Peoria Publisher Won't
Deny That He May
Succeed Garrison.
MAY LEAVE TO-DAY
TO SEE PRESIDENT
Friends of Wilson Say That
Russian Ambassador for q
Day" Has No Chance.
by telegraph 70 Ths Tribune. ]

Peoria, Ill.,, Feb. 10.-Henry NJ. Pin
cell, publisher Of Tho Peoria Jonrnal,'
and AZ one time Ambassador 70 Russia
for twenty-four hours, will succeed
Lindley VI. Garrison as Secretary Of
War That is the report current here
at present, and Mr. Pindell has not
denied IL. truth.
81 have nothing to say" has been his
only response TO all questions upon the
subject. II is understood that he will
leave here on Saturday and 90 at once
TO Washington, where he will confer
with the President on Tuesday.
Politicians here regard this as last
attempt OF the President 10 recognize
his trusty supporter in some substan-
tial way before the close Of his term.
Through objections both at home and
abroad, Mr.. Pindell was forced TO re-
ign his post of Ambassador 10 Russia
the day after he was appointed. By
this act Mr.. Wilson was robbed Of the
chance Of doing both his follower and
the State OF Illinois a favor.
Both Of these, it is believed, the
Chief Executive IL anxious TO do. Ever
since he refused TO indorse the candi-
dacy Of Roger Sullivan for the Senator
ship in 1914, there has been hard feel
ing against him in the state and he is
apparently anxious TO overcome this.
The name Of Henry VI. Pindell echoed
far beyond the furthermost reaches OF
his native city IN the fall of 1918, when
Woodrow Wilson presented it to the
Senate as MS choice for the post Of
Ambassador 20 Russia. Subsequently
many things happened. A letter which
Senator Jim Ham Lewis, of Illinois,
was supposed TO have written TO Mr.
Pindell became public. Senator Lewis
later repudiated this missive. which de,
scribed the joys Of the ambassadorship
20 Russia in glowing word pictures,
Gwelt upon the great opportunities for
much travel and little work which the
pcs. offered, and added that Mr.. Pindell
could resign and return TO his work
before "The Peoria Journal" suffered
through his absence.
For this or other reasons the spe-
cal session Of Congress adjourned
with the post of Russian Ambassador
still untitled The President immedi-
ately ronomina.ed Mr.. Pindell at the
succeeding regular session. The owner
Of THE Journal" was appointed am
bassador on January 81, 1914, aad re-
signed within the following twenty
four hours. II was rumored at the
time that hostility Of the Cars gov
eminent 70 his appointment was re-
sponsble for his action.
On April II, 1915, Pindell, Of Peoria,
left his home town. laboring under the
impression that he had been selected
for House-like mission 20 Europe
and started east. On April q he sailed
for the Old World, in an atmosphere Of
SECRECY. Two days later the White
House denied that it had intrusted the
ambassador for day with any mission
whatever. When Mr.. Pindell returned
TO the United States, on June 7, he
said that he had been observing the
war on his own account, and made no
further mention Of his supposed secret
trust.

ONE FORM OF
FOOD FRAUD

One reason why cooked foods
bought at lunch rooms and to TAX,
home. so frequently taste badly, may
be found in the story of the campaign
against decomposed eggs. The bust
ness OF selling fluid eggs, honestly
managed, utiizes much material 9th
crwise wasted. But recent investi'
cations by food experts show that
many producers are using quantities
of decomposed eggs.
People who have to eat much away
from home have their vicissitudes :.
There is no line of trade having so
many cheats as the food business.
A pie or cake may look most attrac-
lively brown and crisp as 1t stands
Che fiatter 1t may taste. Often there
is a distinctly bad flavor Offering ex.
ouse for a liberal irrigation thereaf-
ter. II is an odity OF human nature
that many people, once they have
paid their money, will eat every
crumb TO avoid waste.
Boarding houses are additionally
the place where a great deal OF poor
food is worked off. II is assumed
that working people come in hungry
and will not notice minor defects.
However the faults are perhaps due
more to difficulty in getting intelli-
gent kitchen service than to other
causes.
Many lunch rooms and restaurants
along the railroads or In city streets
work of poor material on the tran.
silent trade, that they never expect
TO see again. A vast amount Of un.
sanitary food is disposed of on the
principle that what you don't know
won't hurt you. Skillful seasoning
covers many culinary sins.
Wholesome food can still be had at
reasonable prices, IL people put up
with insipid favor. Those who de.
mand real cooking, like Mother used
10 make" must pay for 1t. Fresh
eggs, rich milk and cream, we'll
made butter. and tender toothsome
meat, cost very high, and thoroughly
good cookery is not possible on any
other basis. "Weal pie" as the Inn
mortal Sam Weller observed. is
fine thing, when you know the lady
as made it." That principle applies
In every kind OF food purchasing and
never more so than right now.
