Barnard Hands a Bunck to “Bread That Mother Bakes.”

H. E. Barnard, state food, and drug commissioner, does not go very strong on the “kind of bread 'mother used to make,” as a general proposition and does not hesitate to say that the rules governing public bake shops are more conductive to good health and cleanliness than a great many .home kitchens. • " The food and drug specialist declared that bakers bread is purer and more wholesome than one-half of that baked by housewives. A slight gasp of astonishment was evident when Mr. Barnard made the statement and fearing that he might have injured the feelings of the women who consider themselves expert cooks, he explained that bakers’ bread is better than that made at home only because modern Inventions have improved the 'bakery process. “All women shopld become pure .food inspectors,” said Mr. Barnard. “They should consider themselves as wearing the tin badge of authority and when they see that pure food laws are being violated they should demand that their dealers conform to the provisions set forth in the statutes. “It is better for the housewife to go to the store to do her buying, for then she can see the conditions under which her supplies are being kept. Most women are very careful with food stuffs after they have arrived at their homes, but they do not seem to care much about the way food is treated while in the grocery store or meat market.”

Soft Things For Jefferson Club Stag Quarters Beautified.

The Jefferson Club gets busy in a social way every once in a whHe and pulls off a unique stunt that is alike pleasurable to them and their invited guests. The club consists of about seventeen young fellows, who have established stag quarters in the corner suite of the K. of P. building. They "have been/furnishing the rooms in “stag” style, with an abundance of furniture and the walls are hung with pennants, college pictures, etc. There was otfly one thing sorely needed and that was soft pillows and the boys devised a means of supplying this want. They Invited, their girl friends to attend a pillow shower; invited a married couple to act as chaperons and provided a little dance to follow, having a few invited guests at the 'dance. The result was most pleasing and the Jefferson Club rooms are now comfortably fixed with about a dozen fine pillows, largely made' especially for the club. Some of them have the letters “J. J.”. neatly monogramed, while two or three have the full name of the club on them. President Don Beam made a neat speech welcoming the guests and thanking them for the pillows and the refreshment committee served the guests to ice cream and cake. - At about 9:30 the dance started and at 12 the guests were again served. The evening was very enjoyably spent and the club members certainly got in on a “soft” snap when they provided this means of supplying pillows for their quarters.

Senator John W. Kern Boasts Senate For Pension Opposition.

The following dispatch from Washington shows John W. Kerb to have the right idea and a fearless way of expressing it in reference to the Sherwood pension bill: Members of the senate were accused today by Senator Kern, of Indiana, of crying economy at the mention of pension legislation only because old age is believed to have robbed civil war veterans of their influence in the political affairs, of the country. The Senator urged the adoption of the Sherwood “dollar a day pension bill,” an.d declared his opposition to the Smoot substitute favorably reported by the senate pension committee. “This cry of economy in government expenditures has a new and strange sound,” declared Senator Kern. “It has been seldom heard during the past twelve years, while the expenses of the government have nearly doubled and climbed up to the enormous figure of a billion dollars a year.” He added that there bad been no economy when hundreds of millions of dollars were being spent on the Panama canal, while a half billion dollars or more was used in “carrying out the benevolent work of subjugating the Phllipine islands and benevolent assimilating the Filipino people,” or when two hundred thousand pew offices were being created and calaries of all principal office holders largely increased. “Il is said that our pension list is larger than that of any nation in the world,” concluded Senator Kern. “I have not examined the statistics, but I hope it is. It ought to be. There was no such war in modern times, and no war ever accomplished such beneficent results.”

John E. Dallam, chaplain of the 23d ,U. S. Infantry, stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, has been missing very mysteriously since last Saturday, when he went to Indianapolis and wrote a letter to his sister in Minneapolis, Minn., on Denison hotel stationery.'He did not indicate to his sister that he was suffering from any mental disorder. Colonel Glenn speaks .highly of the man’s character. He believes that Chaplain Dallam has either met with foul play or has become suddenly deranged mentally. — —.I ' We have a full stock of feeds for poultry. HAMILTON & KELLNER.
