PURE FOOD LAW
GOES INTO EFFECT
SEVERE PENALTIES FOR VIOLA.
TIoNs ARE ATTACHED TO
THE MEASURE.

West Virginia's new pure food law,
passed at the last session OF the legis.
lature. will go into effect Wednesday.
January LIST. 1t will be well for gro
GERS. druggists. etc., to secure copy
Of this law and become familiar with
It's provisions. The laws heretofore
in force in the State only contemplate
ed punishment Of dealer when he
sold something Injurious knowingly.
The new law makes no such distinc.
tion. It makes no difference whether
the merchant knows his stun is bar.
red or not, II he ofIends he may be
punished, says the Grafton Sentinel.
And~the punishment Is no light mat
ter. Either the vlolator or his agent
shall be fined $50 to 500 for each Of.
tense and may be sent to jail from
20 to co days In addition. He shall
pay thee Expense Of inspection and an
alysis OF the suspected stuff and shall
pay a fee Of $40 to the prosecuting at.
torney for prosecuting him. All costs
under the new act are to be paid into
the county treasury.
Among the items which make the
law very effective is the section Civ.
Ing the prosecuting attorney the
right OF entry and search. He may
enter any place Of business or fac
tory or drug store or laboratory OF
any other place where food or drugs
are made or sold. After he enters he
may open any case or package or
bottle which he suspects OF containing
anything that is In violation OF the
law. In case he desires to do so he
may seize samples of the suspected
stun and have It analysed. The an.
alysls Is to be made by the State
chemist Of the State agricultural de-
partment.
1t is an offense II one manufactures
or offers for sale any aduIterated food
or drug. The old law exempted those
who did not know the article was
adulterated. Adulteration Is defined
in the law to be any substance mixed
with the article with the result that
the quality. strength or purity Of 1t is
deprecated.
II an article is made to appear
worth more than It really is there is
violation OF the Law. II the stun
Is Injurious to health the law is vIo
lated. II milk be sold from diseased
COWS 1t Is violation. " the labe
bears any statement which Is mislead
ing. 1t is a violation.
In the case of mixtures, and com
pounds. the label must show what It Is
and the type in which the announce
ment is made must be Mt least hall
as large as the largest sized tyne on
the label. Whenever any dope, poi
sonous or alcoholic constituents are
included In mixture or compound
the percentage Of each must be print
ed on the label.
A strict construction Of the Law
would make It unlawful to place 9
pink netting over basket OF greer
peaches to make them appear to be
blushins beauties worth more thar
the green ones could be sold for. II
Will also be unlawful to sell stall,
FOR n fresh egg. The list might be ex
tended to great length, but the reade,
may do this for himself.
! Attention is called to the law nnd
its provisions in order that the mer
chants and others who are affected
: may take steps to protect themselve.
from the possibility OF violating 4

PLAN TO RAISE SALARIES
Leveling of Pay in Equal Grades Is
Proposed.
Asserted That Irregularities shown
by the Keep Report, IL Corrected,
Would Make Big Increase.

The government clerks are not with
out friends at the Capitol. They need
not be without hope that salaries viii be
raised. 1t will not come by direct legis-
lation however, as il is clearly too late
in the session to frame legislation that
would adequately adjust q matter of such
great complexity and difficulty before
March T. This was set forth 10y Mr..
Payne. chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee In an interview al the White
House yesterday morning.
There is. nevertheless, one door of hope.
and its hinges are being quietly lubri-
Gated. The idea is to take up the recon-
meudations OF the Keep Commission to
level up the salaries I'm various bureaus
and departments. There are grades and
classes Of clerks and officials performing
the same class of duties in the various
parts Of the public service whose salaries
are absurdly varied I'm amounts. owing 10
piecemeaI legislation had from time Co
time In the many appropriation bills and
the legislation resorted 10 for the pur-
pose OF charging the scope and service
OF different branches of the executive
departments.
The movement toward this adjustment
of salaries has been under Roadway
among few leading legislators for some
time. and il promises 10 result i'm action
this session. 1t is estimated that the
general average increase of salaries
would be about "a per cent IT is obvious
that such plan would leave many thou
sands uurelieved from the condition Of
low pay, but it would be a long step
forward and might lay tho foundation
for a horizontal raise of salaries by the
next Congress
