DIES MONIES, August 1G. MARK Ehle,
the dairy,nan who some time ago was
arrested on a charge OF aduiteratl'ng
his milk by adding toit small quaint.
ties OF boracic acid was discharged
Nv Justice Halloran, before whom the
preliminary trial was had. Ehle main
tanned that preventative is not an
adulteration, and that he had not been
guilty OF nm offense. The court, in its
opinion, which, at the request OF the
parties to the suit, was reduced to
writing, holds that boraeic acid, while
it may be preservative and undou bt-
edly Is not harmful, is an adulteration
in that it is not one of the ingredients
ofmillS. This is in line with the Sec
ton prohibiting the use Of any and all
coloring matters or ingredients foreign
to the composition Of food article
unless it is plainly stated that the
articles are used when the sales are
made. But the decision dischargina
the defendant is on another ground,
the court holding that while it was
admitted that boracic acid was used,
it was not shown by the state that q
sale Of milk containing it had been
made or that it was sold without the
purchaser knowing the exact contents
of the milk. 1t is probable that the
state will not rest contented with the
decision but will ask the grand jury
to investigate the charges against
Ehle, the decision of q magistrate not
being bar to consideration OF the
case by the grand jury. VA.

BEAUTIFUL OLD NARA.
the Capital of Japan Ten Hundred
Years Ago. .

Inc Capital OF Japan Ten Hundred
Years Ago. .
We went through Nara, beautiful
old town that was the capital Of Japan
1000 years ago, but has now the drow-
sy quiet Of a sleepy cathedral city, says
Travel. Every place in the world, like
every man and every woman, has an
individuality. And the individuality
Of Nara is like that Of beautifully
souled man who has grown old, yet
whom the cares OF the world have new
ear troubled, and whose wrinkled
countenance has ever serene smile.
That's Nara. Civilization has not
made It conventional and shoddy. The
tourist .skips it in his rambles. It is
old Japan in loveliness. 1t was a holy
day in the Shinto religion when We
were there, and every child born that
day was counted year older than a
child born the day before or the next
day. Thousands Of pilgrims had come
to visit the shrines. There were gaunt-
checked old men In octagonal-shaped
hats and long gray silk robes hob
bling on their STATS from temple to
temple. Shaven-headed, yellow-robed
Buddhist priests walked with solemn
mien through the silent avenues.
Bunches of Japanese maidens, win
some to look upon, hobbled on tiny.
clogs, their arms about one another's
shoulders. The trees arched long
branches over the path, and from the
knee-deep bracken came jumping the
deer, long-horned bucks and soft-eyed
does, running unaffrighted and pushing
their nostrils into ones hand shifting
for cakes. The deer live friendly with
mankind. They roam in the woods
and lanes by day. At shutdown there
Is a bugle call, and they come will
