FEDERAL LAW

Although Prof. Shorey frequently re-
ports TO the Board OF Health the sale and
use Of adulterated and impure foods In
In such are rare. Aside from n few
prosecutions for the adulteration or d.
luton Of milk. the Eoard OF Health has
not In the past year proceeded against
any offenders under the Pure Food act OF
1855.
There are two reasons for it, explains
Prof shorey. in the first place local
merchants buy their goods on the Coast
In good faith and sell them I'm good faith.
They have no means Of knowing that .
can OF this or that Is impure. OF bot
tie OF this or that Is aduiterated until

endeavor TO locate IN 4 general way the
make OF goods liable TO be dangerous and
give this information to merchants and
the public. As / say. the merchant. in
the sale OF canned and bottled goods is
innocent In the matter OF disposing OF
Impure articles and IL seems not just fair
20 prosecute him.
's-rhe second reason why prosecutions
have not been vigorously pressed Is the
danger OF running up against the Inter-
State Commerce laws. Many States have
no pure food regulations. Anything with
them goes. California. for instance. has
no law like the one We are endeavoring
TO enforce. Were We to forbid California

Al GOOD PAPER GONE WRONG.

We are surprised to see that our en-
,erprising contemporary. the Stanton
News is not In favor Of an approprias
.ion to make a State exhibit at the ST.
Louis Exposition The News says that
such advertising does produce some re-
turns. but they are entirely, out of pro
portion to the expenditure. Not many
people, it declares go to worlds fairs
10 study the resources of particular
locality
on the contrary, a large proportion OF
the visitors go for that purpose. Espe-
ciaiiy do those who have money to in
vest and those who are seeking homes
visit the espositions for the purpose of
gathering the information which they.
seek Such visitors spend the greater
part Of their time in studying the eNhi-
bits from the various States. and they
govern themselves accordingly.
II Is impossible to be exact as to the
practical returns from this sort of adj
vertising, but at all the worlds fairs
that have been held in this country

Union have had EXHIBITS, and they would

lures If there were no adequate returns

But If no better results are to be ac-.

gained for Virginia to put herself in
line with the other progressive States.

she has not done SO in the past. Nir-a

much to advertise. and she should not

the pledge was utterly ignored. and
nothing whatever was done for relief.
The same old system: prevailed. and the
Journal OF Commerce. which Is one OF

which has been such an affliction to
many parts OF the South since the war
ended.
Directing attention to the fact that
Secretary. Carlisle foresaw the danger

for 1894. the Journal of Commerce says.
