NULIIFYING THE PURE FOOD
AND DRUGS ACT.

II the government experts keep on
interpreting" the pure food ana
drugs law, what the public has con
s.dered one of the best measures
passed by Congress in many year
will soon be rendered null and void.
Some time since, II was decided tha'

present day benzoate of soda Is OBJ

Only yesterday the solicitor general
Of the United States made report
TO the President which. If its recon-
mendations are followed by the gov
eminent. will nullify the effect OF the
pure food and drugs act as far as Wills

al holds that a mixture of whiskey
with alcohol or neutral spirits Is en-
titled to the name "whiskey.' Under
the ruling of the agricultural depart

sold to the PUBLIC as whiskcy.
