Operation of the I
Pure Food Law.
Food Commissioner Jolmson. is Putting -
ting Forth Efforts to Prevent Adulteration -
teration and Short Weights.
A numbcr ot prosccutlons have
been instituted and a numbcr of
fines paid by meat dcalcrs for
violations of t he Pure li'ood J4aw
in the adulteration of hamburger
steak and sausage. 111 every
packing house or butcher shop
there is every day morc or less
old and unfit meat that ought to
be thrown away. 'l'e save tbis
meat from waste by making .it
into hamburger or 'sausage apd
to brighten its color , deodorize
and disguise its real character is
one of the problems with cvery
unscrupulous mcat dealer. Meat
preservativcs undcr various
names , all containing sulphites
to a greater or less extent , are on
the market and it is the' busincss
of the vendors of thcse unwholesome -
some prcservatives to urge the
sale of them and the use of them
upon the butchcrs aud meat
dealers.
'l'he unscrupulous dealer readily -
ily buys these preservatives regardless -
gardless of their injurious effccts
upon his sausage and hamburger
steak , becaus thcre IS profit
to him , not only because he can
save and sell meat that othcrwise
wou1d be thrown away at the end
of each day's business , but he
bas opportunity , especially in
the large cities , to buy meat that
is practially spoiled , at a very
low figure , ancl the tcmpation to
use the preservaties is more than
he can resist.
Chica o is the headquarters for
the manufacture of these pre-
servativcs and Omaha is the
p int from which they are dis-
tnbuted throughout Nebraska.
The sale of this stuff under various -
ious names is carri d on more or
lcss on the sly. So , also , the use
of it is a sccret in the butcher
shop. 1'he butcher knows very
wcll the real character of the
preservativc. He lmows that
anytbing that preserves the
meat except ice is more or less
harmful to the person who eats
mcat. It is the business of these
unnaturai preser\'ativcs to pre-
\'ent the disintcgration of the
meat and this busincss of the preservative -
servative is in dircct opposition
to the gastric juice and the saliva -
iva , for their function is to di-
gcst and to sepcrate the mcat ,
when it gets into the stomach ,
to dissolve it as soon as possible
so that each part of tbe body
may take up and use the particular -
ular elcment that it requires. It
is the busincss of the gastric !
juice to disintegrate and dissolve. I
it is the business of these suI-
phites , these presen'atives , to
bold the meat in its natural
state. As soon as the prcserava-
tive gets down into the stomach
of a child along with the meat
there cotUmences a struggle between -
tween thesc two opposite forces ,
the one trying to dissolve thc
food and the otber trying to prevent -
vent it. 'l'he preservatIVes hinder -
der cl1gcstion and the stomach IS
overworked and ultimately seriously -
iously injured in the extra effort
required to countcract the in-
flucnce of these preservatives.
'l'he kidneys also are overworked
il the necessity to throw off and
eliminate from the body the suI-
phMr that gets into the stomach
as a part of the prescrvatives.
It is a part of the business of
the Pure Ii'ood I.4aw to stop the
usa of these meat prcscrvatives
in this state. li'ood Commissioner -
sioner Johnson has been constantly -
stantly importuncd by the mauu-
facturers and vendors of thcse
preservatives to allow thcir use
in Nebr& . ' > lm on the theory that
there will al ways be more or lcss
old and unfit meat put into the
hamburger and sausage and that
it is hctter to have this mcat pre-
scrvcd , and that it is less injurious -
ious for the consumer to cat thc
preserved meat than the spoiled
mcat. It is also urgcd that the
driving out of the use of thcse
prcscr\'a ti vcs lessons the : wail-
ahle supply and raiscs the price.
Always and always at ever , } '
point the Pure Food Law is
threatencd with an advance in
the price. 1'he butchcrs will
raise the price of hamburger and
sausage if they are not permitted
to use the preservatives. 'fhe
pac1dng' houscs will raise the
price If they are compelled to
brand thclr meat packages and
givc up the graft that the , } ' have
uow on the sale of tons and tons
of cheap brown papcr for which
thcy p y two cen ts a pound iln.d
for wluch thej' charge the retail
meat dealers 22 cents a pound.
If the short weight trick is
stopped in butter the price will
go up. Well if that bc true , or
not truc , in some cases , what of
it ? 'l'he cousumer wants a square
deal as to the amount he gets
for his moncy , and he wants to
Imow the tnith as to the charac-
tcr of what he buys.If the con-
sumcr , bj' reason of this law , is
made certaiu that thc butter
pac1mgc I'fntains H , ounces and
that it iALI'puest butter with no
adulter < l ( } 11 and no overloading"
in w < > igbl by extra water and
salt he will be better satisfied
with thc package of butter even
if.thc , . , price is raised a cent or
two on the pound. If honcsty is
established in the food packagc ,
hOl1csty and certainty as to the
character and quantity , the pricc ,
through open and fair compe-
tion will takc care of itsclf. If
neccssary , let the price be raised
on the milk , the cream , the but.
ter aud the meat that comcs originally -
iginally from the farm , but let
thcre bc honesty and a square
deal in the grocery store aud the
mcat store as to the character
and quantity which the consumer -
sumer gets for his money.
Rural Delivery
Parcels Post.

An Important Measure lIas ; Been Introduced -
troduced Into Congress by
Senator Burnham.
Senator Burnham of New
Hampshire has introduccd in
coqg'Jess a tlleasure of distinct
imparlance to rural 'iutcrests'
throughout the United Statcs.
It is a bill to provide a rural free
delivery parcel post for merchandise -
dise and other articles actually
mailed on rural delivery routes.
1'he rural free delivery routes
now numbel : . more than 38,000 ,
and on them in excess' f 15,000-
000 people receiv a daily postal
scrvice.
'l'he measure introduced by
Scnator Burnham has the endorsement -
dorsement of the president and
Postmaster General Meycr. It
provides , in brief , for the estab.
lishment of a domestic rural parcel -
cel post at spe ial rates of P.9st-
age for the delivery of 100dstuff ,
dry goods , drugs , books and uther
mcrchandise. 1'he rate of postage -
age shall be five cents for the
first pound and two cents fr each
additional Round or fraction
thereof , and on parcels weighing
less than one pound as follows :
'l'wo ounces or less , 1 cent ; over
two and under four ounces , 2
cents ; over four and not exceeding -
ing eight ounces , 3 cents ; ovcr
eight and not exceccling twelve
ounces , 4 cents ; and over twelve
ounces and under one pound , 5
ccnts.
' 1'wo important limitations are
placed on the usc of thc proposcd
parcel post by the following provisions -
visions :
"That nothing herein contained -
ed shall be taken as authori.ing :
the acceptancc or delivery at the
special ratcs of postage hercin
providcd of any parcel olTercd by
any person acting as agent or
representativc , upon commissioner
or otherwisc , for an\ ' person or
company not residcWnt on such
rura ; delivery route.
" 'I'hat only such parcels shall
be receivcd for delivery at the
special rates of postage hcrein
provided as are offcrcd by bona
tide merchants or dealcrs whose
regular places of business are on
rural deli vcry rou tes covered by
this act , in the ordinary an'l (
regular course of their business
and by rcsiden ts on such routes
in their indivudial capacitj' . "
1'he bill provides that the parcels -
cels carried shall not wcigh more
than cleven pounds or be more
than three feet ix iuchcs in
length. Perishable articles will
bc sent at the sender's risk and
will not b accepted at any post-
omce more than threc hours before -
fore the dcparture of the mail
from the office.

Protection amI Exports.
gv r since the republican
I party regaincd control of thc
I govcrnment and passcd a protec-
tivc tarilT law our exports of man-
ufacturel articles havc becn. .
g-rowing by leaps and bounds. ]
We were told that the McKinley I
bill would destofj' our forcign
trade , that the cost of manufacture -
ture here , under our high scale
of wages , would be so heav ) ' that
cumpetition with foreign factories -
ies with their ewer WlgC ; scalcs ,
would be entlrcly out of the
qucstion. 1'he rcsult , howcvcr ,
has bcen just the opposite to
what was predicted. Instead of
falling 01T our exports have in-
crcased , while wage scales have
been going highcr and highcr
and largelj' increascd numbers of
American laborcrs have been
finding continual employmcnt in
our mills and factories. 'l'here
is a reason for this , and it is not
difficult to lind. It lies in the
fact that America produccs the
very best quality of manufactured -
ured artiolcs produccd anywhere
on earth , and the foreigner who
who wants the bcst , has bccome
accustomed' to demanding the
American-made article. The
sldllcd labor employcd in our factories -
tories excls that of any other
country. It is paid better wages
and is of a h L'hcr order of intcl-
ligencc. 'l'h 'natural result follows -
lows ; the goods produced are of
bettcr quality aud are sure to
win in the marl < ets of the world.
The Presidential
Winners Selected
A Washington Correspondent is Authority -

a the next Presi'lential elcction.
' ( 'here'lI ue no chance for a favorite -
ite son or a dark horsc ; thcse men
have been picked as the ultimate
choice of the two big parties-
picked by men who make their
living iu this way , and for this
reason they claim that they arc
pretty apt to be right. Washington -
ington receivcd a visit this week
from a western campaign button
manufacturer , and accorchng to
him the hutton-mal < crs do not
plan to spend alJ cent on the
likcnessl's of li'airbanl < s , Cannon ,
[ i'oraker , Knox , or any other possible -
sible piece of presitlential tim-
bcr. lIe claims that he and his
colleagues in the button industry'
have carefully shlcd up the situation -
ation , with the result aforesaid.
'l'he production of th campaign
buttons which retail for a nicl < cl
costs thousands of dollars , and
the work of turning' them out in
sufficicn t q uan ti ties must com-
mense weeks bcfore the demand ,
so , the visitor pointcd out , the
men who put their money into
this business have to examinc
and wcigh the situation pretty
carefull v bcfore decicling whose
portrait"s to put on the little
discs. However , this manufacturer -
urer only represcnts one button
house , and he may have been
guidcd by his pcrsonal prefer-
cnces , othcr manufacturers may
be equally sure that other buttons
will uc in ( lcmand , and in this
thought there still is left some
ray of hope for the other candt-
dates for the nominations of their
parties.

who call. 'l'hose cascs that are
found to be curable will be trcat-
ed frcc of charge except for the
cost of medicines used. 'l'hose
.
cases that are found.to be incurable -
able are told so and will not be
treated at an ) ' price as it is frankly
the rule of the Hot Springs Doctors -
tors to acccpt no incurable cases
for treatment.
'l'hese great specialists have a
national reputation for curing all '
chronic diseases of the blood ,
nerves , skin , Iddneys , liver , bowels -
els , heart and lungs. Hot
Springs treatment cures even
after all other mcthods have
fallcd. Nearly every day the
I.4incoln daily papcrs contain
accounts of wonderful cures that
,
have bcen made by these doctor " ,
in 'their r.4 ncoln institute. ast'
week a man who had been paral- .
hIed and walked only ou crutches
for .years and who had been paid

abilty , after a short course of
Hot Springs treatmcnt was not
only ableto , walk without crutches

and multitudes of chronic ail-
mcnts. 'I'hcse cases are of Lincoln -
coln people' who were curcd in
their own homes. 'l'he facts are
sworn to by them and thcir
frien'ls , Is it an , } wonder that
such curcs are told of by leading
daily papcrs ? Many of these
cures seem almost like miracles.
Dr Kinsey's object in making
this threc-day visit to Broken

whom he can cure and thus show
the pcople what tltis Hot Spring's
treatment will do. lIe on 1\ ' solicits -
licits dimcnlt cases , cases that
other doctors have failed to cure.
Hot Springs treatmcnt is cn-
dorscd by the United States gov-
crnmcnt. 'l'hc am.y and navy

license to treat chronic diseascs.
Dr. Kinsey's lmowl dge is so
complete that he is able to diagnose -
nose an } ' case , in a momcnt's
tunc without asking the patient
a single qucstion. lIe will des-
cri be and locate cver ) ' ache and
pain.As
As stated above , consultation
