As TO Personalities.

Poisons or deleterious preservatives shall
only be applied externally and shall be
of kind that will not permeate to the in
terror of the product and the preventative
must be of such a character that, until
removed, the food products are inedible.
Misbranding OF food or drug products is
guarded against particularly. The label
on every product must bear the name of
the product, the place of manufacture, and
must show whether the article is COM
pound. mixture or blend, and must desig-
nate the ingredients and proportions in the
case of drugs and foods. The use Of any
false or misleading statement design or
device on the label is specifically prohibited.
It Is known that some difference of opin-
ion arose among the members Of the COM
mission respecting important details Of the
rules As originally drafted the rules prac-
tically prohibited the use Of generic names,
as applied TO products Of American manu-
facture For instance, champagne, as dis
tinguishing a kind of wine, could not be
used I'm connection with an American win"
of that kind because II was held to he
misleading IL not actually deceptive. Geo
graphical names generally, as applied to
food or drug products. or TO wine and
LIQUORS. were not permitted to be used
under the regulations as prescribed by the
commission.

Simplifed Spelling
he
! By Professor BRANDER MATTHEWS

adhesion of the foremost linguistic authorities OF both
branches of the English speaking race ought to be reassurrng
to those who have dreaded that the recommendations OF the
simplfed spelling board might work harm to our tongue
and etymology. It serves to show that those who KNOW MoSI
about English spelling believe it ought to be improved.
Sooner or later what we propose to do is bound to go through. All
thinking people already realize that, and nothing better could have
happened for our movement than to have the president stand IN a
hilltop and blow a vigorous blast for us What we want to DO Is to
arouse THE INTEREST OF PEOPLE and make them look into
what we are really proposing, and the presidents action will DO that as
nothing else could
The presidents order came as an entire surprise to me. ! am sure
that I did not even send him any of the documents published by the
board and did not have any idea that he was interested in the subject
even until a request for our list of recommended speIings was received
from Secretary Loeb.
The next knew was the announcement of the order IN the papers.
I am very glad to find that the president was more interested IN our
efforts than I supposed, and I feel sure that his Endorsement will be OF
the greatest possible beneftso the simpiGed spelling movement

h% th. roaf in :, your . s' dictionary sSn Ts's Notwithstanding S which, ! yoa
need not jump at the conclusion that the compoitor has
made a mistake. Hugh Morton once observed that what
Z was a "kafay" on Broadway became a "kafe" on the Bow
cry and what might be monomania in Grand Rapids becomes MONEY
MANIA in New York.
Webster defines the synonym as the arrangement Of a single fac
uHy of the mind or with regard to a particular subject, the other facul-
ties being in regular exercise That ST. In Grand Rapids the par
ticular subject happens to be furniture for churches, schools, theaters
pnd homes. On Manhattan Island it is furniture for the WALLET.
Unpoeic persons call it CASH.
Cash is the only important factor of life in New York. It is the
golden grease that lubricates the mills Of the gods, the only oil used iii
making the wheels of existence go round. MONEY TALKS
EVERYWHERE. In Gotham it browns any other kind of CONVEX
sation and does infinitely more screaming than the American eagle.
From the Bronx to the Battery It. s the JUNCTION poured on the souls Of
men, the endless topic of discussion, the reason for sacrifice, the object
in life. MONEY IS THE METROPOLITAN SPELLING for
art, science and politics, love, faith and religion, joy, sorrow and all
mundane things. We who inhabt the big city express our trust in
God on a silver dollar and say our prayers twenty times a day to the
mental image of a golden calf.
Perhaps the foregoing strikes you merely as a fantastic flight Of
fancy. If you write an. Y" after your name in hotel registers you
won't have long to reflect before you reach the conclusion that every
word of it is simple truth. The pursuit of fortune is undertaken in a
"bubbe"-last years slang for automobi1e-instead of ON A BUB-
BILE, and the drippngs leave their traces up and down the sands OF
town. Get into a subway train any morning and use your eyes and
ears. The station from which you start is attractively designed and
ornately decorated with the kind of paintings that bring the greatest
fame in this commercial age.
A striking landscape on your left is entitled "Udesira Cracker"
and the much mustached gentleman whose portrait stares from your
right is the maker of a we'll known kind of talcum powder In what
ever direction you turn you are confronted with reminders that you
would do well to eat certain foods, drink certain liquids O year certain
garh A little less profusion in the hanging of these works of art
might give a better effect, but any New Yorker would tell you that
man was a fool who sacrificed coin Of the realm FOR THE SAKE

TWO WEAK POINTS.

Two points in connection with the
primaries are in need of clearing up
at the next session of the legislature.
These we're brought out prominently
in the contest yesterday. One of these
was whether or not a citizen can reg
lister on primary day in cities with a
population of less than 10000 popu-
lation, and the other was whether or
not the saloons must close and have
their barrooms exposed the same as
on Sundays and elections days.
Regarding the saloons, there seems
to be little doubt, but those who want
to use the places find a loophoie
through which to crawl in declaring
that the saloons shall be open, It
seems there is nothing in the primary
law which says a saloon shall close,
but the law does declare that the pri-
maries constitute an election. AS it
is against the law to have saloons OPP
en- during an election it would seem
perfectly plain that saloons were not
to be opened. However, because the
primary law does not distinctly de-
clare that saloons shall be closed
there are those who claim that they
can do business.
A test case should be made and
have the courts decide this matter
once for all. If it is decided that
there is nothing to prevent them do
ing business, then there should be a
law distinctly stating that they should
be closed. 1t is the saloons which
make possible a great deal of illegal
voting, fraud and corruption.
AS to the registration, there is an
honest difference of opinion. The at
torney general Of the state declared
some time ago that no one could reg
lister on primary day in cities of less
than 10000 population. The county
board of elections in this county ac-
cepted the attorneys decision. Coun-
ty Counsel Mum, Of Essex county,
disagrees with the attorney general
and declared that registration could
take place in Essex county. City At
torney Hicks, of New Brunswick, alsu
declared that registration was legal.
This caused much confusion.
In this city registration was going
on and the machine made the best
use of it.
1t is plain to be seen that registra-
ton should not be allowed on pri-
mary day. 1t is the duty of the next
legislature to clear up these matters
so that there may be a fair election
hereafter, 1t is decidedly unfair to
have registration going on in one
ward and in another have it strictly
prohibited.
In this city, yesterday, lei were
rushed to the polls, had their names
placed on the registry books and
showed their votes into the ballot box
regardless Of all rights and justice.
These two points should be taken care
of before another primary election
rolls around.
