PATENT MEDICINE
FIGHT DROPPED
HEALTH BOARD P0WERLESS,
SAYS CITY ATTORNEY
Pharmacist Not Responsible for Drugs
Sold In Original Packages, Is
the Opinion of Mr..
Mathews

ITO the best of my knowledge the
board Of health has no legal right to
force druggists of Los Angeles to label
patent medicines or to interfere with
the sale of proprietary medicines. u
This was the gist of the answer made
by City Attorney Mathews to the ques-
tion of the board of health as to their
powers in the matter.
The communication read as follows:
"a pharmacist Is responsible for all
drugs sold by him except those sold in
original packages and except articles
or preparations known as patent or
proprietary medicines. There are two
acts passed by the California legisla-
ture in 1901, in which are embodied the
foregoing statements. Each of these
acts contains a proviso that 1t shall
not apply to registered or copyrighted
proprietary medicines nor to the man.
ufacture or sale of such remedies by
persons other than pharmacists"
In the discussion which followed the
reading of the communication it was
stated that although the board OF
health had no legislative powers, II
could, If ordinances We're framed by
the council, compel the enforcement
of an ordinance making druggists label
all patent meulc1neS as poison ana tC
see that each one having beyond a GER
tain percentage of alcohol should be
labeled with the percentage of alco-
hol.
No motion was made and the subject
was laid aside subject to the pleasure
of the next meeting.
The report of the garbage inspector
was read and it was noted that las
complaints had been received by the
garbage inspectors. But inasmuch as
the inspectors have no power to enforce
any better service in the way of the
garbage collections, it was resolved
that one of the inspectors should be
taken from the position as garbage in
spector and put on as one of the fruit
and vegetable inspectors.
The report of the fruit and vege-
table inspector was read and ii was
noted that 1884 pounds of fruit and
vegetables were condemned by the in
spectors In the two weeks since the
last report was made.
A motion was made to increase the
standard of milk by establishing 6O0,-
900 bacteria to the cubic centimeter as
the highest number of bacteria that
would be allowed and 1t was resolved
to revoke the permit OF any milk ven
dor selling milk containing a larger
number OF bacteria than 500 1000. Some
OF the samples OF milk of which re-
ports were made contained as many as
100000, or ten times the number al
lowed.

Mrs. Edgar German spoke in regerd

matter.
Resolutions were passed to the effect
that all women of the league should
do their holiday shopping early In order

as easy as possible.
A circular was drawn up to be dis
tributed with merchandise from the
various stores. 1t reads as follows

between the 18th and 25th, Is a time
of excessive nervous strain upon the

Hereafter none of the roads Of this

The decision to abandon the busi-

Location and Morals.

In large city different grades of
society gather in certain sections.
Filth, vice and depravity center in
certain localities, while virtue, re-
tinement and morality seek other To-
cations. Young people are uncon-
sciously influenced by the atmos-
phere Of the locality through which
they pass and repass to their daily
work. Students from the interior
towns attending business college in
San Francisco should be very par
ticular about the location of the col
lege they select, as the first six
months of their stay in the city is
the most impressionable period OF
their stay there. A large college
like the California, located in a re-
fined residence section of the city,
away from the noise, strife and
temptations of city, throws a safe
guard around their lives at this i'm
portant period, which is of incalcu-
liable advantage to them, and which
should be most carefully considered
by their parents. Go and see the
beautiful college, with It's healthful
moral surroundings, and you will
never send your children to any
other college but the California.

which such varied and useless lot

being considerably damaged. In
fact the damage is such that the

until the railroad makes the damage
good. This has been agreed to. The

Desires to Establish MIX Route.

Vim. l.. Irvine, of Butte, Montana,
was all arrival here the first of this
week to look over the possibilities of
milk shipping route to supply the
southern country. He is DESTROYS of
leasing or purchasing the Yerington
creamery as a starter for his project.
His plan will be to put line of
wagons on to run through the valley
and collect milk and take it to the
creamery, where it will be treated
by process which will keep it
sweet for shipping for several days,
and then to ship it to Tonopah, Gold
field and other camps south of here.
Mr.. Irvine has been conducting a
business on this line in Montana for
some years past, having his milk
shipped from Ogden, Utah, to Butte
City. After Investigating the posi-
bIlities of this section in regard to
this enterprise he expressed him
self as well satisfied that he could
make paying proposition of it and
also place the farmers OF this section
in a way to make more money from
their dairies. 1t is found that the
price being paid for milk is about 6
or cents per gallon, and Mr.. Irvine
thinks that his project will give the
mixers IL or IS cents a gallon for
their milk. Should the stockholders
Of the Yerington Creamery Co. de-
eide to accept his proposition, the
company would still continue to
turn out the same high quality of
butter for its patrons, but the ad
vance in the price of milk would no
doubt induce many more farmers to
buy dairy COWS and milk for the
market. Mr.. Irvine left for Tonopah
Thursday to see what arrangements
he could make there to supply the
camp with pure, fresh milk from
this section, and will be here again
shortly to see what the creamery
people will do about accepting his
proposition.

about sixteen men are employed in
all, eight being miners. Ore for
shipping is being extraced and two

buska tor the Utah smelters. At
the Spragg mine four men are en-
ployed on development work.
Throughout the hills on either side
of the valley much prospecting IL
going on and there are indications
that quite mining boom will be on
this Summer in both copper and
gold prospects.
