TO DETAIN ROOD IMPo
Goods Arriving From Europe, to BE
Examined for Authorizations.

IL
Several cargoes of food products
ave arrived at eastern ports from Ger
many, France and Italy, suspected of
being in violation of the new pure food
act which went into effect July /, and
the collectors of customs at the ports OF
arrival are requested to hdlu the ship
ments until a chemical analysts can be
made to ascertain whether all or any
part of these cargoes can be admitted
This is the substance of letter re-
ceived by the secretary of the treasury
from the department of agriculture,
and is the first step toward test of the
new law. DR.. Wiley, chief of the chem
istry division of the agricultural de-
partment, has been engaged for months
in making careful analysis of all food
products imported. He hascarefully as
certained and noted the component
parts of all commodities imported, and
has prepared what may be termed the
blacklist. Upon this list is complete
record of all commodities found dele
terious to health, all that. are forbidden
to be sold in the country where pro-
duced, all which are restricted in sale In
the countries in which made or from
which exported, and all which are false
iy labeled either in respect to place Of
manufacture or contents. These classes
of goods under the new law may be ex-
cIuded.
The suspected commodities men.
toned in the letter from Secretary Will.
son include canned goods, sausages,
wines and liquors, olive oil and other
food products. Instructions have been
issued by the secretary of the treasury
to the respective collectors of customs
who have jurisdiction over the ''car-
goes" to detain them The collectors
will be required to forward at once to
the secretary of agriculture samples of
the goods The ttcargoes'' that have
been held are upon the agricultural de-
partment's blacklist, and Secretary viii
son, from the advices received from
Cources abroad, has reason to believe
Rhe entries must be excluded.
The new law is in large measure re-
taliatory, the result of foreign discrtm-
fnation against American food products,
and will be enforced by Secretary Will
son without regard to the protests it
may bring forth from European govern
ments

Chicago, Aug 1S.-A cure for lock-

Mathews of the, University of Chicago,
and has been successfully used in
treating George Newman Of South Chi

Or Mathews's method Of treatment
is the injection Of solution Of calcium

Newman week ago while he was suf-
fering from extremely severe tetanus
spasms, and he is now declared to be
well under way to health. The prob
