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.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians to
formulate a satisfactory bill that would
| protect the common people and yet avoid
harm to. honest makers and prevent end
| less trouble to retailers. No govt COM
| mission or officer has the right to fix
| food standards" to define what the peo-
Pile shall and shall noteat fol whatagrees
| 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
largest makers of prepared foods in the
world, have naturally a close knowledge
of the needs of the people and the details
of the business of the purveyors, fthe
retail grocer) and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submission
to Congress which is intended to accom-
pliSh the desired ends, and inasmuch as a
citizen of the u. S. has a right to food
protection even when he enters another
State 1t is deemed proper that the govt
take control of this matter and provide a
national law to govern all the states. A

Sec. l governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
Or in barrels, boxes or otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open q 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 as a
guarantee of his selling the food as it is
represented to him which r~elieVes~the
retailer Of responsibility of the truth of
the statement and throws it upon the
maker, where it properly belongs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of it's
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact statement
of what the contents were made of in or
der that the consumer might know pre-
cisely what he or she was eating. A per-
son desiring to buy, for instance, strictly
pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the
price has a right to expect not only an
equivalentforthe cost but a further right
to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he
may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part of fruit juices, sugar ana a
portion of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful information of the

 The issue of the Silver Standard for August, 1906, is a reissue in part of that for August, 1S47, and the text and illustrations are all of that date There is much that is interestinp and all the more for the sharp contrast 1t affords with the present time and nres- ent usages. The Nauyon Temnle OlIi- nois) is one of the pictures with an- other of Cincinnati, accompanied bv an article in which it is predicted that Cincinnati will be Queen the largest city in the country! This Is fg,lred out on the principle of the average growth of the last twenty years Cbe- fore 1S47) compared with the develop- ment of New York in the same time. By that showing New York citv in. 1910 would have one million people and Cincinnati in the same year 3,2OO, ,OOO. but in 1850 New York will have sixteen million people and Cincinnati 25 6OO, ,OOO The figure for New York four years hence is hit pretty accurately. but the rest is very wild. Cincinnati did not keep up it's pace for long and New York soon left 1t hopelessly behind.

HOWE's HOME.

Boston Globe Says Birthplace of Sew.
 ing Machine Inventor Fast Going to | Decay.
 The birthplace of Elias Howe, Jr. AnA ventor of the sewing machine, at spen- cer, Mass, is fast going to decay, &C., cording to the Boston Globe.
 MT. Howe lived the greater part of
 his life in this city, where he was president of the Howe Sewing Machine company, the first of its kind in the country located on the site of the Salts Textile manufactory. There is a statue of him at Seaside Park. and a local Grand Army post is named after him. He was born in 1919 and died in Brooklyn in 1867
 The Boston Globe says:
 Elias Howe, Jr.. needs to be spoken of but once before the public recognize that he was the man who invented the sewing machine. If the work of get ting up an invention that would do the work of an ordinary needle, MT. Howe succeeded in getting together all parts of a machine but the needle. which was of the greatest importance. This fac tor nearly proved disastrous +o the in- ventor, as he could not arrange the machine so that it would take the stitch.
 one night, according to tradition. he had dream that he was in a savage country and that the king had given him twenty four hours to make a nee de. If he did not finish the same i'm twenty-four hours he should be put to death. Just as the time limit was to expire and the kings warriors were ready to kill him a needle with an eve near the point was seen pointing to- ward him. At four o'clock i'm tba morning, in his workshop, he invented a needle that would do the work. Af9 ter that the rest of the machine was easy.
 In all other parts of the sewing ma- chine great improvement have been made, but the needle that caused MT Howe so much trouble is the same one that was invented by him. The first sewing machine was invented in Spen- cer by Mir. Howe with capacity of three hundred spindles per minute The Spencer public library has in its library one of the first makes of MT. Howe.
 The first stitching done by the ma chine was in two pieces of broadcloth. which are in the possession of Mrs. F A, Smith of Worcester. The home of the inventor in South Spencer is fast go- ing to decay, and soon time will put the historic residence out of existence.

 AUGUST 2S

Two Hundred and Fifty Members From All Over the State Will be Present.
 Banquet at steeplechase Island-Sur-
 misses as to Next Omcers--Degrees in
 Grand Circle Will be Given on Mon
 day.
 Members of the Brotherhood of America from all over the state will assemble in Bridgeport on Tuesday, August 2S, to attend the seventh annu- al convention of the grand circle. Up- wards of two hundred and fifty dele- gates are expected. Mayor Reynolds will deliver an address of welcome at the opening of the convention in, Brotherhood hall at 1S1 State street. at ten o'clock on the morning of the date given.
 George skaats, the retiring grand chief Washington, will call the conven- ton to order after which Mayor Rey- holds will make his address. The principal interest in the convention is over the election of officers, and there Is a strong probability of Eugene Hope of Unity circle of Bridgeport be- ing elected grand chief Washington, the highest office in thegrand circle.
 Thomas Wass, of Progressive circle, also of Bridgeport, will probably get the next office, that of grand chief Jeff ferson. Alfred Moffatt of Derby is slated for grand chief Franklin; John J. Gaffney of Progressive circle, grand scroll keeper; David w. Lynch, Ferris Bishop circle, Bridgeport, grand treas- urer; George Goe'bel, New Haven, grand herald; Charles Ellis, Bridge port, grand watcher of the day; grand watch of the night, John W. McCar- thy of Derby.
 One of the interesting matters to be considered at the session is a proposi- tion to abandon the referendum plan of elections and have the officers chos- en from the floor In the usual way, which will be observed this year for the first time, by reason of a resigna- ton. Supreme Chief Washington M. A. Kenny of this city, head of the or der in the United States, and other su- preme circle officers from Philadelphia and points in New Jersey will attend the convention. Bridgeport is one of the strong holds of the order, which is fiourishing and experiencing great growth.
 At the termination of the afternoon session the delegates will go to Stee- plechase Island, where banquet will be served in the evening and the vis- iting delegates and officers entertained.
 M. A. Kenny, John J. Jordan and J. J. Gaffney have charge of the ar- arrangements. It is expected that Charles J. Guggenheim, John J. Jordan and Charles W. Mann, all of Bridge port, will be elected delegates to the circle convention which meets at Atlantic City, N. J., in October.
 On the evening of Monday August 20, the grand circle degrees, making eligible to that body about one hun 1red new members, will be conferred In amplified form in Bridgeport by the united circles. The candidates will come from all parts of the state and the degree will be worked elaborately.

SQUIRRELS DESTROY PEARS.


 truit growers in Willimantic have a new trouble to contend with this sum- mer. Lately a large number of pears have been found gnawed to pieces and TOT while it was thought to be the work of mischievous boys. Yesterday. says the Hartford Times, while a prominent farmer was in his orchard, he noticed several squirrels working diligently in one of his pear trees, and watching them, discovered that the squirrels were gnawing nto the pears to get the seeds, which they were stow ing away for the winter The farmer estimates that at least half bushel of pears Were destroyed in this manner. There is no statute which prohibits the shooting of red squirrels, but it lies in the power of the game commission CTS to place preserves on any place that they wish. It is doubtful that any such preserves have been made in this place
