AIabama'S Pure Food Law

No doubt special interests did sue
coed in the upper house of the re-
cent extra session in weaving into the
new pure food law many unwise
amendments. Those amendments were
adopted to serve special interests,
very much as duties were inserted in
the Aldrich- Cannon tariff bill, but still
there was much power for good left
in the bill, and Commissioner Of Agri-
culture Wilkinson is getting ready to
carry its provisions into effect. The
law of the state relates not only to
human food but to food for stock also.
All mixed feeds are to be registered
and an analysis is to be furnished to
all buyers.
The entire civilized world is consid-
ering the food we eat. On October
IL congress will begin to sit in Paris
to deal with the food of the world and
to consider its purity. Twenty-one
countries will be represented in it
by 600 delegates. and the list Of food
ututfs to be studied will include wines.
