the
housewife should read the la
bells. ! agree with this, but
the housewife should do
more. She should be able
to judge the labels. / am
not familiar with the Geor-
gia State laws, but / suppose
there are restrictions upon
fraudulent statements and
fraudulent advertising. The
labels should be read for
two reasons: one, because
they ought to tell the truth,
and second, because as a
rule they do not. SO the
housewife should take the
label as she does her food,
with a grain of salt.
Few Kinds of Foods.
First of all, there are only
few kinds of foods, though
there are a thousand brands
and packages. Wheat is
wheat, and its products are
products of wheat, no mat
ter under what brands they
are sold. And the same is
true of every other food
commodity. In order to Sc
cure pure foods, not only
must you know of a place
where they are sold, but you
must be certain that those
who sell you pure foods are
sufficient experts in their
business not to be deceived
themselves.
The man who sells pure
foods to-day in the first
place does not sell anything
to which an artificial pre-
sentative has been added.
The ordinary condiments
sugar, salt, vinegar and
wood smoke-have to a GER
tain extent preservative
properties, but they are en-
tirely different in this re-
spect. from the so-called
chemical preservatives, such
as benzoate of soda, salicylic
acid, sulphurous acid and
borax.
The fundamental idea of
condiment is not to pre-
serve, but to make more pal
atable. The fundamental
quality of a chemical pre-
servative is that it be prac-
tically free of taste or odor.
The condiment reveals its
presence at once to the
taste; the chemical preserv-
alive is hidden and does its
work in secret. My expert
ments convinced me that all
such preservatives are harm
full to health, and serve to
conceal inferiority in the
character of the products.
Avoid Mixtures.
In the second place, the
housewife will do well to
avoid mixtures and com
pounds. My experience is
that mixtures and com
pounds are usually made for
the purpose of selling an
inferior article more or less
at the price of the superior
one. There ought to be suf-
ticient skill in the kitchen at
home TO do all the mixing
that is necessary.
In the third place, the
housewife ought to be very

suspicious of foods that are

THE PUMPING STATION
Gradually Getting Back Into Shape II
Will Take Some Time.

The fire which created Such com
motion in our city, almost demolisfl-
ing the city water works plant. one
week ago last Saturday morning. is
still causing annoyance to our people.
The water which is now furnished
from the plant is not fit for drinking
purposes; 1t has loud smell and a
taste that is original to say the least.
The two old pumps are doing the
work and, we suppose, they are pump
ing from the new wells and not from
the old, large scum-covered affair.
The board of water commissioners
has let the contract for placing G ccn,-
plete iron roof on the building and
making such other improvements as
are necessary to the WauSau water
works. The new pump, which was in
bad shape, is also to be repaired, all
of which is to be in readiness in a
couple of weeks.
Acting Mayor Hugo Peters has
called 9. meetingsof the fire and police
commission to conduct an investiga-
ton as to conditions found on the
morning of the fire in the fire depart
ment, etc.
Helmer Burke, night fireman at
the time of the fire, at the pumping
station, has resigned the position. .
The board of police and fire COM
mission met last evening to take up
pending matters, but is investigating
same TO meet again. probably next
week

THE SHAwANO ADVOCATE, in Civ
ing the taxes for Shawano county,
said the county treasurer sent the
state treasurer this year a draft for
S64, 1855, the amount of taxes appCr-
toned against the county. Last year
the draft sent to meet the state APP
portionment was sl3,O75. The paper
says that even if the county's share of
the S2,00O,OOo in taxes RENTED in
1872 for political purposes had been
added, Shawano county would have
had to pay but $4,000. Therefore,
it this year sent 80 the state treasurer
over $4,000 more than would have
been its share in 1912, even if there
had been no remission of taxes

Quick Action Saves United States
In War Crisis.

BY promptly adopting a program of
action, the administration has enabled
the United States to meet the I'M
equalled commercial and financial
strain imposed by the sudden blaze of
war throughout Europe
Demands of the present have been
met and the inevitable needs of the
future safeguarded. The administra-
tion'S proposals have all been unani-
mously approved by Congress. These
were the big steps taken:
Absolute neutrality declared.
Offer to mediate transmitted to five
principal warning powers-Great Bri-
tain, France and Russia on the one
hand, and Germany and Austria Hun
gary on the other hand.
Appropriations of 81, $50, 900 secured
to relieve the necessities of and pro-
vide transportation home for the
thousands of Americans stranded in
the WIRING countries.
CEaISer Tennessee dispatched with
relief funds and gold coin to take
care CT the foreign obligations of
American bankers.
Unlimited issue of emergency cur
rency authorized, thus meeting the
immediate demands for currency in
this country's domestic transactions
and stopping the outflow of gold to
Europe.
Shipping laws so amended as TO en-
able the United States to acquire
vessels in which to transport the
country's huge grain crop to needy
and stricken peoples.
Provision made TO use available
naval vessels TO carry mails and
freight both to Europe and South
America.
Settlement of the threatened strike
thus assuring railway service during
the crisis.
President Wilson met the emergency
with his usual cool, clear-thinking
deciSiveneSs.

BILL is PASSED
Senate Approves House Bill on
Foreign Built Ships.
COASTWISE OCTOPUS STAYS

Senator o'Gorman Flags Democratic
Colleagues for Supporting Interests

They Outprotection Republicans
Many Ships for Sale by Germans.
Washington, Aug. 15.-By vote of
40 to 20 the senate rejected the con-
ference report on the shipping bill to
admit foreign-built ships to American
registry and proposing to open the
coastwise trade to foreign craft.
The house bill was then adopted by
the same vote. 1t only extends Amer
lean registry to all foreign-built ships.
O'Gorman Roasts Democrats.
Senator O'Gorman, in charge of the
bill, expressed amazement over demo-
cratic opposition.
Discussion here today" said he,
indicates thai congress is directing
its energies toward the protection of
special interests, rather than the pro-
motion of the general welfare. 1t
amazeS me that senators who not long
ago eloquently proclaimed the Ameri-
can coastwise shipping an offensive
monopoly seem to find no difficulty to-
day arguing for g result that will be
to perpertuate this monopoly that has
fattened on un-American principles. l
hearing senators, protesting allegiance
TO the democratic creed, paraphrase
the republican argument for twenty
years in support of protective tariff.
We have reached a sad day in the
decline of the democratic party, when
democrats rise here and use republi-
can arguments in support of an often
sive and un-American system of pro-
lection"
The bill enacts into law the admin
istration plan to restore the transat-
lantic trade paralayzed by the Eure-
pean war. It is also designed to en-
large the American merchant marine.
Many Ships for Sale.
Already the Hamburg-American line
has received proposals for certain of
its vessels now in American waters
and the North German Lloyd line has
announced that it will sell some of its
ships. Administration officials expect

was included among the senate amend.
