SODA WATER AND BAD TEA.
Dangerous Articles, According to
Government Chemist.

DIR. Wiley, chemist for the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Washington,
who has just concluded the first of the
tests relative to food preservatives and
their effect on the human system, said:
1.-The devil turks in the soda water
fountain and iced tea is simply suicide.
If persons would only use precaution
there is no reason why one should suffer
more with sickness in summer than
in winter. A few of the most delicious
and palatable edibles, as we'll as drinks,
have got a bad reputation as producers
of summer sickness when in fact the
whole trouble is due to the careless
preparation of food and drink and the
too lax law as to inspection.
Zone of the most fragrant causes OF
sickness in summer is entirely over
looked by law, and that is the prepara-
ton of soil for growing vegetables for
the market. l have on several occas-
ions called attention to the danger OF
eating vegetables grown on or under
ground which has been exposed to con-
tamination by sewage, city waste or
garbage"
When DR.. Wiley was asked if the use
of meat is unhealthy in hot weather, he
I
said:
"Of course that is the general plea,
but in fact meat is much more easily
digested than starchy vegetables and is
both nutritious and continental. wnlle
vegetables are satisfying to the appe-
tite, they are watery and furnish little
nutriment, their qualities being condi-
mental and mechanical. Meat. good
bread, potatoes and milk free from
germs is the diet to be relied upon at
all times for good health.
| Good bread should be the founda-
ton of every meal, and too much care
cannot be given is preparation. Bread
and butter, with some agreeable drink
will make a luncheon good enough for
anyone. Little children should be en-
couraged in the old-fashloned haplt OF
bread and butter eating. and let bread
butter and sugar take the place of in
digestible sweets. such as rich pastries
buildings and cakes"

before the start Mr.. Kingsbury saves
the excursionists much vexatious delay

weighed five pounds.
Statistics have been taken by the Water
Co. of Gardiner showing the number of
cottages at the lake, the average number
of their occupants, hearness of the cot
tages to the water, etc. These statistics
show that on the shores of the lake and
on the islands there are III cottages sThis
is a good showing, considering that the
first cottage was built some Is years ago.
Last Sunday night and Monday fore
noon, this place was visited by the heav-
lest gale that has occurred since the sum-
mer colony was established The wind
was direct from the northwest, and shook
even the foundations of the cottages. 1t
is wonderful that the wharves weathered
the gale. A few boats got adrift, but
there was no particular damage.
So soft and silky are the waters of the
lake that good many of the lady cot
tagers, Monday mornings, may be seen at
the end Of their floats doing their week $
washing. Just little soap, in connec-
ton with the clothes and water. is all
there is needed. Hot water is entirely
unnecessary, and with little labor the
clothes come out lily-white
A trip down the lake will convince any
one that the growth of cottage building
is continuous. The sound of the axe and
the hammer is heard on every hand, while
new roofs are showing themselves among
the pines and cedars. This is remarkable,
when the high price of labor and building
material is considered

come from Boston and other points
west of Portland will be interested to
learn that freight rates We're advanced
on the Boston e Maine. Saturday. The
increase is made to meet the exception
ally heavy increase in the cost of main
tanning and running the property.
Other lines in New England have TAX
en- similar action. The increase will
be horizontal. that is. it will go down
the whole length of the class freight
line and make an advance of 1 per
cent per 100 pounds. The rise is not as
great as some of the other companies
have made. but it is expected to be
sufficient to offset in great part the
| additional cost of labor and materials
| required in maintaining the service.

in q condition which was both mentally
and physically decidedly below the
standard, appeared before the munich
pal court, Saturday morning. under the

explained to the court that he had
journeyed from Ellsworth and had
taken a drink at Bangor, but from that
point his memory failed him. He
wanted to go to Augusta and was vey
