MUST NOT DECEIVE
PUBLIC WITH LABELS
Secretary Wilson Will Insist
Upon Packers Telling Only
the Plain Truth.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Nothing
short of the placing on meat product
of labels which will not deceive the
public was the ultimatum which Secre-
tary Wilson delivered TO forty repre-
sentatives of various packing houses
here today. Hereafter If the packers
want their goods accepted for inter
state shipment the packages must bear
labels more specific than those used
hitherto. 1t Will not do. for instance,
10 state merely that a package contains
sausage, The label must distinctly de-
scribe the article and plainly show that
the sausage is made entirely of pork,
Of pork and beef combined, or of other
ingredients,
The elimination of certain advertis-
ing features on the labels will also be
insisted upon. The packers were par
ticularly solicitious regarding the meat
products already put up and held in
stock but Secretary Wilson assured
them it was not his intention to open
every package. but to select n certain
percentage, and If they were found as
represented, he would authorize labels
for the lot, certifying that it had met
the requirements of the law,
In administering tho law Secretary
Wilson said he would apply common
sense and that 1T was not his intention
to be hysterical or TO impose any un-
necessary hardsbips on the packers
Further conferences will continue to-
morrow.

GETS DIVORCE AND A WARNING
Brugiere Liable to Arrest II He
Marries Outside of Nevada

In handing down his decision in the
Brugiere divorce case at Reno last
week, Judge Cnrler informed the
plaintiff, who was granted a divorce.
that If he remarked in another State he
would be liable to arrest for bigamy.
and that his children. should any be
born to such union. would not have to
be recognized as Legitimate, all this be-
ing made possible by the celebrated
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the New York-Connecticut
case in which it was held that default
divorces secured against nonresident
defendant. unless the State where the
action was brought was the last matri-
monial domicile of the parties, did not
have to be recognized in other States.
The Court also said the next Nevada
Legislature should so amend the divorce
laws Of Nevada in such manner as to
bring them into strict harmony with
the Supreme Courts decision. If this
were done. he said, by all the States,
the regulation of divorces on National
scale would be accomplished aud the
flight of parties from one State to an
other for the purpose of gaining di-
vorc,s would be effectually stopped.
