EnrfoH N i:vs:
The following statement
from I..;lry and Food Cmrnis
sioner Fojst will bo read with
interest: "(' msiderablo agita
tion has recently been aroused
owing to the reported violations
of the Oleomargarine Law in a
certain section of the State. As
Dairy and Food Commissioner, I
desire to say that whenever and
wherever violations of the Oleo
margarine or other Pure Food
Laws ure discovered by this Bu
reau, or reported to it, they are
prosecuted to tho full exteut of
the law. The Oleomargarine Law ,
like the Liquor and other similar
laws, is extremely difticut to en
force, and while violations occur
now, and always havo occurred,
it is the purpose ol this Bureau
to reduce viol itious to a minimum
and to punish to the maximum
every violator of the provisions of
the law. To this end I solicit in
frrmation that will enablo this
Bureau to locate any violations of
the Oleomargarine Law that may
occur in any part of the State.
This is particularly solicited
fiom dairymen, and especially
from the public press, which has
much to do with the formation of
public sentiment. While public
sentiment isstrongagainstwrong
doing generally, and properly so,
it is unlortonate that public sen
timent in certain parts of the
Stato is more or less opposed to
the enforcement of the Oleomar
uarine Law, and fcr this reason
in its tight for observance of the
law this Bureau invites the co
operation and support of every
newspaper, every organization
and every individual in the Com
monwealth. The following extracts from the
records of this ollice show the
activity of the Bureau from the
date of the approval of the Oleo
margarine Law, May 2Uth, 1901.
so far as those counties in the
section of the State are concerned
in which violations of the law
most frequently occur and where
public sentiment makes them
imst ditticult to suppress: In
the counties referred to viz: Al
legheny, Beaver, Fayette, Law
rence, Mercer, Washington and
Westmoreland during the years
1901 and 190i! Commissioners
Welles and Cope terminated 13.'!
cases, and turned into the State
Treasury ,273 59 in fines and
costs; during the years 191)11, 1901.
I90iiand 190(5 Commissioner War
ren terminated 302 cases, and
paid into the State Treasury
:.';!, OS". iiO in fines and costs; dur
ing the years 1907, 1908 and 1909
to June 15th Commissioner Foust
terminated 330 cases, and paid
into the State Treasury 33,429.
"2H. In addition there are 33 In
junction Cases pending in the
courts of Allegheny County, 13
Contempt Cases pending in the
Superior Court for violating the
orders of the Court, and GO First
and Secoud Offense Cases for
trial; with a large number of
cases before the Alderman and
many others in preparation."

They Are Under Protection of the United
States Government.
The Williamsport Sun says: A
case in the Federal court in this
city last week, in which a youth
was fined 23 and cost for dam
aging a rural route mail box, en
lists public interest and attention
in a matter that is too often for
gotten or disregarded that the
little mail boxes along tho coun
try free delivery routes are under
the protection of the United
States Government, a9 prescrib
ed bv the following statute:
"Section 1(503 Every person
who wilfully and maliciously in
jures, tears down or destroys any
letter box, pillar box or other
receptacle established by the
Postmaster General for the safe
deposit of matter for tho mail or
delivery, or who wilfully and ma
liciously assaults any letter car
rier when in uniform, while en
gaged on his route in the dis
charge of his duty as a letter
carriei and every person who
wilfully assists therein shall for
every such offence be ponishable
by a tine of uot less than 100 and
not more than 1,000 or by lm
prison ment for not less than one
or more than three years."
The Potter county youth who
was fined by Judge Archbald con
fessei to the vandalism charged
against him, though it was argue'1
in his favor that the destruction
had been accomplished while ho
was under the influence of wnis
key, which had been given him by
woodsmen.

Drawbaugh Has New Hard Metal.
Metal unknown, except to Dan
iel II Drawbaugh, the wizard of
Eoerly's Mills', and the inventor
of over two hundred United
States Government patents now
applied to the various industries
of the wcrld, was shown in two
small samples by this aged scien
tist in I Iarnsburg on Thursday
last.
Mr. Drawbaugh and his asso
cite in many experiments, Al
bert Kedmond, have perfected
the metal that will likely take the
placo of platinum wire in the in
candescent electric light globes
of the future.
They are now experimenting
upon a plau to form the metal in
to wire form, the metal as it is
today being so hard that it can
not be forged only under what is
known as a white hoat.
Mr. Drawbaugh will be eighty
two years old on the fourteenth
of this month. "Leave a one oil
and I would have had my birth
day on the Fourth of July," said
ho jovially while speaking of his
work.
Mr. Drawbaugh will remove
his world-famous shop from Et
erly's Mills next week to Camp
Hill, uear I Urrisburg, where he
will conduct his various expert
ments.
Speaking to a reporter he said,
'You should come over some day
before I move and see my clock.
I made this clock thirty-three
years ago and since that time il
has been on exhibition in various
parts cf the world. I never had
to wind it. But it is running just
the same and is keeping time just
the same."
Michael Bard, of Belfast; town

harvest well advanced in his town
