Republican Paper
Lauds President

When the world is at peace and we
have nothing more serious on our
minds in this country than minding
our own business, it doesn't bother us
much when those who make living
out of politics choose sides and play
that game.
We don't mind it much if they call
themselves Reds and Blues, or Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. Nor do we
care what tags or labels or uniforms
they wear.
Just now, however, it is different
The country has been facing crisis
ever since the European war broke
out. Our country is facing a crisis
now, and our Chief Executive has
more of our troubles on his mind than
any President since the martyred
Lincoln. He is. doing everything in
his power to preserve peace with
honor.
Had he been weak man and cas-
lily driven, we would have had an ar
my of occupation in Mexico when war
was declared in Europe. For power
full American interests went the lin
it in trying to force an invasion of
Mexico in order to make profitable
their concessions.
He is not representing a political
party. He is representing the Amer
lean people. And now is no time for
partisan play. The people are in no
humor now to sit in the bleachers and
watch the piffling antics of political
clowns, be they Democrats or Repub-
licans.
This is no time for any citizen to be
anything less than a patriotic Ameri-
can, whose patriotism is not limited to
any smaller territory than the entire
United States.
Let the American citizen stand up,
and the peanut partisan go away back
and sit down.-News-H Herald (Rep.)
Joplin.

All Food Frauds
Not Injurious

The writing of "The Jungle" by
Upton Sinclair caused countrywide
excitement concerning the adultera-
tions of foods and the dangers there
from. The agitation has been kept
up by number of writer's, some sin
cere and some evidently only work
ing to take advantage of the wave of
interest The general effect has been
good.
1t is hard to draw the line between
justifable and unjustifiable chemical
preservation. Everyone uses salt, SUI
gar, spices, vinegar, etc, which are
chemicals. Long use has proved their
harmlessness. Many other chemicals
are used whose effects on the body by
long continuous use are unknown,
Still others are known to be harmful.
Among those which are still under
observation in this regard are some
which may be entirely harmless, but,
like other chemicals, they accomplish
one object for the manufacturer to
use partly decayed materials which
could not otherwise be put on the mar
ket, and to this extent they are Who'll
ly bad
The writer's on this subject excite
a great amount of unnecessary alarm,
since they do not draw a distinction
between frauds which are merely COM
mercial and frauds which are to be
condemned because they are injurious
to the health, says DR.. Nj. P. Ravenel,
Of the department Of preventive med
icine of the University of Missouri.
For example, glucose is harmless
and nutritious substance, and there is
no objection to its use from the public
health standpoint. 1t is highly objec
tionable as a commercial fraud when
it is sold as honey, even if dead bee
is put in each jar to prove its genu-
ineness, as manufacturers have done,
or as cane syrup, OF as an adulterant
in candies supposed to be made en-
tirely Of sugar.
Another example is a specimen of
ground black pepper, which looked
right, tasted right and smelled right.
Analysis, however, showed it to be
made up of starch So per cent, black
pepper siftings Is per cent, and little
cayenne pepper. The siftings gave
the aroma, the cayenne pepper the
tang, and the starch the bulk. This
specimen was wholesome and nutri-
tious. There was nothing in it OBJ
jectionable from the public health
standpoint, though it was from be-
ginning to end a commercial fraud of
the worst kind
Oleomargerine is another instance
of nutritious, cheap and wholesome
product against which much unjust
prejudice has been fostered. Selling
oleomargerine as butter is CONNER
cial fraud for which no excuse can be
made. but from the sanitary point of
view there is no objection to it. Good
oleomargerine is much better than
poor butter.

April 1st, the railroad shops here
put their men to work nine hours a
day instead Of eight. This will be a
great help to the men and business in
DeSoto. An hour day on each mans
check means an increase of from three
to FIVE dollars week, which no doubt
will be a great help to the men. The
shoe factory is also working full time.
DeSoto is still in good shape and bus
mess improving.-DeSoto Press.
