LOOK OUT FOR THE MARY
LAND LABEL

Nearly half a million labels wer,
distributed to dealers in beddins
mattresses, pillows, com
fortables-by the State Department
of Health, during the last twelv,
months, according to a report of Mr.
j. Davis Donovan, who is in charg,
of the administration of the Beddins
Law passed at the last session o.
the Legislature.
when Maryland housewives &c
shopping for mattresses, or pillows
or other soft warm comfortables
they expect, as matter of course
to be duly safeguarded, so far as
the sanitary qualities and the exact
contents of their purchases are con.
eerned," DR.. John S. Fulton, Director
of the State Department of Health
said, in discussing the work of the
Department in this field. IF they
want to be quite sure of what they
are getting" he continued, lit will
be worth while for them to get into
the habit Of looking out for the
Health Department label.
\ 1.-THE Maryland Bedding Law is
like the Pure Food Laws in requir-
ing the exact contents of the articles
displayed for sale, to be stated
Whether the MARTIAL is all new; or
partly second hand must also be
stated. Materials in made-over mat
tresses, pillows or comforta bles must
be sterilized and disinfected lin ac-
cordance with methods approved by
the State Board of Health, and for
which a permit has been issued by
the Department, before they can
be used again for filling or resold.
Feathers or down, whether new or
old, that are to be used for filing
must be sterilized and disinfected,
for new as well as for made over
bedding, in accordance with
similar permit, and the number of
the permit must be shown on the
tag attached to each article.
1.-The bedding tags are issued to
manufactures and dealers by the
State Department OF Health. Each
of the manufacturer and of the
dealer by whom the article is sold
1t must also contain a statement OF
the materials used In filing; and
tags were issued in the last twelve
months according to the latest re-
port Of Mr.. j. Davis Donovan
chief Of the Division of Legal
Administration.
"To prevent evasions or violations
of the law, the Department has an
inspector in the field who visits
wholesale as well as retail concerns.
Violations of the law are reported
and dealt with according to the
law. Several cases are up at
present for prosecution.
Throughout the country, much
stricter attention is being paid to
the possibilities of transmission OF
disease through the careless hand
ling of bedding. The Maryland law
corresponds closely to the laws OF
other states. A recent report of the
enforcement of the bedding laws in
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and California, shows that there
we're twenty-three convictions with
fines, or other punishments, includ-
ing the closing of one factory, for
violation of the laws in these states
last month. Judge Mccarthy, OF
Chicago, in refusing a postponement
in one of the trials-a second Of
fense-said, This man is dissent
mating disease. He does not care.
but profits by trade in such
materials The Maryland law is
being enforced as carefully as pos
sibie so that the people of the State
may be protected from greed of that
sort"

Plans for the annual field trip of the Nindham County Farmers As sociation are already under way.

TYPICAL TALMADGE
 MELODRAMA COMING

Sparkling with q hundred bright facets of humor, and athrill with the bounding exploits which are the sen sational characteristics of it's star, "The Prince of Pep" Dick Talmadge's latest production for r. B. O., Sunday night at the Victory theatre. The latest Talmadge vehicle. or perhaps it might be better to say the latest Talmadge racing car since vehicle seems slow word at best to describe the hectic action in which Dick finds himself, gives Dauntless Dick plenty of scope for his aerobatic tricks as well as an opportunity to do some fine comedy interpretation. No film lu- minary has come so far and done it so rapidly as MT. Talmadge in the matter of acting, He Is fast becom- ing headline comedian. as his ever increasing popularity attests. "The Prince of Pep" is the story of young surgeon who loses his memory and for gets who he Is through a blow on the head. He lives sort of dual life as daring robber in New York. and as a helper of the poor.

Willem van der Lasn Speaks With Authority on Land
 scape Architecture
Engaged In Identifying the Venetian
 Way

The following from a Florida paper will he of local interest as Mir. van der Laan Is we'll known in Pomfret and Putnam:
 Willem (. van der Laan. landscape architect of The Hague. descendant of a long line of famous Dutch experts. has arrived at the Nenetial Hotel. He is engaged in beautifving the Venetian Way and it's environs.
 "To a stranger" Mir van der Laau said. "the scene along the East Coast of Florida. from Palm Beach ta Miami. Is 8 revelation of what man can do. It Is a beautiful shore line and nature has provided hard sand benches fer the rlessure and health seeker. with lovely little inlets and waterways for the hoatsman and fisherman. I am charmed with the shores I have seen and believe that a new Riviera is de velapinr rapidly along M;ami's beach es. on up to Palm Beach.
 'I note that Florida does things very rapidly As an instance. Hamii- ton Holt when he accepted the presi- deney of Rollins College. desired that S30000o be raised for certain exten- sions he believed would be to the ad- vantage of the college He expected this Co be raised in the course of time But upon the appeal Florida went over the top at it's usual pace. and he writes me they turned in S3s0.0 .000.
 Pleased With Beginning
 q am pleased with the beginning made in the Venetian architecture ad- jacent to the Venetian Way All the shore line thereabouts should conform to the architecture of the Venetian Hotel and the Woman's Club, both of which truly represent Venice and should be enhanced by an outspread- ing of similar architectural type and beauty on either side.
 While the horticultural college in Holland gives an excellent education and training for the profession in gen eral. and Hollands East Indian col onies furnish most of the plants and trees found in Florida. it must he said that Florida offers it's own problem to the landscape architect, and that prob lem is a fascinating one
 "0n the Venetian Way We are using coconut palms because they stand the salt spray better than any other trees hereahouts and between them we have some Australian pines These will b. trimmed low and kept SD. I think that one should be careful in the use of Australian pines except when they are planted for windhreaks. because the trees grow ont of hand and not adapt. ed for decorative purposes
 "There is no question but that coco nut palms and oleanders are the best and most practical decorative trees and shrubs for planting on causeways and shores. They withstand the weather and salt spray and maintain an individual beauty that knows nei- ther winter nor summer in their con- tribution to beauty
