WORTHLESS OILS
IN ALLEGED FOODS
SOLD TO THE PUBLIC

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Sept A.
Official analysis of some Of the food
surrogates in Belgium is disclosing
some extraordinary frauds. The Di-
rector-General of the Public Health
Service has found that some of the
substitutes for oil, which is no longer
obtainable, are worthless connections
that cost the manufacturers only a few
cents per liter but which are sold to
a gullible public at fancy prices. One
"oil sauce" was found to be 1926 per
cent water, with the remaining 75-100
per cent an extract of gum. A May
onnaise" in fancy packing and highly
recommended" was found to contain
Sc per cent water, 100 per cent oil,
1910 per cent starch and per cent
ash. An invalid's food advertised as
meat extract" extra quality" was
made Of 65 per cent water, IS per
cent burnt sugar and % per cent salt.
Butter" that sold "1.2o per kilo-
gram was made of tallow, cotton oil
and oorax. Jam brewed out of sea-
weed plaster of Paris that passed for
rye flour; coffee that was made of
SIENNA seeds; cigars that were rolled in
a fine chestnut-tree leaf with the fill
ing of various dried leaves, and such
frauds were found. also.

Mimi. has been granted q concession
to reclaim the Grand Canal. The re-
clamation Of this is the first step in
the Hwai river conservancy plan, as
the building Of the Grand Canal has
much to do with closing the outlet Of
flood water from the Hwai river basin.
and II the Grand Canal be deepened
and kept in a perfect condition the
duration Of flood in the Hwai river
basin will be considerably shortened.
The present food is reported to be
the most serious the district has SUI
fered since 1909. At some points the
Hwai river rose ten feet within q few
days. Refugees are fleeing from the
Hooded district in all directions, be-
cause Of the lack Of food and the USE

to look into the questions Of the day
in order that they might cast their
vote intell1gently. And he stated that
it was not so that there are no differ
ences between the two big parties and
he spoke Of environment and tempera-
ment as among the causes Of the diff
ference.
"The people Of Iowa like the people
Of Maine are Industrious. they are pro-
ducers," he said. THE Democrats
make their appeal from an angle OF
the consumer, they want things cheap
The Republican party makes its ap-
peal from the side of the producer, II
is willing to pay good prices for labor
and it maintains that it is immaterial
what you pay for an article as long as
the article is purchased from among
ourselves. That is the A, B and C OF
the tariff"
"The Democrats take the view tina,
the government has no right to foster
any industry" he said. "The Republi
cans think that if the government has q
right to protect the country from vel
low fever it has the right to protect its
people from the influx Of foreign made
goods. The Democrats say Tariff fol-
revenue only This is where the two
parties separation the tariff question
Tariff for revenue only is free trade
He said that all happiness and pros
perity rests on industry and that the
happy men and women today are those
who rise to daily task. The Republi-
can party encourages industry. The
Republican government doesn't 60 into
business but it encourages the people to
do it because out of it comes happiness
The methods by which the Republican
government encourages industry the
speaker then dwelt upon in a very con-
vincing and interesting manner and he

EX-GOV. SHAW
OF IOWA SPEAKER
AT CITY HALL

Speaking upon the tariff and the
Mexican situation, Hon. Leslie NJ
Shaw, former Governor Of Iowa and
former secretary of the treasury, held
the close attention of a large audience
at Republican rally held Saturday
evening at City hall. Mr.. Shaw is one
of the most eloquent speakers from
outside the State taking part in the
Maine campaign and his address to
Augusta Republicans was thoroughly
appreciated by all in attendance
Previous to the rally the members
of the Hughes and Fairbanks Club of
this city formed torchlight process
sion and escorted Governor Shaw from
the Augusta House to the hall. The
Augusta Cadet Band furnished music
for the marching and the rally.

rally. The others on the stage besides
the presiding officer and Governor
Shaw were Mayor Blaine S. Viles and
Frank ]. Ham, chairman of the Re
publican State Committee.
In opening the meeting Mr.. Cony
stated that it did not take a seer to
say that Maine will elect Carl f. Mil
liken of Island Falls Governor a week
from Monday. Il say that not as a
Republican," he said, but upon obser-
walton of political conditions and by
talk with men, both Republicans and
Democrats, who have made a can
vass." He then called the attention of
the audience to some Of the issues of
the campaign and in speaking of the
Mexican situation he said that Presi-
dent Wilson had played favorites in
that country and had lost and that the
present administration had failed ut
terly to meet the problems in that
country.

The flooded district is approximate

average width of twenty miles. It Is
a fiat plain given over largely to
wheat cultivation.
The residents Of the Hwai river val
ley have been the object Of charity for
many years. The American Red Cross
has been endeavoring to better their
condition by interesting flnanciers in a
reclamation plan which would afford
safe outlet for the flood water through
the Grand Canal. Charles D. Jane
son, an American engineer, studied the
conditions for many years under the
direction of the American Red Cross,
and in 1914 a commission Of engineers
from America visited the Hwai river
valley and approved plans for its re-
clamation. These plans contemplate
the draining Of Huntze Lake and the
diversion Of the water of the Hwai
river into Paoying Lake, and thence
through the Grand Canal to the Yangtz
river.
1t has been estimated this would
cost thirty million dollars gold. and it
could be completed in six years. So
