New Legislation for Pharmacists,
The public will be greatly interested
in proposed drug legislation which is
being discuseed at the meeting of the
Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Associa
tion, June 20, 21, 22, st Reading, with
hea: quarters in the Berkshire hotel.
The attendance runs well into the
hundrede, composed of representative
pharmacists from all sections of the
state, and the discassion of legislative
matters is occupying several sessione,
An Itinperant Vendors Bill will be
up for consideration and as a similar
bill only failed to pass by a few votes
at the ast session of the legislature it
is very likely that a strong bill will be
favored that will control the manufac-
ture and sale of paient medicines in
this stale, as many harmful nostrums
are now made by ignorant and un-
scrupulous persons and peddled from
door to door in rural distriote,
&. It is not commonly koown to the
public that Pennsylvania drug laws
are paradoxical, compelling druggists
with a fixed place of business and
great financial responsibility to be
graduates of pharmacy and to have
had four years of training before they
are eligible to legally conduct a drug
business, while any petson, even one
mentally deficient, or a moral perfect
can compound patent medicines con-
taining arsenic, strychnine, corrosive
sublimate, or other dangerous druge,
aud offer the poisonous mixture for
sale and the only redress the public
would have would be a civil suit for
damsges after taking.
Another bill on the same lines for
the protection of the public Is the
Formulas Disclosure Bill, requiring
manufacture: 8 of all secret remedies,
to either publish the formula upon
the label, or file a copy of ithe same
with a commission provided for that
purpose, and if the law recently en
acted In New York City is not de-
clared unconstitutional, it is probable
that the Pennsylvania legislature will
be asked to pass a law giving the pub-
lie this additional protection,
As the Pennsylvania pharmacy law
is now framed it only applies to the
registration of pharmacists who are
engsged in the retall drug business,
and it is believed to be in the interest
all medicines be carried on under the
supervision of skilled registered phar-
maclate.
Other leglelation to be discussed will
be Coupon or Trading Stamp Bille,
and the Btevens-Ashurst Price Main.
tenance Bill now under consideration
in our National Legisiature, both of

SPRING MILLS WINS OVER
LINDES HALL IN BALL GAME,
Grange Park Scene of Good and Bad Hase-
ball Hoss Loses Because of Lack of
Support Spring Millis Fields Faultiessly,
Although outhit eight to one, the
Spring Mills baseball team administer-
ed a crushing defeat to the Linden
Hall team Baturdsy afternoon on
Grapge Park, Centre Hall, without
violating the neutrality of the local
club, The egcore—10 to 4—was in favor
of Spring Mille because of the figures
13" which stand to the discredit of
Linden Hall in the error column,
Spring Mills wee a veritable Verdun
on the defense while Linden Hall ap-
peared se volnerable a8 a cheese fort
before the attack of a German howitz-
er. The strong pitching of Ross went
for naught, Allowing BSpiing Mills
but one clean hit, Ross was entitled to
a better fate. His team mates proved
his undoing, however, for on thirteen
chances to retire runners they failed,
Poor fielding and bad throwing to
bases were a combination which work-
ed successfully for Bpring Mills and to
the detriment of Linden Hall,
Corman pitched a good game for the
Spring Mills and started the game by
fanning the first three batters to face
bim. He kept up a strong pace until
the seventh inning when his oppo-
nents got to him for five healthy swats
which earned three runs for Linden
Hall. It was the best piece of of-
fensive work during the entire game
and would have meant victory for Lin-
den Hall had their defense been of the
same order as that sccorded Corman.
Bpiing Mills has a smooth working
organization and their flelding is
superior to that of any team in the
county, beyond a doubt, Gramley, at
short, possesses a slroog arm and his
long and accurate throwe on which he
retired several runners on what sp-
peared as safe hits, are seldom seen on
country ball teame, Conde, at third
base, is also an able performer.
Linden Hall lost the game in the
first inning when they allowed their
opponen's to score five rups without
the eemblance of a hit, Four errors
and (wo bases on balls was the mixture
tliat did the trick.

WILL GIVE SHEEP TO FaRMEnS,
State Department of Agriculture Takes
Steps to Stimulate Fheep KHaising. Ten
Ewes to a Farmer,
Five hundred or more Pennsylvania
farmers are to be started in the sheep
ralsing business through a movement
which has been brought sbout by
bankers and mauufacturers of the state
acting in copjunction with Hecretary
of Agriculture Patton.
The alm of the business men snd
the Pennsylvania department of ag-
riculture is to increase the number of
sheep, to provide for the production of
more wool and to help the meat sito-
ation of the state, The movement
coutemplates the purchase of ewes out-
side the state and the placing of them
in the hands of farmers who are com-
petent and willing to take them under
the plans formulated by Secretary Pat-
ton,
It is proposed to place with each
farmer ten thrifty ewes and to give
him, for the proper feeding, watering
and care, all the wool and one-half the
lambs produced by the sheep.
The idea is to have a number of
farmers in a comumunily go into the
scheme so that a carioad of sheep can
be shipped to a central point and the
community can be supplied from that
station. This will serve to keep the
cos's as ay The ewes
bought outside the state will be care-
fully examined before being placed on
the farms by veterinarians of the Biate
Livestock Banitary board and will be
healthy apd free from all diseases,
The movement is expected to stimu-
late the sheep industry in Pennayl-
vania and to demonstrate to the farm-
ers that the sheep business profit-
able, Not sires the Civil war has the
price of wool or of mutton and lamb
been sa high ne at the presont time,
A drove of sheep will be placed on
the state farm in Delaware county for
experimental purposes on disesses to
which they are subject and as to the
best methods of raising. The informes-
tion obtained by the siste experis will
bea given from time the
people of the state interested the
sheep industry.

Wedd:d Fifty Years,
Wedded fifty years and never a
quarrel between the happy pair—thie
is the sweetest boast of Bergeant J.
Toner Lucse, of Moshannop, this
county, and his good wife, and every-
body who has lived long in that-
vicinity knows it’s true, even if the
kindly features of the venerable and
popular pair were the only testimony.
Hergeant Lucas, who was born Sep-
tember 9, 1542, bravely served three
years in the war for the preservation
of the union, wae a non-commissioned
officer of his company in the Forty-
fifth Pennaylvania Volunteers; was
honorably discharged in 1864, and on
June 12, 1866, was married to Anna P.
Isenberg, of Huuotingdon county,
about a year his junior,
They have lived the happlest sort of
a half-century in Centre county, and
are the parents of eleven children,
pine of whom are still living and a
great comfort to them in life's even-
tide,
A small house belonging to Robert
Hendershot near Btate College, wae

LOOAL FORE TER RE-
PORTH ON PLANTING,
Figures Prove that the Ninety-two Acres
Reforested Will Pay the State Hand-
somely in Thnae,
Forester L.. G. Barnes, in charge of
the Nittany tate Forest, who in the
past month completed his annus)
work of reforesting the waste lands on
the Nittany Mountain, gives the fol-
lowing statistics of his planting :
A total of 169,600 trees were planted,
comprising the following species : 125,
000 white pine, 20,000 Beoteh pine, 20,-
000 pitch pine, 4,600 larch. The total
cost of the work was $772.41 which in-
cludes the cost of the trees, amounting
to $261.60. The total amount of land
that was reforested was 92.9 acres at
an average cost of $8.80 per acre. The
land at the time of purchase by the
Forestry Department was valued at
$2.60 per acre, that belng the price
which the State paid. Bince the com-
pletion of the planting the land now
has a value of $10.80 per acre.
Will this planting pay ? The an-
awer, without a question of doubt, is
yes, Fourteen years ago when the
Nittany State Forest was bought, the
land that has now been planted was
covered with a worthless growth of
ground oak, sweet fern and bracken,
At the time of planting it was covered
with the same growth, If, in the fu-
ture, forest fires do not destroy the
young trees that have been planted,
there will be on theese 93 acres, 14
years hence, a growth of valuable
young trees 10 to 15 feet high. These
trees sre capable of making a growth
of 400 to 600 board feet per acre per
year, and at the end of 75 years when
they will be ready to make saw loge
they should yield a final cut of not less
than 50,000 board feet per ncre. If the
price of lumber contiLues to rise in
future as it bas in the past, and there
is every resson to believe that it will,
the stumpege price will rise according-
y and should not be less than $10.00
per thousand, At this stumpage the
fins] value of the timber at the end of
756 years will be $5600 per acre.
Of course there will be expenses con-
nected with the growing of this tim-
ber, such ne tsxes, protection, super-
vision, ete,, but these expenses will be
materially reduced by the returns
the thinnings which will be
made sfler the twentieth year and
which will continue until the final cut
#0 that the initial investment of $10.80
per acre will yield an annual income
of 4 to 5 per cent.
