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. till grouter achieve- principle.

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. W. -Ill f..Mt CUTO Ml-, rWb.M.

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.

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.
