FOOD LAW EFFECTIVE
PROPOSED TEST CASE TO SECURE
INTERPRETATION.

The new pure food law requiring accu-
rate labelling of food products having gone
into effect today, the Department of JUS
tice is actively preparing for a campaign in
enforcement of the statute. This Is particu-
larly true with reference to the labelling of
blended WHISTLES, and arrangements have
practically been concluded between the de-
partments of Agriculture and Justice on
the one hand and the Whisky Rectif1ers'
Association on the other to bring test
case in court TO secure an Interpretation OF
certain phases Of the new regulation. The
Department of Justice has been In corre-
spondence with Warwick NJ. Hough, presi-
dent of the rectifiers' association, and most
of the preliminaries to securing meeting
before a trial Judge have been conducted
through him.
At the Department of Justice today 1t
was stated that Attorney General Bona
parte has in course OF preparat on a sched-
ule of stipulations. and that the presenta-
ton Of this schedule to the officers of the
rectifiers' association Is probably the last
step to be taken before q test case comes to
trial
In Form Of Agreement.
The stipulations are simply In the form
of an agreement concerning the constituent
elements of blended whisky, and the OBJ
ject of the schedule is to obviate the neces-
sity OF the government proving the ele-
ments when the case is taken before trial
Judge.
According to the letter OF the law It is re-
uulred that the filing of case in court
shall be preceded by the issue Of a warrant
for the seizure of property and the I'M
pounding OF the property seized. This re-
quirement will be met by the formal seizure
of a designated shipment of whisky, which
will become the basis of the suit. In the
trial the court will be asked to decide just
what shall be printed on the label of bot
tie which contains the various ingredients
described as entering into the composition
Of blended whisky.
No arrests have been made and none is
in contemplation.

continued: al

Edith must wear q. pure white dress.
Marjorie a white dress with pink sash
and ribbons.

III wear a plain little brown dress.
Nov, what are we?'' asked Edna.
Mother looked puzzled and so did Edna's
older brother and sister. They suggested
some W but to them all Edna shook
her golden curls. Finally they gave 1t up
and Edna explained:
Why, Ruth in red and white is pepper
mint.
Edith in pure white, she's marshmallow.
Marjorie in white dress. with a pink
sash and ribbons, is popcorn.
Isabelle in yellow and white is lemon
andy.
And 1 in my plain brown dress-why.
I'm lust nudge, of course. My party Is a

Now. Nancy, whatever shall l do
With such a careless doll as you2
I'm just as 'shamed as l can be;
Now you sit still and look at me.
I'm talking serious for your good.
You could be better IL you would.
Your dress is torn; II great big tear;
One shoe is gone no one knows where.
You do not know 1t grleyes me, Miss,
To talk to you as solemn as this.
Now Nancy. l think you should shoulder
Some 'sponsibility now you're Older.
Quite clean yop should keep your hand
and face,
And put your clothes away in place,
take some care of my dolls and toys
And not make so much trouble n noise
my other dolls are litter, o see;
n one is sick as sick can be.
Poor Polly fell and broke her head,
so l put her right 70 bed.

And will try and do better another day.

UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY TALK

My Dear Girls and Boys:
The newspapers of n century ago were
very different from those of today. They
were serious sheets intended for business
offices. and were delivered by special mes
senRers. The man who first thought or a
bright. newsy and cheap piper is almost
unknown. He was Horatio d. Sheppard,
and strange to say he was not a journal
ist. He was a student Of medicine, who
used to pass daily through Chatham street,
New YORK, where all sorts of things were
sold for a few cents. He noticed that Inc
cheapest articles sold most readily. NO
body seemed to mind spending a cent.
/ Suddenly the thought of a lone-eent news
paper came to his mind-to be sold by
boys, just as peanuts and candy were
sold. !.
Sheppard tried to interest the printers or
the town in his plan. They laughed at
IT, as people laughed when Fulton SPOKE
OF a steamboat. To sell newspapers iiAe
cakes seemed ridiculous.
One printer, however. listened to. Snep-
pard. This was Horace Greeley. He was
born in New England in 1911, coming 70
New York Mt 90 years Ct age. he eAcissa
ridicule by mis- homespun clothes, p'it
soon people realized that despite ms
clothes and peculiar appearance, Horace
Greeley knew what he was about. With a
friend named Story he formed a partner
ship. They agreed TO publish Sheppard's
paper. but insisted that the price must De
two cents. On January !. 1888. the Morn
ing Post was issued amid a terrible sno"
storm.
There were few people in the streets;
the newsboys were soon chilled and were
glad TO run home. The Post lived just TWO
weeks and three days, and then appearet
no more. The venture, however, was not
a failure. for from 1t the modern news
paper was developed.
Don't you think its originator. Horatio
D. Sheppard, would be surprised could ne
see one OF our big newspapers with news
In It for every member of the family not
ncglecting the boys and girls. but giving
them n 'children's page devoted exclu-

AND JUDY I'm CHINA

1t may interest young readers to know
how this entertainment originated In
China 1t will, no doubt, surprise Older
ones to know that it dates back to about
LOCO years before Christ.
rastv was making a tour through the
empire. a skilled mechanic, named Yen
Shih, was brought into his presence to
entertain him and the ladies of his court
which not only were capable of dancing
but of accompanying their movements
with song.
During the performance the puppets
cast such significant ~glances toward the
ladies' that the Emperor became angry
and ordered the execution of the orlgina.

the puppets and proved to his astonishet
majesty that they were artificial. Instead
of being executed Yen Shih was allowed
to repeat the performance. which cor

So step right up when o see a nance
And push with a right good will.
