WORK OF TRAIN wREcKERs.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
4 begun rigorous investigation into the
cause Of the accidents that have occurred on its
system in the western part OF Pennsylvania It
is believed that the mishaps have been due to the
operations Of gang of skful train wreckers.
Three accidents have happened in succession,
and the company can attribute their cause only
to enemies who have some grievance against the
company and who would imperil the lives of
hundreds of persons merely to satisfy their
grudges
1t IS evident that all the wrecks have been
brought about in the same manner, similar meth
DDS being employed The rails are tampered
with in the most expert manner and that makes
the trouble OF running down the miscreants all
the more difficult The evidence in one case was
that the track walker had stepped from the rails
but moment when train was deraed only a
short distance behind him. Train wrecking is
one Of the most dastardly of crimes, and should
the company succeed in discovering the gang
that has been damaging its property and causing
loss Of innocent lives, no punishment would be
too severe

USE FOOD LAW
TO DECEIVE

Action will soon be taken by the De-
partment of Agriculture to prevent
manufacturers Of and jobbers In food
products from advertising their wares
as guaranteed by the United States
government or as bearing the "official
Endorsement Of the government" under
the Pure Food law. w. d. Bigelow.
who was, in the absence of Dr. e. H..
Wiley. acting chief Of the Bureau Of
Chemistry. Department OF Agriculture,
said yesterday that such advertising is
fraudulent.
The Department Of Agriculture has
taken cognizance Of a number of ad-
vertisements in which It is stated that
the product advertised bears certain
number which is referred to as the
official Endorsement" by the govern
ment. As a matter Of fact, these num-
bers are simply index numbers to the
guarantee given by the manufacturers
and jobbers themselves to the gov
lernment that their goods are strictly
within the Pure Food act.
These guarantees were numbered by
the department as received. A depart
mental regulation provides that the
manufacturer shall place on every
package of goods sold the serial num-
her with the words Guaranteed under
1.-The Food and Drugs (Pure Food Act,
June 80, 1906" But this guarantee Is
simply that Of the manufacturer and
not of the government.
This guafahiee in accordance with
section nine Of the act' said Mr.. Bige-
/ low today. affords protection to the
person purchasing the product md the
person or firm giving the guaranty Is
lbv the law made amenable to the pro-
secutions. fines and other penalties
which are attached in due course to
the dealer under the provisions of this
act. The guaranty is given by the
manufacturer or dealer and the De-
partment Of Agriculture has no con-
nection with it, except that 1t places
the guaranty on file and assigns II q
number.
"The Department does not in ans
way guarantee or even suggest thai
the goods 20 covered by the guarantee
lof the manufacturer or jobber are II
accordance with the act. The claim
u that such goods have thee ndorsement
of the government is FRAUDULENT
AS result Of the trouble experienced
Or. Bigeow said that the practice o
using the numbers might be discon'
ltinued. several firms which have aa
vertised that their foods were guar
anteed by the government have replied
In answer 10 questions from the De
partment that this was the result o
an over Jealous advertising depart
ment. Others are still persisting II
the practice. and 1t is against then
that the Department proposes to TAX
action
II is possible that the postal law
may be invoked against those firm
which use the mails In advertising thei

IF you don't want to be decent for
yourself. be decent for others.
There is one woman who has faced
everything for your sake; one who
has had 70 bear the cross for your
foolishness You don't want your trail
through this world stained With your
mothers tears. The boy who turns q
brazen face to a mothers tears never
gets very far on the road to happiness
When he gets little older you find
his name on the police docket Of the
various cities: a little after the dark

Gulch,' the other is the head of Ke-
ami valley. Of the aforementioned, Miss
Josephine C. Locke, who is an un-
questionable authority, wrote some time
ago in the Paradise of the Pacific:
"The top of the gulch is yelled in
descending mists. Sharp laced catar-
acts limpid with images of the sky
break the wooded slopes, dashing and
leaping into the valley below In
the foreground is an exquisite bit of
work-the faintest hint of the rainbow;
the colors, without the definite form,
family limned on transparent mist. It
is the most elusive breath of atmes-
phere, caught and held by the brush
of the painter, so intangible it might
almost vanish under the glance. Of
the second Miss Locke has written:
1t "pictures the head of Keani valley,
a lovely glade, heaven protected by
forest buttresses from the crater of Ha-
leakala. Volumes of returning rain
pour necessarily OOWu, euClOSIH& cIlAS
that shelter the valley from the storms
and trade winds which beat on the
north side of the great mountain
Mr.. SCOTS work is characterized by
two apparently contradictory qualities
as is shown strongly in these two pic
lures; he paints the massiveness of
the mountains, their jagged peaks,
bleak precipices and steep slopes with
remarkable power and ruggedness, and
also pictures the transparent mists, the
cloud masses, not only the volume
and grayness of the rain, but its
majestic movement as well. 1t is rare,
indeed, to find both qualities manifest
in the same artist. The pictures which
will enrich the home of Mr.. Baldwin
in Maui, if exhibited at the Royal
Academy in London or the Metropoli-
tan Museum in New York, would at
tract wide attention, and the owner is
congratulated upon possessing works
of art of such beauty and of such
high intrinsic value.
