PURE FOOD LAW.
Necessary Fund for Enforcement
Provided by Congress.
st Louis Republic

4.
Now that congress has made an appro-
priation to enforce the pure food law, we
may expect TO see the effects OF its ap-
plicatlon to the evils 1t is intended to cor
rect Some criticism has been directed
against what has been called the insuffi-
cheney of the appropriation to carry out
free operation Of the measure.
Whatever the merits OF this claim may
be, enough money has apparently been
provided to at least prove the efficiency of
the law. Public interest In the early en-
forcement of its provisions is vital, since a
careful scrutiny Of the statute shows that
II possesses the essentials of a powerful
remedy against adulteration of food.
being interstate in its scope, the measure
strikes at the very root OF the evil in that
It prevents the shipment from one state to
another Of articles of food that fall within
the restrictions. Investigation which pre-
coded the enactment of the law, ana upon
the results of which 1t was framed demon
strated that many Of the adulterated foods
were of the kind manufactured for export
throughout the country.
While under the law the manufacture Of
these adulterated foods cannot be pro-
hibited nor their sale restricted in the
state where they are produced, the effect
Of the measure should cripple the industry
in way that will destroy the greatest
profits in the making. The matter of pro-
hibiting the manufacture or sale of adul-
terated foods within any state is left to the
legislatures OF the several states. Already
in q number of states steps have been
taken to bring about this very relief.
The action of the federal government in
attacking the evil through it's interstate
regulations will undoubtedly lend impetus
to the efforts OF the states to protect the
public health from the effects of impure
products,

A fight over pure food legislation is
sighted by the lawmakers at Lincoln.
The fight, however, is not to be so
much over restrictions as to food adul-
teration, but as to whether the super
visory powers shall be vested in the
board of health or in a pure food COM
mission. The prospect of a few sala-
ried jobs is always enough to precipi-
tate a fight.
