Pure Food Law.

Whatever programme shall be out
lined by the commission representing
the various executive departments in
the preparation of regulations under
which the pure food law is to be en-
forced, the commissioners understand
fully that they will be dependent in
large measure upon the aid of state
organizations, food commissioners,
and special agents for the enforcement
Of the law up to such time as congress
shall provide the necessary fund to
aid the government officials in the en-
forcement of the act. The law does
not go into force until January /, and
the commission designated to perfect
the regulations express confidence
that the defects in the law, through
want of necessary funds and the omis-
sion of the provision for a government
standard, are to be met, first, through
the aid Of the experts working under
state authority, and, second, by the
enforcement of the standard that has
already been adopted under the ex-
press direction of congress. The re-
suit Of the hearings held in New York
by the department commissioners was
the obtaining Of considerable valua-
BILE information regarding the use OF
coloring and preservatives in foods,
and also the devices adopted by man
ufacturers, including misleading labels
upon food packages. The commission
has practically completed the draft
of regulations, and when these rules
have been passed upon and approved
by the secretary Of the treasury, the
secretary Of the department of COM
merce and the secretary Of agricul-
ture, they will be promulgated for the
guidance of the trade. The duty will
then devolve upon the department. ex-
perts to make collections of samples
of food products on the market for
tests to determine whether the provis-
ions of the law are being violated, and
whether the foods on the market come
up to standards of purity fixed under
the legislative authority. 1t is through
the commissions and experts operating
in the various states that the officials
here expect to obtain assistance in
making collections of samples OF
foods, drugs, etc. Congress failed to
incorporate in the pure food law a
provision fixing the standard Of food,
for two reasons: First, that the pre-
paration of a standard Of purity of

foods is a technical one, with which
the committee of congress hesitated
to grapple; second, the food manu-
facturers expressed considerable feel
tion eing that the work would be en-
ing prepared at that time, the allega-
ton being that the work wuld be In
trusted to DR.. Wiley, the chief chemist
Of the department Of agriculture.
Many food manufacturers, distillers
and compounders have been engaged
in controversies with DR.. Wiley for
several years, and they are severe IN
their criticism of him.

Appeals Her Case.

The appeal of the Spanish Countess
of Buena Vista, in her damage suit
against Maj.-Gen. John B. Brooke,
which was recently decided against
her by the General District Court of
New York, has been docketed in the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The New York court held that while
the countess had cause for action
against the United States or against
Cuba, She had none against Gen.
Brooke, and it's asserted in the appeal
that this ruling is erroneous. The
origin of the suit is found ia the abol-
tom by Gen. Brooke, while he was gov
ernor-general of Cuba in 1899, of the
countess right to slaughter all the
cattle killed in Havana.
The prospective attainment Of the
Cuban sugar crop is figured by Prof.
Julius Wolf of the German Universe
ty of Breslau to be at least five times
its present crop. He states that the
present canefelds Of Cuba cover
scarcely more than 1900 square miles,
and that, despite this fact, Cuba al
ready produces more than half as
much sugar as Germany, but that A.
600 square miles Of arabic land are
available in Cuba for sugar culture.
Prof. Wolf estimates that sugar can
now be produced in Cuba at $1.20 per
hundred pounds, which he says, is
very much less than the cost Of pro-
ducing sugar in Germany. He indi-
Gates great fear Of the injurious com
petition Of Cuba with the Germans for
supremacy in sugar production.
The feeling in official circles in
Washington i'm regard to Cuba is not
quite so pessimistic. Ut is believed that
Taft will effect settlement.
An investigation has revealed the
fact that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has used government
funds in a campaign to secure more
