Iu the days when repainting meant a
geueral turning of Jungs upside down,
a two-weeks' "cluttering up" of the
place with kegs, cans 'and pails, a lot
of inflammable and ill-smelling materials
standing around, etc.. the droad of
painting time was natural. So was the
dread of soap-making time, of shirtmaking
time, of candle-moulding time
and the like. But we live in an ase
, when soap conies from the storp better
and cheaper than we can make it,
IU when shirts are sold ready made for
"Jess than we can buy the materials.
/ when we can burn coal oil or gas
cheaper than we cau make tallow-fandies,
and when all we have to do when
we want to repaint is to pick out our
colors from the card at the store and
-"pay the painter for putting on the
paint.
When ii comes to picking out the
paint it is not necessary that oue
should be a paint chemist any more j
than one should be an oil chemist wheu
buying kerosene, or a department store
buyer when selecting shirts, or a sonp
chemist wheu buying soap. All that
1 1 Is necessary to insure a fair show is
some knowledge of the character of
? our paint dealer and the reputation
and standing of the maker of the paint
offered. Nor must one ?xpect to buy
a pure iinseed oil paint for the price
of liuseed oil alone. It cau be taken
for granted when any oue offers to
sen dollar Dins at a discount;. ne is mining
n liook for "suckers." So it can
be :nken for granted when any one?
' whether mail order house, pa kit manufacturer
or dealer?offers paint too
cheap, he is bidding for the trade of
"suckers," no matter what his promises.
But paints sold in responsible stores
tinder the brands of reputable manufacturers
are all good products, differring
from one another in the less important
matter of the solid pigments contained.
but practically alike in having
their liquid portions composed essentially
of pure linseed oi;. The competition
of the better class of paints
has driven inferior goods practically
out of the market, and no manufacturer
of standing now puts out a poor
paint, under his own name at least.
As to guarantees on paint, they can
be taken for what they are worth.
.Any reputable manufacturer will make
good any defect actually traceable to |
the paint itself and not co improper j
use or treatment of it. The really im- I
portant guarantee which the paint i
buyer should exact from liis dealer is i
that the paint is made by u inanu- j
facturer that knows his business and I

CONGRESS ASKED TO ACT j
Facking Houses Not Kept Reasonably
Clean Minute Inspection
Needsd --- Product Should Be j
Supervised From "Hoof to Can"
Washington, D. C.?The President
sent to Congress the report of Messrs.
Reynolds and Neill on conditions in 1
the Chicago Stock Yards, accompanied '
by a message recommending immediate .
legislation to provide a drastic inspection
of the yards and packing houses
by the Federal Government. The j
iTOsiuem s message is as iuuu?s. I
"The Senate and House of Representa- 1
tives:
"I transmit herewith the report of j
Mr. James Branson Reynolds and Com- ]
missioner Charles I\ Neill, the special <
committee whom I appointed to investigate
into the conditions of the stock
yards of Chicago and report thereon to
me- This report is of a preliminary na- <
turc.
"I submit it to you now because it
shows the urgent need of immediate
action by the Congress in the direction l
of providing a drastic and thorough- (
going inspection by the Federal Gov- (
eminent of aH stock yards and packing
houses and of their products so far *j
as the latter enter into interstate or j
foreicn commerce. i
"The conditions shown by even this
short inspection to exist in the Chicago t
Stock Yards are revolting, it is imperatively
necessary in the interest of
health and of decency that they should
be radically changed. Under the existing
law it is wholly impossible to secure
satisfactory results.
"When my attention was first directed
to this matter an investigation was
made under the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the Department of Agriculture.
When the preliminary statements
of this investigation were
brought to my attention they showed
such defects in the law and such
wholly unexpected conditions that I
deemed it best to have a further immediate
investigation by men not connected
with the bureau, and accordingly
appointed Messrs. Reynolds and
Neill.
. "It was impossible under the existing
law that satisfactory work should
be done by the Bureau of Animal Industry.
I am now. however, examining
the way in which the work actually
was done.
"Before I had received the report of
r? 1 /IVnill T hnrl Hi.

rooted that labels placed upon any $
package of moat food products should jstate
only that the carcass of the ani- a
mal from which the meat was taken
had been inspected at the time of v
slaughter. n
. "If inspection of moat food products s
at all stacres of preparation is not so- j
cured by the passage of the legislation d
recommended I shall be compelled to u
order that inspection labels and certifi- b
cates 011 canned products shall not be j
used hereafter. b
"The report shows that the stock a
yards and packing houses are not kept o
even reasonably clean, and that the s
method of handling and preparing food }
products is uncleanly and dangerous to o
health. Under existing law the Xa- p
tional Government has no power to en- r
force inspection of the many forms of j
prepared meat food products that are \
daily going from the packing houses p
into interstate commerce. Owing to
an inadequate appropriation the De- t
partment of Agriculture is not even y
able to place inspectors in all estab- a
lishments desiring them. d
"The present law prohibits the shipment
of uninspected meat to foreign q
countries, but there is no provision for- e
bidding the shipment of uninspected e
meats in interstate commerce, and thus s
tlin nvoniM nf intprstnta commerce are c
left open to traffic in diseased or
spoiled meats. If. as has been alleged
on seemingly good authority, further
evils exist, such as the improper use
of chemicals and dyes, the Government (lacks
power to remedy them.
"A law is needed which will enable
the inspectors of the general Govern- j
ment to inspect and supervise from the c
hoof to the cap the preparation of the r
meat product. The evil seems to be t]
mtfch less in the sale of dressed car- $
ensses than in the sale of canned and ?
other prepared products: and very s
much less as regards products sent j,
abroad than as regards those used at s
home. t
"In my judgment the expense of the p
inspection should be paid by a fee t
levied on each animal slaughtered. If i
this is not done the whole purpose of 0
the law can at any time be defeated c
through an insufficient appropriation,
and whenever there was no particular t
public interest in the subject it would j
be not only ojjisy but natural thus to t
make the appropriation insufficient, s
If it were not for this consideration I a
siiouiu iavur uie vruverijcifjii j
for the inspection. I
'The alarm expressed in certain r
quarters concerning this feature should e
he allayed by a realization of the fact i
that in no case, under such a law, will 1
the cost of inspection exceed eight i
cents per head. i
"I call special attention to the fact I
that this report is preliminary and that c
the investigation is still unfinished. It
is not yet possible to report on the alleged
abuses in the use of deleterious
chemical compounds in connection with j

At Jadraqua, a village near Torrejon 1
de Ardos, an arrest has been made, '
that of a youth, who before the bomb 1

Madrid. He is charged with having 1
been an accomplice of Morales.
It has been learned that the bomb 1
was made of the iron of a small safe,
such as may readily be rented in Ma- (

When Morales at S o'clock Saturday <

he was disguised as a workingman, j s
wearing a blue suit and white canvas l
shoes. He asked a girl in charge of ]
the office at what time the night train j ;

late at night. At a workman's inn i
Morales cailed for fish, wine and bread, <
but ate little.

read the descriptions of the man seen i
on the balcouy, noticed Morales' re- i
semblance to it and suspected that he j :
was Jinthor of the bomb outrages. I i
When he ordered him to lialt Morales I 1
attempted flight, but there were other i
policemen in the 'bus, who followed i
the murderer. When Morales saw the ]
hopelessness of his flight, he turned I
his weapon upon himself and sent a 1
bullet into his bead. 1
An examination of the pockets of i
the dead man showed that they con- <
tained $30 in money and a small supply 1
of bread and cheese, but there was i
nothing in them that would give a j
clew as to his identity. This fact I :
created a doubt that the man was !
Morales, but when the Governor of i
Madrid arrived with Senor Cuesta,
identification was immediate and posi- ]
tive. The body was then brought to j
Madrid. At first there was a desire j
to bury it at Torrejon de Ardos, but j
when this was suggested tin/ villagers j
indignantly refused to permit the body
to repose in their town. .
Villagers of Torrejon de Ardos give ]
a graphic description of the capture i
and death of Morales. They say he
appeared to be greatly fatigued and
fell asleep on a bench in the station, j
On euteriug the inn he called for .
dinner, but scarcely tasted a morsel. | ]
The proprietress of the inn discussed j
with him the prevailing topic of the (
throwing of the b9mb at Madrid, declaring
it was a heinous crime. At this I
the stranger shifted nervously, saying, j .
"Every one has his own ideas, whicn
should be respected." Soon after that
he tried to leave the town. 1
The body of Morales was exposed in
the afternoon for the purpose of allaying
public indignation. Thousands of
persons surged before the municipal
morgue seeking to get in line to be
iidmitted to the room where the body ,
lay, but cavalry and infantry blocked
the efforts of the throng, which murmured
imprecations against the
assassin. Public feeling was intense, | <
chiefly because of the groat number of ! j
victims.

CHIEF CM TOOK GRAFT
loseph Boyer Kept All of the
Money For Himself.
SUM OF $57,000 FROM MINERS
Others Began the Practice and
Boyer Says He Continued It
Because He Thought It Was
Customary.
Philadelphia, Pa.?That he accepted
;ifts of stock amounting to $11,900 and
money aggregating more than $40,000
from coal mining companies during a
period of three years was admitted by
Joseph Boyer, chief clerk in the office
)f A. W. Gibbs, superintendent of motive
power of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Mr. Boyer purchases the fuel
?oal used in the locomotives of the i
company, and the donors of tlie gifts
tvere the coal companies which furnish
he fuel to the railroad. Mr. Boyer
named five companies which allowed
liim from three to five cents on each
:on sold to the railroad company. He
said he, never asked for the allowance,
Jilt accepted it bccause he believed he
rt-as following a custom of the department.
A. W. Gibbs, Mr. Boyer's superior I
jfficer, on the stand said he was un- |
iware that such condition;} existed in i
Ills department.
Mr. Boyer said he was at first disiniliuod
to accept the money, but after :
thinking it over decided that he was I
loing nothing unusual.
"How long did you wrestle with your
conscience?" queried Commissioner
Clement. The witness did not know.
Mr. Boyer said he had 200 shares of
stock in the Jamison Coal Company,
,riven to him for his one-third interest
n the MacLaren Coal Company. The
MacLaren stock was given to him by
Mr. Jamison. He also had ten shares
11 ine vaney com vuiupuu^ uuu um.-cu
n the Edri Coal Company, which were
presented to liim by Captain Alfred
Hicks. Ten fc'.iares of Preston Coal
Company stock we>.- sent to him in
in envelope. He was not certain who
sent it, but thouglu it might have come
from Joseph Aiken, a railroad man. or
H. A. Kubn, an operator. All of these
stocks paid dividends. Mr. Boyer said
ilso that he holds an interest amounting
to ?8000 in undeveloped coal lands
311 the West Penn division. He paid
for this stock.
Mr. Boyer's stock holdings were only
i small portion of the gifts he admitted
receiving from coal mining companies.
In his capacity as purchaser of fuel
coal he testified that he had received
from five companies an allowance of
from three to five cents a ton on coal
used by the railroad for fuel purposes.
From the latter*part of 1003
to date he had received a total of more
than $40,000. The money had been
Grst sent to liim in cash, but later
cashiers' checks had been sent to
Cashier Hastings of the Second National
Bank of Altoona and'placed on
deposit for Boyer.
He was asked why he discriminated
In favor of Blythe & Co. He replied j
that lie did not discriminate, a's the
money came to him without solicitation
or any effort on his part. He believed
that the money had been paid
in the same manner to his predecessors
in office, and believed that he was only
following the custom of the department.
The companies which made him tne |
allowance were the Graff Coal Company,
the Clearfield and Granton Coal i
Company, the Dunkirk Coal Company,
Boyer, Smith & Turner and Thomas
BIythe & Co. The Graff Coal Company
allowed him five cents a ton
and the Clearfield and Granton Company
gave him a share in the profits
which amounted to not less than four
cents a ton. . BIythe & Co. gave him
three cents a ton.
, "What did you do with the money?"
asked Attorney Glasgow.
"I kept it all."
"Did you not share it with others in
the employ of the railroad?"
"No, sir; I kept it all."
"How do you account for getting it?"
"I imagine somebody had been getting
it before me."
Roughly estimated the money recehed
by Mr. Boyer from the companies
mentioned wns as follows:
Graff Coal Company, 915.000: Clearfield
and Granton Co.. .50000: Dunkirk
Company. $18.">0; Smith & Turner, $18,320;
Thomas BIythe, $2000.

the structures at the Buffalo, Chicago,
and St. iAjuis fairs, and Instead of being
demolished, will be transformed
into hives of industry. A company
headed by a Seattle capitalist has purchased
the grounds and buildings for N
$545,000, paying approximately $525,000
for the grounds and $20,000 for the
buildings, not including the forestry
building, which belongs to the city.
The buildings alone cost $407,000 less
than a year ago. The company's plans
are to establish factories which will
be housed in the exhibit buildings. It
is said that two woolen mills have
already spoken for space, and that a
big water pipe manufacturing firm Is
negotiating for the transportation
building. The exposition site, lying at
the very edge of the city, with an area
of some seventy acres convenient to
transportation, both rail and water,
is remarkably well adapted for manufacturing
purposes, and the buildings,
in the construction of which the very
best timber w: * used, will with slight
alterations stund the wear and tear
of years of active use. The investment
of outside capital in manufactories and
the resulting monthly payroll means
much for Portland and indirectly the

KNIFED
Coffee Knifed un Old Soldier.
An old soldier, released from coffee ^
at 72, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
"I stuck to coffee for years, although
it knifed me again and again.
"About eight years ago (as a result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver), 1 was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
"I would apparently recover uim
start about my usual work only to suffer
a relapse. After this had been repeated
several times during the year I
was again taken violently ill.
"The doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either 'quit
coffee or die.' advising me to take
Fostum in its place. I had always
thought coffee one of my dearest
friends, and especially when sick, and
I was very much taken back by the
doctor's decision for I hadn't suspected
the coffee I drank could possibly cause
uiy troubles.
"I thought it over for a few minutes
and finally told the doctor I would
make the change. Postum was pro- B
cureil for me the same day and. made I
according to directions: well, I liked it 1
and stuck to it and since then I have J
been a new man. The change in health |
began in a few days and surprised me. I
and now, although I am seventy-two
years of ago, I do iots of hard .work
and for the past month have ""been
teaming, driving sixteen miles a day.
besides loading and unloading the
wagon. That's what Fostuni in the
place of coffee has done for me. I now
like the Postum as well as I did coffee.
"I have known people who did not
care for Postum at first, but after having
learned to make it properly according
to directions, they have come to like
it as well as coffee. I never miss a
chance to praise it." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
