800 Prosecutions
Necessary to Stop
Use of Saccharin

During the past six month, 1440
samples of non-alcoholic drinks were
purchased and analysed by the official
chemists of the Bureau of Foods,
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul
ture, and 1923 prosecutions instituted
where saccharin was used as sub
stitute for sugar.
Director Foust states that the spe-
cial agents in the field have been de-
voting practically all of their time
during the summer months to buying
samples of soft drinks and prosecut-
ing cases. Owing to the high price
and scarcity of sugar, the bottlers have
resorted to the use of saccharin in
many sections of the Commonwealth,
and the food and drink laws of Penn
sylvania specifically prohibit the use
of saccharin. 1t is a chemical and
has no food value, is $50 times sweeter
than sugar and is injurious to health
Director Foust further states that
the nefarious practice has been al
most broken up, but it took over 800
prosecutions and the criminal courts
staring the soft drink industry in the
face to bring it about

More Good
Horses Needed

The thing most needed in the pro-
duction of work horses for American
farms is greater care in the selection
of the stallion and the brood mare,
say animal husbandry experts of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture who have been studying the
present situation with respect to horses.
Not only was there a net decrease
of approximately $4,000 in the num-
Der of horses on farms on January
LIST, as compared with a year ago, pdt
the experts are of the opinion that
there has been an even more marekd
decrease in the number of mares breI
during 1919. The extent of this de.
crease can not be actually determined
until the colt crop of 1920 is estimated.
However, if the decline in breeding
is as great as conditions now indicate,
the country will be confronted with
a seriously depleted supply of good
horses within the next few years.
Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pro
vision for the future. Such policy is
short-sighted and will have serious re.
suits, according to Department Of
Agricultural representatives. The
present need is to increase the per
centage of efficient horses by careful
selection of parents. One of the prin-
cipal factors from which the marke.
is suffering is the breeding of too many
low-grade work animals. There is a
trong demand for high-class horses.
It good prices the department says.

Manager Acts as
Sleuth, Nabs
Alleged Thief

Philadelphia. Pa.-Acting on his
own account as detective, Hugh A.
MacMullen, general manager of the
Henry Hitner Sons Company, sue
ceeded in capturing an alleged thief
and in locating the stolen metal valued
at several hundred dollars.
1t required six hours of tireless
work before the prisoner, who gives
the name of Joseph Rycher, and says
he lives on Tilton street, was captured
in saloon in Port Richmond shortly
after. Rycher was held in $500 bail
for further hearing, and Stanislaus
Majewski of Richmond street, Brides
burg, was held in $500 bail for hear
ing, charged with receiving stolen
goods by Magistrate Wrigley at the
Twenty-fourth District Police Station
According TO the testimony Rycher
had been detailed as an extra watch
man at the Hitner plant, at Richmond
and Buckius streets, Bridesburg, dur
ing the past week and is said to have
placed several piles of copper and
brass outside the fence of the plant
where it could not be seen by anyone
passing by, but within easy reach
when he would return later
For sometime the Hitner firm has
been missing valuable metals from its
yard and appealed to the police to help
find it and discover the thieves. The
police arrested Majewski who was
found with heavy bundle containing
metal. He would not give a satisfac-
tory answer as to where he got it.
In the meantime Rycher is said to
have perfected his plans to get away
with the metal he had hidden. Some
time during the afternoon he brought
a wagon and carted the stolen goods
to a Junk dealer The regular watch
man saw the wagon pull away from
the far end OF the plant. He called to
the driver, who proved to be Rycher,
to stop AS the team went down
Richmond street, the Waterman got
in touch with MacMullen, who at once
got busy as a detective, with the re-
suit that Rycher was arrested later.
Majewski is said to have admitted
that the goods in his possession were
stolen, and identified Rycher as the
man who gave them to him to sell.

HOarded Wealth

wrought by some departed member
of that crew whose memory is revered,
is told by lamplight of night when
there is little to do and when the
pinochle or "sixty-six" tussel grows

and ability to serve and save has never
been questioned.

Many years ago there dwelt in this
vicinity some cautious person who
saved, but neglected to trust. Little
by little his hoard of gold and cur
rency grew Ali was entrusted to the
seat of an old chair. Then the saver
died-and with him-or her-the Sc
cret of the golden cache.
Early this year Captain John How
ard, who commands lighter 72 of the
Morgan Towing Company, bought an
old-fashioned chair at junk shop.
One dollar was the price. But the
chair was too old and finally it was
destined for the scrap heap.
"Give il to me-" said Captain Will
son, and the request was granted.
Days later, Captin Wilson began
repairing the chair. Ripping up the
seat he came across the hoard placed
there in the days of long ago

keep him in affluence for the remain
der OF his days. But he is honest and
he wants the owner to come.

At the South Pole

Everybody that has so much as
peeped into a geography knows that
there is q preponderance OF land in
the Northern Hemisphere and of sea
in the Southern. There has been
evolved an interesting theory to &C.
count for this fact. 1t Is affirmed that
the immense copuIa Of ice that ex-
lists around the south pole must affect
the center of gravity of the earth, and
consequently attract the ocean south.
ward. This is sometimes taken to ex-
plain the remarkable predominance of
continents pointing southwark.
The progressive increase of sea as
one goes southwark is so remarkably
regular that it can hardly be the re-
suit of accident Those who main
tain that this is due to the alteration
Of the center of gravity on the earth
contend that this alteration is proceed
ing constantly. Consequently, it is
affirmed 11,160 years ago, when the
Northern Hemisphere was at its
coolest, the northern glacier being
therefore at its maximum, and the
southern at its minimum, the prepon-
derence of water would have been in
the Northern Hemisphere, and the
submersion Of the lower lands of
Europe and America may have been
due to an alteration not in the level
of the land, but in that of the sea.
One authority has contended that
when the increasing ice counterbal-
ances the decreasing ice there is a
sudden transfer of the center of grav-
ity of the earth from one side of the
center of the solid part to the other,
and consequently rush Of water or
a deluge, alternatively from north to
south and from south to north, oc-
curing every 10,150 years.
According to the theory outlined
above the year 1248 was that in which
our Northern Hemisphere was it its
period of greatest heat, and the South
ern at that of greatest cold; and as
GIL years have since elapsed we might
expect to find some evidence of sub
sequent changes.
