Dear Friend: My interest in the great state of Iowa prompts me to congratulate the masterly efforts on the part of yourself, Messrs. Woodson and Brown, et al., for the dramatic part each of you played in the anti-intermarriage crusade as a protection to our women. I trust the 15,000 colored people in the state I love scell well, and made sacrifices for the good of our people, will awaken new interest in you loyal women and women who tell laboriously for fair play, and sing the praises of encouragement that you might be inspired to deeds of further valor and conquest. Give Mr. U. G. Whitney of City晃民 City praise for his equity of justice. I know his qualities. You is every inch a man. I am doing you service in the heart of the black belt of the south, but I am none the less a man. I shall be glad to visit my old state in the future and tell the people all about it, first handed. You cannot imagine the real depths of our problem unless you come in personal contact with the great machinery that furnishes the motive power. I am hopeful. I will conquer. I will survive, because God is on the side of the oppressed wronged and despised. May the Great Spirit continue to furnish you leaders of dynamic force, to continue the fierce battle against isolation, segregation and degradation of our racial achievements to the bitter end. I am yours in consecrated service, J. Cornehus Reid, Pastor Trinity Baptist Church, Birmingham, Ala. You can say good bye to constipation with a clear conscience if you use Chamberin's Tablets.

Poletnous ingredients. ‘Washington.—Fourteen hundred and ‘Afy-nine violations of the federal ure food law were reported to the Gepartment of fostice for action to the Inst year. Of the total number of cases, $91 were criminal and 467 were Fecommendations for the seizure of Sdulterated or misbranded foods and Grugs. ‘There were 741 cases prove cuted by United States attorneys tn the year. Of the criminal cases prosecuted, 361 resulted in convie tons and twenty-three were decided adversely to the goverament. Fines ‘were imposed Jo the criminal cases amounting to more*than $14,000, and in addition costs were assessed, peo" ‘erally against the defendants. Of the ‘eases reported, 407 were pending in ‘the courts at the close of the year,and 376 were under consideration by the department of justice. . The firat fall sentences for viole tons of this act were impoted last Year, and there was a tendency on the Dart of the courts to impose larger fines for first oflenses. The maximum fine of $200 was imposed in twelve cases, and there, were also Imposed fone fine of $150, 36 of $100 each, two fines of $75 each and G1 fines of $50 each. In 1911 the maximum fine of 4200 was imposed in 16 cases, and there were imposed four fines of $150 each, one fine of $125, 26 fines of $100 ech, one fine of $76 and 33 fines of $50 cach. There was also imposed a fine of $400 in three cases prosecut: ed, where several adulterated and Blsbranded articles were contained in onc shipment. While there was & flight decrease in the number of maximum fines Imposed, there was a substantial increase in the number of cases in which fines of $100 and $50 ‘were imposed. In tho selzure cases decreos of con- Gemoation and forfelture were enter od against 294 shipmenta of adulter ted and misbranded goods. In ac- cordance with the usual practice, whenever selied articles of food were found to consist of Hithy, decomposed oF patrid subslances, or to contain Dolsonous or deleterious ingredients which might render them injurious to health, the department’ has insisted that orders be entered directing the Geatruction of the goods. One hun- red and three shipments of this class were destroyed. On the other hand, in the class of cases where the adulteration or mis branding was such that ft could be cured by relabeling, the courts have ‘esually released the selzed goods to claimants after relabeling, whenever claimants have {appeared and consent- to the entry of decrees of conden ation and forfeltare, pald the costs of the proceedings and filed bond, as provided for by Section 10 of the act. that the goods would not thereafter be sold or otherwise disposed of con- trary to law. One hundred and slzty- tro shipments of this class of cases were released in the year after re labeling and the filing of satisfactory bonds. There were seized and con- demned shipments of sardines, figs. herring, dried apples, dried cherries, ‘condensed milk, ple filing, cold cream ointment, soft drinks, candles, cor dials, chestnuts, oysters, tomato pulp. ‘frozen eggs, botiled water, apples, pea- ‘nuts, turpentine, sparkling burgundy, brandy, vanilla extract. dried black: Derries, dried eggs, lquors, butter, winegar, prunes, witch hazel and hay. In several instances cases. were Te ported for criminal prosecution based on shipments of seized goods found to consist of filthy, decomposed or putrid substances, or fo contain ndded potson- ous or deleterious ingredients whict right render them injurious to health. Four cases were discontinued becaung of lack of evidence to maintain them. Ta eighteen cases selsures were not made because the goods had been die posed of prior to the fillng of libels Tp one selzure case tho court refused to lasue process, and In another the proceedings were dismissed. SUGAR CONSUMPTION. Each person in the United States fast year bas used $1 pounds of sugar, the per capita consumption of this article having increased from 80 pounds in 1910, 69 pounds in 1900 and 395 pounds in 1889, says statistics gathered by the bureau of foreign and Gomestic commerce. The total sugar ‘consumption this year will exceed 8, (000,000,000 pounds, whereas in 1900 ‘only §4,600,000,000 pounds were used. ‘The cost of sugar to the consumer this year will approximate $400,000,000, ‘which ts Inore than $1,000,000 a day. One-fourth of this sugar came from the United States proper, another fourth from Hawai! and Porto Rico, ‘and the remainder from foreign coun- tries, chiefly Cuba. The large Increase this year in the production of beet sugar in this country fs noted, 1,400, 000,000 pounds. having been raised, ‘against 1,000,000,000 pounds in 1910 ‘and Tess than half that amount in 190, Sharper Than He Thought, ‘Nell—He actually told me I. was ull Belle—I suppose you convinced him to the contrary.

RETAIN THE LARIAT. ‘The lariat has been retained by the cavalry equipment board as a: part of the new equipment of mounted troops. As cavalry marches for a considerable period of years repeatedly have tra- versed regions affording facilities for rail transportation of forage, and as plenty of forage is laid down at the picket lines in manuver camps. 8 great many officers accept these con- ditions as those that probably always will prevail. As a natural result many have given little attention to the prob- Tem of ubsisting horses in the feld under cfroumstances that always have provalled in war and probably always ‘will—lack of transportation. ‘There are those that have main. tained that the growth of rail and water transportation in every direc. tlon during recent years has created the probability that our cavalry in fu. ture wars can look confidently to the ample supply of forage. and therefore a resort to grazing will be unneces. sary.
