State dairy and food agents got
into some new lines of activity last
month, according to the report of the
commissioner for July, among the
arrests made being one for the sale
of gelatin which was declared to
contain sulphurous acid. This pro-
duct was taken to a chemist and
analyzed and it is expected that
more arrests along the same line
will take place. The agents also ar
rested a number of men for the sale
of oranges and apples which were
displayed on stands and which were
found half rotten and arrested one
dealer in canned tomatoes because
the can contained two-thirds water.
In one case man advertised sweet

Counties in every part of the
State will be interested to the extent |
of thousands of dollars annually in
the appeal taken to the Supreme |
Court from the judgment of the |
Dauphin County Court by the Com |
monwealth and Lycoming and |
counties in what is
known as the criminal insane main
tenance case. The matter is especi-
ally interesting in view of the fact |
that the new State institution for |
the criminal insane in Wayne coun- |
ty is about to relieve many of the |
State hospitals of such charges. |
The State hospital authorities at
Danville sent bills to the counties for |
the same per capita charge for main
-, lf n1 Ind in
sane, but the counties held that |
criminal insane were not always in
digent and that a distinction must |
be made. For over two years the |
was waged and the court |
recently held that the counties were
liable for criminal on the same plane |
as INDECENT. AS large sums of
money are involved, an appeal was
taken and the decision of the ap-
pellate court win have far-reaching
effect.

letic features of the day. Other
games will be played by the female

be held for them, too. The company !

great success. If the initial picnic |
proves satisfactory, others will be
held each year. Every person who
