next car to the approach, which is

the engine hauls out the train and

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Reg ular Cor respondent.

The foes of the Pure Food
Law have shown their hands
in the Senate t,y Introducing
a measure to strike out all
bnt the ennrting clause o!
the Hevburn bill prpparatO-
~ 70 substituting for it ii
hill prepared by the Nations
al Food Manufacturing AssO
clation. New a NATIONAL pure
food law has hten long ana
nrgerlIy needed. 1t touches,
every man, woman ana child
in the county, especially the
children, and it is a law that
no honest manufacturer has
anything to fear. 1t has been
urged hy all state food nu-
thoritieS and by all Of The
agricultural colleges OF the
country. The Hepburn bin
was drawn under expert al
vice to fill this particular
need and il put the execution
Oi the law ned and It put the
execution Of rhe law into the
the hands OF the Department
of Agriculture where it would
be enforced. 1t also IN Il d e

ment of Justice parties to it's

turpr of impure food liked.

on the face of it is more dras
tic than the Hepburn bill, it

branded and adulterated
foods by requiring that the
liable and the name of t b e
shipper shall appear only on
the hOx or crate in which the
goods are shipped and not
on the packages sold to tho
consumer. One can easily see
} how parentally protective a
E. law of this kind would te. 1t
