The Dairy and Food Commissioner
agents, under the direction of Secretary
Edge, in all sections of the State are in
stituting most rigid Investigations to stop
the sale Of adulterated food products A
large number of suits were instituted

agents have on hand analyses of many i'm
pure articles of food, on which suits will,
before the close of the year, be entered.
The sale of oleomsrgarine in the State has
been greatly curtailed owing to the

are made for use in private families our

The Northampton grand jury in its re-
!. port to the court advocated good roads
and recommended that the agitation nee
esssry to secure good road legislation be
commenced ct once. That is q good idea.
If the grand juries all over the State
should take up this subject, and the wheel
men follow it up and the newspapers chase
after it in lively manner, there is no doubt
that the legislature would pass a law sat-
isfactory to all. The subject Of good
roads is always living one, and only its
constant agitation will win success. At
the last session OF the Legislature there
were some half dozen new road laws
presented, but every man thought bis was
the best, and he felt it his bCunden duty
to fight the others. The consequence is
that the roads are as bad as they ever
were. Pennsylvanis ought to have a road
law modelled after the one that governs
the construction of roads in New Jersey,
and it would not take long to have good
rosds.-Harrisburg Telegraph. Good
gracious, and it's but few months since
We advocated the adoption Of the New
Jersey Milk Law. They must have some
dandy laws in Jersey.
