Alum in Pickles

The matter of alum in pickles offered
for sale in the State of Maine was call
ed on Friday to the attention of A. NJ.
G. Soule chief of the bureau of inSpec-
ton, Maine department of agriculture,
through the question as to what had
been done in the request recently re-
Ceived for permission to sell pickles con-
tanning alum without SO marking the
packages He said:
Representatives of the Fl. ]. Heinz
Co. of PittSburg. Pa. some time ago
while on tour of the United States
called at this Office and requested per-
mission for that company to be allow
ed 10 sell pickles in Maine that contain
alum. without declaring its presence.
zone of the arguments advanced by
the Heinz peoples representatives in
favor az such change in our policy
was that a decision had recently been
reached by the United States pure food
authorities. permitting the use of alum
in food without declaring it. Ever since
the inception Of the pure food law in
this State. we have insisted that If alum

is used in pickles its presence must be
declared.
After carefully considering the prop
osition presented to US by Pennsylvania
people and after further investigating
by means of correspondence with many
food officials throughout the United
States. and in spite of the fact that the
federal government does allow such
procedure and number of states also
have adopted a plan similar to that or
the federal government, the Maine de-
partment on June notified the Heinz
Co., through Mr.. Dow. one Of the rep
resentatives referred to, as follows by
Chief Soue:
"'Having carefully reviewed the stu
alton and after making further inves-
legations, ! feel that it would not be
consistent to retreat from position we
have held so long and l therefore wish
to advise you that we will still insist
that when alum is used in food that its
presence must be declared
Mr.. Soule in the conversation which
followed the above announcement said
among other things:
Il don't know as we object so much
food. such as pickles, but unfortunate
ly We have some pickles manufacturers
in our own State that use more than a
little alum in their goods. Now one of
the little pickles, with but little bit
of alum. might not hurt anyone, but
you must know how often a child will
spend a penny for a great big pickle
and make therefrom a meal That
pickle may have a while before been an
old. fiabby. almost worthless and use
less object, but an alum bath and an
alum bed had rejuvenated 1t and 1t look
ed good to the child. See the point?
I'm that way harm might soon be work.
ed because. If the outside pickle man.
ufacturer is allowed to put the alum
treated goods on our market without
the alum being marked on the package,
others in the State may use any old
amount, with bad results for somebody's
stomach.
And also. while I do not feel that
any great amount Of danger would re-
suit from the use of alum in pickles,
do not feel that by allowing such an
adulterant to be used without it's pres
ence being declared would be to estab-
lish bad precedentand it would be ex-
ceedingy difficult to know where to
draw the line, other adulterants such
as benzoate of. soda and boracic acid,
are used in food"

Divisional Cataloguing for
State Library

State Librarian Henry E. Dunnack
is just now much interested and en-
gagged in working out a set Of divi-
sional catalogues for the State libra
ry. The point Is, catalogue Of Ii
brary the size Of this would be a cum
bersome affair and but few persons
would be able to avail themselves of
copy. The divisional system will
enable anyone interested in any de-
partment Of the library to secure a
catalogue for that division and ascer-
tain at a glance just what it contains
This work to date has been applied
to the State Library's law books, of
which it has a splendid collection.
This catalogue Is nearly done, and
when completed, will be placed in the
hands of every practising lawyer in the
State and should prove Of the great
est value to them, by giving them ac-
cess to reference works, or telling
them to seek elsewhere.
The Law Catalogue will be followed
by a similar one on the educational
books, for the use of teachers, stud
ents and others. Then will follow
other divisions of books, State His
tory. Genealogy, Literature, etc, until
the entire range Of the State Library
and it is wide one-is fully covered
It is intended to and undoubtedly will
bring the library into closer touch with
the people-especially those who are
not familiar with the advantages II
offers and those who have the i'm
preston that it is for few State Off
Gals, instead of being for the people
belonging as it does to the people.
1t will be published and circulated
by the State Library as part Of its
regular educational work. 1t should
prove splendid addition to the H.
brary's working equipment.

it would go to Mrs. Tetlow. But in
that assumption she was wrong.
s. 1t is also the opinion Of the court
that the evidence is not sufficient to
establish a gift causa mortis Of the
fund from Mrs. Kent to Mrs. Tetlow.
9. Accordingly it is the decision of
the court that the fund in question
does not belong to the appellant, but is
a part of the estate of Amanda M.
Kent and should be so accounted for.
10. A decree will therefore be made
ordering Ellen ]. Tetlow to inventory
and account for as a part Of the estate
of Amanda M. Kent the amount which
stood to the credit Of said Joint sur
vivorship account in said Providence
Institution Of Savings. Jan. Is, 1911,

the sum Of s61Ss.9o, together with In

les has been something wonderful and
the present increase OF the requests
for such is gratifying to the librarian,
who has worked hard to place these
collections Of books where they would
do good. The number now on hand
at the department is much less than
usual at this time Of year, with all
the additions constantly being made.
The total is now 264 libraries.
An extension of the service which
will be appreciated by all and doubly
so by many, is contemplated and let
tiers are being sent to the proprietors
or managers of every sporting camp
and summer hotel that can be found
in the State-and they are many.
Think of the many long hours of the
stormy days these books may while
away.
Another idea. The masters Of every
Grange in Maine are being informed by
letter that each is entitled to a trav-
cling library if it is desired. Many of
the Oranges for some time have
awaited themselves of this privilege,
but not all, hence this offer to them.
A letter was recently received by
the librarian from a teacher in the
public schools, asking if books suitable
for the work in secondary schools were
obtainable and she was promptly told
that if not. they soon would be and a
box will be made up and forwarded
to her.
Thus the travelling library work is
constantly spreading and growing. 1t
is one of the best moves ever made
by the library and is sure to increase
in all directions, as the people learn
Of its advantages and easiness of &C
quiring.

Deposit Limit of Our
Maine Savings Banks

When person has deposited $4,000
in savings bank Re has exhausted his
right to deposit in that bank in such a
way as to reserve any interest what
ever in the deposit, according to an
opinion rendered by Attorney General
w. r. Pattangall Of Augusta The
opinion was given at the request of
State Bank Commissioner Irving E.
Vernon, who propounded the following
question:
please refer to Section 10. Chapter
As of the Revised Statutes of Maine
and advise me, if under that section,
man has $4,000 on deposit in a saw
ings bank and in the same bank there
is an account standing in the name Of
the man and his wife. payable to
either or survivor, is it improper for
the bank to receive such second depos-
not directly, they are receiving from
one depositor more than the $4,000
mentioned in this section?
Attorney General Pattangall's reply
is is follows:
Replying to yours Of recent date,
the provisions of Section 10 Of Chap
ter As Of the Revised Statutes appear
to be plain and explicit. 1t certainly
could not be contended that a man
who deposited money in the name of
himself and wife payable to either or
the survivor had no indirect interest
in the deposit. In fact, 1 should say
that he had a direct interest.
In accordance with the provisions
OF this section when a person has de-
posted $4,000 in a savings bank he has
exhausted his right to deposit in that
bank in such way as to reserve any
interest whatever for himself in the
deposit"

seems that there will be many candi-

man should conduct his campaign in
an open-and-abo ve-board manner. Be
gentleman from the tap of the

you will have a right to expect and
demand the support OF your oppon-
ents when the final election rolls
around. Ii defeated take your med
icine like a man and retain the re-
spect of the voters by working for
the nominee. Defeat in the primary
is a mighty poor excuse for, boiling
in the final and the man who would
do such a thing with so little cause
deserves no consideration from his
party in the future. 1t is a blun
that should be called.
There is yet plenty of time for an

at later date. But when the fight
