G. Bailey. Per Curiam.
IN this action the plaintiff sought to
recover the value of a carload of cot
ton seed meal alleged to have been
sold to the defendant retail dealer
at Silver's Mills in the Town of Dex-
ter, Me. The jury returned a verdict
for the defendant, and the case comes
to this court on a motion to set aside
as against the evidence
The plaintiffs contention is that in
July, 1910, it sold to the defendant four
carloads OF cotton seed meal, viz: two
carloads on July Z. one for October
shipment, and one for December ship
ment. and two carloads on July botn
for November shipment; and 5t is
claimed that the payments made by
the defendant were for one of the car
loads sold July I for October shipment
ard for one of those sold July for
November shipment. \ third carload
WAS forwarded to the defendant Janu-
Any 10. 1911, and Immediately after
the iaVoice of the third shipment was
received by the defendant he wrote
a letter to the plaintiff. stating that
he had purchased only two carloads of
cotton-seed meal and having already
received those he refused to accept the
third shipment. The plaintiff replied.

amounted with the accrued dividends
to $1S70.98. on February 5, 1904, the
widow deposited to the credit of this

life insurance policy on her husband.
On January 16 1907, the deposit then
amounted to $4S7S.46 was transferred
by the widow to The Bath Savings In

eral years prior te the opening of the
account i'll the Gardiner Savings In

thereafter until his death, employed in
a lumber mill at wages Of So per day,
with usually a gift at the end of each

the deposits prior to his death consist
ed of his earnings and their joint
earnings.

tice, who found for the plaintiff in the
sum of $2i00.46. with interest from date

In an action brought by the admins
traitor of the estate of the husband,
Fred E. Savage, against the admins
traitor of the estate of the wife, Nellie
A. Savage, to recover the amount of a
savings bank deposit, it appears from
the agreed statement that the wife
deposited $3.50 on April II, 1898, in the
Gardiner Savings Institution in the
name of her husband. Erred r. Saw
age and that all or nearly all the
subsequent deposits were made by her;
that Withdrawals of $45 and $25 were
made by the husband on June 2S, 1893,
and July Is, 1896, respectively and one
of $50 was made by the wife upon the
order of the husband on July 10, 1898;
that ne other Withdrawals We're made
during the lifetime of the husband;
that on or about July /, 1901, when the
aggregate deposits amounted to about
$1400, the title of the account was
changed by one of the officers of the in
stituticn. presumably by direction of
the husband, on the ledger and on the
deposit book by inserting the neces
sary words so as to read Nellie A.
Savage and Fred A. Savage may be
drawn by either in any event" After
that change and until the death of
most or all of the time in their joint
possession, each having access to it.

tho wife took the whole deposit, cam
not be sustained.
g. That the. more natural and rea-
sonablc Inference to be drawn from the
transaction is that the husband in
tended one of two things, either to
constitute the wife his agent in order
that the deposit could be drawn more
conveniently; or to make a gift to take
effect ut his death, that is, testemen-
tary disposition which was void under
the statute Of wills.
4. That the defendant has not pro-
duced evidence sufficient to divest Fred
E. Savage of the title to the deposit at
the time of his decease. and that the
plaintiff as the administrator of his es-
tate is entitled to the amount found by
the presiding justice.

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN
Centuries Ago Tradesmen Who Adul.
terated Goods Were Most Severe
ly Punished.

Pure food laws are not quite 80
modern an invention as we may be-
lieve. DR.. Reisner has made discov.
cries In Palestine that seem to in
dicate some sort of supervision Of the
food supplies delivered to the palace
nearly 5000 years ago. Labels have
been found that were once affixed to
"a jar Of pure olive OIL" We may
wonder what tests were employed and
what would happen to the man whose
oil was found to be not pure. Prob.
ably something unpleasant, for there
was no Supreme court in those days.
We know what happened in the mid.
die ages to the enterprislng tradesman
who adulterated his goods. In 1444
Nuremberg merchant was burned
alive for mating foreign material with
his saffron end the saffron itself was
used for fuel. Probably that artistic
touch impressed tho matter upon his
memory.
Some Augsburg bakers who used
false weights ard bad -four were
ducked in muddy pool. and through
a faulty knowledge OF the human re.
spiratory system. or sheer careless.
ness, they came to the surface dead.
In 1852 wine merchant was or.
dered to drink six quarts Of his own
adulterated wine. and as he died soon
after 1t Is evident that the adultera-
tion must have been serious. It IL
true that he had to finish the draft in
a given number Of minutes, and Q
small number at that, but In those
days they had pleasant way Of

dice upon the side Of Justice.
