AIULTRRATED FOODS. Or. Hurty of the State Board says that adulteration ia altogether too common. Adulterants are not necessarily a menace to health, for water is a frequent adulterant of milk: and water, unless it is polluted, is harmless. A man may be able to furnish only one quart of milk each day to his family, and it is counted upon to supply a certain amount of strength, out if adulterated with water it falls short and harm is done. The fraud in watering milk is apparent. We have no data from which to form an estimate of the extent of food adulteration in Indiana, but it is certain adulteration is far too frequent. From the fact that the state board of health receires samples of various foods, very often some of them adulterated, we conclude the evil exists. A sample of sausage was sent from Gas City not long ago. Its general appearance and the. way it behaved when frying, excited
suspicion, unenucai examination
snowed it to contain flour ana a great deal of water. Sausage ells for 10 cents per pound' and low grade flour at 3 cents, while water costs nothing. Water forms a paste with flour, and
through the aid of the latter, sau
sage may be made to take up an enormous amount of water. While
flour is a good food and water is a necessity, no one wants to pay
10 cents a pound for them when sausage is wanted. Another adulterated article found all over the state is butter, and water is
the adulterant Good butter nev
er contains over 12 per cent of
water, but by digesting milk with
pepsin and then churning an equal weight of butter with it, the two will combine to a solid mass which easily passes for good butter. If one pound of batter or batterine
costing 10 cents ne mixea who
one pint of milk costing S cents
tne result is two pounas ox mixture costing 12 cents, which, when sold at 10 cents per pound, yields 20 cents, a profit of 66 per cent on the materials. If one wishes pure butter and is willing to pay for it, and has sold to bim oleomargarine at the price of high grade, pore butter, be is swindled and money is lost This is happening every day and certainly the total amount of money lost in this way is very great. The watering of bulk oj stem is another swindle practiced everywhere, even in Bloomington. You can mix in two quarts of water so as hardly to excite suspicion, the admixture yielding a profit of 60 cents and the purchaser is demoded of the expected amount of nourishment On the average, in the large towns of Indiana, milk is watered to the extent of 5 per cent, as is proven by many hundreds of analysis. This does not mean that every 100 quarts of milk contains five quarts of water, but that while many samples are pure, many others are watered to varying degrees,' so that the average adulteration is 5 per cent Of the 2,600,000 people in Indiana, fullv one-fourth 1650.000)
live in the large towns which have adulterated milk. If each person on the average uses one-third of a pint daily (a-low estimate) the total amount used is 125,000 quarts. This being adulterated to the extent of 5 per cent it appears, therefore, that 6,250 quarts of water are sold daily for milk in
Indiana. At 4 cents a quart the
outlay for water bought for milk
is 250. In one year this amounts
to 91,250. The state board of health pro
poses that a pure food and drug
law be passed, and as there exists health officers in every county, town and city, make them food inspectors. Let the law give to the state board a laboratory and the money to run it It will be imnossible to stoa adulteration
without the aid of chemistry, and the choice lies between permitting adulteration to run rampant at an annual loss to the people of hundreds of thousands of dollars or stopping it at an expense of not to exceed 5 per cent, of the loss. Unquestionably a practical people wilt arouse to this situation.
A writer in the New York Press says: "It is difficult to understand the attitude of General Gomez. The Cubans 1 have recently met are divided for and against the old soldier. Some praise bim to the skies, while others denounce him in the roundest terms. Which are right! If half of what the latter tell us is true, he should be permanently retired, with a gag on. But who knows what to believe these days.
An Irish Characteristic. "Bad cess ter yez!" cried Hogan to the stranger who had pulled bis opponent off of bim; "phwat d'yer mane by interfarin' 1" "Why, my man," protested the stranger, "he is too big for you.

How He Lost Uts Arm. "No, sir, I didn't lose that arm in battle; I lost it while playing the fool," said Maj. Leonard, to the Progress as he looked at his empty sleeve. "It was before the battle of Shilob. I was out prowling around, looking for fat pullets or anything else that would give the megs kettle a savory odor, and finally found myself near the Confederate lines. A long, gaunt Tennesseean, evidently on picket duty, stood leaning against a tree reading a newspaper. He appeared deeply engrossed, and 1 chuckled as I thought what a rich joke it would be to sneak up within easy range and plug him. 1 began to sneak.
The ground was wet, covered with briars, and I crawled for fully two hundred yards, ruining a new uniform to play my little joke.
The Johnnie kept on reading. He
bad evidently not seen me. I stopped to hug myself before I rose up to my hellish work. I took good aim and let fly. The sentry never moved just kept on reading. That made me hot. I reloaded and blazed away again. He never budged. I kept up a' fusilade for half an hour without result, then 1 got so mad I could
not stand it any longer. I was net a little proud of my marksmanship, and to have a large, loose-jointed enemy of my beloved country stand up there in his butternut breeches and calmly absorb the news while I was chucking lead into him at a distance ef 500 yards, was too much for me. 1 reloaded, marched up to within twenty paces of bim, took deliberate aim and blazed away. He kept on reading. I clubbed my musket and made a rush. I whacked bim over the head with force enough to kill a church scandal, then reversed and jabbed my bayonet into bim. It was a dummy! I started to lose myself in the direction of camp, when there came a shriek of demoniac laughter from a clump of hazels to my left and three, big Tennesseeans stepped out to intercept me. Surrender t not much. I was mad enough to fight the whole Southern Confederacy single hand
ed. I made a rush for them and ';
they turned loose, relieving me of this arm and breaking both legs.
But I licked the dummy. One of
my captors told me afterward that
tbey shook a pound of lead out of it."
George Gemunder Dead. Georee Gemunder, a genius in
the making and repairing of vio
lins, died of pneumonia on bun-
day at his home in Astoria, Long
Island, in his n year. Jtte was known to almost every musical
expert, and made violins for Ole
Bull. Betnenyi, August Wilbelm,
and many other noted violinists.
He was an authority en old vio

Owe And Keep Drawing. Pay your taxes or get out of
the service of the state of Indiana.
That's the essence of a bill to be
introduced in the legislature be
fore the term is over.
It is directed especially at em
ployes of the penal and benevo
lent institutions, a large number
of whom, it is said, do not even pay their pell taxes. The statement is made that in

Some have questioned the constitutionality of the bill. A lobby against it is not anticipated as lobby would be virtually an admission of guilt. Indianapolis Sun. Petroleum drinking is reported to be on the increase in Paris, and the medical men are wrestling with the habit to determine its ultimate effect on the system. As usual with all such vices, the taste grows upon the victim until it develops into an irresistible passion. Tha drinker is made sad, discontented and despairing, rarely quarrelsome or pugnacious. Meses Field is in a dangerous condition with apoplexy. Dr. Cohen, who says he is an Englishman (?) is no longer keeping office hours on west 5 th street. Bigger fool than Thompson's Colt State-senator Patten, of Jack
son and Washington counties, is the author of a novel bill in the interest of sehool reform. Patten's measure contemplates abolishing all the school bouses in the various counties and teaching the children in their own homes by telephone. The bill provides that the state hall furnish the telephones, which are less expensive than the maintenance of the school houses.
OPEHA PEOPLE IN BEDFORD JAIL.
Got Fooled in the Town.
Bedford Mail. Jap Malett, who lives near the Avenue Hotel, on J street, occasionally rents apartments to putrons of that place when its rooms are overcrowded. Monday a room was taken at Malott's for Nellie Little or Lewis, a chorus girl with the Beggar Prince Opera Co., who were playing a three nights' engagement at the Grand. Mr. Malott was a little suspicious of the girl's appearance, and kept a watch on her movements. She came in as the night train went ncrtb at 11:05, and fifteen minutes
I later a man came in nnd went up
stairs to nor room. As Jap isn t running that kind of a house he promptly went after the police, and returned shortly with Deputy Marshal Payne and Policeman Glover. The door was fastened, and when Malott demanded that it be opened the girl asked for time to dress, which was granted, and ten or fifteen minutes delay was made iu opening the door. Both were found with toilets which exhibited haste in the donning, the man's shoos being unbuttoned. When asked by Payne if the girl was his wife he promptly denied tho allegation, when the two were told to prepare to go to jail till morning. They demurred and parleyed, and tho girl wept copiously; but when it was found that the landlord and police were inexorable the girl removed most of her clothing and proceeded to redress in the most deliberate and careful manner, as though for a promenade, oblivious of the presence of the men, nearly half an hour being consumed in the oper
ation. Manager Wade attempted
to intercede for the two members
of his company but without sue
cess, and they reposed on two
luxurious but widely separate cots
in different cells in the county jail till next morning, when they were
takon before Mayor Johnson, the
girl charged with prostitution and the bey with associating.' Both pleaded guilt', and the boy, who
is known as Malcolm Anderson,
was assessed a fine of $10 and costs, amounting to $18; and the girl $5 and corts, amounting to
$13. Manager r. X. Johnson
went their replevin bail, and they were released. AndersoD, who is a juggler, is about 18 years of age, and his home is in Missouri. The girl is 17, and hails from Cincinnati.
Anderson insisted that there was
nothing irregular in the affair, and that he was in the habit of visiting Miss Little's apartments at will. Both were evidently more familiar with the wild, free, unconventional life of music halls and third-class hotels than of respectable society, and did not realize their liability to arrest. It is feared they will always remember Bedford as a "jay" town. This company played three nights of the past week in Bloom -ington, and gave delightful performances. Of course Mr. Wade and his principals cannot be held responsible for the morals and personal conduct of all the members of the company. No one need testify as to Mr. Wade's standing as a gentleman and as an artist. There are some tough cattle among show people, and every manager has more or less trouble with them.

County Treasurer David Jennings, of Labette county, Kansas, instituted the most unique law suit ever brought in Kansas, when he breught suit against himself and asked the court for u temporary injunction restraining himself from levying on his own property for the collection of a special tax which the city of Oswego had levied against his business property. The court granted a temporary injunction. It is alleged in the petition that Mr. Jennings made a tender of a certain amount of money to himself and refused to accept it, the suit against himself resulting. He charges that some of the city councilraen of Oswego were influenced to order a brick walk in front of his business block by a commission which they received on the brick. A Weather Prophecy. Wm. Quackenhush, who has been watching the seasons for something like forty or fifty years, claims that the old prophecy that the first three days of December control the weather of the three winter months, is true, as proven by the present season. On the first day of December, he says, there was snow aud the day was gloomy and bad. During the entire month such weather mostly prevailed. December 2 was cloudv with shewers, representing and foretolling the ruling weather for the present month. The 3d of December was a bright, sunny day, and foretells bright, sunny weather for February. It also foretells, according to Mr. Quackenbnsh, that there will be an early spring. Bedford Democrat.

Don't Be Worked. If u iiiau falls upon you with n u offer to sell you a stock of writing paper for a few cents, shut the door in his face that you may not hear the remainder of liw story as he is opening a new graft which has found many a victim. The game is to call at the house and offer twenty-five envelopes and sheets of paper for sale. This is done ostensibly to advertise the goods, for if the customers uso the paper once they will always use it, etc. To advertise the
goods, the swindler says there is a
prize in each one ei the targe en

structs the purchaser not to open the package until the following day, but curiosity generally causes
it to be opened without delay.

Kokomo has the reputation for originating an idea that is
unique to sav the least. In
curfew ordinance pending in the
Kokomo city council for adoption
there is a section in it limiting the
age at 45 years, and another part
in which the mothers are mentioned, reads thus: "It is further
provided that when a child comes
home at the prescribed hour and finds its mother not present to
hear its prayers and put it to bed it shall report such dereliction to
the Mayor of the city, whose duty
it shall be to search for the ab
sent mother until found, and if it should be shown that the mother
was not on an errand of necessity
or meicy it shall be the duty of tho
Mayor to administer a reprimand
to said mother, take her band nnd

Parsnip Complexion. It does not rmjuire an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble' The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy envies under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in ths back or over th hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinatd often, or a burning' or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at ouce repeated, or if the urine has a briek dust deposit or strong odor. When thews symptoms are present, no time should be hut in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of tins urine with instruments, or may run into Hright's disease, the most dangerousstage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so sasy to get at any drug store that n one need suffer any length ot! time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention The Republican Progress and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Ilinghamton, N. Y for a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
