|Srare Dentists
Wont New Law
BILL is BEING PREPARED FOR
LEolsLATuRE-WiLL REM
EDY DEFECTS.

MoRGANTowN, Jan. 2.-Dr. n.
NJ. Van voorhis of this city is engag-
ed in framing q new bill which will
be presented at the coming session
of the legislature. The proposed act
is expected to be a great improve
ment owe the old law. The State
dental board will have more power
and It will be impossible for any one
not thoroughly schooled in dentistry
TO practice in the State. Another
section explaining the term dental
student Is also given. Heretofore this
has been construed to be any per
son who worked in a dental office.
The new law provides that the term
shall apply only to bona ade students
who are pursuing the dental course
in n of the decognized dental
schools Of the country.
The present law provides for a
board of dental examiners consisting
Of FIVE practicing dentists appointed
by the governor for a term of four
years. Every applicant desiring to
practice dentistry in this State, must
pass an examination before the board
and receive from It a certificate of
registration. for which a fee Of $40
for the certificate and a fee Of $1l
for the examination is charged.
The law is deficient in some re.
spects. This board is not required
to do so, and has never voluntarily
made any report to any central au
thority for the Information of the
public. The power OF the State seen,S
merely to have been lent to the pro-
fession to regulate the licensing Of
practitionrs by those already II
practice, without rendering the State
any report of the acts of the board.

Food Law
Now Operative
ACT PREscRieiNo AGAINST SUB
sTiTuTIoN AND DECEPTION
GOES INTO FORCE o-pAY.

P~ITTSBURG, Jan. 2.-Beginning to.
day the national pure food law be-
comes operative, and manufacturers
Of impure, %adulterated and mislabeled
foods become subject to a fine of $500.
or one years imprisonment, or both,
for every offense.
State laws conforming with and
strengthening the provisions of the
national act, have been passed by sew
eral legislatures. and a special pure
food bill for Pennsylvania will be In
troduced in the legislature. which
convened in Harrisburg yesterday.
The national act will guard against
the old practice Of food manufacture
ers making their product in one State
and shipping 1t into another. thereby
keeping outside Of the Jurisdiction of
the State courts In which their goods
are sold.
The new congressional act is very
detailed and specific. but in a word
prescribes that no injurious coIoring
matter or adulterates be used: that
such foreign ingredients as may be
introduced must be announced on
the package. and that the label must
in no wise be deceiving or false. Pro-
visions applying to drugs and medi.
cines strongly prescribe against SUBJ
stitutfon and imitation, and declare
that the presence of all poisonous in.
gradients must be announced on the
package.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture has interpreted portions
of the new act relating to whfskey to
provide that blended spirits do not
constitute whiskey and cannot be call
ed such on labels. Blending interests
in Pennsylvania and Maryland have
strongly demurred against this inter-
probation. and Secretary Wilson, Chief
Chemist Wiley and Counsel McCabe of
the department of agriculture will ar.
rive in this city on Friday to hear ar
guments.
Among the other legislative acts o.
congress becoming effective are the
free alcohol and the anti.pass section
of the Interstate commerce law.
