VACATION 18 NEARLY OVER.
Only a few days more remain of
the summer vacation before tho
schools open. Tho young people have
had a good season for recroation,
and havo enjoyed the whooling,
camping, boating and dancing until
perhaps thoy are somewhat tired of
those sports. Thoy can enter npon
the studies which are to bocome
their future moans of living with
ronowed vigor. Probably there
will be soma restlessness at the be

must be promptly overcome, for the

PURE FOODACT.
Tiio agents of the Stnto Dairy and
Food Commissioner last week
ciusod tho arrest of soveral parties
in this county for violations of the
act of 1895 whfbh is very stringent
in its provisions, defining what
shall be deemed " adulterated food"
and providing a penalty for viola
tions. It may seem severe to en
force this act m the case of parties
who without any intention to do
wrong buy their goods of responsible
Anns, and pay a f.iir rn-ioo for them
supposing that they received a gen
uine article. Thero apjKtars to bo
only one remedy for merchants and
others who doairo to live up to tho
letter of the law, and that is to deal
only with reputable houses, and
wiiero they are out of tho state, to
r (uiiv a suljleiont guarantee that
the f!'oJs arc as represented and if
nut so after proper tvts that the
seljing firm will be responsible for
any fine which may Imj imiiospd.
Our merchantH, in this section nt
least, buy largely in New York and
if those firms declino to enter into
any agreement to indemnify their
innocent customers they should be
let aloiio.
The la w is equally for tho protec
tion of t lie consumer who presumes
that he gets what ho pays for, and
if f he manufacturer or jobber with
a desire to enhance profits, adulter
ate or mixes his goods and palms
them elf ns pure, the penalty should
fall on the real offenders. No Im
putation should be cast on tho leg
islature which enacted tho law or
the commissioner who enforces it,
that n league existed or exists to
compel merchants to buy goods of
Pennsylvania dealers. New York
merchant are just ns well prepared
t j comply with every requirement
of tho net ns nro those of Philadel
phia or nny city in this Htiito, and if
they nro unwilling to fully protect
their customers, then it is right nnd
proper that our retail dealers should
look to their own interests in buying.
Tho wholesale dealer in New York
can nrrango to havo redress upon
the manufacturer hence no one will
necessarily bo injured. If a custo
mer wishes a cheap commodity he
can procure it, and tho law does not
prevent tho sale of such provided it
is properly labeled, but when you
buy coiTco for old government .Tavn
and pny n price proportionate you do
not. wnnt a compound with 75 per
cent, of ryo or pens, or other sub
stances. The net does not harm nny custo
mer by compelling him to pay high
er prioos, it Dimply ensures him the
worth of his money in nny grade of
goods ho desires to buy and use,
provided tho mixtures or compounds
uro not injurious to health.
Point! on local Newspaper.
Thcso are some of the points
vhich should bo made : The promin
ence and usefulness of tho local
newspaper in building up a town.
Its usefulness to the churches' in dis
seminating religious information
and drawing people to tho service.
The pride and satisfaction it takes
in tho progress and growth of the
town. Its value as n medium by
which a town's advantages mny be
advertised to the world. Its relia
bility ns a means by which the char
acter nnd intelligence of n town's
people may bo judged by outsiders.
It freedom from tho sensationul
and demoralizing features. Its in
iluonoo in local affairs, and finally
tho ambition of the editor, ns a rule,
to so conduct his paper that it will
onjoy the confidence and rosject of
tho community in which it is published.

Capitol C.'mn mission Moving Slowly.
The commission rhaiKcd by the leg
islature with the erection of a new cap
Itol Is llndkiK Its task a much mors
difficult one than was anticipated by
the memburs when they Invited- the
architects of the country to submit
designs two or three months aio. Gov
ernor Hustings returned from liello
fonte lust Wednesday nlsht and on
Thursday met the commissioners at the
executive department. Those present
were Plate Treasurer Haywood, Au
ditor General Mylln, Senator MeC'ar
rcll, the president pro tein. of the sen
ate, and Speaker Hoyer, of the house.
Trofessor "Warren P. Laird, of Phila
delphia, the architectural advisor of tlvj
commission, was also present and gave
all the assistance In his power during
the consideration of the plans. A rt w
days ao the three experts wont over
the 30 plans on file and made a selection
of elnht In the order of merit for rec
ommendation to the commission. At
the meeting on Thursday Professor
Laird read the report of the hoard of
experts. In which they gave their
reasons for selecting- those plans which
have been referred to the commission.
As each plan hears a number, Instead
of the name of the designer, no one
will know whose plans have been rec
ommended until Judtre filinonton opens
the numbered envelopes In his posses
sion, which contain the names of the
competing architects.
Having been unable to reach a con
clusion on Thursday the commission
met again the following day and spent
several hours inspecting the pluns und
considering In every detail the import
ant subject. It was finally decided to
postpone a decision on the matter until
next Thursday. A decision wus to have
been announced on Saturday last, but
the commissioners found It Impossible
to make up their minds within the time
limit, and In order to fully consider
all the points Involved they extended
the time. It having been reported that
the plans Involve more money than the
legislature had appropriated, Governor
Hastings wns asked whether this was
true. He said: "There were elKht plans
submitted to us by the experts, and of
seven of these the highest cost was
IG18.0O0. The eighth plan, that selected
as No. 1 by the experts, was estimated
to cost IGJIi.OeO, but the architect ex
plains that he can modify It so as to
bring the cost within the sum appro
priated I5S0.0OO." The governor says
the building will be of the colonial
renaissance style of architecture, and
the west front, facing the river, will
be exceedingly handsome. It Is prob
able that the contract will not be given
out before the middle of September.
Cheering Industrial Htntlntlcs.
An Important showing of the reviv
ing Industrial and business Interests of
the state Is contained In a statement
prepared by W. C. Farnsworth, Jhir
corporation clerk of the state depart
ment, who has entire charge of the
charter business of the department. It
Is through this department that all cor
porations receive their charters and are
authorized to Increase their capital
stock, and to extend their corporate
privileges, so that the business of the
department Increases or decreases as
the state at large Is prosperous or de
pressed. During March, April, May,
June and July of 1AU8 the manufactur
ing and mtscellan&ous charters repre
sented a capital of 117,812,000, the build
ing and loan associations $16,650,000 and
railroads and street railways 11,418,000.
Corporations increased their capital
stock and Indebtedness for the pur
pose of extensions and Improvements
to the amount of S3.751,0oo, making an
aggregate amount of capital represent
ed by the transactions tor the period of
l2,20,000. For the corresponding pe
riod of lKi7 tb.e( manufacturing and
miscellaneous corporations chartered
represented a capital of 20,SO6,OO0,
building and loan associations $19,3!0,
000, railroadB and street railways 13.
767,000 and Increases of capital stock
and Indebtedness ill9,472.0O0, making an
aggregate amount of capital repre
sented by the business for the first flvs
months of the present national admin
istration of I163.424.0O0, showing an in
crease In favor of the same period this
year as compared with lx''6 of SH).7Di,
0o0, or more than 126 per cent.
Much Interest Is manltested by the
state political leaders, who meet In
Hurrlsburg frequently for conference,
In th Democratic and Republican
state conventions, which are to be held
In Heaolug and Harrisburg respective
ly. It Is expected that these conven
tions will ia some measure lndict the
line of battle for next year. A few
weeks ago It was believed that Deacom
and McCauley, for state treasurer and
auditor general, respectively, would
have no serious opposition In the Re
publican Mats convention. Hut ths re
cent declaration of th business Men's
League in Philadelphia In favor of Mc
Cauley, and Inferer.tlally against Hea
com, mukes It almost certain that
there will be a lurse element ot the Re
publican paity against Heacom's nom
ination, mute Chairman I-Jlkln aud
other paity leaders, however, bellevg
that the convention will nominate both
Iteac-nn nnd McCauley without serious
friction, in the democratic convention
the fli:M wtl be over the silver plank

ousting William F. Hsriity from his
seat In the nutluua.1 committee as a
representative of the Pennsylvania De

cratic hosts ns their candidate for gov
ernor has been spoiled lty the ex-governor
himself announcing that he had
never h'-a-rd of such a proposition.
IetlNloii Itegfirdlug Ifrewers License
Deputy Attorney General IClkln has
siven an Important opinion on the new
law relating to the granting of licenses
to brewt i-h by the stale treasurer for
ll.VfKl. He says no license can ho Is
sued by the state treasurer for less
than Il.tH'O, hut where the production
of a brewery during the year preceding
would require a lurger amount to be
paid If application were made to the
court the state treneurer Is required to
collcYt ths same amount from appli
cants. During the Inst few days several
Alaskan gold mining companies which
have been chartered by other states
have registered at the state depart
ment as foreipn corporations for the
purpose of doing business In rennsyl
nla. Htate Treasurer Haywood began pay
ments under the general appropria
tion bill last week. Most of those who
hnve been anxiously waiting for a dis
tribution of tho state's cash have been
taken care of, and the regular appro
priations to schools and state Insti
tutions will now be paid out. The
state treasurer has been moving with
extreme caution, so as not to be the
subject of criticism by reason of un
due hasto.
Htatlstlcs received at the department
of putHIc instruction show that the In
crease of the annual appropriation for
the past ten years from 11,000.000, the
minimum fixed by the constitution, to
IR.eoo.OOO has done very little to In
crease the salaries of teachers or to
Increase the terms of the schools, but
It has been taken advantage of to re
duce local taxation for school pur
poses, until now there are S37 of the
2.471 districts which pay less school
tax than they receive out of the state
appropriation. Delnware, Allegheny,
Forest and McKoan are the only coun
ties In which there are no districts
showing such a record. State Treas
urer Haywood has begun the distribu
tion of the last half of the school ap
propriation made by the legislature of
1Ks5, snd he expects to pay out the en
tire r..f)00.000 due the school districts
by next February. The next distribu
tion to the schools will be made un
der the new law, which changes the
basis of distribution so as to give the
country districts a much larger share
of the appropriation than formerly.
W. A. Keale, of Pittsburg, has been
appointed ft clerk In the department of
Internal affairs to succeed the late Mr.
Johnston, of Hellefonte.who had charge
of the street railway reports for many
years.
Mine Chief Not Tot Nnnted.
Governor Hasting has not yet made
announcement of his selection for chief
of the new bureau of mines and min
ing In the department of Internal af
fairs. It Is understood, however, that
Robert Brownlee, of Kalston, Lycom
ing county, will be the man. There are
many applicants for the position of as
sistant superintendent of this bureau,
who will be appointed by the secretary
of Internal affairs. This was the only
department created by ihe Inst legis
lature, arid it Is expected in some
measure to bring order out of chaos In
the regulation of the mine Inspectors.
Ills old friends In Hellefonte have not
been forgotten by the governor. His
latest favor has been bestowed upon
Mis. Martha D. Keller, a widow, who
will suoceed Miss Mary J. O'Reily, a
deputy factory Inspector In Philadel
phia, who will retire Pept. 1 to become
a bride. Miss O'Reily has been a very
efllclent Inspector, and her reports to
the department have always been re
garded as reliable and Intelligent.
Insurance Commissioner Lambert has
given expression to some very decided
views respecting the attitude of some
of the insurance commissioners of the
fnr western states toward the big In
surance companies of the country. Col
onel Iambert was asked what he
thought of the proposition of these
western commissioners to examine the
eastern Insurance companies. He said
that the suggestion comes from some
of the Populist states where they have
diseased views of every sort of cor
poration and of the employment of cap
ital In any legitimate enterprise. The
examinations, he added, would be a
mere farce in most instances, since
they could not have any thoroughness,
and the result would add nothing to
the character of a company, no matter
how good Its standing. He says there
is no need of examination of eastern
companies by other than their own de
partment. James Campbell, the state factory In
spector, says the new law to regulate
the manufacture of flour and meal food
products, better known as the bake
shop law, which went Into effect July
1, Is being satisfactorily enforced.
The equestrian monument of the lato
Major Geseral John F. Hartranft will
be erected on the west front of the new
capitol, facing the river. The late leg
islature made an appropriation for the
unveiling ceremonies at this monu
ment, w)4chwlll be the occasion of a
great military demonstration In Har
risburg. It Is understood that the mon
ument will be placed In position next
year.
There Is considerable interest amonjj
stale officials the decision of the United
Btates circuit court at Pittsburg on the
constitutionality of the alien tax law.
The probabilities are that there will
be many other contests In the courts
before the status of some of the legis
lation of the Iwtt legislature Is fully de
termined. STACxroLB.

Farmers who look upon farming
as n precarious business should not
overlook tho fact that no business is
exempted from failures. Every,
thing depends on the business capa

H is said thnt hog cholera prevails
to a greater extent in Indiana than
ever before and that most of the
awino producing States have plonty
of it. Farmers should romomljer
olonn beds, neatness, not filth.
The following is taken from an
article of T. B. Terry in the Tracti-
-cal Farmer.
IIkaltiikul Homks. I have boon
growing some plants in small flower
pots. One night I put them on an
east porch to shield them from an
expected storm. It was 8 o'clock
tho noxt morning before I got around
to carry them out in tho full sun
shine again. I was interested to see
how nearly every plant had turned
over to the East, trying to get every
ray of sunlight it could. Tho porch
was not a dark one, nnd tho plants
were only thorn somo throe hours
after tho sun appeared, but nature
taught them to reach out for its
beneficial influence. Cannot many
of ns learn n lesson from this y Do
we not make a mistake whon we shut
out tho full light of day from our
homes, and when wo are so careful to
exclude tho sunlight ? Would ordin
ary plants grow and thrive in rooms
that human beings often stay in ?
I believe that no person, child or
grown win long onjoy a full degree
of health without a good deal of ex
posuro to tho sun nnd tho full light
of day. Let the sun shine into your
rooms, bedrooms nnd nil, morning
and night nt lenst, and let in the full
daylight tho rest of the time. Na
ture intended that we should nl wnys
bo well and healthy. We violate
her plain laws and are sick nnd ail
ing, and thon we swallow bottles of
medicine and boxes of pills. Pure
air, pure water, sunshine, plonty of
sloop and abundant exerciso, and
proper food are tho best medicines,
for thoy prevont disease nearly nl
ways. We never keep a bottle of
modicino nor a box of pills in our
home, and sickness is practically un
known, and always has boon. A
chance to have the above good
things is one of the blessed privileges
we farmers hnve. Koep in perfect
health and disease can hardly got
hold of you. This is no idle tale
Many friends have asked ino how I
could go through all I do at Institute
work and never got sick. Some
time I will tell you. But now is it
ns light as day where your wife and
daughters work, and does the sun
shine into your bedrooms for a time
every day it isn't obscured by
clouds ?
Attention has boon callod in tho
I'kbss to an act passed June 18,
1897 to prevent tho sproad of con
tagious diseases known as yellows,
block knot, peach rosette and ponr
blight, making it unla wful for any
person to keep trees- so infected,
providing three commissioners shall
bo appointed with pny in any town
ship where such contagious diseases
exist, defining their dutios and pre-
scribing tho manner of dealing with
the same, nnd making it a misde-
monnor if owners neglect after pro
per notice to destroy diseased trees
or fruit or sell the same. Those
owning fruit troos or selling fruit
should examine this act carefully.
An act was passed at tho same
time providing for the regulation of
the manufacture and sale of distilled
and fermented -vinegars, proscribing
their standard, and to prevent the
adulteration of tho same. The dairy
and food commissioner is chorged
with tho enforcement of its provis
ions, the fine is not less than fifty
dollars or imprisonment for viola
tions, and in addition the cost nnd
expense of the analysis. Another
act is one relating to the manufac
ture and sale of choeso prescribing
grades, and .punishment for viola
tions.
All tho above acts may be soon by
those interested at this office, and it
would be well to examine their
provisions, and not be en ugh t and
mado liable to fine or imprisonment.
Thoy may soom to somo unneces
sary and too stringent, but there is
no nse to defy them and be caught
in the toils. Whining and com
plaint may not avail to relieve of
tho penalties attached, and so long
as they remain on the statute books
they should bo respectexl.
