Worthless Vegetables poctcred and

Philadelphia, July 3l.-A sensational
discovery has just been announced by
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Dr.. b. II. Warren. In his statement he
says a reputable member of the Retail
Grocers' Association has inspected
canned goods. recently received in this
city. and labelled Pure Canned Toma-
toes Upon examination they proved
to be nothing but a miscellaneous as
sortment Of vegetables. including a few
green tomatoes and red paint the
whole having the appearance Of ripe
tomatoes.
Agents Of the dairy and food depart
ment were at once detailed to inyestl-
gate. and We're astonished 20 find that
red paint was used 10 a great extent IN
coloring worthless and unripe toma-
toes, and that other coloring matter
was also used to give a ripe appearance
TO worthless canned vegetables Of W.
rious kinds
Certain small canned goods manu-
facturers in this city and other parts
Of the state have been under the sur
veillance Of agents Of the department
for some time. and Charles L. Brown
attorney for the department, said that
the names Of several of them were no"
in his hands. Agents are still Dusty
engaged in gathering evidence, ana ar
rests may be made at any time.

WHAT IS "MALGA?1'

Malaga Is not designed to be a Cure-all
as at first might appear. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, containing the ac'
tive medicinal properties which Nature
has placed in the hands OF the careful
student in the realm OF Botanical research,
and is the result OF years OF practical ex.
perience in the laboratories OF two oil
the most successful practitioners in the
United States, men who enjoy the fruits
Of an international reputation, well and
nobly earned by their success in combat.
ing disease with Natures own remedies.
Malaga is especially prepared tocombat
and destroy the germs OF Malaria, Chills,
La Grippe and Fever. 1t acts quickly,
eliminating the disease through the Kid
neys and Liver, healing and purifying
them, and cleaning the blood OF refuss
matter and disease.
Malga will cure Acute and Chronic Kid
ney and Liver Troubles, Pains in the
Back. Joints and Limbs, Mucous. Blood
or Brick Dust in Urine. 1t strengthens
tine Urinary Organs, and makes Thick,
Sluggish and scanty Urine flow freely
at will.
1t strengthens the Mucous Membranes
that are effected by Catarrh, Colds, ETC.,
effecting a radical and quick cure.
Malaga is also composed OF slightly bit
ter tonic principles, which make it an
ideal Tonic and Appetizer, and cure for
Nervousness, Indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.
Anyone living in Malarial,,, Chills and
Typhoid Districts should always have a
bottle of Malaga on hand and take itonce
or twice day to prevent contamination
with those diseases which are ever pre-
sent and ready to attack debilitated
and enfeebled body. Fortify yourself
against these attacks by taking Malaga as
directed.

that the beard will not consider any

follows:
And whereas the board Of concil-

Inasmuch as the anthracite coal strike

Therefore be 1t resolved by the
board of Cancellation, that where a
strike occurred or shall. occur at any
colliery coming under the award, the
organization representing the major
ity OF the mine workers shall insist
that the employees Of the particular
colllery where said strike shall have
occurred return to work, and as a pen
atty for having violated the provisions
OF the award the grievance shall not
be adjusted by the board Of concilia-
