PURE FOOD LAW.
Possible Raise in Price of Ice Cream
Soda

1t Is said to be a foregone conclusion that
every member of the Washington Retail
Druggists Association will raise the price
of ice cream soda to 10 cents a glass this
summer as result of the enactment of the
pure food and drug act. Officials of the
local health department expect that other
druggists, not members of the association
will also increase the price
Not only will the consumers of ice cream
soda be affected but, because of the pro-
vision which requires ice cream to contain
10 per cent of butter fat or pure cream,
the officials are confident that all ice cream
and hokeypokey dealers will either in
crease the price of the article or else give
smaller quantity for prevailing prices
At q recent meeting of the Washington
branch of the National Association of Re-
tail Druggists It vas recommended that 10
cents be made the price for glass of ice
cream soda. y member of this association
stated today that the provisions Of the
law natural guarantee the consumer re-
eeivins the richest and purest form of ice
cream.
In speaking OF the increase In the cost Of
Ice cream, tie possible effect IL will have
on the public and the desire for pure food
Health officer Woodward made the follow
ing statement today:
The public must eventually pay the cost
for pure food Dealers cannot reasonably
be expected to sell at the now prevailing
prices II the cost be Increased and any
rise in the price in the necessaries of life
above the high figures that now prevail

pie, both those who are Americans by birth
and those who have been AmericaniZed by

cheap, but, on the other hand, 1t is prob
ably equally true that they do not want to
be compelled by law to pay two prices for
food merely because it is aesthetically kept.
Doubtless those who can afford to do so
will cheerfully pay for the aesthetic keep

NEW YORK, March 27-James Bryce,
States, was the guest of the New York
Chamber of Commerce yesterday at a re-
ception, and in a speech to the members
he expressed the belief that this country's
prosperity would not only continue, but
would increase. The stock f1urries accord
ing to Mr.. Bryce, were not to be regarded
as any more alarming than changes in the
temperature. AS the country progressed,
he added, the bonds of friendship between
Great Britain and the United States would
become stronger.
The reception brought out many members
of the chamber who are seldom seen in the
building on Liberty street When Mr..
Bryce entered the large meeting room it
was crowded The room was decorated
with American and British flags.
John S. Kennedy presided, owing TO the
illness of Morris X. Jesup. Mr.. Kennedy
welcomed Mr.. Bryce, and then ex-Mavor
Seth Low greeted the ambassador on be-
half of the chamber. Much of Mr. Lows
speech was devoted to the spread of Eng,
fish commerce and the comparatively re-
cent activity of this country as a colonizer.
While there were many differences between
mother and daughter" Mr. Low said,
there was the same love of liberty in both,
and other ties of literature, language and
jurisprudence bound the two together. To
Mr.. Bryce, by way of welcome, he said:
1--WE welcome you today first of all in
your representative capacity as ambassa-
dor of the great country which We of the
chamber of commerce. at least will not
hesitate to speak of as the mother country,
because the charter of the chamber was
granted in colonial days, when New York

This is what Ambassador Bryce
had to say of the relationship of

No wise man wants to quarrel to

take from one another what each
needs are obliged to feel an interest
in one another's welfare; they are
obliged to desire to maintain peace
with one another. Trade needs peace
and trade needs security; and I look
upon the unprecedented growth of
trade between you and Great Britain,
a trade which 1 believe has reached

can produce best and can produce
most cheaply, and should send. 1t to
