died before he could be taken to
the Harrisburg Hospital to-day. He
was 5S years old.
Blessing, a railroad car repairman,
had driven a horse and wagon from
an alleyway in the path of the ap-
preaching car. Mr.. Blessing was
thrown from the wagon, his skull
being fractured and two bones
broken in his right forearm. The
wagon was badly broken but the
horse escaped without injury.

gushing feature of wine and I do
not see what right a man has to
sell q thing as wine when it does not
contain alcohol. There are near
beers sold which are not classed as
beer and l have asked the Attorney
General about it," said Mr.. Foust.
From reports on analyses of cherry,
blackberry and other brandies /
have received they do not contain
any alcohol at all. but they keep the
name brandy, just like these other
people are keeping the name wine.
If they are not vinous or fruit Ii
quors or wines they should not be
called that"
Director Foust is also asking what
to do about flavoring extracts,
notably vanilla and lemon which
have been made with alcohol as
body. He holds that they will have
to get a process that does not con-
tain alcohol or there will be trouble
for them.

unproven field, but in a proven field
he is limited to one section, or Gao
acres"
This is both too much and not

gamblers will enter such a field and
put down a we'll and they figure on

Under the new provisions the gov
