Ladd's Recommendations.
.sIn my Judgment the time has
come when it is most ESSENTIAL for the
future welfare Of the association
and the cause it representes that we
have our own official organ-a jour
nal by and under the control of the
association. At first it may be pub
Hshed bi-monthly, or even quarterly.
1t should have strong corps of edi-
tors and associates and should not
accept advertising from manufacture
ers of food products or beverages. /
made this recommendation to the as
ISOLATION and the matter was referred
to special committee. I
81 also recommended that all food
and drug products be sold by true
weight and measure and the associa-
tion drew up resolutions to that eff
feet. In this connection / also rec
commended that the date of manufac-
ture of all food and drug products
be included in the pure food label,
which met with the hearty approval
of the association by a resolution,
and the matter was referred to Sen
ator Beveridge to secure legislation
to this effect
To Draft Model Laws.
zone of the most important matters
transacted which was recommended
| by me was the appointment of 9
committee for the purpose of draw,
ing up a model food and drug law
| in order to secure a uniformity OF
state laws in the various common
wealths Such law would be Of
great benefit to the cause in new
states. Without exception hav,
found that in states drafting law
or amending old ones, great pressure
has been brought to bear by the man
. ufacturers and combined with the ig
norance of these drafting the codes
a vast number of loop-holes through
/ which the adulterating manufactur
er could creep, have been left.
These model laws would greatl.
benefit the cause as where new state
were making laws or where old law
were being amended, a copy Of tn
model law could be sent to the com
pliers for their guidance and loca
conditions will then make supplement
tary laws necessary. IN order to cor
rect local or temporary evils.
II was appointed chairman Of thi
committee and we, hope to secure q
far as possible uniformity in stat
! laws.
Sanitary Inspection Law.
I'm the consideration Of nearly a,
OF the members Of the association
the action taken on the establish
ment of a sanitary inspection Law
the purpose of which Is to create
board of inspection of the sanitar
conditions of all places where foo
Is manufactured or stored or served
In my Judgment the time had com
| when sanitary inspection should b
4 made part Of the work OF thes
y, departments and I so recommends
, with the result that committee wa
appointed to draw up bill coverin
/ these points.
A Time to Strike Hard.
"In my estimation the twelfth an
