~ do not think two and half times
the first-class freight rate is enough
for the service we give" replied Mr..
Bradley. "All in all, our rates the
country over are approximately three
times the first-class freight rate"
Mr.. Bradley said that in his opinion
a flat express rate would be too high
for short distances and too low for
long distances.

from membership in the bar associa-

Wickersham to the defense Of his as

In spirited letter sent to each of
the A, 700 members of the association,
the attorney general charges the exc

of power unwarranted by the body's
constitution, Sin order to crafty a

its members"
The attorney general points out that
Lewis was elected after he had been
nominated regularly and invited to
join by the secretary of the associa-

"The object of the association, the
attorney general continues, is stated
in the constitution to be advance the
science of Jurisprudence, promote the
administration of justice, uphold the

encourage cordial intercourse among

Sand, Salt, Alum and Glucose Among
Adulterants Used

AOutterdntS OSeO
New Haven, Conn.-Even the food
chemists at the Connecticut Agricul-
tural station are surprised by the
result of a series of tests they have
just completed, which show that of
722 samples of food, drink and drugs
analysed, 232, or nearly one-third,
were adulterated below standard or
misbranded. The wooden nutmeg was
not in evidence, but other things
were, for example:
OF 29O samples of milk, were
SKINNED, 81 watered, and 8 both
SKINNED and watered.
Of 46 samples of summer drinks, 10
contained benzoaic acid, 2 coal tar
dyes, 20 saccharine, and 8 artificial
colorings.
Only out of q "cider vinegar"
samples were genuine. The rest were
made of distilled vinegar, boiled cider,
apple waste and dried apples.
Sand was found in chocolate.
Root beer was commonly sweetened
with glucose.
Every sample of table relish except
two had alum in it.
