THE FAULTS OF THE PURE FOOD BILL.

President Roosevelt is reported by
correspondents as urging action at this
session on the pure food bill. Speaker
Cannon has informed him that the bill
has a fighting chance and the presi-
dent is always willing to follow up
lighting chances" He is reported as
saying frankly he thinks 1t would be
fatal to wait. In fact, it is a case OF
to lie on the table over summer the
enemies of pure food and drink will
work out a campaign plan that will
postpone such legislation for many
years A special message may be sent
| to congress urging it's passage.
| The strongest opponents of the pure
| food law are the whisky, the patent
medicine and the canning interests.
There are several so-caled COMMITTEE
amendments" which these interests
| are backing, to take the sting out of
| the bill. One of these adds the word
| approximate" to the clause requiring
the weight or quantity of contents to
show on the label of a can or bottle.
Another permits two grains of opium
or q quarter grain Of morphine" to be
used without being stated on the la
bel.
Plainly speaking, certain representa-
tives of the people are opposing the bill
because manufacturers of crooked
whisky would be enjoined from selling
their poisonous product as "old copper
distilled rye, eighteen years old. aged
in the wood" Other Representatives
of popular government" are fighting it
because the bill insists that packers
make pound can weigh pound in
stead of 1919 ounces. and two pound
can weigh two pounds instead of one
pound and six ounces. Others in con-
gress oppose it because it because 1t
refuses to permit morphine and opium
to be used secretly in patent prepara-
tons.
If these amendments permitting
fraud in weight and poison in drink
and medicine may be tackled to the bill.
there will he no serious opposition TO
it as pure food BILL

Home Made Sewage Tank for Farm

|
After several years Of investigation,
Professor A. Marston, dean of the
Division of Engineering at Ames, Iowa,
has devised sewage tank system
which he believes will effectually dis
pose of the house and vault refuse of
the farm. Experiments which have
thus far been carried out indicate that
this supposition is fact. The general
plan is illustrated in an accompanying
illustration made from Professor
Marston's plan. At the request of The
Prairie Farmer the designer furnishes
us with this description:
This tank Is made of brick, the
thickness of the walls being four inch
es. Inside the tank is seven feet long
by three feet wide. and containing
sewage to a depth of three feet for
family of ordinary size. The dimen-
sions can be varied to suit the num-
Der of people contributing to the sew
age The tank is arched over on top
with four inches of brick and has two
24-inch wells closed by plank covers
which permit access to the two ends.
The sewage from the house should
enter thru a sewer at the high water
level in the tank at depth below the
surface of the ground, depending upon
the fall necessary to give satisfactory
flow from the house. The size of the
sewer can be four inches and should be
laid with fall of two feet to the 100 il
possible, and all it's joints should be ce-
mented. At the point where the sewer
enters the tank an elbow should be
placed extending below the surface of
the sewage in the tank so as to pre-
vent the escape of sewer gas from
the tank to the house.
Three feet from the farther end Of
the tank a 2X12 plank is placed on
edge across the tank with it's lower
edge 10 inches below the high water
line. Above this a brick wall is built
to divide the tank into two compart-
ments.
The space beyond the wall, three
feet square, is covered with a wooden
grating IS inches below the surface of
the sewage on which two inches of fine
pebbles are placed and above this six
inches of sand. The sewage in passing
out of the tank must filter upwards
thru this grating and thru the gravel
and sand which is for the purpose of
altering out any solid material in the
sewage.
The outlet may be into good four
inch agricultural drain tile, not ce-
mented, laid at the high-wat line Of

symptoms, it counteracts the effect OF
the cold and restores the system to a
