Raymond & Co., formerly general agents for the Mutual, according to an announcement made Thursday by the board of trus tees. These suits were begun some time ago, upon the advice of Joseph H. Choate. Mr. Choate had been re tained by the trustees to determine whether there was ground ttpon which the company could bring .suits against these former officers to recover some :>f the amounts which have been paid them by the Mutual. Mr. Choate'B formal report was not made to the trustees until yesterday, but the suits were begun upon a pre liminary expression of his views made by Mr. Choate before the -completion of his formaPopinion. L. A. Thebaud, son-in-law of ex-President McCurdy, is a member of the firm of Charles H. Raymond & Co. Robert H. McCurdy is ex-President McCurdy's son.

Washing'on.—The Hepburn rail road rate bill was reported to the sen ate on Monday by Senator Tillman in accordance with the action of the sen ate committee on inter-state com merce. The death of ex-Speaker Henderson was the subject of appro priate action in the house when, after the transaction of less than a day's business resolutions of regret were adopted and adjournment taken as a further mark of respect. Washington. Military matters held the attention of the house on Tuesday, the army appropriation bill being under consideration for amend ment. That Gen. Corbin and Gen. Mac Arthur might become lieutenant geuerals the provision in the bill abol ishing that rank was eliminated. Only eight of the 50 pages of the bill were passed upon when tlia house adjourn ed. The house passed the bill charter ing the Lake Erie and Ohio Ship Canal Co. with an authorized capital of $60,000,000. The senate agreed to vote on the statehood bill on March 9. Washington. For three hours on Wednesday Mr. Foraker held the attention of the senate while he read a carefully prepared speech on the railroad rate question. His speech was a protest against any general leg ! islation, on the theory that, the exist ing law could be so extended as to make it answer all the requirements. A number of private bills, most of 1 them granting pension increases, were passed. The army appropriation bill occupied the house of represent atives throughout the day. Several pages of the measure yet remain to be i considered. Washington. The discussion of the railway rate question in the senate was continued Thursday by Mr. Dolliver, who spoke in support of the Dolliver-Hepburn bill. He said that the bill was intended merely to supplant the existing inter-state com merce law and contended for its validity from a constitutional point of view. The house passed the army ap propriation bill, also the Foraker bill providing for the marking of the I sraves of Confederate dead buried in | the north. Washington.—The senate on Fri day passed the bill providing for the settlement of the affairs of tiie five , civilized tribes of Indians. Under the \ iuiise of considering the bill, the sen ; ate spent practically the entire day in ! ib" discussion of the railroad question. The first private claims session of the Fifty-ninth congress occupied the house Friday, 24 bills being passed. All c ares to be on a Two-Cent Basis. Chicago, 111.—At a meeting Fri day of the passenger officials of the : Ohio raiiroans it was decided to put the two-cent a mile passenger traffic in effect to tlie exclusion of all other rates in Ohio. The 1,000-mile mileage I book will continue to lie sold at S3O with a rebate to S2O, provided the book is used only by the purchaser. The book will be good in Ohio, but it j will not be sold there unless the at torneys inform the railroads that it will be legal. The reduction of all fares to a two-cent basis will do away with all convention and excursion rates, as well as charity rates, passes and clergymen's permits in Ohio. Echo of the Enterprise Bank Failure. Pittsburg, Pa. —Piles of bank I ledgers in tiie orphans' court before j Judge Miller 011 Thursday were re- I minders of the collapse of the Enter- I prise national bank. There was at j least, a wagon load of books to be used i in the hearing of the audit of thce.s tate of the late Catherine Huddleston, of Benavon, whose heir, Miss Kitty Huddleston, claims that Cashier Clark bankrupted the estate of her mother. Receiver Rinaker, of the Enterprise bank, is contesting Miss Huddleston's I claim for $12,000 which Clark, who committed suicide, paid at auction for all the real estate of her mother. Rev.

To be told by maker or retailer that the food is "pure" is not satisfactory. Candy may contain "pure" wiiite clay or "pure" dyes and yet be very harmful. Syrups may contain "pure" glucose and yet be quite digestible and even bene ficial. Tomato catsup may contain a i small amount of salicylic or boracicacid ; as a necessary preservative, which may | agree with one and be harmful to an -1 other. Wheat flour may contain a portion of | corn flour and really be improved. Olive ! oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be | nutritious. The person who buys and eats must ! protect himself and family, and hehasn right to, and now demands, a law under which ho can make intelligent selection | of food. Many pure £uod bills have been intro duced and some passed by State legisla i tures; many have been offered to Con gress but all thus far seem objectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent end less trouble to retailers. No gov't com mission or officer has the right to fix "food standards" to define what the peo ple shall a nd shal 1 not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest, makers of prepared foods in the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors, (the retail grocer) and, guided by this experi ence have prepared a bill for submission to Congress which is intended to accom plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State it is deemed proper tnat the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the states. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or otherwise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and seil the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also enclose a printed copy of the statement | of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg. and inasmuch as the ! realler cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as a guarantee of his selling the food as it is j represented to him which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of | the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly belongs. The remaining sections explain them selves. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., for ex- I ample, have from tiie beginning of its I existence printed 011 the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape- Nuts food a truthful and exact statement I of what the contents were made of in or der that the consumer might know pre [ cisely what he or she was eating. A per non desiring to buy, for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the lirice has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost but a further right to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he may be willing to buy at less cost a jeify made part of fruit juices, sugar and a portion of glucose. But he must be sup plied with truthful information of the ingredients ami be permitted to 11.se liis personal liberty to select his own food accurately. The people have allowed the slow mur der of infants and adults, by tricky makers of food, drink and drugs togo on about long enough. Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man and woman join in an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able togo per sonally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you can, in a most ef fective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent you. Remember the Congressman is In Con press to represent the people from his .district and if a goodly number of citi zens express their views to him, he se cures a very sure guide to duty. Remem ber also that the safety of the people Is assured by insisting tliat the will of the people be carried out, and not the ma chinations of the few for selfish inter ests. This pure food legislation is a pure movement of the people for public pro tection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by deceiving and injuring the people. Therefore, if your Repre ntative In Congress evade ; his patriotic duty hold him to strict ae- 1 countablllty and If necessary demand equitable and honest service. This is a very different 1 ondltion than when a fac tion demands class legislation of the Con gressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legis lation to kill tin-oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class legislation really unworthy of a free people Work people wanted beef suet butter be. ause It was cheap and bet ter than lint.

Witness the anti-injunction bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or de stroying property. Such a bill is per haps the most infamous insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict ac countability for their acts relating thereto. But when bills come before Congress that are drawn in the interest of all the people they should receive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Senators also should be written to and instructed. If, therefore, you will remember your priv ilege and duty you will at once—now — write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip and enclose the copy herewith presented and ask them to make a business of following it through the committee considering it. Urge its being brought to a vote and re questing that they vote for it. Some oppressively intelligent and carping critic may say this is simpiy an advertisement for Postum and Grape- Nuts. It is true that these articles are spoken of here in a public manner, but TEXT OF rrRF. FOOD HJI,T„ If it meets approval cut it out, sign name and address and send to your representative in congress. Buy two or more publications from which you cut this. Keep one; for reference and send the other to one of the U. S. Senators from your State. Ask one or two friends to do the same and the chances for Pure Food will be good.
