| and he would do his best to be of
help to them. Mr.. Cummings is full
| of Chamber of Commerce spirit. and
when he found that he had missed

utes, he did not do what the average
| busy man would have done, (that is
to telegraph. his regrets for not be-
ing able to attend,) but jumped into
! an automobile and started for Dover
| Foxcroft. arriving shortly after the
| Maine Central made its appearance

not break any speed laws either.

furnished by Cairns orchestra. and

Cases of Alleged
Misbranding of
Bottled Milk

The attention of the Dairy Divis-
ION of the Maine Department of Ag-
rlculture has been called to alleged
misbranding of milk by certain milk
dealers. The alleged misbranding is
found on the caps of the bottles in
which the milk is sold. These caps
are marked with the statements of
Certified Milk" and "Pasteurized
Milk Such statements are forbid
den by law unless the product labeled
is produced and handled according
TO the processes designated.
No Certified Milk" is produced or
sold in the State of Maine. Certified
milk must be produced and handled
according to the rules of Certified
Milk Commission" There is no
Certified Milk Commission in this
State. Such milk is produced at an
unusually high cost and is sold for
about twenty-five or thirty cents a
quart.
Labels of "Pasteurized Milk" can be
lawfully used only to designate milk
which has been heated to 142 degrees
F or over, held for at least thirty
minutes and then Immediately cooled
to so degrees f or under. "Pasteur-
lied Milk" is being sold in only few
of the larger cities of Maine. "Pas-
teurized Milk" is considered no bet
ter than ordinary milk from q heal
thy herd free from disease. The ad-
vantage pasteurized milk has over
ordinary (raw) milk is that the
process of pasteurization, to which
the former is subjected, will kill
germs which might be therein and
transmit a communicable disease.
Ordinary milk is more valuable, as
a food, since it's vitamine content is
not impaired as is done by pasteuri-
cation. The greatest advantage which
dealers might obtain in the use of
the label "Pasteurized Milk" lies in
misleading an uniformed public in
to the belief that the term "pasteur-
ICED" refers to a better product.
The cases of misbranding are be-
lieved to be unintentional and are
probably due to the fact that certain
supply houses are selling lots of as
sorted caps with various labels in
Guiding labels marked Certified
Milk, and "Pasteurized Milk" which
when used on ordinary (raw) milk,
are false and malicious. Dealers
using such are subject to a heavy
penalty for misbranding. MillSmen
are warned against the use of these
caps.

raised his arm to ward off a blow,
and that was the last thing he re-
membered.
When he regained consciousness
he found himself lying in the corridor
of the Stevens block. His money
was gone. He dragged himself ia
the street where he was found by the
taxi driver.
The case was not reported. to the
police until several hours after he was
discovered so that it is difficult to
find any clues

counting classifications for gas and
electric utilities which are effective

sent to the various utilities Novem-
Der LIST in order that they may have
opportunity to become familiar with
the new regulations before the effec-
tive date.

Lamb. in his report to the Commits
sion for 1920. recommended that
consideration be given to the revi-
sion Of the accounting classifications
for these utilities. the present is
sues in many important respects not
being adequate for the needs Of the
Commission nor OF the utilities
themselves. The matter of revision
was Immediately undertaken and
has covered period of more than
two years.
Some months after this work was
started the National Association of
Railway & Utilities Commissioners
| Issued. tentative drafts OF classical
tons for electric and gas companies
recommended for adoption through
out the entire country.
With the desirable feature of uni
formity In mind these tentatives
drafts were made the object of en-
| tended study and became the subject
OF many conferences both public and
private. with individual officers of
the utilities. and representatives of
the National Association. in addi-
ton to numerous discussions on the
part of the Commission ard chief
accountant.
While the National Association
Classification was not accepted In it's
entirety as to form and statement.
such portions az were adapted to the
needs OF the Commission. and ALL
classes OF these utilities over the
State, were Incorporated in the final
draft which was adopted by the
Commission on Nov. LIST, 1923.
The Commission feel the results
as whole, present classifications
adapted to the needs of all classes
of these utilities within the State,
adequate for the purposes of regu-
lation, and at the same time in line
with approved accounting practices.

Church Observance
Temperance Sunday

Governor Baxter issued the follow
Ing statement Wednesday endorsing
Temperance Sunday, Nov. 4, 1928.
Sunday, November 4th. has been
set aside as Temperance Sunday in
the Sunday schools and churches of
this country, and l urge those in
charge of the churches and Sunday
schools of Maine to make special OBJ
scrvancc of this day.
Great strides have been made in
temperance work during the last few
years, but at the present moment the
forces of evil are strong, and are
striving to modify or repeal the great
temperance laws of our States and
Nation.
United effort is required on the
part of those who believe in temper
ance and prohibition, and it is espe-
cially incumbent upon the Sunday
schools and churches to rally to the
support of this great cause.
ut would be difficult for us to i'm
agine what the State of Maine would
be today had it not been for prohibit
