AN DRUG LINE

Will Put Many Manufacturers Of Nos

ment to Prosecute Adver-
Using Fakirs.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-Plans
for extending the present federal con-
troll of food and drug labels so as to
cover newspaper advertising were dis
cussed today at a conference of Off
Gals of the agricultural department.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the depart
ment's authority on poisons, believes
that there is urgent need for a drastic
federal censorship os such food and
drug advertising. 1t was to consider
his proposal on this subject thai the
conference was called.
Although many quacks and manu-
facturers of adulterated foods and
spurious medicines nave been put out
of business merely by barring their
circulars from the mails, others, more
! powerful, have survived this measure
by turning to the newspapers. and
| flooding the country with their adyer--
tisements.
Up to the present time this has been
a safe ekpedient for the men who have
been getting a gullible public to invest
in their worthless and often danger
Gus wares. If DR.. Wilcy's plan is car
ried out, however, Uncle Sam may un-
dertake the prosecution of all adver-
tisers who sell through the medium of
newspapers and magazines wares
which they cannot push with circulars
and which fail to come up to the re-
quirements of the food and drug act.

drink but coffee and water.
And 80 I contracted the coffee
habit early. I remember when quite
young the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub.
