1T will be a matter OF considerable
moment to place a public ban on GER
tain manufactured food articles. For
that reason have decided to go over
all of the articles again this week with

when will you give out the re-
porte" was asked.
THAT is very questionable" replied
DR.. Crumbine. There is an ObScurity
in the law on which I shall first have
to have an opinoin from the attorney
general. You will notice that the
statute says that the chemical depart
ments of the State university and the
Agricultural college shall make ex-
aminations of different substances,
that the board of health shall examine
the reports of these chemical depart
ments and shall then publish in the
official paper all such foods, and the
names of their manufacturers, which
are found impure and injurious to
health. What I am not certain about
is just who has the authority to pub
lish these reports, whether it lies with
the men who make the examinations,
whether with the board, or whether
with me.
But a more important point is this
who shall decide whether the food is in
furious? We may find and have found
authorizations, preservatiVes and colorlng
matters none of which may do actual
harm If taken in ordinary small guam
titles. For instance we analysed can
of maple syrup. On the can was Ia
bel which guaranteed that the material
of which 1t is made is pure Canada sap
Our examination proved that there was
not a drop of maple syrup in the whole
can but that it is all cane syrup, flavor
ing and a little coloring matter. Now
that syrup viii probably not hurt any
one to eat it. 1t may not be injurious
But it is the rankest kind of fraud.
What are we going to do in an instance
like that? We may have can of pre-
served meat. To eat small ordinary
quantity may not hurt anyone. But take
a working man who eats probably a
small jar of it for his lunch, it being
especially convenient for that purpose.
It may hurt him seriously. The law is
obscure and dim. It does not make itself
plain. shall put these matters directly
UP to the attorney general and let him
bear the responsibility. It NAV be that
we shall have to wait for another legis-
lature before we can ever make re-
port on bad food products Dublic."

"A dramatic little story is told by the
Dundee whalers, all of whom are now
home safe from their perilous toll in
the frozen seas of the far north.
One day, when some Of the crew Of

Have Drilled Two Wells That Started
Out at Over One Thousand Barrels


On eleven hundred acre lot Ain the
Usage nation, near Bartlesvile-the COM
pany have completed three big wells. The
first one drilled was estimated by disin-
terested parties as from fifteen hundred
to two thousand barrels the first day.
However the writer of this can make at
fidaVit that it went considerably better
man one lhousahd parrais the nrsr DAY.
OF course anyone knows these wells settle
down to about one-eighth of what they do
the first day or so. However, they are
fortune-nakers, just the same. How
would you like to own even a fifty barrel
oiler2 Well, the Uncle Sam company has
been just fortunate enough to secure
some of the cream of the oil fields. If
you come down we can show you that
this is correct, too. You can drill an oil
well in deep territory on every four acres
and they will last. In the Kansas ter
ritory they ought to have five acres. Fig
ure for yourself what the Uncle Sam
company can put on the THIRTY THOU
SAND ACRES. Even though only one
fifth of this territory is good oil produc-
ing territory, the output would still be
enormous.
