Some Things the Food Law Did.

Reviewing the ten years in which the
federal food and drugs act has been
in operation. the annual report of the
bureau of chemistry. United States de-
partment of agriculture, says the law
has done much to safeguard milk i'm
ported from Canada or shipped in in
terstate commerce; to control the traf-
fic in polluted oysters and practically
to stop the traffic in decOmposed
canned fish; to lessen the shipment of
decomposed canned beans and shell
eggs; and to decrease the manufacture
of foods from refuse materials. corre-
spondingly improving the sanitary con-
ditions in food factories.
Ten years ago, the report says, much
Of the baking powder and gelatin and
some Of the confectionery was contain
mated with small quantities of lead or
arsenic. This is not the case today.
The coloring of canned peas with
copper and the use of n number of dan
gerous preservatives have been sup
pressed. The act also has made 1t
possible to control n number of other
practices more or less dangerous to
health.

MESSENGERS of Death.

There are about 200 separate and
distinct kinds of shells fired from Ger
man guns, and each and every one of
them has been given at least one nick
name by the Tommies, according to
London Tit-Bits. Some of them have
been given several.
The biggest kind of high explosive
shells, for instance, nre known in
differently as "Dirty Dicks" "Jacs
Johnsons." "Coal Boxes" "Flower
Pots" "Crumps," "Black Peters" or
"Whistling Willies."
The smaller kind are BLACK Ma
rias" and "Woolly Bears" according to
whether the smoke they emit when
bursting is black, or white with yell
lOwish tinge.
High explosive shrapnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively "whizz-
bangs and 'pip-squeaks," from their
habit of giving only those warnings OF
their approach. "Archibalds" are anti
aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel
projectiles are Little Willies."

MEDIATION IN war
Roman Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed 1t Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 400, Wher
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time of papacy,
popes, us the religious heads of the
Catholic church, have considered it
their task to intercede as mediators
in temporal disputes, observes n his
tOrian. Following are few instances
As early as 400, when Alaric 1 de-
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange peace favorable to
him, s. Innocent / went with an en-
bassy of the Romans to Emperor Hon
erius, at Ravenna, to try, if possible,
to make peace with him and the Goths,
but failed in his endeavOrs to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory 1, who played the same part
on the occasion of the invasion of Italy
by the Lombards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardian queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mediated n favor
able peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attila the venerable
bishop of Rome, Leo 1.-The first of the
great popes-by n personal encounter
with the king of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. He
went in 452 to upper Italy, and met
Attila at MinciO, in the vicinity of
Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
Use that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of
Rome. When in 455 the city was cap
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric,
the "scourge of God" Leo's interces-
sion obtained a promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives of
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1884 to 1342 occupied the
holy see, was as unsuccessful as II
mediator as the present supreme pom
tiff. At that time Charles " of France
had died without leaving an heir, and
when his cousin, Philip vi, put the
crown on his head, his right to do so
was contested by Edward Ill of Eng
land. Benedict MI, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hostilities lasting, with some
interruptions, for hundred years.
The popes mediated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents in cases
where 1t was important to unite them
in the common cause of Christianity
against Turkey.
Pope Gregory (1271-1276), for the
sake Of crusade against the Turks,
worked indefatigably upon recon-
ciliation of the princes in Italy and
Germany, and Paul III Q534-1549).

prevent a war between Spain and
France. Clement IX aided Venice

and has also enabled the club to buy

Prizes for Largest Contributions.
In one shipment of poultry and eggs
sos contributors pooled their produce.
Most of them were small producers,
contributing only few chickens and
two or three dozen eggs. To stimulate
interest $25 prize was offered for The
largest load, $5 for the largest single
amount produced by the contributor.
So for the heaviest hen and So for the
heaviest rooster. The heaviest hen
weighed eight pounds and the heaviest
rooster ten pounds. The largest single
offering sold for 5000. while the
largest load brought S132.25. The whole
shipment amounted to S1.95620. 1t
went to Tennessee point and was the
first cooperative carload of poultry
shipped from the state.
The Carroll county plan may well be
extended to other places, in the opin-
ion of officials of the United States de-
partment of agriculture in charge of
county agent work. The department
will endeavor to aid any community
which desires to try the plan. Nine
county agents from nearby districts
met n representative of the depart
ment at Carrollton to study the meth
ods used. with the intention of putting
them into practice In other counties.

better than that is sure to come along.

The county agent responded by going

nouncing that n cooperative shipment
of poultry would be made few days
later. 1t was new and untried idea
in Carroll county. but he believed it
would go. 1t was explained in the cir
