BITTER FIGHT ON
7 H E PATENT
MEDICINES
Especial to The sentinel.l

Washington. July 17.-Medical ex
perts of the department of agriculture
today began preparations for making n
widespread warfare patent med
cines and proprietary articles. A test
case. resulting from the seizure of n
large stock of medical and toilet prep
arations from Washington depart
ment store. will decide the success or
failure the movement. The goods
seized We're mainly the products of
wed known manufacturer of beau
tifying" preparations. This concern
has engaged attorneys to fight the
case. and will have the assistance of
many other similar companies.
1t is alleged by the government ex-
perts that the articles are misbranded
in violation of the pure food act and
are liable to condemnation and con-
fiscation. for the reason that the pack
ages and labels bear certain statements
regarding the drugs which are false
and misleading-that is to say, that
certain fertilizer tablets" are "A spe-
cific for curing flatulency and all gas
trio troubles" and are "a cure for
obesity "And said last st-mentioned
statements" continues the libel. are
false and misleading in this, that the
said aforementioned drug is not a spe-
cific for curing flatulency and gastric
troubles and is not cure for obesity"
The Blush of Youth" preparation is
declared misbranded. in that 1t does
not restore the complexion to child
like purity, and the Excelsior Skin
Food" is declared not to be "A food for
the skin and both are therefore mis-
branded in violation of the pure food
act. The mixtures seized are known
as the Madame Yale" preparations.
The Department of Agriculture intends
to make n test case of the seizure. 1t
is the first of its kind under the law.

THE SHEATH GOWN
DENOUNCED BY
THE QUEEN

London. July l7-What is known as
the directoire or sheath gown will be
confined in England to actresses and
women of the lower classes" No
woman in London society will dare
wear the clinging gowns which have
created such a sensation on the con-
tinent. When the directoire mode first
made its appearance, several English
society leaders received it kindly and
for time the sheath gown was in
high favor Now it is back to the
moth balls or the second hand clothes
men for these daring gowns. For
Queen Alexandra has spoke, and what
she said in regard to the directoire
mode was in American slang, a plenty.
Her Majesty has caused it to be
known that any woman wearing a pro-
nounced directoire will not be received
at court functions. The Queen told her
ladies in waiting that the new gowns
are immodcst and caused caustic
warning to he conveyed to a certain
titled lady distinguished for her beau
tiful figure who displayed it at Ascot
in directoire sheath. The ladies in
waiting have been also commanded to
notify other titled women of her Ma
testy's displeasure with the revealing
directoire costumes.
At big ball three ladies wearing
these emphatic gowns could scarcely
make their courtesies to the Queen,
and at supper they found much diff
Guilty in sitting down. SO displeased
was the Queen at this unpleasant ex
hibition that she expressed her indig
nation openly and left the ball before
supper was ended.
As result of Her Majesty's decision.
many smart society women with good
rnp rha
fat women. and the scrawny ones. are
exultant. and declare that the queen
did well to put the ban of her displeas-
ure upon such ''immodest' and ''vul-
gar displays of the figure as afforded
by the sheath gown.

WEAR ONLY WHITE SHIRTS.

London, July 1I.-White clothing is
the best protection against sunstroke
and heat prostration, according to the
Lancet. the leading British medical
journal. White attire, and especially
white shirts is also recommended on
the ground of cleanliness and freedom
from disease germs.
when man finds it convenient to
wear colored shirts and cuffs is the
medical journals lofty argument ''it
means in reality that he can carry dirt
fora little longer without giving Of

CHANGE MADE IN
FOREST SERVICE

have been constantly brought closer
together.
A second step in the same direction
was the recent transfer of headquar-
ters for supplies from Washington, ID.
c.. to ogden. Utah
a third step was the placing of a
branch of the office of engineering.
which has charge of permanent i'm
provements on the forests. also at Og-
den which is centrally located.
The contemplated change rs. there
fore merely the completion of plan
which has already been partially
worked out.
Probably one-third of the clerical
force now in Washington, mainly
stenographers and typewriters. Will go
west to complete the organization re-
quired in each field district. 1t is ex-
pected that a sufficient number of
clerks in the Washington office will
desire assignments to the field head
quarters, so that it will not be neces-
sary to send to the field those who do
not wish to go. and no new appoint
ments will be necessary In making
selections for the new posts the In
dividual preferences of the clerks Will
be consulted so far as the work per-
mits.
The change will not affect the form
of organization of the forest service
in Washington. The Offices will be
retained as at present. but with
smaller force. All of the investigative
work done by the service, except that
directly connected with the adminis-
tration of the national forests. Will
continue to be directed from WASH
ington.

In order to expedite and render more
objective and economical the work OF

the clerical force needed to compiete

fror, tbe force now employed in the
washington office. The change VIII
toto place not later than January l.
1909. and will probably begin by octo-
Der 1 of the present year
At present the national forests are
grouped under six districts with mead
Quarters as follows: District l. MIS-
so,,ra Mont: district .. Denver. Colo; !;
.,,strict a Albuoueruue. N NJ; district
A salt Lake city. Utah; district D. San
I,rapcisco Cal, and district 6. Port
LA ore These headquarters VIII
remain unchanged under the new plan
of administration. Each district VIII
be in charge of assistant forester
who will deal directly with the super
visor of the forests of his district on
ly questions of special Importance will
be submitted to the Washington ONCE
for action. In this way the regular
business of the forests will be much
expedited. while the men who have
charge of the business will be in al
of the forests
The men to take charge of the sew
eral districts have not as yet been Sc
lected but they will be chosen from
those in the regular service force who
have had most experience in the work
on the national forests
The growth of business on national
forests resulting from the use of their
resources by the public. has been
steady and rapid since the policy OF
wide use supplanted that or restricted
use. at the time when the management
of the national forests was placed un-
der the forest service.
One of the big problems of admin
istration has been to get into close
touch with the users of the national
forests and this has already been par
TALLY solved by various expeaieh's'
such as delegating to local forest OF
ficers the authority to transact large
part of the national forest business

A library burglar is lin right to

through the building to his complete
satisfaction during the night.
All that he found in the way Of
filthy ucre" was $250 in cash which
Mrs. j. T. Sawyer had left in the cash
drawer. 1t may have been that some
disgruntied book borrower was after
some fine which he had been obliged
to pay for keeping a book too long,
or it may be that there are burglars
who have such a passion for books
that they take delight in breaking into
a library.
1t is also possible that there was a
real gentleman burglar, a Raffes in
town, who made a raid on the library
for the purpose of pouring over Balzac
or Dickens during the night and then
borrowed the $3.50 in order to get a
breakfast
At any rate when the janitor entered
the library this morning he discovered
that some one had arrived a little be
