to unwisely; that its objects thus far have
been to crafty personal spite and possible
prejudice to the jeopardiziDg and detriment
of the interests of those who have depended
upon their Investments in these roads for a
stated income.
Why, Messrs. Editors, let me ask your
readers, why shall two lines of railroad which
if the distance between them were averaged,
would only be about four miles apart, be made
to run counter to each others interests in all
their transactions with their stockholders and
the public2 To explain my meaning more
clearly, why should fourteen men composing
two boards of directors, be granted the pow
er to wage personal warfare and jure and
mayhaps destroy the interests of those who
really own the 1928 ,000, 900 worth Of property
possessed by both companies? 1t seems to
me, and to others in the same position as l.,
that this complexion of affairs has been put
before the public long enough.
1t seems TO me, as a stockholder in the
Boston & Maine Railroad, that the rash ex-
penditure in building the extension from
South Berwick to Portland might have been
avoided if the directors of that road had
studied the interests of their constituents. It
seems to me, as stockholder in the Eastern
Railroad, that several of the recent ipjudi-
cious acts of the directors of that road might
| have been avoided if the directors had con-
suited the interests of their constituents. 1t
seems to me as a stockholder in both roads,
that our money has been wasted by both
boards of directors in futile efforts to do no.
body any good And it seems to me, as a
member of the body polite as we'll as rail-
road stakeholder, that the sooner affairs are
brought to a crisis and this eternal warfare is
ended, the better for all concerned. l frank
ly confess, however, that every means which
have been brought to bear upon the present
Boards of Management to accomplish this
end has proved futile and of no effect; and
therefore all hopes of relief under existing
circumstances are vain and delusive. Why
not, therefore, gentlemen,-and l say it in
all candor and fairness,-why not, therefore,
at the forthcoming meetings of both corpora
tons, elect new board of directors for both
roads. In saying this, toe, l am actuated by
no feeling of hostility to either member of the
existing boards as individuals, but in their
official capacity they have proved unfit to the
management of our interests. / trust this
matter will be considered in its true light,
fairly, frankly and with candor. If the large
stockholders will but unite and come to the
assistance of us who may be deemed the
smaller fry in the pan, we can succeed in the
overthrowng of the old boards and inaugu-
rating a new regime, pledged to the interests
of the stockholders of both roads as we'll al
the public, who are alike concerned in the
establishment Of peace.
With respect remain,

Golden Drip Sirup.

A recent number of the Herala OF
Health contains an article on "Gold en-
Drip Sirup," a commodity that is much
used in Detroit, and as the author
seems to have given the subject care
ful investigation, we give his concla-
sions for the benefit of those who love
this kind of sweetening. He says that
it has long been known to chemists
that variety of sugar could be made
from common starch, saw-dust, cotton
or woody fiber of any kind by treating
it with sulphuric acid The sugar thus
produced is called grape sugar, and two
and a half pounds are required to equal
one of cane sugar in sweetness.
For some years this kind of sugar
has been used in the manufac ture Of
candy and Of alcoholic liquors, and
number of manufactures have been es-
tablished in this country. He says
the greatest fraud seems to be in the
article known as the golden drip sir
up. This sirup is very superior in ap-
pearance, but often contains not the
slightest trace of cane sugar, being
made entirely from saw lust, paper,
rags, search, aud other similar trash,
treated with sulphuric acid. This sir
up can always be distinguished from
the genuine by its reaction with an in
fusion Of tannin. AS tea-leaves con-
tain large amount of tannin, a very
convenient test is to put small guam
tity of the sirup into little strong tea,
and if the slrup is not pure the liquid
will become black upon being stirred.
Tests of this kind have frequently
been made, and the mixture invariably
became as black as ink, revealing the
spurious character of sirup. Some Of
it was also made into molasses can dy,
which, upon being eaten, turned the
teeth and tongues Of the eaters very
black. To place the matter beyond
doubt, specimen was sent to DR.. Rose,
professor of the Michigan University
at Ann Arbor, who, after a careful
chemical analysis of the sirup, reported
that the sugar it contained was not
cane but grape sugar. He stated also,
that beside grape sugar the sirnp con-
tanned large proportion Of sulphuric
acid, to. ether with some iron and
little tannin, and must have made
either from old rags, boiled with sui
phuric acid in iron vessels, or from
sawdust treated in the same way.
