here yesterday the NJ. X. & T. now
completing the Union depot here,

all the wiring and connections will
be in ungerground conduits.
When the lamp standards are up
and connected the platform on both
the Frisco and Katy sides will be paw
ed with brick, the full length of the
platform.
Every little nook and corner OF
available space will be utilized for
flower beds, fountains and other
forms of Identification and no pains
will be spared to make the station
and grounds among the most attrac-
i've along the line.
The station will probably be COM
pleted about June 18th OF July at the
latest.

When you ask for a can OF condens
ed milk at grocery store, what do
you think you ought 10 get?
That question has probably never
worried you, but it has worried the
Bureau Ct Chemistry for long time
That organization is entrusted with the
enforcement Of the pure food and drug
law which is designed to prevent the
misbranding and odulterating Of all
sorts Of food products.
Now strictly defined, condensed
milk would mean any milk from which
part Of the water had been removed
if that part we're only one tenth per
cent. But il your grocer sells for ten
cents tiny can Of milk which is only
a little more condensed than fresh milk
he is cheating you. Yet if the govern
ment wants to prosecute him it mus
prove that the milk he sJli vas wrong
