UNIFORMITY IN room LAWS.
Move to Harmonic state and
National Regulations.



With the enactment Of a national law
relating to food products prepared for in
terstate shipment, the public acquires a
largely increased degree of protection
against adultersted foods and against the
form OF fraud involved in their sale. Some
thing still remains to be done. The national
law applies only in the case of foods
shipped from state to state. 1t cannot pre-
vent the manufacture and sale Of impure
food within the borders OF any given state
Furthermore, as the provisions of some
OF the state laws do not harmonic with
those OF the government and are, in fact,
wholly at variance with them, the resulting
confusion places a difficult problem be-
fore the manufacturer who seeks to carry
on a legal business in ell parts of the
country.
An effort to correct these conditions is
occupying the attentional of the national
convention OF state food and health officers
now In session at Hartford. Conn. The
attendants upon the convention will urge
more stringent legal provisions in the
states which fail to provide proper protec-
ton for their residents and will endeavor
to work for the adoption OF substantially
uniform provisions throughout the country
The Illinois statute. for instance, differs
radically from the federal law on the i'm
portant question Of labelling and the health
officers will urge that II be so amended
as to avoid this conflict.
Now that the necessary food legislation
has been secured from the federal govern
ment there should be no delay on the part
Of the individual states in taking what
steps may be necessary to supplement the
federal regulations and thus insure the
greatest benefit from them. Every COM
OF course, has a right TO fix
Its own standards In the matter of purity,
but in proportion as these standards tend
toward uniformity all will benefit.

A drunken man is a rare sight in Broad
way, rare enough to attract attention when
he does appear; but for nobody else there,
perhaps. does he possess quite the interest
that he has for the motorman when the
motOrman sees him essaying TO cross the
street ahead.
The motorman can calculate on the
movements OF trucks and other vehicles,
and he can figure. at least on what people
in their senses crossing the tracks will do,
but nobody can determine the erratic move
ments of a drunken man. and with him the
motorman takes no chances, and him he
seems always TO see. -
So when this particular one set out by a
devious course to cross Broadway he was
noted by the motornan of a car coming UP
Broadway at the moment he stepped down
from the curb, and though the car was then
fifty feet away, the motorman turned off
the power and took turn or two on the
brake and so got the car under complete
control, keeping his eve all the time on the
drunken man.
The drunken man was still far away, but
nobody could tell which way he might
lurch, and the notor1nan was taking no
chances; and so he kept the car down and
his eye on the man, and not until the
drunken man was across the street and had
stepped UP on the curb on the other side
did he give the car full power again and
throw of the brake.
