The statement is signed by the at

Of stock issued in excess Of the actual
amount invested.
The Alliance Buggy Co.. and the

dissolution have been filed with the
secretary of state they are still held
for the tax.

Columbus, Aug. 21.--The dairy and
food department of Ohio desires to
advise Ohio dealers to exercise care
in the purchase Of maple syrup for
the fall trade. Reports from depart
ment chemist indicate that most Of
syrrps SO called on the market are
adulterated. A number of manufac-
turers are preparing goods for this
market under the labels heretofore
used, omitting therefrom only the
word syrup" Many of these labels
are calculated to deceive the pur-
chaser into believing that he Is buy
ing pure maple syrup. To protect
themselyes,' retailers must sell moth
ing for maple syrup unless 1t is Ia
beled as such and the label must con-
tain the. name and address OF the
manufactures. Dealers are also ad-
vised, to secure guarantees before SELL
ing any such syrup unless they know
1t to be pure. !.
