Secretaries Make Changes.

When the regulations were submit
ted to the secretaries of the three de.
partments for approval some changes
were made in them of very import
ant character. The use of geograph.
ical names, for instance. was provided
for In case where ii was thought the
names were generic or distinctive. II
was provided, however, that it should
be indicated on the package contain
ing the product that it was of Amer-
can manufacture. Thus champagne is
requ red TO be labeled American cham
pagne or California champagne, SO
that the purchaser while he knows
that he is getting certain kind Of
wine. knows also that the wine IS
made in America and not in France
The regulations apply to other pro
ducts in similar way.
1t vase the effort of the commits
siCn TO insure to the purchaser of any
food or drug products alb. oiute purity.

Labels Must Be Explicit.

Poisonous or deleterious preserya-
t'yes shall only be applied externally
and shall be Of a kind that will NOT
Dermeate to the interior of the pro
duct, and the preservatiye must be of
auch character that until removed
the food products are inedibIe Mis-
branding of food or drug products is
guarded against particularly. The label
on every product must bear the name
.of the product, the place of manufac,
ture, and must show whether the ar
ticle is a compound, mixture or blend
and must designate the Ingredients
and prcpert es in the case of drugs
and foods The use of any false or
mi1lealing statement. design or de.
vice on the label is specifically pro.
hibited.
II is known that some differences
of opinion arose among the members
OF the commission respecting import.
AM details of the rules As originally
drafted the rules pract cally prohibited
the use Of generic names as applied
to products of American manufacture.
For instance, champagne as distin-
gushing kind Of wine, could not be
used in connection with an American
wine of that kind. because it was held
to be misleading if not actually de
ceptiye. Geographical names gener,
ally as applied to food or drug pro.
ducts or to wine and liquors were not
permitted to he used under the regu-
Iations as prepared by the commits
sion.

IS TheMtllenniunM MerelyAMatterO Of Diet?

Most readers OF the daily papers will
remember the experiments at Yale
University a year or two ago under
the direction of Prof Russell Chitten-
den. Three groups of men-a company
OF United States regulars. a number
Of athletes. and coterie of college
professors-wer put on a simple re-
stricted diet under observation. For
six months they ate only what their
stomachs craved; when their actual
hunger was satisfied the meal ended.
1t was found that their capacity for
work increased tremendously. They
could do from 50 to 200 per cent more
work and better work And al the end
of the experiment they were healthier
and stronger than when they began.
That was F'letcherism on trial.
Prof Otto FOlin. of the MassachUs-
etts General Hospital. put it on trial
again with quite a different class Of
subjects. In the Mclean Asylum for the
Insane at WaveTley In each of the
thirty-fve patients on whom It was
tried distinct Improvement was noted
on small amount of food properly
eaten and therefore properly digested.
The result has been a sort Of campaign
for proper eating backed by many dis
tinguished people both in the United
States and Europe.
But the most startling possible effect
of FIetcherfsm IS that which Mr.
