DECLARES FLY'S BODY
REEkS WITH BACTERIA
FOOD LAW EXPONENT MAKES
STARTLING STATEMENT
Seven Men Fined for Violating Pure
Edible Ordinances Take Ap-
peals from Justice to
Higher Courts

How many bacteria are there on the
body of a common fly? Just 1,222,570,
according to Deputy District Attorney
II. S. G. Mccartney, father of the Cali
fornia pure food law, who is fighting
in the courts to prevent the law being
declared unconstitutional
The legal battle was begun yesterday
in Judge Davis department OF the SUI
perior court where seven appeals were
taken from the decisions of Justices
who had imposed fines. The men who
carried their cases to the higher court
are N. Kaplan, W. w. Smith, Joseph
Riebaldi, George Geds, Ernest Gerle-
mann. e. Beekoff, q. Peterman and w.
Stormer, all of whom were tried and
found guilty of violating the pure food
law by leaving fruit uncovered and
exposed to dust and insects.
Behind the appeals, however, Is said
to be an organization of grocers and
vendors of fruit, who have contributed
to a generous fund for the purpose
OF carrying the matter to the highest
court, and if possible, knocking out
the law.
Argue for Appellants
ATTORNEYS Hahn and Stick argued for
the annellants yesterday, contending
the law is impracticable and unreason-
able. They cited several oeclsloIiS ;
which they believe are applicable ana
referred Judge Davis to the writings Oh
sundry persons to prove that persons
cannot be injured by eating fruit which
has been exposed.
Senator Mccartney also cited deci-
sions rendered by courts in other states
where the law has been enacted. In
addition he read from publications OF
recent date to show investigation mas
proved there Is no such thlhg as
clean fly. -.
Microscopic examinations made by
tha health authorities Of New YORK IN
1907, he said, showed that the average
tIyee1 J1Iv 27 and August 20, the
height of fly time. carried on its body
1,222,570 bacteria. -. 49,,
Judge Davis gave the appellants ten IN

eordance with the agreement made be-
tween the heirs several weeks ago.

bate OF the viii yesterday, Attorney
Hutehison again accused certain per-
sons, whose names he did not give. as
well as the attorneys opposed to him,
of keeping Miss Uhalt out of the coun-
try, to which Attorney Winder and
former Governor Gage made a strong
protest.

Picture OF Health
After Wh00pin4 Cough

Mr.. A. B. Tillapaugh, of
Chesterton, Ind, says his
little daughters lungs were
left very weak after a
severe attack of whooping
cough. For years they
tried various remedies
without good results;
finally, when the case
seemed almost hopeless
they tried Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey with mar
yelOuS success.
Mr. Tillapaugh writes: "My lit.
tie daughter, who is now 2 years old,
at the age of 7 months had severe
attack of whoopihg cough, which
left her lungs in very weakened
condition. She grew worse in spite
of all we could do. Different doctors
prescribed for her, but without eff
feet. We dragged along this way
for nearly six years, almost hopeless
but not conquered.
"a friend advised Duffy's Malt
Whiskey and | procured a bottle,
That was about FIVE months ago.
The first dose seemed to help her,
and she is now at school and | think
about cured. Thank God, my little
girl is now the picture of health
The little sufferers from whoop-
ing cough, measles and the other
diseases incident to childhood often
become physical wrecks from the
severity of the attacks and yield to
other diseases vastly more fatal.

GOVERNMENT SHORT CHANGED
In Customs Duties on Imported Beers
Change in Regulations.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Satished that
the government has been short
changed either Intentionally or un-
Intentionally, in the matter of Gus
toms dues on imported beers, Assist
ant Secretary Reynolds of the treas
ury department today promulgated a
change in the customs regulations to
remedy this situation.
In accordance with the regulations
now in force, an allowance is made
Ior leakage or shrinkage in beers i'm
ported in barrels or casks, and no du-
ties are collected on that amount. 1t
has come to the attention of the Of
4cials, however, that the importers
we're selling the beer on the invoices,
)ut making no allowance to their Gus
lomers for leakage or shrinkage. The
practice did not appeal to the treas
Dry officials as quite a square deal. In
his instructions to collectors of GUS
loms, Secretary Reynolds says:
"On and after August is, 1909, du-
fes will be assessed on beer imported
n barrels or casks on the basis of the
invoice quantity whenever the same
,s equal to or exceeds the capacity
branded on the barrels or casks in
fters. Fractions of liter will not
De considered.
IF the total invoice quantity is
lound to be less than the total brand
I'd capacity of all the barrels or casks
lowered by the invoice, the entry will
)e liquidated upon the quantity shown
)y the branded capacity"
Detailed instructions also are Civ
IN for ascertaining the exact capacity
VI the barrels and casks, in order that,
while the government is collecting it's
nst dues, no injustice may be done
% the importers.
