 ''Ali who saw the Impure Food Bx- hibit at the Buffalo exposition must have been profoundly impressed with the urgent need of national legislation upon this question. It was shown that grape and current jellies sold at the groceries as pure were often celered compounds of glucose and sugar. la. most instances, of course, the price al which such jeI- lies afe offered should convince the GUS toner that he is buying an adui<erated product Pure fruit and pNHe sugar could not be sold so low. It was also graphically shown at this exhibit thar imported spices were mixed with ground cereals, cocoanut sheils. clover stems olive stones sandalwood, mustard hulls, and other slightly aromatic stuffs in such proportions as to produce almost any grade for which there ts demand.

 "In his annual report Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture has strongly urged congress to pass a com prehensive pure food law. The chemis- try forces of his department have worked in cooperation with the pure food con- gress and other organizations, and their analysis show that hundreds of articles of daily use are adulterated, many of them In such a manner as to make them highly injurious. The pure food commis- sions of several states are doing splen- did work in educating the people up to the fact that adulteration injuresc ligiti- mate industries and fosters deception and fraud But this work is in its infancy, and the people must awaken to the great importance Of the question and demand larger appropriations and more efficient laws and publicity to successfully pros- ecute a work of such vast consequences.

BOR's SISTER SUE.

When Sue goes walking down the street On Sabbath day, so trim and neat, With look demure and face so pure You wouldn't think she'd be as bad AS ever was a growing lad: But I'm her brother and it's true, There's nothing that Sue wouldn't do! She's bright and quick and full of fun, Her lessons? They are never done: I heard her say, while she's at play They come to her" Of course she
 "fibs,'
 I really think my sister "cribs." To get ahead of sister Sue Is more than you or I can do! She rides and skates, and can play ball And is the nimblest Of them all. At golf and Dyke" there's not her like! She takes to water like rat, Nay, even dares to swing a bat! Oh, if our mother only knew The dreadful things "her" Sue will do! She can "shin up" the tallest tree Will tell "whop" to shelter me
 Right at the table and so able If will let her in 'the game
 If not-she tells on me-for shame! If you owned her, what would you do With such "tattling' sister Sue?
 The teachers even are afraid
 To fall into the traps she's laid
 On stair and chair and ev'rywhere.

 With such a mischief-loving trend.
 What troubles are in store for you,
 My reckless From boy" sister Suei
 If she were not afraid of mice,
 I'd swear a boy she's in disguise;
 Such slack array! So wild of way!
 Her course of pranks is never run
 From early rise to set of sun. And if you knew her as I do, You'd say the same of sister Sue! And she can put on such an air Of injured innocence. and stare
 With eyes of blue-so frank and true At her mad"-sputtering accuser, | To doubt her would be to abuse her. What are you ever coming to You "minx," you tricky sister Sue? But she shant fool me any more, Against her I've laid up a store Of Means" and pins" and kicks on shins
 And punishments she's made me bear I'm only waiting "to get square" | With this my heartless sister Sue 1 I wish I knew just what to do!

WooDMoNT CHAPEL.


 In closing an interesting article on the history of Woodmont chapel, the Milford Citizen says:
 ''The beginning of the present chapel organization dates back some r or IS years ago when meetings were held in the old school house conducted by Deacon Charles Nerwin and other well known gentlemen. For some years the late Everard Clark was the superintendent of the Sunday school. Later his nephew Olin How ard Clark interested himself in the school, The enlargement of the chapel building was accomplished about six years ago. Three years ago the debt was cancelled. On the day of the re- dedication, one Sunday afternoon a heavy storm came up early in the day and prevented the clergyman who was to preach from coming. Rev. C. F. Upson was among the guests and was invited to occupy the absentee's place. With but five minutes notice
 
 preached a sermon, it was said at the time. as applicable and interesting as if it had been in preparation for months.
 The land on which the building stands was donated by the Treat and Bryan families and many of the Wood mont people gave literally of their time and money to complete the work.
 The total cost Of the chapel Is some thing over four thousand dollars. and not a dollar of indebtedness remains A more earnest and self denying body of ladies it would be hard to find than | those who have busted themselves ir season and out in building, equipping and maintaining this religious organi- zation. The gentlemen here supple mented their efforts splendidly.'
 "The chapel is the center of pleasant social life, affording, with the occasion' al concerts, socials and suppers, an at. tractive place for young and old tc find profit and recreation. Summer work Is under the care of genera committee of which MT. Andrew H Smith, of New Haven, is the chairman Other prominent gentlemen and ladies make up the members of the severa committees. Rev. Mr. Upson is tht stated supply or minister in charge Each year Woodmont grows more pop ulous and each year new houses arise those who come from adjacent citie: enjoying its pleasant places equally with those who come from afar. Re gently water and gas has been added t( the comforts of Woodmont, and with 2 good trolley service, mail facilitie! equal to most summer resorts, an( markets which cater to the best trade th's sandsome summer watering place will grow and thrive and add to Mil ford's glory"

REGISTRARS IN SESSION.

Third Days Listing of Voters by Party
 Shows Little Activity.
 Beginning at noon yesterday the dep uty ward registrars were holding sss- sions at the registration places in the First, Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth wards. A few names are being added to those listed as demo- crats or republicans by the party regis trars last spring. Voters who did not register then and who forfeited their right to participate at the primaries and caucuses thereby are taking ad- vantage of this opportunity to qualify as participants in the fall primaries. This is more noticeable on the part of the republicans, who showed more in- difference to the requirements of the primary law in February than did the democrats.
 However, comparatively few names are being registered in the several wards. The legal notice issued by the general registrars contains the dates and the places of registration in the wards.

WOoDMoNTs GRIEVANCE.

Claim Made That the Town of Milford
 Has Not Spent $500 in the Woodmont
 Colony This year-Milford Enters a
 General Denial.
 Milford, Aug. 1.-The annual meeting of the Woodmont Improvement associ- ation was held last Saturday evening at the Woodmont engine rooms, Chair man A. IT. Smith presiding. The proj- ect of building $40,000 sewer was among the different items, but no &C., tion was taken.
 A report from the committee appoint ed last year to frame new charter was heard and remarks from several of those present were. in part, to the eff feet that Milford had not spent $500 iii Woodmont this year. Other people pres ent claimed that the appropriation from the town of Milford was approximately $1, ,000
 The Milford authorities say that the town of Milford has spent on an aver age $2O00 year during the past six or eight years, and, as Milford people see 1t, the charter committee seeks to have Woodmont set aside from Milford as a separate colony.
 An extract from the report of the charter revision committee is as fol- lows: Mindful of the utter neglect of this settlement by the stown of Milford the wrongful withholding of money col. lected by the freeholders of this asso- citation by the town, and feeling that a reasonable portion of the taxes so col lected are equitably due us, yet have been continually denied us, we have de- cided, after a careful examination o1 charters of corporations and boroughs granted by the legislature of this state that the only possible way of getting our rights is by revision of our char. ter practically on other lines" It is highly probable that the legisla. ture will be asked to incorporate Wood mont as borough.

SECOND HEAVIES' REUNIOl
 DOWN AT BRIDGEPORT.

DOW N AT BRlDGEHOhI
 The veterans of the Second Connecti- cut Heavy artillery will probably hold their annual reunion at Pleasure Beach about the middle of September. It was planned to hold the reunion in New Milford this year, but the disastrous fire there upset calculations which the citizens of the place had made. A large number of the veterans of the regiment reside in this city. among them being Captain Edward w. Marsh, William D. Disbrow and many others equally as we'll known. The regiment was one that saw hard service during the civil war and at the battle of Cold Harbor in June. 1864 suffered severely among the killed being Colonel Elisha W. Kellogg. The late Judge A. H. Fenn, Of Wlnsted, was also a member of the regiment, en- listing as private and being promoted to major At the battle of Cedar Creek he lost his right arm. Lyman s. Cat lin, treasurer of the Mechanics and Farmers Savings bank, was also a member of the regiment.
