SUPPLEMENTAL LABELS
UNDER PURE FOOD LAW
Articles Offered for Sale After Jan. !
Must State Character of Con-
tents Accurately.

Numerous rulings relating to the en-
forcement of the new federal pure food
law, which goes into effect Jan. l, are
being published. The gist of these de
cisions is that labels which contain
statements relative to the name of the
manufacturer, etc, which are not in
harmony with the general meaning of
the law, may be used. if on hand Jan. 1.
Any statement, however, respecting the
character of the contents which is false
or misleading must be corrected by the
use of supplemental labels, stamps, or
pasters,- placed so as to obliterate the
statement which is false. If the goods
contain artificial color or preservatives,
that fact must appear upon the supple
mental label These corrected labels
may be used until Oct 1, 1907, but af-
ter that date all labels entering into
interstate commerce must be in full
compliance with the pure food law.
All articles, however, which are in
the hands of manufacturers, jobbers, or
dealers on Jan. 1, and which are to be
sold wholly within the state are eX-
empt from the provisions of the fed
eral law. that is. the use of supplement
tai pastors, ETC., will be required only
in the case of goods which are not
handled within one state. In Iowa,
where a comprehensive pure food law
has been passed by the state legisla-
ture, requirements similar to those of
the federal law will be enforced by the
state authorities, but in Illinois, where
no stringent state legislation on this
subject has been passed, conditions will
as heretofore as far as foods
handled within the state are concerned.

REvERSES RULINGS
Supreme Court Remands Suit Of
Mrs. Burial Against Tell
ephone Company.
HENRY COUNTY INJUNCTION
Was Brought to Prevent Placing OF
Poles in Front of Farm Near
CoIona-Long Pending.

The supreme court has handed down
an opinion reversing and demanding for
trial the injunction case of Mrs. Ann c.
Burial against the Central Union Tel
ephone company, which has been pend
ing before the court for about two
years The bill for an injunction was
brought in Henry County. to prevent
the telephone company from contin-
uing to place poles in front of Mrs.
Burrall's farm property near Colona in
Henry county. The case was first
heard before the master in chancery,
who denied the injunction. Judge
Graves made the denial permanent la
ter in the circuit court, and the case
was taken TO the supreme court by
Mrs. Burial.
Had Delayed Action.
The contention was made that Mrs
Burial had waited eight years before
bringing the action, and her rights
were forfeited as a result. 1t was on
this ground that the injunction was
denied, but the supreme court has now
reversed the ruling of the circuit court.

Women Pickers at Work in Cranberry Bog.

Nor is the test confined to size.
Berries of a given size all roll down
the chute together, but at the bottom
their paths separate. The sound ones,
with a strong rebound, jump over the
bar into the bin, but the soft, wormy
ones have no such residence, and fall
short, rolling ANONYMOUSLY into the
waste box beneath. Should one by &C
cident manage to make the spring, a
lynx-eyed girl stands ready to Danish
it into outer darkness. This process
of elimination, picks out the right
size and quality for the market.
With careful wedding and watering,
an acre will yield more than 100 bar
rels of cranberries. and it has been
calculated that in eight years an acre
ought to pay back in full the entire
cost, leaving all that follows as clear
profit.
The earliest cranberries come from
Cape Cod. There picking begins early
in September and lasts till severe frost
sets in. In the middle states and the
west the crop is not so early.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa are cranberry states, but the
west is not able to produce all the
cranberries it needs. The western upt-
put and large percentage of the east
ern growth are required to dispense
the proper Thanksgiving cheer.
! One city alone, New York, uses 3O0,-
(! 900 bushels of cranberries every year.
For these the producer averages a
minimum price of five dollars per bar
rel. The consumer pays from five to
! ten cents quart. Somewhere be-
| tween the field and the Thanksgiving
dinner table some one has made a
big profit and when it is remembered
how long the producer had to wait
for his cash, all is forgiven.
The flavor that the red berry adds
to the turkey is in itself excuse for
anything.
