Washington, Juno 30. After today,
all brands of nope paint sold within
the confines of the Ulted States must
bo correctly labeled In accordanre
with rules and specifications promul
gated by the Internal revenue depart
ment. These regulations, which be
come effective tomorrow, have been
harmonized with the provisions of thi
pure food and drug act, with the re
sult that distiller, and blenders all
over the country are up In arms and
declare that they will appeal to tho
courts tor relief from tl.e obnoxious
ruling.
So far as the trade Is concerned tho
most Important feature of the ruling
In this connection Is the fact that
hereafter labels must appear "with
out the addition of any adjective or
descriptive word." This eliminates
"rye" and "bourbon," which hereto
fore have been used to describe the
kind of whlHkey.
"Whiskey" Will Xt Do.
Heretofore all whiskey, whether
blended, artificially colored or aged or
mixed with other spirits has been
marked "whiskey" on the barrels as
they hve been filled and shipped from
the distilleries and places of rectifica
tion. Hereafter what Is known as
"straight whiskey," that Is, an article
that has been aged by time and not
mixed with other spirits, will be mark
ed "whiskey," and only that, niendc
or compounded whiskey will e mark
ed on the barrel In letters at least one
Inch long burned Into the barrel,
"blended whiskey."
. A mixture of whiskey with alcohol,
provided there Is enough potable
spirts to make a real compound, and
not the semblance of such spirits, with
the dlstllant with which It Is mixed.
Alcohol, commercial alcohol or high
wines which have been manipulated by
the aid of artificial flavors, colors or
extracts or otherwise, so as to resem
ble some particular kind of potable
spirits will be marked with the name
of such spirit.' preceded with the word
"Imitation."
Mean n Revolution.
What a revolution this will make In
the business of rectifying or blending
whiskey may be Imagined when It Is
recalled that most of the whiskey now
sold Is compounded, blended or Imi
tated within the means of the pure
food act, and that after today none
of theso products can leave the place
of manufacture without carrying a
mark which will Indicate to the aver
age mind that the spirits are some In
ferior article.
So far as the consumer Is concerned
the most Important section of the rule
demands the use of the word "Imi
tation" to describe the more or less
poisonous fluids that are passed off as
whiskey by the unscrupulous. Such
"fire waiter" has a base of alcohol,"
still laden with poisons of distillation,
or even "high wines," the first pro
ducts of distillation and unfit for hu
man consumption. Any or all of theso
In combination is manipulated by the
aid of artificial flavors, colors, extracts
or otherwise to have the abearance,
at least, of a recognized beverage.
Kvery possible effort was made In the
drafting of the pure food and drug
act to suppress these concoctions, and
the effort had the hearty Indorsement
of the trade at large. "
reared Ruling Will Fail.
As the law Itself has utterly failed
to prevent unscrupulous concerns from
putting these poisons om the market,
It Is feared that a further ruling by
the Internal revenue department will
likewise1 fall. There Is no explicit lan
guage In the law to regulate the quan
tities of Ingredients which shall dis
tinguish a "compound." The most
poisonous "mingling" of "high wines,"
red pepper, burnt sugar and any other
trash, which. In the spirit of the rul
ing should be designated an "Imita
tion," may be converted Into a "com
pound" by adding a quart or a pint
even of actual whiskey. The dishon
est maker may stamp It "whiskey,
compounded with graJ distillate" and
put tho stuff on the market In defi
ance of the spirit of the' law and to
the disgust of dccQiit distillers and
blenders. .
. Few laws have ever been more open
ly defied than the pure food and drug
act In Its attempt to regulate the
manufacture of "spirits," of whatever
kind, whiskey being only one of them.
Makers of ."straight" or unblended
whiskies have been for generations at
war with blenders, and when the agri
cultural department began Its cru
sade this ancient conflict was carried
to Washington. In the end the vic
tory lay with the "straight" whiskey
Interests, and was marked by the In
troduction of the words "like sub
stances" as descriptive of "blends."

"My great-uncle, who was blind,"
Kid a Frenchman, "once burled $4,000
In gold louts under a pear tree In bli
gnrdon. Ills neighbor saw Lira do it
and In the dead of night name and stole
the money, replacing the earth care
fully. "Some days later my uncle brought
fifty more louls down to the pear tree
for burial. lie soon discovered bis
loss, and, silently weeping, be, too, re
placed the earth.
"He knew whom to suspect, and that
nlgbt be called on bis neighbor. lie
seemed thoughtful and distrait, and tbe
neighbor asked him what oppressed his
mind.
"'Well, I'U tell you,' said my great
uncle frankly, i have 1,000 loul bid
away In a safe place, and today a ten
ant paid off a mortgage, and I have
another 1,000 louls In cash on my
hands, I don't know whether to seek
out another hiding place for this mon
ey or put it where the other is. What
do you advise 7
"'Why,', said the neighbor eagerly,
'if your first biding place Is safe and
you declare It to be so I should cer
tainly put this money there too.'
"My great-oucle said firmly that that
was what be would do. It was the
wisest course. Then be took bis leave.
"And when next day be went to the
pear tree again there, sure enough, was
bis lost 1.000 louls, all put back again."

Ingenoll on Clovar.
In declining an invitation to a Clover
club dinner once Colonel Robert Inger
soli wrote:
"A wonderful thing is 'clover.' It
means honey and cream that Is to say,
industry and contentment that is to
say, the bappy bees in perfumed fields
and at tbe cottage gate 'Old Boss,' the
bountiful, serenely chewing satisfac
tion's cud In that blessed twilight
pause that, like a benediction, falls be
tween all toll and sleep. This clover
makes me dream of happy hours, of
childhood's rosy cheeks, of dimpled
babes, of wholesome, loving wives, of
honest men, of springs and brooks and
violets and all there Is of stainless Joy
In peaceful human life.
"A wonderful word Is clover! Drop
the 'c,' and you have the happiest of
mankind. Take away the 'c' and 'r,'
and you have left tbe only thing that
makes a heaven of this dull and bar
ren earth. Cut off tbe V alone, and
there remains a very deceitful bnd that
sweetens the breath and keeps peace In
countless homes whose masters fre
quent clubs. After all. Bottom was
right, 'Good bay, sweet hay, bath no
fellow.' "
A Curious Plant.
"A curious plant," said an eminent
botanist, "Is the wild tamarind or Juba
plant of the riverside and waste places
of tropical America, and very strange
are its effects upon tbe nonrumlnant
animals that feed upon Its young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. It
causes horses to lose the balr from
tbelr manes and tails, has a similar ef
fect upon mules and donkeys and re
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover s when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair Is of different color and tex
ture from the old, so that tbe animal is
never quite tbe same as It was. One
animal of which I personally knew
after feeding on tbe plant lost Its boofs
and bad to be kept In slings' until
they grew and hardened again. Rum!;
nant animals are not thus affected, and
the growth of the plant Is actually en
couraged in the Bahamas as a fodder
plant for cattle, sheep and goats. Tbe
difference Is probably due to changes
effected upon it in the chewing of the
cud." -
A Trying Position.
An East Indian paper prints tbe fol
lowing, written by a native subordi
nate in bis diary while In a very try
ing position:
"Up a tree where I adhere with much
pain and discomposure while big tiger
roaring In a very awful manner on the
fire line. This Is very inconsiderate
tiger and causes me great griefs, as I
have before reported to your honor.
This 19 two times he spoiled my work,
coming and shouting like thunder and
putting' me up a tree and making me
behave like an Insect It Is a very awk
ward fate to me, and the tiger Is most
inconsiderate."
The Widow's Dowar.
It Is certain that "dower," thb estato
for life which the widow acquires at
her husband's death, was not known
among tbe early Baxons. In the laws
of King Edaiund the widow Is directed
to be supported wholly out of the per
sonal estate. Dower Is generally as
cribed to the Normans, but It was first
introduced Into tbe feudal system by
Emperor Frederick II., who was con
temporary with tbe English Henry III.,
about 1250.

CANADIAN "FOURTH OF JULY."
Forty-Fin Anniversary of Nation Is
Celebrated.
Toronto, Ont., July 1. Canada cel
ebrated Its 41st birthday. today with
all the enthusiasm which has charac
terized past years, but, so far as re
ports received from over the dominion
have Indicated, with a much smaller
proportion of accidents and fatalities
usually accompanies the observance of
the Fourth of July In the neighboring
republic.
Dominion Day commemorates the
confederation of the former provinces
of British North America Into what
has since been known as the Dominlan
of Canada. It was on the first day of
July, 1867, that Queen Victoria gave
her royal assent to the formation of
this gigantic national enterprise.
The customary observances marked
the day In this city. Thousands of
Toronto citizens apvnt the day out of
town, but their defection was made
up by visitors from other places. Cele
brations were held In Montreal, Que
bec, Ottawa, Niagara Falls and other
cities of the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec. Winnipeg, Vancouver and
other cities In western Canada also
report enthusiastic observations of the
day.
HONK! HONK I IX) HAS AUTO.
Oklahoma Indian Buys Red Devil
Wagon.
Bartlesvllle, Okla., July 1. No
longer Is the hearse,, with Its waving
black plumes, the favorite vehicle of
the aborigines In these parts. Sam
Bobb, a mixed-blood Cherokee, who
has become wealthy through his own
ership of oil lands, has set the fash
Ion by buying a six-cylinder touring
car, and now every redskin In this
section who has the price is consid
ering the Indulgence of a similar fan
cy. For many years the ownership of a
hearse, In which to take the squaws
and papooses out driving, has been
considered the acme of plutocratic
display by the Indians of the "Four
Hundred." Many such somber ve
hicles have been sold to the Indians
to be used as carriages. Now the
style Is changing, and nothing less
than a red devil wagon will admit to
the Inner circles of redskin society.
Automobile manufacturers will do
well to sit up and take notice.

WHILE HALF MILE HIGH
Daring Feat of Young Aeronaut Nct
it Before Attempted Nerve Never
Excelled.
Seattle, Wash, June 30. One of the
most thrilling experiencs known to
the latter-day aeronauts occurred Sat
urday afternoon to L. O. Mecklem, a
boy inventor. Mecklem made a suc
cessful ascent from Luna park. ' He
rose 1000 feet In the air, reversed his
airship and at all times had com
plete control, until the Inevitable
happened.
While about 1000 feet In the air
the machinery stopped. Crawling
over his framework. Mecklem started
to adjust several wires. All this time
the airship kept going up. At a dis
tance estimated at 4000 feet, there
was a sharp explosion and a rent five
feet long was mads In the bottom of
the bag. The heavy framework
started to draw the mammoth gas bag
slowly down. Mecklem realized that
he must act quickly or-he would be
drowned In the bay, toward which
the airship was dropping.
Mecklem climbed to the torn part
of the bag and while he held the
parts together with his teeth he work
ed with his hands and had nearly
mended the rent when the airship
struck the water. Sufficient gas re
mained in the bag to keep the air
ship afloat and he only got his feet
wet. Launches ran out and towed
the daring Inventor and his bag to
the shore. Mecklem said he remem
bered seeing Tacoma, 40 miles dis
tant, and Lake Samammlsh, nearly
35 miles to the east.
He Is not discouraged and promises
to make another ascension as soon as
the gasbag Is repaired.
Mecklem Is a Seattle high school
student. The ascent was witnessed by
thousands of people.
The gas bag Is 60 feet long by 18
feet In diameter and holds 7500 cublo
feet of gas. Tbe framework of the
ship proper Is 38 feet long. The con
trivance is worked by an eighteen
horse power Curtis motor.
