JOS6eRS' TROUBLES.
The New Law Will Worry Dealers In
 Food and Drugs.

ashlngtor, h. C.-Trouble Is brewing for jobbers and wholesale dealers of food and drug products un- der the construction placed upon the pure food and drugs act by the depart. ment Of agriculture. Under the law the manufacturer Of a particular line 0f food CT drug products may obtain from the department guaranty of the purity or wholesomeness of products To the manufacturer whose products have been passed upon by officials Of the department of agriculture. a serial number Is issued as an identification of the products inspected and found to be manufactured and labeled in ac. eordance with the law. Until re. gently It was supposed that this guar. anty would hold good throughout the distribution and sale of the products. but the department of agriculture holds that it does not.
 The new law requires that the guar anty shall be from the person who sold the goods to the person charged with the onense. Thus if A X Co. sell To X Co. and give guaranty. the formers guaranty is not valid de. fense for X Co. against any action under the food and drugs act. as the last named purchased the goods from B and Go. It is the intention of the agricultural department soon to issue regulation regarding this matter. which probable will create wide inter est among jobbers and wholesale deal CTS all over the country. It will be necessary for them. in order fully to protect their interests, to Insist upon direct guaranties from all those from whom they purchase food and drug products.
