Il am advised that the Roessler
& Hasslacher Chemical Company
has been attacked on the floor of
the senate by persons who assert
that this company is controlled by
Germans and have intimated tina,
its officers were not patriotic during
the war. Both charges are abso-
lutely untrue. Regarding the loyal
ty of the company's officers / am
well acquainted with its president.
He is an American citizen and a
resident of my own city. He has
taken an active part in every patr.-
otic movement here for over thirty
years. including the war period. HIS
oldest son served an our Army in
France: his son-in-law made the
supreme sacrifice. At the close OF
the war this company was officially
decorated by the war department
for distinguished service rendered in
the prosecution of the war;
The charges against the Roessler

were made in the senate by Senator
Key Pittman of Nevada. on May 3.
during his attack on the tariff of 10
per cent. ad valorem fixed by the
senate finance committee on potas-
SUM cyanide.
Potassium cyanide has been put
on the free list in the House. Sena-
tor Pittman asserted, but had been
given a tariff duty of 10 per cent
ad valorem in the senate finance
committee to protect just one con-
cern, the Roessler & Hasslachc:
company which. he said. is the only
concern in America making it and
which has monopoly.
The debate over the Perth Amboy
concern occupied the whole of tina;

"BIG BRASS GENERAL" BOYS
MOST INTIMATE FRIEND

The big brass general" dashed
up the street and through the
porte-cochere on his fiery horse
which was just as Respondent with
gold and silver trappings as was its
master.
Edward pulled back the curtain
to catch a better glimpse of this
wonderful figure, and the general,
seeing the boys m "a n,
stopped and talked with him. How
proud the boy was that the great
general should notice him! Every
day after that he watched for Gen
eral Bazaine and he was never dis
appointed. The two became great
friends.
Edward l.. Trudeau loved the out
of doors and through following
his advice many people were cured
of their ills. He was the first per-
son to discover that fresh air and
sunshine often cured, rather than
killed, as was the prevailing be-
lief, persons afflicted with "the
great white plague" or tuberculosis.
