GLORIOUS SUNSHINE. Delightful llai?i>?--I*?-stiferous Grass --Luxuriant llMy?Corn in th?*!??olid State--Couiamin?ted Product ol the Dairy?Sick and Dyin^ Babies. To the Editor Press Rnd Banner: Kiin follows droughts and sunshine follows clouds, always lias aud always will; then why Krutuble and worry about one of the laws of nature tbat you have not a particle of control over In the world, 'l'he best thing U) uo ib iu huuiiiii ttua iive wuu n cuuMjiouut that you have done your part to the best ol your ability, believing that all things will work out right In the end. Two weelts of glorious sunshine has followed the wet aud cloudy spell, enabling the farmers by a persistent and bard struggle with General Greeu. to once more see his prospects somewhat orlghter ihau they were len days ago, but It ban luktrn work, and constant work, to win In this great battle Ibat has been waging the past two weeks. Ii has beea from early morn till dusky eve wlib but little time for anything else to have gotten the crops in as good condition as tbey areaml sill I there are some who are not out of the grass yet. The demands at a time like this un a farmer are great. Everything needing work at the same time, ana milling to do, presnes him to his utmost capacity, and yet if he does not watch close something will burn. borne of the farmers in our neighborhood who did not reduce their acreage have beeu In the grass up to their necks aud still have grass to burn. Tbey are beginning to believe that less cotton would have been the best policy. Their Idea, like thousandth of others, was to profit by the other fellows' reduction UUU UtJ luogaiun, uub ib ouviuo uun luat uo will be the looser Instead ot the gainer. On our farm we are going over our cotton tbe third time with tbe plow and the second times with the tbe boe. We al60 have our corn worked up nicely. Had we not reduced our acreage we would have bad grass like those other fellows. How about your corn ? Did you lorgelall about it in your eagerness to gel your cottun worked out like my neighbor, who found when he did get to his corn the only way in tbe world to clean it was to rebed his ground and plant It over, even though the corn wan knee high and over. We trust there were but few in his Ox, however. If there are any In a similar oondlilon my advice would be to sow it In peas and oorn.and let's not work hall v.year trying to kill a crop of bay to have to buy It back another year; brcause It Is easier to raise it than to buy It, and then It Is not adulterated. To some that may sound funny, but did you ever examine It? Cottonseed meal Is being adulterated with hulls to an . alarming extent. A year or so ago cottou seed meal leu almost at fine as dour, and now it feels almost like grits, and still we goon submissively, taking It as a matter of courte, as this Is an age of adulteration. Almost, II if not everything in the way of food Is adulterated more or lesB. Why Is It that things have assumed such a shape ? Is it for greed and selfish gain? What Is to become ol the people If this outrage continues 10 be perpetrated on them at the extent it has developed in the past few years t Why can we not havt a pare food law, or force tbe manufacturers to have their products analyzed and labeled, showing what per cent, ii pure and what per cent, is adulterated. Why was It that ten thousand Infants died last year In New York irom poisoned milk? The daliymen use a preparation of wood alcohol In the milk to make It retain its sweetness longer and to give it more body, which 4o Hflofh !n Infonm onH fhov trnnv it. tnn mui yet they go on from year to year poisoning IbousaDde of Innocent children and yet It 1* allowed to he done. On April lit at a meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of tht State Dairy and Food Department held in Chicago, reports were read snowing that tnt astounding number of 445,000 Infanta died tu the United States last year from the effecis ol food poisons. J.N. Hurtz, Secretary of the Board of Health of Indiana, claimed |tbal t" per cent, of the total death* or infants In thi.-> country was due to poisons administered lu Impure food Not only do babies suffer from these pot* -, ons that go Into a lot of the things that \v> ' buy, but all ages suffer trom the polBons, especially In canned goods. In syrup the sugarls extracted and glucose Is substituted. We have lard labeled pure leaf lard, yet a certain per cent. Is cotton on product. I am told that a certain man wbc owns many acres of a tine white obalky clay out of which he Is making lots ol money. The bulk of tblB clay Is being used for highly useful and legitimate purposes, such as fin? finishing brick, earthenware, imitation marule, etc., yet lam sorry to say that car loads arc being ground Into fine powder to be used lu * mixing in flour. Tblnk of the magnitude ol this commercial fraud. Think or sitting down to a breakfast of hoi biscuit composed partly of chalk, lubricated ? with gluciose. Don't you tblnk you had b?t' terralpe these things to you will know what you are eating, than to eat a whole lot of clay and giuciose. ir we contluue trie use 01 mis adnltered food, I suspect we will have to have f a copper smith to relieve our stomach or at least be a little careful at any rate, until oui congressmen can have ibe courage ond backbone to pass a nations1 pure food law.

An exchange says the following gem from an unknown author should be pasted In every man's bat as a reminder of bis dul> wheh be desires to speak 111 of any woman Remember this: "Beware how yon speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she haf been building it, of the wounds received, 01 tbe tolls and privations endured; and let nc suspicion follow her actions. Tbe purity of h woman is tbe salvation of tbe race, and hope of future greatness and the redemption ol man. Wipe out ber purity and man Minks beneath the wave of di6pair with not a single star to guide his lifu into a channel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever grew, so the vilest can ruin the purest character. Ueneral News Notes. Free Lance.
