Uncle Sam Tells How to Make Pure Pies

portant studies of the methods of
manufacture and preservation of foods
and drugs were the bleached flour in
vestigation, the lemon oil investiga-
tion, the whisky investigation and the
investigation Of nonfermented bever-
ages alleged to contain cocaine or
other Objectionable drugs.
The experimental work Of the bu-
reau Of chemistry, the enforcement of
the federal food and drugs act, numer-
Gus Investigations and the part played
by various states in the enactment of
laws regulating the manufacture and
sale of foods are some of the subjects
treated in the book. During the year,
out of "A legislatures which met, 40
enacted laws relating to the purity of
foods.
The bureau of Chemistry established
ten additional branch laboratories
throughout the country, where SAM
pies of food and drugs collected by in
spectors under the direction of chief
inspector are sent. During last year
7,041 samples of foods and drugs were
sent to these laboratories, resulting in
1913 hearings and the transmittal of IL
criminal cases to the department Of
justice for prosecution. One Of the
greatest difficulties encountered was
to secure sufficient number Of In
spectors or chemists possessing the
requisite training and experience in
foods and drugs.

Japanese Diplomat Stops a Runaway

shelter as it neared the spot where
Mr. Hanihara stood. The young
Japanese, who stands about five feet
and is small in proportion, lodged out
of the way, but no sooner had the
horse come abreast Of him than he
made leap for the bride. The ter
rife speed of the enraged animal
made him miss his hold and swung
him under the horses hoofs, but be-
fore he completely lost his hold he
caught grip on the bride and swing

horses back and bring him to his
knees. The animal regained his feet
however and by rearing, attempted
to throw Mr.. Hanihara from his back,
but the diplomat frightened his grip
gradually until the animal, snorting
with pain. confessed itself vanquished.
When Mr.. Hanihara reached the
embassy he summoned his physician
who found that the horse had tram
pied on his foot and crushed 1t badly.
Treatment afforded little relief, as
the bones were so badly bruised that

What Has Been Done

WHAT are the reforms that union
w labor is addressing itself to in
its effort to reach the good time COM
ing, and what means are being en-
ployed? In the first place it should be
noted we have come a long way al
ready. The hours of labor have been
reduced from sunrise and sunset to
ten and then to eight hours; Chinese
immigration has been stopped, as al
so the importation Of contract labor;
the sweatshop has been eliminated in
large measure and wages have been
advanced. That is worth while. We
have undertaken to abolish child la
Dor and will not cease until 1t Is &C.
complished and the child sent to
school. These are some of the things
We are working to accomplish. We
wish to secure the initiative and refer
endum and we are diligently at work
in every state to that end. The work
is progressing excellently. The ini-
tiative and referendum once secured 1t
will form an effective means toward
other reforms.

expose 1t easily.
National Lead Company. the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as guaranty OF
purity. on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity

World Movement

THE jurisdiction of the American
Federation of Labor extends over
North America, including Canada. Can
ada is well organized, especially On
tario, Quebec and the maritime prov
inces. A union card is good any
where in these places. Indeed, the
union card of England is accepted
here. England is very well unionized
and they have congress there that
is organized on lines similar to the
American Federation. Two delegates
attend the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor and
two delegates from the latter attend
the]i annual meeting. Germany,
France, Austria and Russia are well
organized, but there is no central
body there. They will be certain,
however, to follow the example that
they see works to such advantage with
us, and l look to see an interconti
mental organization of labor.

Aim of the Future

WHAT has been accomplished? The
w history of the labor movement
during the last quarter Of century
parallels in action and results the no.
blest of all permanent organizations,
that grandest of human achievements,
our republic, the United States of
America. 1t has, by the unselfish,
honest, energetic effort of her leaders;
the stability and fundamental right
eousness of her cause, destroyed the
barriers of ignorance and disdain, the
injustice of prejudiced critics, and has
made the great mass of the people be-
levers In the sincerity and stability of
'tS principles.
What has the future in store? If the
history of the past acts as the guide
for the future-and / know of no bet
ter guide than the lamp of experience
the results to be accomplished can
not but accord and merit a proper
position in the progress and prosper
ity of our country, and be the factor
for the preservation of the rights and
ideals OF free and enlightened peo-
pie. When the future records the
achievements of the past; when the
impartial verdict of the great events
is rendered, the shape of it's efforts
weighed in the balance will be no
mean proportion of the whole.
Determination of public issues in the
referendum of public opinion is the
aim OF the future.-Peter w. Collins,
President of the Boston Central Labor
Union.

Tic Wants of the Army.

The duke of Connaught is telling an
amusing story of his recent
visit Of inspection to Egypt.
While he was in Cairo he
went for a stroll one morning, and
on his way back to his quarters he
came face to face with an old English
man wearing the ribbon of the Indian
mutiny or his breast. The duke
stopped and spoke to the man about
his military service for some little
time.
Presently the man said, not knowing
of course, to whom he was speaking:
Are you in the army yourself, then,
sir?"
The duke smiled and admitted that
he was.
Getting on all right?" was the next
question.
The duke smiled again and said that
he had not very much to grumble at
on the whole, though perhaps he was
not doing quite so well as he could
wish.

TRADE UNIONISM
Its Methods and Its Goal.

THE trade union enables the fair en-
i ployer-who, like the fair unionist,
predominates-to estimate his labor
on living basis. This system is a
good deal preferable to figuring on
what his unfair competitor can pro-
cure his cheapest help for. Not only
that, but it is protection for the mer-
chant. 1t enables the trade unionist
to live as becomes an American citi-
zen, and has a powerful influence in
procuring fair compensation for the in
dividual whose conscience will not
permit him to join any combination in
this free CD competitive age. Again,
the union headquarters act as a clear
ing-house for the employer 1t is con-
venient to send there for additional
help.
The trade union is not f1awless by
any means. 1t is a good deal easier
to tear down than to build up, but the
latter course applied with intelligence
to the labor movement will overcome
many of its deficiencies. The gains
are greater than the losses. While the
dominant trait of human nature is
selfishness, just so long will we find
both sides endeavoring to get the best
of the industrial situation. The trade
union has come to stay. 1t is a natural
outgrowth of present-day conditions.

has no official social functions and
the squabbles about precedence never
have anything more than an indirect
effect upon diplomatic relations.
The minister created great deal
of talk among the many diplomatic

he had refused to participate, but be-
cause he allowed the hotel manage

The diplomatic view Is that Minis
