Washington, D. C.. November 16.—
That Champ Clark will be the next
speaker of the house is becoming more
apparept every day. Today Repr,
tentative Heart. , of Texas, whose name
t'as teen most frequently mentioned
as the man who would rally the sup
port of the oposltlon to the minority
leader for the speakership, announc
ed that he is not a candidate. Mr.
Henry Is for Champ Clark.
With the selection of a speaker prac
tically settled. It Is also apparent that
Jhe democrats will revise the rules of
the house and name a committee on
committees.
Many democratic congressmen whs
are opposed to this change as a matter
of principle say the party will lie
forced to take this step In response
to the independent votliig sentiment
that hurled the republicans from
power.
Olany democratic senators and con
gressmen arrived In Washington to
day, and the great thing they all have
in mind Is harmony of action, with the
idea of electing a democratic president
and congress In 1912. That which Is
regarded as the most vital point with
the democrats of tbe new congress is
harmony In strict accordance with Received from W. H. Clark.

K NOCKING competitors in my advertising has
always been against my policy—I aim to keep
within the bounds of sound business judgment.
But I believe it is the solemn duty of all honest men
who, by reason of experience, are possessed of cer
tain knowledge, to expose fraud in every quarter.
This must no! dc taken as a “knock” on honest, legitimate
competition (which I not only respect, but welcome with open
arms). It is a clear, forceful and honorable exposure of the
frauds now being perpetrated by dishonest and unreliable mail
order whiskey fakirs, whose bold advertisements, teeming with
untruthful and impossible claims, arc being scattered broadcast.
Many of these claims are so ridiculously extravagant, and so plainly fraudu
lent, that the people responsible for them are not only taking long chances with
the Pure Food Inspectors, but run the risk of having their mail field up by the
Post Office Authorities.
country MUST show on the label one of the
following descriptions :
pirjt—StraiCht Whiskey.
Second—A Blend of Straight Whiskie,.
Third-Blend (or Blended Whiskie,.)
Fourth—Compound (or Whiskey Compound.)
Fifth—Imitation Whiskey.
A r o dealer putting out a pure whisker
ever uses the third, fourth or fifth description,
because lie doesn’t have to. Only those sell
ing impure and adulterated whiskey put on
their labels ‘‘Blend,” ‘‘Compound” or “Imi
tation.”
Dealers in intro whiskey put on their
labels “Straight Whiskey” or “A Blend of
Straight Whiskies.”
The Government lias also fixed a stand
ard of strength, and all labels must tell the
“Proof Strength” cither by direct statement
or omission. For intancc. if a label reads 60,
65, 70 or 75 proof, it is "tow proof and not
Government standard proof. If the “proof”
docs not appear on the label it can be taken
as Government standard proof, the law pro
viding that where whiskey is of standard
proof the fact need not be stated on the labeL
Even a “Straight Whiskey” or a “Blend
of Straight Whiskies” may be “low proof,”
in which case the label must so stole.
Let me warn you against buying whiskey
in kegs. The law docs not require labels on
legs, and it is. therefore, possible for an un
reliable dealer to sell you a first-class article
and ship you any old stufT.

Now, I don’t believe in general charges
without specific indictments, and I am going to
point out to you some ot these fraudulent
claims.
® Some of them advertise one dozen full
bottles of whiskey at a price less than half
what good whiskey is worth. You are clev
erly deceived into believing that they mean
full quarts. But when you send in your
money and get the goods you find they ore
pint bottles, end not quart bottles.
’ Here's another. Advertisements ap
pear with a picture of twofull gallons of Pure
whiskey at a price which, if you would think
a minute, would convince you that you aro
being offered a vile concoction of cologno
spirits and water—and not whiskey. And be
sides this, the bottles only hold ono-half gal- •
Ion, and not ono full gallon, as they wouid
have you believe.
These fly-by-night fakirs ore offering their
stuff at anywhere from $1.25 to $2.00 a gallon
—and I want to show you it is impossible to
sell pure whiskey at such prices.
A fair whukay i> worth $0.75 a gallon.
Government lax il 1.10 "
Expreu chargea art. .60 •• *
The package cost* .29 "
, Total coit .32.70 for oat gallon.
The cost of handling—rent, lights, fuel,
labels, etc.— must be added. Just how
“pure” and “unadulterated” do you think
whiskey would be that you could buy for
$1.25 to $2.00 per gallon?
Some of the largo dealers, by reason of
a big volume of business, can sell apretty fair
grade of whiskey for $2.50—but $1.25 to $2.00
—neverI
Now I am going to tell you how to catch
these fellows on the quality of their goods.
There is just ONE WA Y by which you can
KNOW for an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY
whether or not you are getting an adulterated
whiskey—YOU MUST READ THE LABEL
ON THE BOTTLE.
The Notional Pure Food Law provides
that every bottle of whiskey told in this
