The ride was over the excellent
country road where all Nature was
at her best. The wild flowers bloom
ed by the roadside, the birds sang
merrily, and the auto whirled the
miles rapidly away and in a short
time the summer home of Gov
Mayor Wing gave the welcome of
Wayne to the guests, the Governor
spoke for the State, while Sam gave
the greeting of dear old friend.
And then the democratic instincts
of the Governor cropped out. Hat,
coat and vest were thrown aside,
and seated in the big arm chair on
the lawn with his dog, Fritz, in his
lap, an hour of delightful conversation
was enjoyed.
A big man is Governor Brumbaugh
in more ways than one. Standing
six feet two, broad shouldered and
muscular, he is a picture of physical
strength and endurance. The mas
sive head and square, strong jaw
speaks easily the character of the
man. The thinker, the orator and
the man of action can all be seen by
one who is an adept in character
reading. Mrs. Brumbaugh is also a
woman of marked abilities, and we'll

ton. 1t was a sort of family gath

MY coming to Maine was a for

and where she still passes her sum-

What I especially admire inc

ment that would absolve everybody
concerned except the Legislature.
Such an official statement was is
sued. 1t read as follows:
Board of Health.
State of New Jersey.
The State Board of Health has
done as much as il could with the
appropriation at its disposal and with
the law under which it is compelled
to work. Unfortunately the food law
in this State is defective in many re-
spects and hampers us considerably
because of its indefiniteness. and in
some instances its weakness. This
applies particularly to the use of such
preservatives as anhydrous sodium
sulphite and compounds of sulphur
our acid generally. 1t also applies to
alum, benzoate of soda and other
chemicals which are used as preser-
vatiVes for the purpose of preventing
decomposition in foodstuffs. Person
ally 1 am opposed to the use of So
dunn sulphite or sulphites in food
stuffS, because l believe that there is
no necessity for the use of substances
of this character in food, and there
is some evidence to show that these
substances may be injurious to health.
Until the Legislature sees fit to enact
laws specifically prohibiting the use
of such preServatives it VIII not be
possible for the State Board of Health
to end this abuse.
"R. B. FITZ-RANDOLPH,
Chief of Division of Food and
Drugs,
WILLIAM G. TICE,
Chief Chemist"
The day on which this official state
ment was published witnessed the con-
viction in New York City of A. S.. a
butcher doing business on East One
Hundred and Tewtnty-first street. who
was fined S25 in the Court of Special
Sessions for treating chopped meat
with preservaline.
The Health Department of New
York city testified as follows:
"Preservaline makes the meat look
a bright red, but it is injurious to the
digestive apparatus. Three-tenths of
l per cent. were found in the meat
seized in this case"
The defendant pleaded guilty but
asked clemency on the ground that the
pfeSerNallne was found only in that
neat and in no other meat in his store
One of the New Jersey butchers eX-
planned that he used preservaline only
on the inferior and cheaper cuts. In
other words, he poisoned only the
poor.
When the local health authorities in
all parts of the United States are made
to realize that from Brooklyn alone
tons of anhydrous sodium sulphite are
being shipped regularly to wholesale
butchers supply houses in all part of
the country they will doubtlessly see
the necessity of making a survey of
the shops under their jurisdiction.
In Boston the stuff is used openly.
Butchers are required to stick a label
on the platter in which their sui
phite hamburger is displayed, declar-
ing the presence of one-tenth of 1 per
cent. of the chemical
In New York city the use of anhy-
drous sodium sulphite is strictly prohi-
bited. In other communities the abuse
is winked at
The State of New jersey, in spite of
the disclosures recorded here, is now
reeking with the drug.

Mr.. Brumbaugh makes himself
one of the people and enters into all
their social life. He is a member of
the Androscoggin Club and helped
to build their house. He is a great
baseball fan and a director in the
local team as well as one of it's most
enthusiastic rooters. When commits
sioner of education in Porto Rico he
was president of the baseball league
and all this shows that he has got
red blood.

gigantic in it's scope, high in its ideals
and complete in its service.
The milk produced by the most
modern, most sanitary dairies of Cen
tral Pennsylvania are the ones that
contribute to the output of the Penn
sylvania Milk Products Company. The
pasteurized milk delivered direct to the
homes daily is, just this same pure,
wholesome milk, but with the bacilli
eliminated by a slightly higher temper

Democratic Nominee For Governor Will Return to Little Rock Before Election to Meet Senators and
 Representatives.
Little Rock.

Dr. c. H. Breugh, Democratic noml- nee for governor, will return to Little Rock from the national campaign where he is now engaged in filling speaking appointments a couple of days before the election and make Lit tie Rock his headquarters until the meeting of the legislature in January. His object in remaining in Little Rock is to meet the senators and represen- tatives to discuss legislative measures and it is not believed that he will meet with much opposition from that source.
 Senator W. c. Adamson stated that he has talked with a number of sena- tors recently, and all express them selves as being anxious to have an understanding with Governor-elect Brough, in order that there may be no friction when the legislature con- Nenes. Senator Adamson said that all the senators he talked with were in favor of giving the governor elect full reign when it came to passing upon uCoouiVS taiC 6oftiioi do'CSeAeNN 4At his campaign for nomination. It is known that the House is practically solid for the incoming administration, but it was thought some time ago that the goyernor-elect would meet with number of obstacles from cer- tain sources in the Senate. These ob- stacles are being rapidly removed. and it is now the general opinion that Dr. Brough will have but little trouble in getting the legislature to pass bills advocated by the administration. It was also thought some time ago that Dr. Brougn would take hand in or ganizing the legislature, thereby bringing on opposition from forces that he would antagonize. This feel ing has been entirely removd be- cause the governor-elct has notified his friends in the legislature that he did not propose to fight anybody for the various legislative positions.
 Senator Davenport of Searcy, who seems to be in the lead for the Senate presidency, has openly declared his intentions of supporting the incoming administration M B. Norfieet of For rest City, Burt Brooks of Pulaski, Lee Cazort of C,arksville and Jo Johnson of Fort Smith, candidates for the speakership, are also friendly to Dr. Brough, and will throw no obstacles in his way to prevent him from car rying out his policies. MT. Norfleet was in Little Rock meeting old friends and made his position clear on that subject. He has the support of num- her of friends of Dr. Brough in the legislature, who are doing everything in their power to secure his election as presiding officer of the House.
