e
stead of a cents a mile. That the bill re
ported . by thla subcommittee, which Is
composed of Senators Wlltso and Hanna
and Representatives Kelfer and Marsh,
will be approved by the Jolng committee
there- Is not the least doubt.
Member of the legislature aro woll satis
fled with the progress being made by the
Joint committees appointed to get up rail
road measures and not a member expressed
himself but who has said tho Joint com
mittee bill will go through both house
and senate exactly - as they aro reported
by the committees. "Because a certain
demo-pop organ, which Is trying to defeat
aH the legislation promised by the repub
licans, has seen fit to knock on the Joint
committee and accused tho members of
bad faith, a number of letters have been:
received from out in the state asking
whether the stories printed aro true.
Sneaker Nettleton, who In the minds of
creryono who knows him stands for In
tegrity and honesty, said yesterday ho Is
well satisfied with tho progreas being made
and that all the pledges made to the peo
ple will bo kept... A senator who la In close
touch with the situation and knows tho
sentiment of the members, said this after
noon: Pledsea Will Bo Kept.
"Every pledge made to tho people will bo
kept. There Is not the. least doubt of that.
Tin things published In tho demo-pop paper
about the committees being alow and dila
tory are false. The committees appointed
to got up railroad measures are doing their
work satisfsctorlly and every measure re
ported back with tha endorsement of 'the
Joint committees will be passed by both
houses with no changes being made."
The subcommittee appointed to get up
tho antl-pass Mil Is not yet through with
Its work but will be shortly. The only dif
ference of opinion among tho members Is
regarding the exemptions. Some of the
committeemen even want to go so far as
to cut out railway employes, but others
do not.
Representative Kelfer of Nuckolls county,
head of the committee on finance ways
and means, Is the son of one of the best
known men In the United States, Joseph
Warren Kelfer, at one time speaker of the
national house of representatives; a major
general In the northern army during the
civil war and the author of a book, "Slav
ery and Four Years of War." The Ne
braska' Kelfer Is named for his father, and
the very prominent position he occupies In
the Nebraska legislature gives him prac
tically the same power as his Illustrious
father wielded as' speaker of the national
house of representatives. Tho senior Kelfer
wag born In Ohio In 1838 and Is still living.
That tho Nebraska Keifer Inherited much
of his father ability to gain the good will
of those with whom he associates, no on
hero disputes because he Is popular In the
house and whilo he has so far occupied
very little time on tho floor In debate when
he does talk he says things which have
weight. ,

State Pare Food Laws.
TJnlfofnv otato legislation' regarding food
adulteration tb supplement ' the new na
tional pure food law promises to be the
next thing to which the General ' Federa
tion of Women' Club will be asked to
give Its attention. Mrs. Walter M. Miller,
chairman of the federation' pure food
committee, ha Issued the following let
ter: ,
The national pure food bill, for which
wo labored last year. Is an accomptshed
fact.t It la now known ajid referred to
on tne statute hooks as the food and drug
act, June 30. 19u6. and it went Into effect
January 1. 1907.
To the buyer of food It guarantees tho
true label on bottle, can and other pack
age, and the absence of preservatives snd
coloring matters that have been declared
Injurious; while, for th Information of
the buyer of medicine. It requires on the
label a statement as to the amount of
dangerou and hablj-formlng drugs that
the compound may contain. - Meat Inspec
tion can be obtained by any abattoir with
an accompanying certificate that allows
the meat to be sold outside of the stste
In which It was produced. Dr. Bigelow
of the bureau of chemistry Is of the opin
ion that It Is the strongest and most com
plete national food law In existence, and
already the compliance with Its provisions
on tho part of manufacturers has been
very general.
The food and drug act, like most of our
notional laws, cannot . Interfere with the
right of the sovereign states to regulate
commerce within, their own borders, but
foods and drugs are not wholly consumed
In the state that produces them. More
and -more the manufacturer looks to the
whole country for his market, henco his
willingness to conform his process and his
labels to meet the requirements of this
law which regulate Interstate commerce.
Since the national Inspectors will work In
clone aocord with state authorities. It Is
matter of first Importance that the state
laws shall be uniform with the national
law.
Aid to tho Bayer.
The national law has lifted a great burden
from the buyer. It remains for us now- to
read our labels with care and to cultivate
discernment as to the quality and flavor
of different brands of food. We must also
keep up our interest in the question by
noting the enforcement of the law and the
Interpretation of Its provisions as rases
come up for trial, and especially should w
note On what points the United States law
comes in conflict with the law ot our own
state.
In asking for Improvements In these state
laws or for amendments or additional o ex
propriations for the national law the help
of women's organisations will again be of
value.
Your committee recommend that the
work of women Interested in pure food
should be directed for tho next two years
to the improvement of:
, 1. The milk supply..
1. The sanitary condition of markets and
provision stores.
While great Improvements hsve taken
place in certain localities It must be said
that the -laws governing milk and market
InHpectlnn are. In general, neither adequate
nor well enforced, and principally for ths
reason that they are not supported by In
te'llsent public opinion. It is the privilege
of women to help in the education of public
opinion. Without higher standards held by
the general public no permanent Improve- ,
ment will bo seen. , ,
Plans far the Year.
We earnestly advise the following method
of A"rocelure for the current year: The
holding of meetings that shall t addressed
by health officers, milk Inspectors, phvsl.
clans, nurses, dairymen or any others wh
have knowledge of the subject, the talks

value of milk, especially for the child: milk
production at the farm, with details ot
milking, fooling snd shipping; the sources
of pollution; milk distribution; the Journey
to the consumer by rail or wagon; tnetood
and bad milk container; the care of milk
after It reaches the consumer; the law and
Its enforcement.
You will be almost sure to find In 'your
community heHlth officer, physician or
nurse who knows Just what steps to take
to Improve the local milk supply. It Is
such a one whose hands you must uphold,
or, failing to have a leader, you should
organise and demand better laws and their
enforcement.
Mr. Lane of the bureau of animal In
dustry tells us that the most feasible way
to Improve the milk supply Is to Inspect
and grade the dairy farms, publishing the
names of those that reach a nigh grade.
For the season of 1907-8 the committee
expects to offer detailed suggestions as to
market Inspection.
For personal or for club study your com
mittee would recommend the following:

following: "During the negotiation of the
treaty one of the negotiator asked this
hypothetical question: 'If Japan became
Involved with Germany upon a question en
tirely local to Germahy and Involving the
situation in the far east, would the treaty
require Great Britain to support Japan?"
Both the negotiator agreed that Groat
Britain would hot be required to support
Japan under such conditions. The official
pointed out that this hypothesis was prac
tically the same as the existing San Fran
cisco controversy, which IS local' to Cali
fornia and does not Involve the status ln
tho far oast as la et forth ln th preamble
of th treaty."
The foregoing, however. Is merely an ex
pression of views. There ha never been

For a period of thirty-six hour the des
perate man, without having partaken of a
drop of water or an ounce of food, kept
up his walk against fteeslng and death. At
the end of this period the storm had abated

find his way to the ranch of "Reddy" Hale.

CHURCH NEEDS MONEY
(Continued from First Page.)
terest in matters which ho regards of sec
ondary Importance, the members of the
sacred college have discovered. For as far
as the personal opinion of the pope Is con
cefned the entire diplomatic personnel
might be pensioned off. Tho pope has fre
quently expressed himself a being satis
fled that the loyal support of his bishops
is all that he requires and that he is not
greatly concerned with tho temporal affairs
of the various nations. Undoubtedly there
is, much in this point of view, though his
holiness has undoubtedly, discovered that
general principles do not always apply;
that In a case Ilk France a political and
church upheaval may create so much chaos
that It I Impossible to tell just wbo.oan
and who cannot be relied upon in an emer
gency and In a fight to a bitter end.
When everything Is said and done, how
ever, the feeling appears to be In Cathollo
circles that 'the French government haa
done all that It can do. Even one of the
Protestant papers prints the following:
"The one and only concern of Catholic
France is It churches, for the ancient
hollowed, and splendid stones of Norre
Dame, Char tree. AmJsms. Reims and core
of other cathedral. Touch them and Cath
ollo Franco will rise. Tho- government
knows better than to touch them. The
Vatloan apparently knows that Franco will
never touch them."

PIERRE, 8. D., . Feb. 1 Special Tele

from point within fifty miles of hero Indi
cate the storm of Yesterday afternoon and
last night was a severe bllssard out In the
open, but, luckily, did not last long. Bo far
as known no lives were lost, but several
who were caught on tha prairie had a hard
time to find shelter.
When the storm was at Its height the en
gineer on the east bound train from Midland
luckily saw two little tots near the track
who had evidently wandered from home In
the mild weather early In th day. Ths
train was stopped and they were taken on
board, there being no house la sight, and
were carried to Caps, th first town, to be
cared for and sent home. If they had not
been discovered they would certainly hav
perished in the storm, as they were badly
frosted.
Three hay haulers north of this city were
compelled to abandon their wagons and,
after practically giving up hope, reached
the bluffs along the river and In their pro
tection got home -with their teams.
The storm, added to tho snow already
covering th prairie, make It all the harder
for stock to secure anything to eat.
