DEPARTMENT CAUTIONS
 DEALERS IN ORANGES

Washington. July 2O. The Depart ment of Agriculture has discovered that certain oranges are being shipped under false descriptions in the bills of lading or invoices as to their vari- ety., The Department has examined some of these shipments and has found that while these oranges are being sold. to consignees as being a better variety than they are, the ac- tual boxes of oranges are either not labelled at all or are not labelled in accordance with the variety mentioned in the records of sale. Some of these oranges are represented, for example, as being Valencias, and examination shows them to be another variety.
 The matter is being carefully inves- tigated with view to determining the rights Of the Department under the Food and Drugs Act to take action against such shipments. In the mean time, jobbers and others are advised to examine oranges packed in boxes either unlabeIled or without any dis | tinctive varietal designation, in order to satisfy themselves whether these oranges are as represented by the pro- ducer or shipper.
 Similarly, retail purchasers who are in the habit of buying oranges accord ing to variety should assure them selves that theforanges are as repre- sented by the dealer.

oHEsTNUTs NOT TO BLAME.
Scientists Prove That BHghted Trees
 Are Not Poisonous.

In October, 1913, a large number of newspapers contained reports that chestnuts collected from trees affected with the blight had poisonous proper ties and were producing cases of dis ease and death. These cases were reported from the vicinity of Hart ford, Conn, from both Western and Eastern Massachusetts, and one case each from New Hampshire and New Jersey. One news item was to the ef- feet that in Birmingham, Westboro, and the surrounding towns of Eastern Massachusetts there was an epidemic resulting from eating thesA chestnuts A report from Western Massachusetts stated that gray squirrels were dying, presumably from eating chestnuts from these b1ighted trees.
 Several scientists conn ected with the Department of Agriculture were de- tailed to make an examination of the cases reported from Hartford and vi cinity. Their report appears in asre- cent issue of The Journal of the Am erican Medical Association.
 Careful invesl gation and a long se- ries of laboratory experiments on an inlals have proven concIusive1y that nuts from bHghted trees do not con- tain any more deleterious properties than those from healthy trees and the symptoms which had been sup posed to be connected with blighted chestnuts could in almost all cases be explained as symptoms which would be produced by healthy chestnuts in some persons. Laboratory experf- mets in feeding the whole fruit, in the use of extracts and in chemical ex- aminations failed to show any pois- onous properties in the nuts.
 While, the results of she investiga- lions were negative, it is believed that the study was sufficiently thorough and comprehensive to show that there ie J%1-. experience of the physicians or in the results of laboratory tests, to think that nuts from trees affected with the chestnut blight disease are any more | injurious than those from healthy l trees.

formerly known as the old Sherman turnpike Now the discrepancy be- tween this description by designation and what would have been an a'bso- lutely accurate description was promptly aseized upon and exploited by MT. Cable. T contend, said he in substance s'tf1at MT. Chambers west erIy line is the easter1y line of the old turnpike which is 40 feet more or less to the eastward of the present corresponding boundary of the pres ent highway. This strip is now a part of the ponds bottom and comprises the property upon which my client is alleged to have trespassed. Plainly MT. Chambers doesn't own it and therefore suffered no trespass griev- ance from Krohe."
 Despite the attorneys protest the court ruled that the designation in the deed meant the east line of the present highway. 'TVery we'll" de- clared NIr Cable after consid erable further evidence had been heard, TT still maintain that MT. Chambers haB no good title to the strip in question. His title is from the Old Put club and they could not convey what they did not own. They submerged a part oe a $pubBe highway which had been abandoned but never legally dtscon- tinued. It is still legally part of a. public highway although under water
  defendant committed no traspass against MT. Chamb ers.''
 To this MT. Shaw responded by shifting to new ground. If the Old Put sclub,'' said he, "acquired title to, this strip in no other way they ac- quired 1t through adverse possession, having been in continuous and, undis- puted possession of the property for more than fifteen years. The title thus acquired they could transfer to MT. Chambers and it would be a per fectly valid title.'
 "But,' interpcsed the justice, '.ad- verse possession does not run against a public highway or other property belonging to the Slater"
 The attorney acquiesced in this, but said 1t was not. known whether the old turnpike ever became a State highway. If it rem aimed the property of a. private corporation MT. Cham bers undoubtedly owned it through a valid title based on adverse posses sion. All the turnpike roads in the State were supposed to have passed from private to public ownership some thirty years ago. The Sherman turnpike might have somehow es- capped the general taking over He did not know.
 The court found Krohe not guilty 1 op the ground that he should receive the benefit of the doubt raised in re- gard to the ownership of the property he was accused of trespassins upon. The costs in the case, amounting to about $20, will be paid by MT. Cham oers. Otherwise they would fall upon | the town. The outcome of the case | in no wise lessens the willingness of the Bedding Protective Lea gue to back up financially and otherwise prosecutions against those who per- I sist in trespassinE upon posted lands.

BABY IN RASH OVER
 HEAD AND BODY
Took Out All His Hair. Itched and Burned So Gould Not Sleep. Used Cuticura Soap and 0int- ment. Eruption Healed.

Sherman Naine.4'' When my baby boy was about three weeks old he broke out with a rash all over his head and body which took out all his hair and itched and burned so bad he could not sleep. It came in the form of, water blisters and when he would scratch them they would make wet erup- tions which continued to grow worse until they were all over his head and body. His clothes would chafe them that I would have to keep him bandaged-
 ''I tried many different kinds of soap and remedies but it continued to grow worse until obtained a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cutictra Ointment. I washed him with the Cuticura Soap. and then ap- piled the Cuticura Ointment I could see that it helped him from the very first. The sore places had taken his hair all out but by the time had used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment three weeks the eruptions were all healed and his skin is as clear and smooth as ever. He now has a fine head of hair and there has never been any sign of the trouble since" (Signed) Mrs John Collins Feb. 19, 1914.
