Will Not Take Fines.

Dairy and Food Commissioner War
rem has taken another step in his en-
deavor to wipe out the sale of adulter
ated articles of food and drink in the
State and has instructed his agents not
to accept the payment of fines in set
tlement of cases, but return the cases
to court
The doctor is of the opinion that the
mere payment of fine for violation
of the laws is not sufficient punish
ment for the offender and will in the
future insist upon the Imprisonment
OF the person found selling adulterat-
ed articles. This order is directed
chiefly against the adulterants of milk.
The following statement announc
ing his intention to put defendants be-
hind the bars for their misdeeds was
given out by DR.. Warren on Saturday.

A REPREHEN
SIBLE PRACTICE

Some persons who avail themselves
regularly of the advantages of the Y.
M. 9. A. reading room have fallen in
to roprehensible practice, which is
causing a good deal of Indignation
about the building This is nothing
less than the taking of books out of
the binders and failing to return them
as we'll as cutting clippings out of
other publications which are permit
ed to remain in the rooms.
1t is hard to tell which of the above
offenses causes the most annoyance.
The reading room is a very popular
resort and the publications provided
are equally interesting to all. Several
magazines have been surreptitiously
taken out during the past two weeks
and these are very much missed by
those frequenting the room. Again it
is not at all pleasing i'll perusing one
of the publications found on the table
to run up against mutilated page

interesting part of the article.
Charitable persons incline to the
view that those who remove the books
do not intend to keep them but will
return them by and by. At the same
time these rest under grave suspicion
and this article is inspired by the pro-
per authorities with the hope that 1t
will suggest to the persons removing
books the advisability of returning
avoiding unnecessary embarrassment.

Butterfeld Has Turned Up.

The mysterious disappearance of
Sterling s. Butterfeld, the Lime Ridge
contractor who left his home Tuesday
morning and failed to return, was ex-
planned Saturday morning when Mrs.
Butterfeld received letter from him,
dated at Rochelle, Illinois.
In his letter he stated that he did
not remember anything from the time
he left the office of O. r. Weiss, of
Bloomsbury, until he reached point
100 miles west of Pittsburg, when
some one spoke to him and asked him
if he felt better. A stranger took an
interest III him, and he remembered
that he had an uncle,a physician, who
lived at Rochelle, Illinois, and to that
town his newly found friend directed
him.
There the physician diagnosed his
illness as being caused by q sunstroke,
but in doing so, he did not know of
Butterfield's 5 previous illness, which
was caused by catarrh of the stomach.
His condition has now improved bot
he will stay at Rochelle for some
time Should he not fully recover Mrs.
Butterfield will go out to him in IL
linois.
Butterfield is member of tne Car
penters and Joiner's organization of
Berwick and also 81 the p. O. S. of A.
and these organizations have offered
~ look after his return.

ENGINEER TO AR
RIVE This Week

The Trustees Monday were notified
by Joseph l.. Sweigard 81 Company of
Philadelphia, who have the contract
for installing the new sewer plant at
the Hospital for the Insane here, that
an engineer employed by the firm
would be at the Hospital this week for
the purpose of making the necessary
surveys, that all the material has been
ordered and that this along with tools,
&c, will arrive at Danville at almost
any time.
The method of disposing of the vast
accumulation of sewage on the Hos
pital grounds involves an extensive
plant, the construction of which will
require a good deal of work. The CON
tract calls for the completion of the
plant by January lst The contractors
will be ready to begin work in a very
few days and probably will have use
for a good many workmen.
The SweiRard method provides for
laying new sewer lines leading to a
receiving we'll about 1900 feet at the
rear of the Hospital. The water from
this point will be pumped into dis
tribution reservoir located on the high
est point of land about $500 feet at
the rear of the building. From this
point the sewage will flow by gravity
through series of pipes laid through
Out different sections of the land for
purposes of irrigation and fertilizing.
The pumping machinery will consist
of an air compressor of the duplex type
located III the present boiler room of
the Hospital.
