FROM THE
STATE CAPITAL
Information and Gossip at
Harrisburg.

Medical men of the State were ac-
cused of not taking proper interest
in the investigation of adulterants
used in preparing foods by DR.. Il. M.
Gram, Philadelphia, in an address at
the recent session of the Homeopathic
Medical Convention at Bedford
Springs. DR.. Gram charged that doc
tors failed to warn their patients
against price or appearance guiding
them in their selections. His paper
created considerable discussion.
DR.. Gram said;
"As medical men we can subscribe
to the statement that the taking into
the system OF a chemical preseryatiye
is bound to produce symptoms, also
that the use OF chemical preservatiyes
is bound TO produce organic changes.
II is a positive fact from which there
is no ascape, that there Is hardly an
article that is used for food which Is
not adulterated In some way IN Its
process OF manufacturing.
Newspapers were lauded as inter
ested and courageous exponents of a
square deal for the people in the mat
ter OF protection from adulteration OF
foods In all Its phases.
At the annual banquet at night, DR..
W. w. Speakman. Philadelphia, acted

Educators and Parents.
English Youths Do Not Know How to
Bow, Shake Hands, Converse,
Stand or Sit in Presence
Of Their Superiors.

London.-How Is II that some Eng.
lish public school boys lack the pol
.shed manner OF continental and
American boys?
No less a person than the king him
self has observed this unfortunate
fact, as the Bishop OF Worcester point
ed out at a speech day celebration In
Worcestershire.
The bishop gave an account OF a
conversation he had with the king
when Duke OF York.
Why" inquired the king. do you
not ask that at public schools man
ners should be taught?"
The foreigners know when to bow.
how to shake hands, to converse. to
stand up or sit down In the presence
OF their superiors, while the English
man is wanting in these manners.
When vacancies have to be filled those
are the points which very often tell,
and that is where the Englishman does
not shine"
Train loans OF school boys were
pouring into London the other day
from various parts OF England, and an
observer made special note OF their
demeanor when they met relatives
and friends.
At Victoria station brighton line)

time to time with homecoming school
boys, who appeared TO be very EN-
barrassed when they met loving aunts

we're as follows:

deeply and fumbled with his hat. Ap'

Victoria said.
"The politeness OF the French youtl
is sometimes embarrassing, he said
"He is invariably courteous and con
siderate.
American boys. even II their man
ners might be improved, are YER
precocious travellers. and never at an
moment do they lose their heads"
A defense OF the British schoolbo
was obtained from the secretary O
the B. p. Boy Scouts association.
English youths may have obtaine
their reputation for indifferent mar
ners and awkwardness simply becaus
they are naturally shy and retiring.
he said
"As soon as boy begins to thin
for himself and realizes that manner
maketh man. his roughness passes o
and he becomes a sociable human b.
ing. There is no finer training for tn
shy. awkward boy than to join th
scouts"
