ter contains other suggestions than
that of simply the approval of bills
by the board of trustees. For in
stance, the monthly interchange of
cost sheets among the institutions
While this matter has not become as
sured as the approval-of-b bills matter,
it will undoubtedly be adopted. The
benefit of this sort of interchange will
be explained in the letter from the
State auditor to DR.. Gordon, part of
which says:
Interchange of cost sheets between
the three institutions can be arranged
by your board. They should include
all prices of merchandise, daily sup
plies and expense. OF course too much
cannot be expected at first on this in
terchange, but in little while the
benefit will be seen and the scope en-
arged."
The matter of contracts with the Of
ficers on the matter of salary. as sug-
gested in the above letter will also
probably be adopted.
These suggestions, when carried out
will rejuvenate the former system of
accounting in these institutions. The
matter arose at the last Legislature
through the unexpected visit to the
Augusta institution, one night, by
Senator Cole who on the next day
carried the fight on the floor of the

REPAIR STATE HOSPITAL.
Bangor Alterations, Provided for by
Legislature, Now in Progress.

Bangor, Me, July 1.-THE expendi-
ture of the State appropriation for
number of repairs and alterations at
the Bangor State hospital in this city
has commenced. Carpenters are at
work in Wards "C'' 1 and e. 1 tear
ing out the old doors throughout, and
replacing them with new ones. The
door frames are being reset and the
two wards will be thoroughly repaint
ed, and it is the intention of Supt.
Hills to use these two wards for sick
patients as infirmary wards.
In connection with the stewards de-
partment an interesting experiment in
canning is to be tried at the hospital
this year. A small canning plant has
been installed III the basement of
Building 'B"~-and corn, peas, beans,
tomatoes, etc, will be canned for win
ter use. Heretofore, the farm has
been made to produce, particularly in
the case of corn, just enough for ta-
BILE use in season, but now enough
will be raised to furnish a supply for
canning. 1t WAS with this end in view
that the amount of these vegetables
in the gardens was increased, this
year. The crops at the hospital farm
are looking excellent, and promise u
good yield.
The experiment in canning will be
watched with interest by the execu-
tives of the Augusta hospital, and
there is little question of its success.
1t is expected that considerable mon
ey can be saved in this manner. Each
year fruits, preserves, pickles have
been put down in the kitchens, but 1t
has been done in glass, in far less
convenient form at greater cost
than under the new method.

Will be one of the most priced addi-

This nest is built 500 feet from the
ground in a small cavern in a sheer
lift among the hills. 1t is charac-
eristic of the Golden Eagles to select
homes well nigh impossible for man or
beasts to reach and the maner of OBJ
aiming this particular nest will be to
ct man down over the edge of the
lift and carefully lower away until
lie reaches the spot in the face of the
cock. Then it will be up to him to

Curator Thomas l.. James of the

armed to kill the parent birds, both of
which, it is hoped, will be secured.
They, with the caglets. will be stuffed
and set up for ornithologists to study
at the State House.
Golden Eagles are Western birds

a battle in mdair between the big
birds and the invader who will carry
a revolver on his descent into danger
to repel the attack.

Few people realize the close connec-

ing but corn starch converted into

If it is desired to convert corn starch
into glucose (pure corn syrup, smal
percentage of acid is added to the
liquid starch. The acid Immediately
converts the corn starch into glucose
To neutralize the acid, soda ash is
used and the liquid starch is cooked
This soda ash converts the acid into
common table salt.
Very careful test is made after the
starch has Been cooked, to ascertain
that not a trace of acid remains. The
hot liquid is then filtered thrice

after the desired gravity has been OBJ
tanned, the liquid is carried through

product, a wholesome article of food
which is recommended as such by the
