FOOD DEALERS
READING LAWS

The legislation Of last winter and
the enforcement of the food laws are
receiving, in consequence of the in
creased number of inspectors. are
stirring the dealers in foods in this
state to strenuous efforts to meet the
requirements of the law, as is lndl-
Gated by the following extract taken
from a letter sent by manager OF
one of the great wholesale grocery
establishments of Chicago to the
Wisconsin agent of that house:
''The legislature Of Wisconsin en-
acted some exceedingly stringent
food legislations and provided for a
corps OF Is food inspectors, all placed
under the civil service, and the laws
are being daily enforced. AS there
are many features of this law affect
ing retail grocery and drug mer-
chants. doing business in Wisconsin,
we think that each one should have a
copy of the law and carefully read
the same, so that if they have in stock
any goods which will not be legal I'M
der the new requirements or which
will have to be differently labeled
hereafter, they can dispose OF the
same before the law becomes effec-
tive By addressing ]. @. Emery,
commissioner dairy and food depart
ment, Madison, and asking him to for
ward copy of the Wisconsin laws
same can be obtained. AS this is a
matter of considerable Importance to
yourself, we think you should write
to Mr.. Emery for copy of this law
and study the same as you would
your bible or some interesting novel,
il you prefer. Several of the sec
tons become effective October list,
while others do not become effective
until January 1 this is to give the
merchants chance to dispose OF all
goods they now have In stock and it
is up to you to preach this to them
every day We do not want the first
OF October to roll around and find
that merchants have any of our goods
in stock which are not legal under
the new law"

SAWS IN A BANANA.
Postoffice Robner Who Escaped Had a
Woman's Help.

Postoffice Robner Who Escaped Had a
Woman's Help.
La Crosse, Wis. Aug. 3.-Investiga-
ton Of the daring and sensational es-
cape Of Herbert S. Trainer, the alleged
postoffice robber, from the third story
of the La Crosse county Jail, indicates
that freedom was secured through the
planning Of a mysterious woman, and
the medium by which saws were
passed to the man seems to have been
a banana.
Trainer, Cunningham and Crane
were arrested together, having held up
a passenger on the Burlington train
in broad daylight and were Immediate
ly suspected of the Stoddard postof-
fee robbery and turned over to the
United States authorities. When
placed in Jail here they were separat-
ed at the suggestion of the United
States officers. one on each OF the
floors of the county Jail Trainer was
on the third floor.
He had been in but short time
when a mysterious woman, dressed in
deep black, appeared, who claimed to
be from Washington, d. c., and to be
Trainers wife. She disappeared after
a consultation with Trainer, and did
not appear until a couple of weeks
ago when she sought an interview with
Trainer.
During this, however, she was not
entirely alone, an officer being where
he could see them. Later SHE disap-
peared, but during ali the time strang-
ers nave been noticed passing the jail,
apparently strangers simply looking at
the structure as visitors are wont to
do on such occasions. One day re-
Gently a friend from the outside, wo-
man not known mere, sent Trainer
couple of bananas. 1t is now supposed
that saws were concealed in this fruit.
The work took several days and nights
and during the times the officers made
their rounds the work was covered up
with shoe blacking.

Ilimbermen are bound by the terms of
their leases to relinquish such portion

Lumbermen are therefore much ex-

front played British and American

THICK AS GRAssHoPPERs.
Twelve or More Children Each in
10000 Quebec Families.

New York WOrld-In the province
OF Quebec there are no less than 10000
heads Of French Canadian families
each of whom possesses a family of
twelve children Or more. Under a
provincial enactment these families
are entitled to grant OF 100 acres OF
land from the provincial public domain
and this law is now causing much con-
Germ to the provincial authorities.
When the law passed providing for
this grant of crown lands to pro-
ductive married couples it was never
calculated that the number of large
families would prove SO very great.
1t has turned out that the matter is
proving a serious incubus upon the To-
cal government on account of the
many thousands that have applied for
the right of a grant of land and the
thousands that are yet to be satisfied.
The French-Canadian farmers marry
young, and they are strong, hardy
race of people.
The fathers of these families invar1-
ably choose the land to which they tare

the most extraordinary OF all the mys.

Two weeks later, when British

Everything was in its place-eyen the
