CLARK'S SPEECH
BEING GUARDED
He Will Closesthe Debate
for Those Favoring the
Ship Trust ~ His Close
Friends Say He Will Elk

Others Suggest He Will
Spring a Surprise On the
People
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


washington, March 2e.-Oratorical
strife over tffs- proposed repeal of the
toll exemptie.a clause Of the Panama
canal act will be resumed in congress
tomorrow. Events of the last week,
which put on record a breach in the
solidarity Of the democratic party,
have caused many conflicting politi-
cal predictions.
The house willy resume general de-
bate on the bill of Representative
Sims to repeal the exemption clause,
leading up to final vote in that
branch probably late Tuesday or
Wednesday. In the senate discussion
will revolve around one of the many
side issues which have arisen.
Senator Lewis proposes to discuss
his resolution, a bill which would give
President Wilson authority to sus-
pend the tolls whenever he should
deem 1t in the public interest to do
SO. A agalasta IN 7 esEis. propnsah
senator Ga1Iinger win urge a resolu-
tion ne introduced last week which
will express as the sense of Americans
that congress has the right to do as
it pleases with regard to American
shipping through the canal.
Speaker Clark whose statement
against the cloture rule last week
drew the curtain on the party breach,
will close debate for the opponents of
repeal. His speech has been guarded
with the utmost care, so the opposing
forces can gather no hint as to it's
contents.
Close friends OF the speaker say
there will be no bitterness expressed
but predict he proposes to discuss the
merits at issue. Some democrats hint
that Speaker Clark may surprise his
friends however. The president has
made no comment on the opposition
and so far as known he contemplates
making none

That the city commissioners are

A Climatic Feat.

When Peter Jenkins returned to Lanesboro for a short visit after hay ing lived ten years in Colorado, he apparently could not say enough in praise of his new home and in dis arrangements of his birthplace His sentiments were, as general thing, received with the utmost good nature by his friends, but occasionally he met what the Lanesboro people called "a comeuppance"
 'Now there's the climate" said Mir. Jenkins one day to group of listen CTS in the postoifice. "why, the eli mate here isn't anythin' that's worth talking about, but out theret It's fat tening just to be out there and take in the climate.

WARNING AGAINST DANGEROUS PRESERVING POWDERS AND CANNING COMPOUNDS USED BY THE HOUSEWIFE.

The attention of the department has recently been called to the widespread use, especially in rural communities. of salicylic acid in putting up pre- serves. The head of a large drug and chemical supply house states that people living in southwest Virginia. North and South Carolina, Kentucky. Tennessee, and Western Georgia have been purchasing salicylic acid in one fourth-pound packages for number of years and that this practice has grown to an enormous extent. This dealer states further that only a few weeks ago he received an order from one wholesale grocer for 30 gross of these goods.
 The department is aware that this practice is not confined to salcylic acid under it's own name alone, but that large quantities of this acid, and of boric acid as well, are sold under fanciful names as preserving powders or caning compounds at prices which are much in excess of their real value.
 In the directions for use the house. wife is told to fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover with water and add a teaspoonful of the powder. It is true that these powders may prevent the decay of the fruit or ve- getable, but they also encourage un- cleanly or careless work, and their excessive use may be attended with very serious effects upon the health. Salicylic acid is a medicine of the greatest value in acute articular rheu- matism, and certain other diseases. It Is well known as a poisonous sub stance, and one of the evils which may accompany it's use is Arrangement of the digestion It is therefore plain that it's extensive use in food may lead to disturbance of digestion and health.
 It is entirely practicable to put up both fruits and vegetables in such maner that, if not opened, they will keep indefinitely, by sterilizing the products by means Of heat, and there is no excuse for running any risk by using preserving powders. The De- partment of Agriculture has issued the following Farmers Bulletins on canning and preserving.
 F. B. 203. Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies.
 F. B. 359. Canning Vegetables in the Home.
 F. B. 521. Canning Tomatoes at Home and in Club Work.
 These bulletins which may be ob- tained without cost by applying to the division of publications of the depart ment. give exact directions for can ming and preserving foods without the use of preserving powders or canning compounds.
