IMPURE PRODUCTS
MAY NOW BE BARRED
Appropriation Act Empowers Agricultural Depart
nlent to Exclude Bad Drugs Wines, and Foods.

surprising announcement was made
Tuesday by Dr.. w. H. Wiley, chief of
the Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricul-
tural Department, when he said that un
noticed by the importers of the coun-
try, a clause had been buried in the
Agricultural Department appropriation
bill which authorized the shutting out
from this country of all impure or adul-
terated foods, drinks or drugs. The
statement was made at the meeting of
the American Therapeutic Society, and
caused a great deal of comment
DR.. Wiley stated that for some years
his bureau has been anxious to have
some means of getting at the foreigners
who export. to this country impure
drugs, drinks. and food, but that the
efforts had been constantly defeated.
AT the last session of Congress clause
was buried in the appropriation bill
which gave the bureau the very power
which 1t has been so long seeking. and
after It becomes effective July l it Will
be rigidly enforced.
May Examine All Goods.
The law states tnat the SECRETARY Va
Agriculture shall have the power to ask
the Secretary OF the Treasury to hold up
for examination any packages which lie
thinks contains impure or adulterated
food, drugs or drinks, or packages which
contain material not manufactured or
prepared in strict accordance with the
laws OF the country from which they are
shipped. Should the examination verify
the suspicious of the Agricultural De-
partment, the Secretary of the Treasury
is ordered to forbid the entrance of the
material
Great results are expected OF the law
which will be not only protective but re-
taliatory. One of the first countries to
feel its effects Will be Germany. The
Germans have been legislating against
American meats on the ground that they
contain borax DR.. Wiley states that all
Of the frankfurter sausages imported
into this country from Germany are
tainted with borax and after July l they
will be barred Wines Will also suffer
greatly. DR.. Wiley says that there is
hardly wine which comes 20 this coun-
try labeled as pure French wine" which
is not a mixture Of French and Italian
