BoTTLING ESTABLISHMENTS
 MENACE PUBLIC HEALTH

T consider the present conditions in bottling establishments menace to the public health, and before another summer some existing state department should be given power, to effectively control the operations of bottling establishments" Dairy and Food Commissioner Thomas Holt says in his biennial report submitted to Governor Lake, relative to the effect of prohibition on the manufacture of soft drinks. Says Commissioner Holt:
 With the passage of the prohi- bition amendment to the federal con stitution, there has been a tremen- dous increase in the sale of so-called soft drinks. Plants large and small (mostiy the latter) have sprung up Gas if by magic) over night, and most of the owners entirely united by experience or equipment, for the purpose of preparing drink for human consumption.
 "One hundred and eighty-eight in spections were made of soft drink eS- tablishments, and 40 reinspections; 266 samples were taken and analysis showed that seventy three contained saccharin.
 -The use of saccharin in normal foods is absolutely prohibited under Connecticut regulations. Those guilty of first offense were given n warn ing, but in the case of second of- fences their cases have been Ipresent- ed to the prosecuting officers.
 The state pharmacy commission requested our department to procure prescriptions at five places. Three ol ! these were found to be adulterated one of which was so much below the required strength that the druggis was prosecuted and convicted . in thu Hartford police court. and his license revoked by the state pharmacy com. mission"

Prices closed heavy at l. 1-4 to 2 1-2c net lower, with March $1.6e 1-2 and May 1.57 1-2 to 1.57 .3-4. Corn lost 1-2 @5-S to 7-se, and oats 3-S 70 1-2 to S-4@7-S. In. provisions the out come was unchanged to 10e lower.
 Despite temporary bulges due to revi- val of talk about crop damage by green bugs and reports of some new export bus mess. the market displayed no sustained buying power, and there was active sell ing pressure from some of the recent best buyers, Confidence on the part of bulls seemed to be especially impaired by the evident prospect of wage difficulties on a large scale. Lowest prices of the day
 however, came only after announcement that another of the largest railway sys- tens in the country had taken, decisive steps toward a downward revision of wages affecting all classes of employees No important rally ensued, and the mar ket closed at practically the bottom fig. ures of the day.

WHEN AN ATOM IS BORN
Regarded as Important as Advent
 of a World,

The birth of an atom is just as inn portant an event as the birth of a world, if not more so, for everything in the universe is composed of atoms, even the worlds themselves. Not long ago, atoms were thougt to z be i'm
 mutable and unchanging, but the amazing truth has just been disclosed
 that new atoms are born every minute, just as among the faraway stars new worlds are being born.
 Already certain kinds of atoms can be produced in the laboratory, and such a business would become immensely popular if gold7 and silver could be l created in the same way. This is not an idle dream, as might be though, for already it has been discovered that all atoms are composed of the same kind
 of material-positivel3 electrified par- | ticles and minute negative electric i charges. All that remains is to learn how=to put these quantities together in 1 the proper amounts, and atoms will be | produced synthetically, just as chem l ists now put the proper atoms together | and produce-though ofttimes under uncommereial conditions - synthetic l rubber, silk, steel, artificial dyes and
 the many other miracles of the labora- I tory.
 l To understand how certain atoms
 have already been produced in the laboratory, it is necessary to remember
 that there are about ninety different
 kinds of atoms, corresponding to the i elements of which all other substances
 are made, and that all atoms contain
 equal amounts of positive and negative
 electricity Just as solar systems con
 sist of planets revolving about a cen l tral sun and. are held together by the force of gravitation, so do atoms con-
 sist of negative electrical charges, re- yolVing around a central, positively
 charged nucleus, held together by tht forces of electrical attractfon.-Edin- burgh Review. ..

America's Diseoverers Came From
 Icaiand,

The island is approximately 200 miles wide and 200 miles lonG, but hardly habitation can be found more than 40 miles from salt water. There are no railroads and few carriage roads. The inhabitants depend almost entirely on water transportation along the coast and and in the many fiords.
 Iceland can be considered the half way-station between Europe ana America. Nearly 700 years before Columbus sailed to the West Indies through the warm south Atlantic in his relatively large, decked ships, dar- ing Scandinavian sea rovers in their open boats passed from Norway to Iceland and from there to the coasts of Maine and Rhode Island.
 Though Icelanders, faced by im- placable natural forces and conditions, have been unable to achieve any great degree of physical development on thir lavn- -coverd. short -summered island, they have made notable advances in less material fields. A truly remark able literary development sprang up in this far northern island in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. full | hundred years before the Renaissance began to make itself felt in sunny l Italy.

Married Women Keep Their Own Names.

"In more recent times the Iceland CTS have shown themselves to be in advance of many parts of the world in their social and political ideas Women had full political privileges in Iceland earlier probably than in any other civilized country. At the pre- sent time part of the Althing. the Tcelandic parliament. is elected by proportional representation Votes for women is not the only mark which feminism has placed oD the life of Iceland. The custom of women re- taining their own names when they marry is more general in Iceland. perhaps, than in any other modern country.
 The political status of Iceland is in some ways peculiar. In effect it might be said to be an autonomous state in partnership with Denmark. It has no army or navy and is under no obliga- tion to contribute either men or money
