Ij DEFIANCE STARCH for stn finest lRnen& Our Washington Letter Story of Secretary Taft, Who Will Enter the Presidential Race Comptroller to Rigidly Enforce National Banking Laws--Other Notes of Interest. WASHINGTON.-The rumor of Secretary Taft's presidential ambitions is again broad. Al though no authorized statement making known his candidacy has ever been given out by the ponderous head of the war department, the story that he will seek the Republican nomination at the next convention is circulated with great regu laritv. The present rumor says the secretary is about to decline the offer of a seat on the su preme bench, made to him some time ago, and that he will then enter the field for the nomina tion. -Speaking of the big war the secretary recalls the following story: A certain colonel in the army, within two years of the retiring age, was ordered to the Philippines. He didn't want to go. He thought it ungracious on the part of the wal department to send him so far away when he was almost ready to drop out. His protests availed nothing, and as a last resort he had a few of his friends call on Secretary Taft and suggest to the secretary that it would be a very nice thing to allow the colonel, who had served the country well for so many years, to remain at home instead of shoving him off to the tropics. Secretary Taft listened patiently. His friends made all the arguments about long and faithful service. Then, as a clincher, one of them said: "And, Mr. Secretary, you have lived in the Phillpiples and you know about the climate there. To be frank with you, the colonel is not well. He is get ting very fat and we are afraid he can't live over there." Taft took a slow survey of his own 300 pounds. 1 hen he asked gravely: "Did Taft live?" BLEW UP HIS OWN HOUSE. The late Daniel V. Colclazier, whose death oc curred the other day, was a conspicuous figure during the confederate attacks on Washington during the civil war. Mr. Coiclazier and his fam- • ily then lived oh his farm not far from Fort Stevens. On the advance of the confederates he hastily brought his family to the city, and then immediately returned to the fort. By that time the guns of the fort were in action and the enemy was approaching. Mr. Colclazier, noticing a con federate ammunition wagon near his house and observing that one of the union guns was idle, went to the commanding officer and volunteered to work it, saying that he had had experience in that line as a militiaman. His offer was accepted and he trained the gun on his own house, which with a few shots was dgmclished. When President Lincoln came upon the scene Ao!clazier being the only man not uniformed at the guns, the attention of the president was engaged and he, learning the cir cumstances of Colclazier's presence, the president directed him to call on the secretary of war the following morning. This Mr. Colclazier did and he was sent to Geni. L. C. Baker, who appointed him on his force of secret service men and one of the bodyguard of the president. Mr. Colclazier was made a sergeant. On one occasion when Mr. Colclaizier was in this bodyguard, a week or ten days before the assassination of the president, he had an exciting time near the soldiers' home. Mr. Lincoln had just alighted in front of his sum mer residence and had scarcely taken two steps on the walk when a sharii report was heard. The mounted men with all haste rode in the direction whence came .the report, but failed to come up with the party of would-be as sassins, who rode down Seventh street into the city. The secret service men learned that four or five men were in the party and that at Boundary avenue they scattered in different directions. The bullet fired grazed one sleeve of the president's coat. BANK LAW TO BE RIGIDLY ENFORCED. Directors of national banks who, by constant- t ly ignoring the law, threaten the solvency of the banks with which they are connected, are to be made examples of by the treasury department. Hereafter the law regulating the making of loans by national banks is to be rigidly enforced and the first bank that willfully and flagrantly violates it will have its charter forfeited. This statement was made by a treasury official the other day while discussing the failure of a Massachusetts national bank. NATiONA.LSA The downfall of this bank was due to an ag gravated trouble of which a surprisingly large number of other banks are guilty-excessive i j \ loans to bank directors and officers. The admission was made at the treasury de ' - 0partment that two-thirds of the banks habitually 1 disregarded the limitations of the law in regard to the amounts of loans that may be made. What is more, the department is regularly informed of these violations of law, which are duly reported to the controller of the currency by bank examiners. It has long been the custom of the controller's office to condone these un- i lawful acts, and beyond calling the offending banks' attention to the excess loans and perhaps an admonition to avoid a repetition of the offense, noth ing is done. In other words, the treasury department winks at violations of the law which every now and then wreck a bank. The only punishment that can be meted out to directors who imperil the safety of banks by lending amounts of money in excess of the lawful allowances, is to secure the forfeiture of their charters. This is a step which controllers of recent years considered too drastic to be taken, with the result that not a single bank has been sub jected to anything more severe than a reprimand. A new policy has been decided upon by Controller of the Currency Ridge ly. Hereafter he will require banks to live strictly up to the law, and in order to convince the banking world that he is in earnest the controller will in flict the full penalty-forfeiture of charter--on the first bank whose directors willfully violate the law limiting the making of loans. A new law waa passed at the recent session of congress, giving to the banks greater latitude in lend ing money. Prior to this enactment individual loans were restricted to ten per cent. of the capital of the banks. The new law permits loans of ten per cent. of the capital and ten per cent. of the surplus, but in no case shall they exceed 30 per cent. of the capital. These provisions are to be rigidly en forced. STRANGE OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN. Someone with a talent for figures and an earnest interest in the sex has been raking over the last government census and extracting there from a bundle of statistics showing some of the strange occupations in which the women of our country are engaged. A brief glance at this interesting list is enough to reform any mere man who might have thought that woman is a "frail critter," only fit for fancy feather stitching and similar dainty pursuits, and so entitled to the gentle considera tion of the sterner sex. The sex has surely "arrived" and no longer stands in need of protection whoi it is stated that about one-third of the adult women in the United States are earning their own living, not counting those who are surely earning a living after the good old orthodox fashion, in cooking, sweeping, sewing and spanking, and performing the other duties incident to raising broods of children and maintaining homes for husbands. It is well known by this time that women have invaded the business world as stenographers, bookkeepers, confidential secretaries and what not; that they have become doctors, lawyers and ministers without nvmber, and that thousands of them have achieved proprietorship in many lucrative branches of business. Yet a glance at the official list of occupations in which thousands of others are gaining a livelihood is cilculated to scare the breath out of sturdy man hood. Who, for instance, w, uld imagine that there are feminine fishermen and oystermen to the number of 1,805 in the United States? That is the num ber according to the census schedule, and further than that, there are 1,947 stock raisers and drovers and 1,320 women are listed as "guides, trappers, hunters and scouts." These are some of the leading occupations, but there are others without number, and when a list of this sort contains 213 lumbermen and woodchop pers. 154 sailors. 43 hack drivers, 196 blacksmiths, 31 brakemen, 26 switch men, six ship carpenters, 167 masons, 126 plumbers and 879 policemen and watchmen, who will dare to say that woman's sphere is in any way re stricted? The census figures help to exp;ain, perhaps, why it is that a man out of a job has so hard a time trying to land another one that will give him a liv ing, RULES TO REGiULATE FOODS. A syllabus has been prepared by the commis sion appointed by the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of commerce and labor and the sec nI Q retary of agriculture to formulate rules and regu lations for the foods and drugs act, commonly suggestions interested parties may have to offer may be presented in a systematic and compact manner. These suggestions will be offered at a hearing to be held in New York between Septem ber 1i and September 28. The syllabus divides the questions of ruling into 12 groups. They deal with the original package as pre pared for export, the collection of samples, hear ings and publications, the use of colors, flavors and preservatives, misbranding of foods and drugs, mixtures, compounds, imitations and blends, proprietary foods, drug adulteration and misbranding confectionery, the establishment of the government guarantee and the inspection of imported goods. Circulars announcing the field to be covered are being sent out to all the food manufacturers interested and those who wish to appear either in per ,on or by proxy or who wish to file briefs, are directed to make th~eir request to Dr. Wiley, of the department of aegiculture. North Dakota Solves the Adulteration Problem. North Dakota seems to have found the key to the question, "How shall we protect the people from frauds in manufactured products?" A new law has recently gone into effect designed to make it impossible to deceive peo ple into buying inferior and adulter ated paint under the impression that they are getting real paint, viz.: pure white lead and linseed oil. The North Dakota lawmakers did not attempt to absolutely prohibit the inferior pigments, or mixtures of pigments. They adopted the slogan, "Let the label tell," and then left to the people to buy whichever they wished. Under this plan, if any one wishes to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground quartz and other cheap elements which are found in many paints and so-called "white leads," no one can object; for they do it with their eyes open. But if they prefer- genuine white 'lead and linseed oil, they can be sure of getting it, for none but the genuine article can bear a label which says "pure white lead." In all other States mixtures are of ten sold as pure white lead which contain little - sometimes no - real white lead. It would seem that were this same. principle applied to food, beverages and all other prepared articles, where deception is practiced upon the buy er, the question would be solved. It would leave us free to buy what we pleased, but would protect us from unwittingly buying what we did not want. DONKEYS TURN UP TOES. Don't Know Enough to Get in Out of the Rain. The war department has learned through experience that the American donkey has not sense enough to live in the Philippines. Some time ago, more in the nature of an experiment than for any other reason, the bureau of insular affairs sent a dozen American donkeys, com monly known as "burros," to Manila for use among the Span;sh-speaking e people. The natives did not take kindly to the new species, however, but rather looked at them from afar off. Seven died. Such was the news re e ceived at the bureau- recently. When 1- the torrential rains set in the little P animals were caught out in the open, and not knowing how to shelter them selves like the native beast of bur den, seven docile, dumb beasts turned f up their toes. "They ought to die," said a war department official who has a deep interest in everything pertaining to the Philippines; "they ought to die if they don't know enough to get in out of the rain." All Chemically Pure. The mistaken idea of a few years ago, about Alum in Baking Powders being injurious, no longer prevails, or scarcely exists. It is a well estab lished fact by chemical analysis that Cream of Tartar being less volatile than Alum, when exposed to heat, is not entirely vaporized as is the case with Alum, but leaves a residue in the bread, which is injurious. Alum, on the contrary, is entirely evaporated while performing its function during process of baking, leaving no atom of injurious residuous substance. The words "Chemically Pure" erroneously used to designate Cream of Tartar from Alum baking powder is a mis nomer. Baking Powder made of pure Alum is as chemically pure as made from pure cream of tartar. These words mean nothing more nor less than pure chemicals, and in no way can they imply that one baking pow der is Alum and another Cream of Tartar. Alum has been declared to be wholesome; an established fact. Ev ery large water system in the cities along the Missouri river use Alum in large quantities to purify the water before pumping it into their water mains for consumption. Cream of Tar tar baking powder is perhaps good enough for any one; Alum baking powder is better, and very much cheaper. The Central American Soldier. These barefooted soldiers are an tagonists not to be despised. Nearly worthless in attack, they are neverthe less tenacious in holding a position, a trait that comes from their Spanish descent probably. In the Cuban cam paign Gen. Garcia is said to ha ve said in reply to the remark of an American officer: "The Spaniards never at tack." This may have been true in the main, but -the defense of the trenches at Caney showed that the Spaniards would hold a position with as much courage and tenacity as any other troops. The Central and the South Americans have not generally showed much steadiness in war, but there have been occasions when their conduct has been conspicuous for gallantry, and all the virtues which go to make up the stalwart soldier.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company- California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
