TROUBLE is GOING TO
COME TO THE DEALER
In Placing a COnStruC-
ton
UPON NEW FOOD AND DRUG LAW
Law Requires That Guarantee Must
Be From Person Who Sold Goods
to Retailer Information is
Needed.

Trouble in huge chunks is said to
dealers in food and drug pro-
ducts, under the construction placed
upon the pure food and drugs
act by the department of agriculture,
says Washington dispatch.
Under the law the manufactures OF
particular line of food or drug pro-
ducts may obtain from the depart
ment of agriculture guaranty of the
wholesomeness of products. A serial
number is issued as an Identification OF
products inspected.
Until recently 1T was supposed that
this guaranty would hold good through
out the distribution and sale of the
products, but the department of agri-
culture holds that it does not.
The law requires that the guaranty
shall be from the persons who sold IL q
goods to the retailer.
Thus, If A. 81 Co. sell to B. & Co.,
and give guaranty, the formers guar
ty is not valid defense for G.. & Co.
against any action under the food and
drugs act, as the last named purchased
the goods from B. 81 Co.
1t is the intention of the agricultural
department soon to issue regulation
regarding this matter, which probably
will create wide interest among job
bers and wholesale dealers ali over the
country.

said that the property should be taxed

WORK TREATMENT IN DISEASE.
Especially Successful With the Mental.
iy Affected.

Some interesting experiments CON
Quoted at the State Institution at
Mauer Oehling have completely demon.
strated the great value of work at a
means of healing in various forms of
chronic illness, especially in mental
and nervous disorders, alcoholism and
epilepsy.
Under the supervision of DR.. Star
linger. the chief of the institution, no
less than 81 per cent of the patients
are engaged in some kind Of occupa-
ton. The majority are employed in
farm, dairy and garden work, while
others turn their attention to mechan-
teal trades, including the production
of a newspaper. which is printed and
also largely written by the inmates.
1t has been found that the mentally
affected and those suffering from al
coholism make the most willing and
efficient workers. Work has a quiet
ing influence and renders the patients
much more satisfied.
The favorable effect on their physi-
cal condition is shown from the fact
that the number of deaths from tuber-
culosis have steadily decreased since
the introduction Of the work treat
ment. although the number of patients
has constantly increased.
One other good effect of the work
treatment Is that the general public
b found to lose much Of it's dread OF
asylums when it sees the patients en-.
gagged in some useful occupation.

Origin of

The origin Of the expression wind
fall,' which is used when one wishes
tt refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time of William the Con-
queror. At that time 1t was a criminal
offense to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent All that
could be gathered for fuel or other pur-
poses was such limbs as the wind
should happen to break and cast to the
ground. On this account the peasants
hailed a windstorm as a blessing. be-
cause it was apt to cast enough OF
"windfalls'' for winter frewood. From
this old-time forestry custom comes the
modern application of the expression.
