State Pure Food Commissioner E.

cal dealers Goldfish packed with boric
acid. Several days ago following analy-

Goldfish in town was taken up by the
jobbers, they in each cas- paying the

The rolling mills yesterday made
record for production of steel plates for
the continuous rail joint. The bar mill
turned out n, 900 pounds of finished
plates, taking 81, 1000 pounds of steel
billets from the furnaces. The differ.

the scraps taken off the bars at the
shear. These can be worked owe again,
the loss in heating being less than 5
per cent. One of the knives of the shear
broke late in the afternoon, SO that
all the bars rolled were no cut and
