CASE OF MOTHERS FRIEND

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The U.
S. department of agriculture has
made public a bulletin telling of
the proceedings against a medicine
labeled Mothers Friend" made
and sold by the Bradfield Regula-
ton Co. of Atlanta, Ga.
In June, 1909, a government in
spector seized 81 cases of Mothers
Friend" in New Orleans. An analy-
sis showed that the medicine con-
sisted of an oil and small guam
tity of soap.
The label said that this mixture
would alleviate in a magical way
the sufferings incident to mother
hood.
The government charged that
the claims made for the medicine
on the label were false and mis-
leading. The Bradfield Regulator
Co. admitted the charge and did
not contest. Whereupon the medi-
cine was confiscated by the gov
eminent and the defendant was
assessed the costs.

Bedding, June "A certified check for s1,141 was rendered to the select men last Saturday by Town Treasurer w. H. Hill in payment of the tax money shortage of over two years ago. On the presentation of the check the board suggested to MT. Hill that the amount should include interest. To this the treasurer replied that if pay ment of interest was insisted upon he would pay and there the matter rests for the time being. On the record of tax money transactions between form CT Collector Gorham and the treasurer as it appears on the eX-Collector's rate books there is also due the town the further sum of about $400. For the present however, MT. Hill declines, to acknowledge this indebtedness, ad- vancing the claim that his books do not show the payment to him of the s4OO and he is therefore warranted in assuming that the rate book credits to Mr. Gorham, are erroneous to some degree If this is so MT. Hill made the mistake or they were changed sub sequent to his entry of the figures and such changes must have been made either by MT.

For this reason. it is un- derstood, there were no bidders for the contract to dispose of the garbage under the plan of feeding it to pigs. There would be difficulties about dis posing of the garbage by hauling it beyond the city limits, the more espe- cially as the contract with John D.

 Chicago, June 2.-"All the prize fights are fakes I don't want to have any thing to do with them or with any body who has any interest in them ''
 Governor J. N. Gillett, of Califor- mia, thus expressed his opinion of ring contests today to the United Press, when questioned about an interview in which he had declared the Jeffries- Johnson fight is "fame-up." Gov ernor Gillett denominated fistic en- counters for prize money as hippo dromes to fool the fools''
 He also criticised the American pub- lie for taking more interest in prize fights than in National questions"
 The Governor said he would gladly stop the coming battle for the world S championship if he could but that "all sorts of frauds are allowed and nobody has the power to stop them'
 Some times a mans public views don't agree with his private attitude. Now that my private views have be- come public I don't care a continental know what I think. I think every prize fight is fake. The Jeffries- Johnson fight is simply a scheme to make a lot of money out of the cred ulity of the people.
 Anybody with the least sense knows the whites of the country won't al- low Johnson or any other negro to win the worlds. championship from Jeffries They simply won't stand for it. Johnson knows that. He is no fool He knows that to win that fight he would have to whip every white man at the ringside. So he has agreed to lay down for the money.
