A SAD CASE.
Young Man From Belfast Has His Mind I'm.
balanced by Shipwreck.

Those who We're at the afternoon
train from the East noticed a young
man in charge of an officer who Was
taking him to the insane hospital 1t
was Eugene Brown of Belfast and the
history of his case as told by his moth
er is sad one. He had never been
way from home in his lie and knew
nothing of hardshiaps. A short time
ago he left home with Captain Smith
for little fishing trip in the Fairy
Forest" The captain has followed the
sea all his life. and there was no rea-
son to think that the excursion would
be anything but pleasant for the boy.
All went we'll until the vessel was off
Petit Menan. where she was wrecked
The captain and the boy succeeded in
getting away in a small boat. A fog
set in and they floated about, exposed
to the weather and without anything
to eat for 4S hours To an old salt,
this would not have been so very bad.
but to the boy fresh from all the COM
forts of home it was a terrible expert
ence.
After the fog cleared they sue
ceeded in reaching land. The boy had
no money and no friends where he
went ashore and in some manner was
separated from the captain. He grad
ually worked his way back to his home
and was broken down when he arrived
there.
Nothing peculiar was noticed about
him until last Thursday, when
he left home without telling
anyone where he was going
and went to Castine on the boat
He was brought back by the captain.
Since then he has been growing worse.
His experiences in the shipwreck have
been working on his mind and finally
it became unbalanced. He has been
ratioral at times and is never very
violent. He is in great terror all the
time and the danger he has passed
through seems to him to be still threat
ening his life.
His mother was almost heart broken.
but hopes that the attack may be only
temporary and that her son may soon
be restored to her.

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make the
food unwholesome Prominent hygienists
who have given the matter most study
regard these powders as an evil that
should be suppressed by state action. In
Minnesota and Wisconsin alum powders
are not permitted to be sold unless they
are branded to warn consumers of their
true character. while in the District of
Columbia the authorities have under the
direction of Congress. adopted regula =
lions to prohibit the use of alum in
bread altogether.
Are not the people Of other states. as
well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon
sin. entitled to warning of a danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand. and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as the
people of the District CT Columbia are
projected. by legislation which is entirely
prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of a statute, how can state
boards of health. state analysts or fooG
commissions better serve the public thar
by publishing in the newspapers from
time to time the names of the baking
powders which they find to be made from
alum? .

Brown pleaded guilty to the charge
