Condemns "Soft" Drinks.
Dairy and Food Commissioner
James Foust has issued a bulletin
in which he outlines what has been
done in the way of enforcing the
act prohibiting the sale of adulter

Mr.' Foust declares that 80 per
cent, of 800 samples taken by his
agents were found to be contrary to
the law.
"Many of these preparations were
nothing but tap water of uncertain
purity, sweetened with sacchariu,
flavored with an essence, often arti
ficially colored with a coal tar dye
and actually made foamy with a
tincture of soap bark," he writes in
denunciation of what is being sold
in the State. .
"We were also confronted with
the use of misleading names and
pictures of fruits upou preparations
which were wholly artificial, and
the use of cayenne pepper to add
puugeucy to so called ginger ale."

"METZ IN IRELAND"
Al. II. Wilson, German Singing Co
median, nt the Columbia.
. Tl:c scenic equipment of "Met.
in Ireland, the new musical play,
which Al. II. Wilson, the German
dialect romedian, will bring to the
Columbia Theatre, Thursday Jan
nary, 27th. is said to be most
attractive. The first r.ct is a
reproduction of Dolan's Forge, an
historic Irish landmark on the road
leading to Kildare; the second act
is an interior scene of the famous
Klinikilty Castle; while the third
act is a moonlight scene, an exter
ior view of Klinikilty Castle with
its surrounding park and lodge
houses. Mr. Wilson will no doubt
receive a hearty welcome, more
especially since he will make his
appearance in a new play, which
has proven to be one of the suc
cesses of the season. The story tells
of the adventures and love of a
German wanderer in the land of
the shamrock, where he becomes a
believer in the good little fairies
made famous in song and story
The comedy element, of which
there is a generous supply, is fur
nished by Mr. Wilson as the Ger
man wanderer, when he mingles
with the lads and lasses of the
Emerald Isle. There are several
new songs with such charming
titles as "Love Thoughts," "Erin's
Isle," "The Banshee," "The
Nightingale Song" and "Mixed
German." A competent chorus
will render the old-time Irish airs
COULDN'T BEAT IT.
A number of men were gathered
at a point where men are wont to
congregate the other day, when
one proposed thev test their skill
in telling the most unlikely and
unbelievable yarn. They drew lots
as to which one should begin, and
the first one said that he was at a
moving picture show a few nights
ago, when a lady with an immense
hat cams in and sat down in front
of him. As soon ns the show start
ed she promptly removed her head
gear.
This ended the contest, as all the
others at once agreed that they
couldn't tell anything that was
more improbable
Daniel Boone on the Trail.
If wild animal training is not an
actual "calling" it has many of the
elements of irresistibility often at
tributed to vocations of education
al, didactical or philanthropic na
ture. Last year when J. W. Clin
ton, now playing the part of Daniel
Boone, was terribly mangled in an
attack by the wolf "Bob" carried
by the company, he said he would
probably return to the company as
soon as he" was able. Though
warned by the doctors at the hos
pital, Mr. Clinton insisted on re
turning to his company less than
ten days after he had been torn by
the "raw" wolf "Bob." Ou last
Monday night he fainted after hav
ing successfully performed with his
pack of wolves. Again entering the
cage Wednesday Mr. Clinton made
a desperate effort to "break" the
wolf which tore him, but his weak
condition, began to tell ou him
before he had finished, and it was
only the . quick work of the other
members of the company prevented
him from being torn the second
time.
These wolves will be seen with
"Daniel Boone on the Trail" at
Columbia Theatre, Friday eveuiug,
January 14th.
COST OF LIVING.
Senator Elkins Says That the Situa
tion Is Alarming Over High
Prices of Living.
SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD ACT.
The increased cost of living is a
subject that is at present receiving
much attention. Senator Elkins of
West Virginia has introduced a re
olution in Congress in regard to the
matter. In speaking of it he said:
"I have introduced a resolution
for an investigation into the ques
tion of increased prices, because we
have reached a situation that is
alarming. It is affecting almost the
entire American people. The cost
of living is chasing wages and in
comes, and it is going ahead of
them in many cases."
The question of why the cost of
living is going upward and upward
is attracting general attention in
Congress, and the pressure from
without on that body for an inves
tigation is strong. Generally speak
ing, the old-time leaders in Senate
and House have little sympathy
with an inquiry of this sort. .Sen
ator Elkins is one of the wealthiest
men in Congress and a force in the
Senate.
He employs thousands of men in
his various lines of business in West
Virginia, and a resolution from a
source of this kind for a congres
sional inquiry into the upward
movement of prices naturally caus
es a stir.- The Senator in receiving
many inquiries about it and many
letters of approval.
IXyuiRY SKKMS CURTAIN.
That a congressional inquiry of
some sort will be forced in the end
seems certain. The widespread dis
content over the conditions makes
it difficult for the leaders to stand
in the way of it.
"I don't see how this situation
can continue," said Senator Elkins.
"As I say the cost of living is out
stripping wages and incomes. That
brings want and misery to large
numbers of families. It means that
women and children are not getting
proper food and clothing, and that
children cannot be sent to school
and get either an education or the
foundation of an education. And
that means our civilization is being
injured.
"Food, shelter and clothing are
the three absolute essentials of ev
ery family. Shelter includes rents
and fuel. The cost of all these has
advanced alarmingly. They are
absolutely lundamental to comfort
and health. It is not to be wonder
ed at that the people are concerned
about conditions. I hear from it
constantly. Men complain to me
that wages are not keeping pace,
aud that their families are in straits
in consequence. Yet so far as my
own business is concerned, the re
turns from it are not such as to
warrant me in putting up wages.
What is to be done in such a situa
tion ?
THE DUTY OF CONGRESS.
"I look upon it as the function
of statesmanship or whatever you
may call it when it is clearly per
ceived that a disaster is threatening
the whole nation of 80,000,000 peo
ple, to attempt to do what can be
done to afford a remedy. As to the
increased cost of living. Congress
at least can find out some of the
causes and make them known.
What those causes are I am not
prepared to say. For one thing,
we are living in an age of extrava
gauce. Speculation is rife. The
expansion of the currency supply
and the increased production of
gold 110 doubt are f jctors. All th,ese
tacts tend to make high prices.
"The country is being settled np
so fast, and the population is grow
ing so rapidly especially the urban
population that we are reaching a
state where agricultuial production
is tested by the demands ot our
own people. Nations do not ex
change gold; they exchange com
modities. Our consumption of wheat
is up to the limit of production, and
we have practically ceased export
ing. Of course, we send abroad
cotton to the value of $900,000,000
or more. But we pay out $200,000,
000 a year to foreign ship owners.
MONEY DRAIN TO EUROPE.
"American tourists take $ioo,-
000,000 abroad every year. They
spend much of it in luxury aud ex
travagance. Laborers send bafc to
the old country every year $100,-
ooo.ooo. we send $50,000,000 out
of the country every year for
Christmas presents. Altogether we
pay out in one way aud another, in
actual money which goes abroad,
about $500,000,000 every year. In
ten years this means $5,000,000,000.
"This dram is doubtless one of
the causes of the increasing cost of
living and the failure of wages to
keen pace; and there are many
contributory causes. We must own
our own ships, and we must come
to more economical ways of living.
Think how we are wasting money

"The American people are reck
lessly extravagant. We must learn
to get more out of our farms, and
to cutitract fewer debts and find
more ways of paying them. I have
introduced this resolution because
I feel that here is a situation that
absolutely demands the attention of
Congress. I want n thorough and
impartial investigation that will go
to the roots of the whole i.iatter. .1
don't see how things can go ou as
they are, and I believe it is our im
perative duty to look into the
facts."
Senator Elkins proposes to broad
en the scope of his resolution in a
few particulars. He will seek to
have it apply to every important
phase of the cost of living among
oilier things, specifically to ths in
crease of the world's 6old supply

Mr. Lenhart is rapidly recovering

Lenhart can be present.
