plaint was made by a married daugh-
ter, Mrs. Grace Townel, of Elisabeth,

MAKES HUSBAND’S COFFIN.
Widow Walks Two Days to Camp
With Body of Husband.
Grizzly Gui«h, Gal.—A tired little wo-
man leading a burro with a lopsided
p$ck came down the mountain 'into
this camp. Every man in the street
helped to undo the hitches that fasten-
ed a plank coffin to the pack saddle
and carry it into a house, where the
woman broke down over the body of
her husband, which the coffin con-
tained.
She said her husband, P. T. Strib-.
ling, a prospector, was killed and his
partner badly hurt in a cavein on their
claim. She made the injured man as
comfortable as she could and placed
provisions where he could reach them.
Then she proceeded to build the coffin
around her husband’s body and suc-
ceeded in getting It on the burro’s
back. She walked twenty-four hours
with hardly a halt, to reach Grizzly
Gulch so that her husband might be
buried with suitable rites.

Pure Food Officials Take Up Question
of Misuses of Food Packages.'
Amendment to Existing Law May Be
Necessary to Meet Efforts to Evade
It—Philippine Forests Valuable.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, Sept. 2. — [Special.] —
They are beginning to see the end of
the tariff fight in the senate. Chair-
man Simmons thinks the bill will be
passed by the 4th of September. On'
that account he has not been over-
crowding consideration, has not asked
for sessions earlier than 11 o’clock in
the morning, has not insisted upon ses-
sions extending later than C o’clock
each day.
Of course there has got to be some
time spent in conference, and probably
there‘will be more talk when the bill
comes back from the conference com-
mittee, but it is fair to assume that
with all time necessary to be consum-
ed the bill will become a law before
the end of September. Its sponsors
think it will be a Jaw before the 25th
of September.
Less Pressure For Office.
-For about a month there has been
less pressure for office at the White
House and the departments. The of-
fice seekers seem to have made August
a sort of vacation time. Perhaps it is
because many members of the cabinet
have also made that month their vaca-
tion period and the office seekers have
found their chairs temporarily vacant.
The president will not deaf directly
with the applicants for place, although
he sees some of them. But the men
seeking appointments must take up
| the matter with cabinet officers before
! the president will consider their ap-
| plications.
Pure Food Complaint.
The officials who are enforcing the
pure food law "have to take up a rath-
er troublesome question in connection,
with the misuse if not* misbranding of
food packages. Majoy such packages
contain the werds. “Guaranteed under
: the government pure food law,” Avliich
assumes that the food' lias been tested
or approved by the government offi-
cials or that it bos complied in every
wav with the pure food, law.* But it

POCKETBOOK

our prices. She knows that she
j can procure groceries of the very
best quality at prices that can’t
be duplicated for pure foods,

TAYLOR & THOMPSON’S
seems that afl the guarantee 'means
is that the dealer, who buys from the
manufacturer, is guaranteed against
prosecution by the government officers
or if prosecuted the manufacturer will
bear the expense. It may be that some
stringent amendment will have to be
made to the law to meet this and
similar attempts to get around it.
Pay For the Philippines.
The cost of the Philippines can bs
paid by the forests, according to a
statement issued by the bureau of in-
sular affairs. ‘‘Some idea of the pres-
ent potential value of the hardwood in
the islands,” says the statement, “may
be gained fron^ the fact that there Is
enough standing timber in the virgin
forests of the islands to pay several
times over their original cost to the
United States even if sold at a nomi-
nal price per acre.”
The statement does not say who will
bpy this woodland, but if it could be
sold it might be a way for the gov-
ernment to get even for the expense of
the faraway colonies. When the Phil-
ippine independence bill comes up this
might be considered.
Quoting Bob Taylor.
One of the Tennessee Democrats of
the house during the long contest over
t&e currency bill quoted former Sen-
ator Bob Taylor on the money ques-
tion. saying, It about suited him It
was during the exciting days of the
free silver discussion, and old Bdb
was talking to some of his people in
Tennessee. Said Taylor, “I’m for the
free coinage of gold and silver and
the issue of greenbacks, and I want
counterfeiting made better.”
Hayes on Living Cost.
“It’s the local dealers who keep up
the high cost of living.” asserted Con-
gressman Hayes of California, “and I
have proved it. I asked my butcher
how It was that some fellow didn’t
come in here and set up a butcher shop
and undersell these fellows who were
charging 28 cents a pound for steak.
He said there was no danger. ‘A
committee of local butchers would
wait on him and show him that it was
not to his interest,’ said my man. ‘If
be persisted we would see that he
did not get any meat. We would noti-
fy) the big packers that if they sol<^
to h;m they could not sell to us. He
would have to depend on local supply,
and he wouldn’t get anywhere with
that.’ ' ‘ ;
“It seems to me,” said Hayes, “with
that condition in every city in regard
tc me&jNy everything people buy there
is not much prospect for reducing the
cost of living, no matter what is done
with the tariff.”
Secretary Daniels continues to peer
into everything that is brought to him
for; his signature. As a .consequence
there are stacks of mail piled up on
hisj desk awaiting his examination and
signature. “There is enough ' mail
thejre' to keep him signing until mid-
night.” remarked one day a Herk who
was obliged to stay until the secretary
bad completed his wtu'k.
“KISS IF YOU WISH,”
SAYS HEALTH EXPERT
Disease Germ Does Not Lurk
on Ruby Lips, Asserted.
Chicago. — Health Commissioner
Young has appeared as champion for
the kiss. Other health guardians to
the contrary notwithstanding, his ad-
vice is to keep right on kissing as
often as the girl will permit; that the
disease germ does not lurk and mul-
tiply on the ruby lips, as some experts
claim.
When the printers’ proof sheets of
mattfer to go in the weekly health bul-
letin were submitted recently to Dr.
Young by C. St. Clair Drake, a strict
sanitarian, the health commissioner
found an article devoted to kissing.
“That will never get by me,” said he. -
The article, in part, read something
like this:
“And there is no telling the amount
—the students of the subject claim the
cases ace numerous—of tuberculosis
and other diseases communicated by a
kiss."
“Nonsense,” Dr. Young said “I will
have to act as a safety valve here, be
a regular Horatius at the bridge.”
Again he perused:
“Therefore kissing should be avoid-
ed—should not be indulged In.”
To his secretary Dr. Young turned
issuing this order:
“Have the entire article against kiss-
ing stricken from the bulletin. Let peo-
ple kiss all they want to."
“A kiss,” Dr. Young said, “Is dan-
gerous only when it is indulged in so as
to lead to observation by an irate papa
or mamma. The degree of aggrava-
tion differs in each case.”

Costs Secretary of Interior $10,000 to

Portland Ore.—It costs Eranklln K.
Lane, secretary of the interior, $10,000
a year to maintain a bqme as a cabi-
net officer and $2,000 a year for “ice
cream and pink teas,” according to a
statement he made to friends during
his recent visit to this city while dis-
cussing the high cost of living for gov-
ernment officials in Washington. This
dissipates his entirely salary of $12,-
000 a year, and he has nothing remain-
ing “excepting the glory.”

Pan Francisco. —With 2.400 sealskins
and 1,000 skins of blue fox, the steam-
er Homer returned from the Pribilof

Paul islands and are worth about
$1,000,000.
Last year the Homer brought down
5,000 sealskins. Seals are killed only to
