EXPOSE THE FOOD COUNTERFEITERS.
TIIK Department of Agriculture has nt the
Pan-American Exposition an exoeedinglv
interesting display of pure and adulterated food
product. Except fir one tiling it might le said
to be extremely valuable. The exhibit serves to
awaken the curiosity, distrust and even alarm by
showing the public specimens1 of dyes, impurities
and even poisons found in alimentary article;
purchased in the open market. Jlnt it does not
enable any person to avoid such adulteraed fowls.
The labels are removed from the products sub
jected to analysis, so that no manufacturer's feel
ings are hurt by the exposure of his dishonesty
and no consumer is warned what not to purchase
if he would avoid eating deleterious substances.
It is said that putting the labels alongside the
results of analysis would give manufacturers of
adulterated foods not analyzed for the exhibit an
advantage over those whose impure goods were
shown to the public in their impurity. It is dif
ficult to sympathize with the plea that some men
should be protected in wrongdoing because some
Others doing the same thing cannot be punished
at the same time. On that theory very few
criminals would ever be sent to prison. What
ever justification there may be for freeing this
exhibition of the scientific work of the Agricul
tural Department from complications, and avoid
ing making the Pun-American showcases a pil
lory for manufacturers who are (ferchanee exhibi
tors on the same grounds, there is no reason why
the department should be tender of food adul
terators iu general. It is of little use to a mau
to be told that out of ten samples of canned fruit
seven were loaded with salicylic acid. .The in
formation may make him miserable, but it will
not give him protection or help him to protect
himself. Report show that high priced goods
arc as likely to be drugged as cheap ones, and
the consumer is at the mercy of the manufac
turer unless some one comes to his rescue. If
the government undertakes to analyze foods for
the protection of the public it should spread
broadcast witii its analyses the names of the mak
er" of the articles examined. The truth is no
libel, and if a poison is found in a certain brand
of faxxl it is right to say exactly in wlwt it was
found so that people can avoid it. Perhaps they
might in ignorance turn for a time to foods equ
ally adulterated, but with an active department
those, too, would be exposed, and at the same
time the government analyses of articles houestly
fabricated would direct consumers in the right
path, as well as warn them from the wrong.
There ought to lie some way to make this
knowledge of what to buy and what to leave
alone general. Too frequently, just as at Buf
falo, those who learn that vitriol is put in some
of the canned vegetables which they buy are not
told just which of them are so treated, and such
information as is embodied in reports as to fac
tories and brands does not circulate widely
among those who are the principal consumers of
the goods, and no attempt is made to render pa
pular available the fact that a certain brand of
peaches contains formaldeyde, as there is to tell
people that they are in danger from a counterfeit
five dollar bill which happens to be afloat. The
money counterfeiter does no more harm than the
food counterfeiter. They are both frauds, and
the government officials who detect them should
advertise them as such so that no innocent person
will be wronged. The food adulterator is en
titled to no protection. Every brand found not
true to its represented character should be rut h
lessly exjrosed. If tliat course .hurts' .anybody's
trade it will be because their trade is dishonest
and ought to be hurt.

LAP J Kb' HOME JOURNAL,
Not many Americans know that Hiram U.
Grant was the eighteenth President of the United
States. Yet it is true, fur "Ulysses Simpson"
was never legally the name of our greatest Geu
eral. This interesting fact is brought out by
Franklin ii. Y iley in the JjiiUe' lloiiw Journal
for September iu "Famous People as We Do Not
Kuow Them." The story of how it came alxiut
was told by a Member ot Congress Thomas L.
Hamer who recommended young Grant as a
candidate for West Point in 1839. Mr. Hamer
had long beeu u friend of the Grants, but when
he came to make out the application papers for
Ulysses he could nut recall the boy's full name.
So, deciding that he was doubtless named for his
motners family, lie wrote it "Ulysses Simpson
Grant." Thus w;is it recorded at Wal Pnint
and though the attention of the officials was
several limes called to the errer they did not feel
authorized to correct it This uame was jii initi
ally adopted, and by it Grant was, and always
will be, known. But as fur any record of (he
birth of "Ulysses Simpson Gran ," that does not
exist.

paper In the year 1882 and continued to
receive and take the Imlianian from the
postoffice regularly until Decenilier,
1897, when he decided he did not want
the paper any longer, and ordered it
discontinued but refrained from paying
the amount due. During his delinqu
ency twice yearly he recived a state
ment of his acccunt by mall, but his
dead-beat proclivities were too much
for bun to overcome, and when seen a
number of times by a traveling agent,
told the latter he never expected to pay
his delinquency from the fact that he
"never ordered the paper." Duvall
caught himself while on the witness
stand iu the circuit court by displaying
a receipt for four months subscription,
declaring he only ordered the paper for
that length of time, yet continuing to
take the paper from the postofflee
regularly aitt had value received. The
court held that as ong as Duvall
continued to take the paper from the
postofflee he recieved goods of value
and was liable for the payment thereof.
The suit was originally brought before
Justice K. M. Deweese iu Clay town
ship, where the defendant resided, and
that justice decided the case in favor
of Duvall. This decision, for reasons
best known to the publishers of the
ndtolton themselves, was entirely un
expected, and an appeal was promptly
taken to the circuit court.
