Of food:
MANY pure food bills have been intro
duced and some passed by State legisla-
lures: many have been offered to Con
gress but all thus far seem Objectionable
il has seemed difiicult for politicians TO
formulate a satisfactory bill that would
protect the common people and yet avoid
BARN to honest makers and prevent end.
less trouble TO retailers No govt COM
mission or officer has the right 10 fix
food standards to define what the peo-
pie shall and shall not eat, for what agrees
with one may not agree with another and
such act would deprive the common
citizen Of his personal liberty. The
Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, perhaps the
largcal makers of prepared foods In the
world, have naturally close know ledge
of the needs of the people and the details
of the business OF the purycyOrs, THE
retail grocer and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared n bin for submission
to Congress which Is intended tOacCOm-
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch rs 4
citizen Of the L. :. has a right to food
protection even when he enters another
State II is deemed proper That the govt
take control of this matter and provide a
national law to govern all the states. A
copy Of the bill Is herewith reproduced
Sec ! governs the maker whether the
food Is put up in small packages sealed,
or In barrels, boxes or otherwise.
Sec govern the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the
reailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement Of ingredients he must
publish the statement OF the makers
and add his own name and address az

the statement and throws 1t upon the
maker, where It properly belongs.

The Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning OF its
existence printed on the outside OF each

THEATERS
At THE eINNARD THEATRE.
Aunt" Makes . Decided
Hit.

The initial performance of "Charley's
Aunt" last night was a decided success
from every standpoint. There never
has been a comedy presented in this
city that has proven such a pleaser.
S. NJ. Curtiss as Lord Fancourt Bah
berly, was SO decidedly funny, he kept
everyone in a gale of laughter every
moment he was on the stage. His work
as "Charley's Aunt from Brazil, where
the nuts come FROM" will always be
remembered by those who saw him.
Miss Howard was seen in the dainty
part Of Kitty Verden, and was SO low
able and sweet in this character, she
won many new admirers to add to her
already large list.
Frederick Clark was admirably suit
ed to the part Of Charley.
The other parts were all we'll sus-
tanned.

According to reports which were re-
ceived from down river Friday after
noon the kennebec is now open from
the Augusta dam to the sea. and ship
ping above Bath will soon be resumed.
Thursday the ice had gone from the
dam as far as Farningdale and the
river was open for long distance be-
low that point. and yesterday afternoon
the small jam at Farmingdale broke
away and went down the river Below
Gardiner the river was clear as far
down as Swan island. where there was
a jam. but as a report was received
from Bath during the afternoon that
much ice was running by that city it
was inferred that all the upriver ice
had passed through with the exception
of some along the shores. At this city
there was a slight rise in the water of
the river. While it was higher than it
has been this spring there was no ap-
proach to a freshet pitch.

II. D. Evans, director of the State
Laboratory of hygiene in this city,
who has been engaged in making
analyses of the city water supply, has
made his report to Supt. Albee of the
Augusta Water District. In the report
Mr.. Evans says that at the time that
the report was made. which was during
the first of March. the chemical analy-
sis showed no sign of sewage pollution
in the water. the chlorine being low
the nitrates and nitrites absent and
the ammonias no higher than would be
expected in a pond water. The organic
material dissolved in the water is of
vegetable origin and not animal. and
so will have no effect on the quality
of the water so far as drinking it is
concerned. The bacterial examination
shows the colon bacillus to be absent.
and the report states that it has been
absent from the water ever since the
reservoir has been filled with lake
water entirely, irrespective of
whether the water has come from Cob
bosscecontee or Carleton ponds
The count of bacteria was
normal in the four samples submitted
nv Mr.. Albee, and shows better than
anything else the effect of the change
from the river water. the bacteria in
the river water averaging about $4,000
ner cubic centimetre. 1t may be said
by way of comparison that the number
of bacteria in the Carleton pond water
averages $40 per cubic centimetre. In
concluding the report states that the
,,,otar ;s in a safe condition to be used
for drinking purposes.
