Indianapolis, July 24.--In a bulletin of the state hoard of health which has just been issued the board gives the results of the analysis of 889 samples of food and drug products. The samanalyzed represent food products, drugs, etc., collected by the food and drug inspectors throughout the state, or sent to the laboratory by wholesalretailers and purchasers. Many samof dairy products, milk, cream, butter, cheese, ice cream, etc., have been collected for the laobratory by the sanitary ocffiers and boards of health of cities. Result of the Examination, Of the 889 samples of food products
examined 500 were pure and of stand-
ard quality and 389 adulterated, or bethe legal standard, a percentage equal to 43.7 per cent. Of 75 samples or drugs analyzed 46 were pure and up to pharmacopeia standard, and 29 were adulterated. It is stated, howthat in collecting samples for analysis care is taken to purchase arof a suspicious character, and
that therefore the extent of adulteraof all classes of food and drug products is represented by a much smaller percentage. Notice to Getters of Bad Stuff. The board says in the bulletin: "We shall continue to publish names of illegal brands and shall consider such publication sufficient notice to the trade that the goods must not be sold. Dealcarrying such goods in stock must arrange for their return to the jobor relabel them properly." Canned Vegetables and Fruits. The report shows that most of the samples of canned vegetables were of good quality, and the same is true of fruits that were canned in tin cans. The fruits put up in glass, however, showed heavy adulteration, amounting to 80 per cent. Preservatives and colare almost universal in goods put up in glass.

People who have no temper always get credit for keeping it. The pleasure is all theirs when some men tell a funny story. Are men more truthful than women? That depends upon the man--likewise upon the woman.
Do you love your wife? John Smith bought his wife a gas range. So did Bill Jones and Hank Brown. Wouldn't let them risk using gasoline, and wouldn't let them work over a hot, dirty coal stove. Others feel the same way about it. Do you? Well, here's your chance!

NO PROFIT IN THE MEET
Chautauqua That Left a Deficit of $2,000, but Evansville Is Not Dismayed. Evansville, Ind., July 24.--There will be a meeting of the Evansville Chautauqua directors to arrange plans for a Chautauqua next year, which probably will be three weeks in length.
The Chautauqua lost about $2,000 this year, it being the first one ever given here. Judge W. J. Wood, ex-secretary of the Evansville Business association, and member of the state railroad comhas inaugurated the raising of
$7,000 among the business men for the purpose of making the Chautauqua permanent and building an auditorium. The auditorium will seat from 8,000 to 10,000 people. It is the purpose to buy ground near the city, where the buildings will be erected.
These Were Agreeable Thugs. Muncie, Ind., uJly 24.--Footpads held up O. C. Dawson, a farmer, and relieved him of $1.75, all the money he had with him, but the hold-up men were so agreeable that Dawson thinks the experience was almost worth the price. Dawson says: "I told them I only had a little change, and they said they couldn't expect to take any more than I had. I told them that I was mighty glad to get off easy, and they said they liked to be easy on people."
Spokane, Wash., July 24.--At least nine lives were lost, and possibly fouror fifteen, in a disastrous wreck on the west-bound Great Northern fly

At least eight and perhaps twice that number--masons, plumbers and Italian laborers--were crushed to death in the
sudden collapse of a building in proof construction on the main street, while ten others were dragged or dug out of the wreck, some seriously inAt this writing ten men are

dale and Woodvale, the southern termi

Some people, if they bad been conon the proposition of being born, would have spent the time allotted to them for living arguing the proposi tlon. Many evils render themselves toler
able by catering to our vanity. When people don't know what else to do they give advice. Women consider a secret a proud possession to be exploited to its fullest extent. Babies are supremely oblivious of the sentiments that the unrelated commuat large cherish toward them. You can't help resenting the presof a certain type--it is so aggresobvious. One most excellent reason for wishto quarrel with some men is beit is so impossible to pick a quarwith them.
The only regular habit that some men have is the habit of being irregu
lar about coming home nights.
Drawbacks. I know a quiet wayside path Down through a shady wood. To see it where it winds away It certainly looks good. Romance is woven in the leaves And hovers in the air, But I'd advise you not to go, For horrid snakes are there. I know a pleasant rural dell With blossoms in its sward; A brooklet runs along the way And murmurs o'er a ford; Through leafy branches overhead The sun can hardly pierce, But the mosquitoes that abound Are really something fierce. I know a stream that runs away Through meadows low and sweet. To sit upon its bank and fish Would seem to be a treat. I tried it once upon a time, And I can tell you straight I got three minnows and a carp For all my pains and bait. But that's the way it is in life. 'Tis pity, but 'tis true
That the enchantment distance lends
Dissolves on closer view. For hardly anything is right Or strictly on the square We reach our hand to grasp a prize. And, lo, it isn't there!
