HiQh School Football Team Has
Chance for Trip.
MUST WIN NORTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP
YEARS MIGHT MEAN VICTORY
OVER SPOKANE AND SEATTLE

If Walla Walla high school turns
out a football team next year equal
to that of three years ago this city
may have the honor of representing
the west in a game for the champion
ship of the United States at Chicago.
The Chicago team which played with
Seattle recently has offered to bring
east next year the championship high
school team of the northwest. To win
this honor Walla Walla will have to
defeat both Seattle and Spokane but
if she has the team she once had, this
might be done.
The authority for the offer of the
Chicago boys comes from Prof Edward
Crane, head of the manual training de-
parment in the public schools, of Spo-
kane, who has returned Saturday from
Seattle and states that arrangements
have been made by Chicago for the
playing of the big game in Chicago
next year. He states that Chicago
mas promised to take east the north
west champions.

STILL SELL 'DOPED' FOOD.
Small Type for List Of Adutterants Lat

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-There is a
general impression that the pure food
law, which went into effect on the first
day of 1907, prohibits the selling of
anything but pure food. 1t does moth
ing of the kind The law provides
that whatever is sold as food or drink
must be labeled as just what it is.
But the law fails to dictate what size
type shall be used in the labels. 1t is
also defective in the sections relating
to short-weight cans and jars and
shOrt-measure bottles.
In consequence the cans and jars
and bottles are of the same old size
and the parts of the labels in which
the various ingredients are described
are printed in type barely distinguish
able to the naked eye.
