Pure Food Circular Issued by University

A very interesting bulletin has been
published by the agricultural expert
ment station of the University concern
! ing the pure food law and the standards
of purity adopted by the recent legis-
! lature
The law accepted by the state is
modelled after the national pure food
and drugs act of June 80, 1905, and is
somewhat similar to the laws adopted
10y North Dakota, Maine, Missouri and
several other states. The enforcement
of the law, including the inspection and
analysis Of samples will be done by the
chemistry department with Sanford G.
Dinsmorc and Miles b. Kennedy in
charge. In case after an examinations,
it is found that any article be adulter-
ated, it will be reported to the director
of the experiment station, who serves
notice on the. offending parties that
their goods are adulterated. The
parties are entitled to u hearing before
the board Of control of the experiment
station, which is the board of regents.
The offender may either appear in
person OF by attorney. If he does not
ap pear the matter is reported to the
district attorney, in whose district the
offense is committed, and the party
prosecuted.
This law is not intended to prevent
the manufacture and sale of Legitimate
food and drug products but it is for
the purpose of eliminating adulterated
and deleterious foods and drugs, and to
prevent the misbranding of goods sold
III the open market.
Work will be started OH January 1st.
1910, i'll order to give dealers time to
dispose of articles in their stock that
would be regarded as not being in &C
cordance with the new law. 1t is plan.
ned to make tours of inspection over the
state, taking samples of various food
products. These samples will be taken
to the laboratory and a very thorough
examination will be made. 1t will, of
course, be impossible to reach and
obtain samples of all such articles sold
in the state, but anyone who thinks
thai they have bought an article that
violates the law, may submit samples
and the analysis will he made free of
charge Professor Dinsmore states that
all dealers should become familiar with
this law, and should apply for these
pamphlets.
The laboratory is now being fitted up
for this purpose, and it will be equipped
with the latest and best forms of APP
paratus. One-half of the experiment
station laboratory will he devoted to
this work.

WHAT 1T WOULD DO

Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court points out that this
country is spending the stupendous sum
of 1865, O00,0 annually for war pur-
proposes. This is one million dollars a
day for every day in the year including
Sundays. 1t represents SiXty-five per
cent of the government expenses. Some
idea of what this means can he gained
by specializing on what this sum of
money would do for the American
people.
It would enable the government to
build 1000 homes superior in every
way to those occupied by ninety per-
cent of the inhabitants of the United
States at this time.
1t would enable the government to
pay 5000 per year to every boy and girl
under sixteen years of age, employed
in the sweat shops, cotton mills and
mines of the country.
1t would build and equip IL public
library III each state i'll the Union sur.
passing in beauty and design and mag
nificence the congressional library at
Washington.
1t would provide university educa-
ton for the children of the working
class and equip them mentally for the
battle of life.
This sum would provide home and
comfort for all men and women over
three score and ten.
1t would build hospitals for the sick
and intirm and provide highly skilled
physicians and attendants free of all
cost
This sum spent annually for ten years
would stamp ont the dread disease of
tuberculosis.
1t would build IL system of public
parks from ocean to ocean that would
make this old land really worth living
in.-Appeal

TO APPREHEND
BANK MANAGER
WARRANT ISSUED FOR ARREST
OF w. C. HAYS
Charge Made That Financial Man Vio-
lated New State Banking Laws
by overdrawing His Account
in Institution
LRv Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ia war
rant for the arrest of w. g. Hays, wee
president and manager of the Union
State bank, which was closed by State
Bank Superintendent Alden Anderson
last month, because of the muddled
condition of its affairs, issued today,
and the police were instructed to serve
it as soon as Hays could be found.
Superintendent Anderson swore to the
complaint, which charges that Hays
violated the new state banking law in
overdrawing his account with the
bank while an officer of the corpora
ton
The specific charge is the alleged
drawing of a check for $1,000, which
was declared to be a personal over
draft, thus rendering the writer of the
check liable to prosecution.
At the time of the closing of the
Union State bank an imperfect con-
soidation had been effected with the
State Savings and Commercial bank.
1t was owing to the tangle of accounts
growing out of this merger that Super
intendent Anderson deemed it wise to
close the doors of the institution. From
the superintendent report made pub
lie today, it appears that the total es-
timated loss of the combined institu-
tions is $4,000.
In his detailed statement, A. Wezel-
burger, an accountant engaged by An
derson to make expert investigation of
the books of the two banks, charged
that Hays drew $245O from the Union
State bank when he had no funds on
deposit and that various Irregularities
in stock transfers were shown. The
affairs of the bank are characterized
in Wenzelburger's report as having
been conducted with criminal negli-
gence"

r, Van SAINT, former governor of Min

Both elections were held in eXecu-
tive session.
The Grand Army's order of business

sion of the will of the majority.

the following officers were elected;
Senior vice commander-Judge AL
fred Beers, Bristol. Conn.
Surgeon general-W. II. Lemon, Law
renee, Kans.
Nominations for the office of chap
lain were made, but the vote was
postponed owing to the lateness of the
hour. The election of chaplain and
the decision as to the next meeting
place went over until tomorrow morn
ing A poll taken today indicates that
the chances of st. Louis for the forty
fourth encampment are much brighter.
Atlantic City, the other aspirant, does
not want the eRcampment in August
and the veterans are loath to change
the month of meeting.
Little Business Transacted
Delegates said that no business Of
public interest except the annual ad-
dress of the retiring commander, Henry
M. Nevius, and the election of officers

DRIVERS TAKE REST
ON EVE OF BIG RUN
Motordom on oul Vive Over Locomo-
bile and Stearns $4,000 Contest
on Sunday-cars In
Fine Shape

Yesterday was a quiet day for the
two racing drivers, who will perform
with the StearnS and Locomobile cars
next Sunday at Ascot park for stake
of $4,000. Soules and Free, the lat
ter of whom it is now practically de-
cided will drive the Locomobile car, are
in perfect fettle for their daredevil run
of 300 miles.
The cars themselves were in the
hands of careful and skillful machin-
lists, who were busily engaged in the
final tuning up the cars will receive
preparatory to the race, and no ngnter
was ever more carefully trained than
have been these two demons of the
track, said to be able to knock out
eighty miles per hour on a good track.
Every screw and bolt, every rivet
and piece of the cars has been torn
down, carefully inspected and returned
to place, and every vestige of un-
necessary material removed for the
road fray. 49,
Perhaps the most unconcerned men
in town are the two drivers. Neither
eyinced the slightest excitement over
the approaching trial. AS each part
was replaced where it belonged, they
were called and examined the work
done, passing it as o. K. or suggesting
some minor change.
Today Free and Soules will be on
the track Tor nnal prdcllce run VI
about ten miles, and then the racing
machines will be taken to their re-
spective garages to remain until taken
to the track Sunday morning. Record
breaking time is not anticipated on
account of the track conditions, but
the pace that will be set will be hot
enough for men and onlookers, with
the possibility that the keen rivalry
of the drivers to capture the stake for
their employers may drive them to
take more desperate chances than they
would otherwise. An enormous crowd
is anticipated at the contest.

state that commencing August 20 the
steamer Mauretania and all New York

guard to land passengers and mail for
London, the continent and other places
wi N "a fhTnIlph
port at Fishguard. Calling at Fish
guard will materially shorten the jour
ney between New York and London
and the continent and as this port is
considerable distance from Liverpool,
it will shorten the distance by rail
from London. Immediate train con-
nections will be made by the Great
Western railway for London.
