Parcels Post.

The desire of the governments of
France and the United States to con-
eluie a parcels post convention, where
by parcels post may be sent through
the mails between the two countries,
was one of the matters considered al

Meyers made the explanation that the
reply of France to the initial propos-
ition of the United States had been
received, and was referred to Secre-
tary Root, who viii indicate to the
French ambassador wherein the sug-.
gestions of his government will make
necessary variation in the uniform
convention in force between the
United States and all other European
countries, except Italy. Gen. Meyer
would not go so far as to say that
suggestions IF France could now be
complied with, but indicated that he
believed it possible for convincing
showing to be made as to the desir-
ability of adopting the uniform con-
vention.

Illegal Coal Land Entries.

At the last cabinet meeting of the
year 1907, the decision was reached
by the president and attorney gen.
sral Bonaparte that the government
win use every means in its power to
bring about in the higher courts dis
approval of the decision rendered in
Colorado by Judge Lewis that there
is no law against citizens agreeing
in advance to purchase coal or other
public lands that may be acquired
by others under what is known rs
the dummy entry man" system. At
torney General Bonaparte said after
the cabinet meeting that it was for
tunate that congress last year passed
a law giving the government the right
to appeal in criminal cases, as un-
doubtedly the government would APP
peal to its fullest extent against a
decision quashing indictments against
men charged with illegally acquiring
coal lands.

interesting phases besides the scenic
beauty and presidential cordially,
which constituted the entertainment

interest to more subtle observations.

May Change Food Labels.

The Board Of Food and Drug In
spection has sent an important let
ter to each Of the principal trade or
CARNATIONS interested in the admin
istration of the food and drugs act.
This relates to change which is
proposed by the board. It has been
found that the public is inclined to
misinterpret the words guaranteed
under the food and drugs act," which
are now carried ON the labels used by
all firms which have registered num-
Der under the act. There is no COM
plant of the action Of the trade in
using these words, they having been
adopted from the regulations of the
board itself but experience has shown
that they are likely to be misleading
to consumers who are not well In
formed as to the Specification of the
impression. Most persons, it is be-
lieved, understand the words to mean
that the article on which they ap-
pear is guaranteed by the United
States government, to be good or pure
or made as represented, when wha.
is meant is merely that the original
manufacturer warrants the retailer
that he will assume all liability for
prosecution that may be based upon
alleged nonconformity with the pro-
visions Of the food and drugs act.
1t is desired by the board to omit
from the labels the words ~guar-
anteed, under the food ami drugs
act" leaving merely the words User
ial No :" The board, however,
is not inclined to take this step un-
til it has been ascertained what would
be the effect upon the trade and how
much loss Of labels, etc., would re-
suit therefrom.
