The Governments pure food expert
has been the first TO demand almost
every one Of the present reforms IN
handling foods and drugs. and the man

nights thinking up new campaigns, so
that a confession from Or. Wiley that
in the newest move he is merely fol-
lowing the Patent OfIce IS astonishing
In a circular Of the hoard Of food
and drug inspection nov, in the mails
for all the big manufacturers. Dr. WI
ley and his associates agree that the
Commissioner Of Patents wisely order
ed that no more trade marks bear the
term Guaranteed under the food and
drugs act" The board orders that
within two years all labels OF food and
drugs make Il clear that the guaranty
is by the manufacturer and not by the
Government.
