dered by Dairy and Food Commission
er James Foust as the first result of
the extensive sampling of milk and
cream In eastern and central Pennsyl
vania counties. The arrests are for

liiK ordered In northwestern counties.
Arro. ts of representatives of a Cleve
land firm for sale of linseed oil con
t"lnlniT about fifty p?r cent, of min
eral oil wero also decided upon.

FIELD HOSPITAL AT CASAS GRANDES
Guardsmen Get Compensation If Hurt.
All of the National Guardsmen call
ed into StaU iA-.rvice by Governor
nrumbauph because of the disturb
ances in Allegheny county aro undor
Hie workmen's compensation Act, as
are the State Police, and should any
one bo killed or Injured while on such
duty tho compensation would be the
same as though hurt In a manufactur
ing establishment where tho militia
men happened to be employed.
Tho State's liability Is cared for In
an appropriation ot J15.000 made by
the last Legislature. The Guardsmen
come under the compensation law
automatically as soon as called Into
service.
Sue To Test Escheat Act.
The first steps to test the constlta
tionallty of the e-cheat Act of IMS
were taken when counsel for the Co
lumbia National Tank and Union Trust
Company, of Pittsburgh, brought an
action In canity to restrain the Auditor
i.encral from enforrlng the statute.
The Attorney General will defend the
act, and It Is probable that othor finan
cial concerns will intervene in the pro
ceedings. It was estimated when the Legisla
ture passed the law that it would bring
thousands of dollars of many unclaim
ed deposits Into the State Treasury.
Precious Language.
Language Is the amber in which a
thousand precious thoughts havo
been safely embedded and preserved.
It has arrested ton thousand light
nlng flashes of gonlus, which, unless
thus fixed and arrested, might have
been as bright, but would hare also
been as quickly passing and perish
ing as the lightning. Words convey
tho mental treasures of ono period to
tho generations that follow; and
ladon with this, their precious
freight, they sail safply across gutfs
of time In which empires have suf
fered shipwreck, and the language!
of common life have suuk Into obliv
ion. Trcncti.
