MAY COMMENCE A SUIT,
An Evaporated Cream Company
That Complains of the Board
of Health.
The Highland People Contend That
Their Product Has Not Rece Yed
Justice in Analysis

Some time ago, as result of investiga-
ton among some of the condensed milk,
evaporated cream and kindred industries
of the City, various statistics purporting
TO be the result of correct analysis of
their products were published in certain
newspapers.
Among the statistics 80 published were
figures giving the alleged constituents of
Highland Evaporated Cream. The con-
Germ owning this particular article of
commerce has taken umbrage and en-
phatically denies the correctn of these
figures. Moreover, they assert that the
Board of Health does not claim that the
analysis was complete at the time the
figures were published, and they threaten
suit against their traducers.
AS matter of fact it seems that the
special point upon which the manufac-
turers OF Highland Evaporated Cream
dwell is the abundance of "butter fat''
contained in their product. According to
the published statement their cream only
con attained 575 per cent of butter fat,
whereas they contend that the completed
analysis shows percentage of of the
same desirable constituent. Another anal
ysis gave at least 888 per cent.
In view of the Importance of these con-
densed milks as foods these facts would
appear to lend special dignity to the con-
troversy and little the Highland people
to at least the justice of public statement.

A Bad Case of CrueItr.

oficers Holbrook and McCurrie OF the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
arrested Andrew Weber, a butcher 10 the Bay
City market yesterday for sending out sick
horse to fulfill orders. The animal had a sore
back and neck and was so i'll that it was froth-
ing at the mouth. 1t was found necessary to
send for an ambulance and take the horse to
Weber's stables. The society has been watch
ing this case for some time and finally sue
ceeded in its quest. So indignant was the
made that it was feared violence would be
used on the prisoner, but he was hurried
away TO the City Prison. He was afterward
bailed out.

Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-

Coughs, ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even II they are

and a year later received the tonsure.
The same year he returned TO Quebec
and resumed his theological studies, and
on the 18th of September, 1912, was or
dained priest. He was soon after
ward appointed to the chair of moral
philosophy in the seminary of Quebec,
which position he filed for IL years
with great ability. During this period
he opposed the ultramontane tenden-
cies of the church, displaying a degree
of liberality that excited much COM
ment in clerical circles. In 1s47, when
an unknown and fatal fever devastated
Crosse island, he volunteered to assist
the local chaplain In ministering to
the sick and dying, and labored as
siduously until he was stricken with
the fevey and for weeks his life hung
by thread. In 1854 he was sent to
Rome by the second provincial coun-
ell of Quebec to present its degrees to
Pope Plus TX. for ratification. He re-
manned there for two years, making a
study of common law. He received the
degree of doctor of canon law from
the Roman seminary in 1856. On his
return to Quebec he became director
of the Petit seminaire, and held the
posi- till 1859, when he was appointed
director of the Grande seaninaire and a
member of the council of public in
struction for lower Canada. In 1860
he became supervisor of the seminary
and rector of Laval university, and in
1862 accompanied Archbishop Baillar-
geon on a visit to Rome. On his return
he received the appointment of vicar
general of the diocese of Quebec. In
1865 business of the university again
called him to Rome, and in the follow
ing year he was appointed supervisor OF
the Grande seminaire, his term of office
having expired. He was in attendance
at the ecumenical council at Rome in
1870, and on the death of the archbishop
of Quebec in the same year he was APP
pointed administrator of the archdio-
cese jointly with Vicar General Cazeau.
In February, 1871, he was appointed
archbishop of Quebec and consecrated
on the 10Th of March by Archbishop
Lynch, of Toronto. He visited Rome a
number of times on business connected
with the affairs of the archdiocese. In
1886 he was created the first Canadian
cardinal, the beretta being conferred
upon him with grand pomp at Quebec
on the 21st of July. Immediately after
his elevation he issued circular letter
forbidding the use of spirituous or
fermented LIQUORS and bazars and en-
tertainments given by church societies,
and also prohibiting the sale of such
beverages on Sunday. This letter
wrought a great reform in the church
membership throughout Canada, and
other reformatory regulations intro
duced by him have resulted in elevating
the character of the church generally, |
He was exceedingly active in promot-
ing the cause of popular education,
and establish ing scores of charitable
and benevolent institutions in all por- |
tions of the domain.

THE OXFORD COUNTY FAIR.
Next week the annual cattle show and
fair Of Oxford County will be held on
the society's grounds between South
Paris and Norway. The New England
fair and state fair have held their exhi-
bitions, aud the next great show OF the
state IL the Oxford County fair.
The trustees are making unusual efforts
to make the coming fair one OF the best
ever held In the county. They expect
the people to work with them by bring
ing out their best horses and colts, TO be
placed on exhibition or seen on the track.
The farmers are earnestly requested to
bring out their big oxen and steers,
dairy cows and helfers, that we may
have cattle show worthy Of the name.
The best products OF the farm are want
ed to make up the show. The ladies Can
always be relied upon to I'LL the hall with
useful and beautiful things.
The management have taken great
pains to have more attractions than ususl
this year. They have made contract
with a distinguished professor who will be
here two days with his balloon and make
an ascension many hundred feet from the
grounds, leap from the clouds, and come
down with parachute, sight never
before witnessed In Oxford County.
A good band Of music are engaged for
the fair. The merry-go-round, with
many other attractions, will be there to
please sll who like to see something dif.
ferent from what they see on the farm.
The society Is fortunate In owning the
most conveniently located grounds OF
any In the state. The exhibition hall,
the track, the grand stand, and all the
surroundings are In first-class condition
in every respect. The officers will do all
they can to make 1t first-clsss show.
Ii only remains for the people to turn
out and assist them In their efforts. Let
the farmers come and bring their wives
and boys and girls, and renew old ac-
Quaintauces and form new ones. Let US
see the bigges. crowd and the greatest
show Of all the year.

Put of until to- morrow what you can
not we'll do to-day. Drive your work,
and do not let II drive you, but do no
more than you can do well. Ii your
neighbor puts In twenty acres OF corn
roughly, you would better put In ten
properly.
II but small crop Of strawberries has
been produced from vigorous vines, and
the beds are kept free from weeds and
grass, then the second year, and even the
third year, may be profitable, depending,
of course, on season, fertility, cultiva-
ton. etc.
Successful farming includes horicult-
ure and horticulture. The man who con-
fines his work solely to the production
of the coarser products Of the earth may
succeed in making money, but he will
never get that complete satisfaction
which Is obtainable from his occupation.

kinds of stock, increases the quantity OF
milk produced, and is . saving OF from
one to two tons of good hay for every
acre sown; and, not least, affords a

essary labor on the part OF farmers

sarily.

lAQSE RACES.

It Il useless and idle to cry down
horse trotting, for during all the years u
has held It's place among the sports and
pastimes Of civilized people. Evidently
that side OF our natures needs cultivating
as well rs others. That 1t Is possible to
free the race track from harsh and cruel
practices there, cannot be questioned, for
each year more humane methods are In
operation. As men come to better sp-
preciate the worth Of their animals they
treat them more kindly. Kindness Is
the rule to-day, not the exception. Only
a few wears ago, and the best drivers felt
obliged to exert all their strength In
steadying their horses, to-day many are
driven 10 their record with the reins in
one hand. Not long ago we saw horse
on one OF our half-mile tracks, finish a
close second In 2 :25 II, driven entirely
on q slack rein.
The drift is 10 this direction, and sure

the old-time practice. Another improve.
mept is the relief from loud shouting
and heavy whipping, so often heard and
seen years ago. Everywhere evidence oi
more humane methods may be seen and
no man can tell how much this has to do
with the increase In speed, or the safety
Of the horse. II Is this yielding to pub
