NO GINGER ALE IS MADE
MAKERS OF SO-CALLED PROD

DR.. Wiley's Suggestion That It
Ought to Be Called by More Truth.
full Title Causes CONSERVATION,

There is no such thing as ginger ale, it
would appear. from testimony given be-
fore the pure food board at the Depart
ment Of Agriculture today
DIR. Wiley. who was conducting the in
curry. threw chill into the manufac-
tsIrers assembled with the grave sug-
gestion that 1t might be necessary to
eliminate the word altogether from inter-
state commerce.
The soda water flavoring manufacturers
were having hearing before the board,
following q joint meeting of these man.

New Willard last night There were
present about fifty representatives OF the

Committees With Jurisdiction.

committees Win Jur1SO1cI1ou.
There are several committees to which
the bill for the Panama celebration might
be referred. There is the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, which
has Jurisdiction over the things affecting
the Canal Zone: the committee on appro-
priations and the committee on indus
trial arts and expositions. besides the
District committee, to which such q
measure might be referred. Representa-
tive Rodenberg Of Illinois Is the chair
man Of the committee on Industrial arts
and expositions, and 1t Is likely the bill
for the celebration will be referred to
his committee since the plan is to hold
a great International exposition at the
time.
Representative Rodenburg said today:
II believe that Washington has as good
a claim to the exposition as any other
city. l do not wish at this time to speak
in favor of any particular city, since the
matter may come up for the decision OF
the committee Of which I am chairman.
Has Good Claim.
III Washington is to have the celebra-
tion-and I admit that the National Cap
ttal has good reasons for asking that 1t
be held here-the citizens must tell US In
Congress what they will do to further
the exposition plans. Already some OF
the other cities have made plans for
financing the celebrati and exposition,
and NV committee will have to consider
which is the most advantageous. The
celebration must be paid for not entirely
out Of the Treasury Of the United States,
and what the citizens will do will have
much to do with the decision Of the COM
mittee When the ST. Louis exposition
took place the citizens of st. Louis raised
S5OOO.OOO and the city raised 100000
more by bond issues.
This exposition will he one OF the great
est ever held in this country, and we
should have assurances that Washington
will be able to take care Of the great
crowds that will come here.

Pertinent Questions Asked.

The department had formulated a Sc
ries of questions as to whether the pres
ence of capsicum in ginger ale had to he
stated on the label; whether lemon sour"
and cream soda" were permissible
names without any explanation as to
what they contained; whether SOAP bark
was Questionable as a medium for maxi
ing the foam producing feature of bottled
soft drinks; whether sarsaparilla was a
permissioie name, as IT is not sarsaparil-
la, and whether root beer is to be made
OF roots or of something else
both associations represented had pre-
pared or1efs that were read. The gist of
ooth was that the custom OF a great many
years had justified any apparent discren-
ancy In labelling soft drinks, and that the
manufacturers would be perfectly wen
satisfied IL they were let alone.
This was apparently the thing that DR..
Wiley did not propose to do. The whole
of the morning was spent in threshine
out the question OF whether or not II is
necessary TO put red pepper into ginger
ale. and IL 80 put whether the fact
ought to be stated on the label
Evidence was heard from the bulk q,
the manufacturers to the effect that cap
sicum is always or nearly always nut in
ginger ale. w. B. Keller Of New York
even went 80 Tar as to say that ginger
was not always present.
He said that one formula. that had
taken the prize as the best ginger ale
made In England, contained no trace OF
ginger.
No Ginger Ale at All.
Edward Post of Philadelphia made a
statement as to the amount OF capsicum
that Is put into ginger ale. He~yaid the
sort Of ginger ale that is put up for sa-
loon trade has to be made hot, that ala
for general trade Is milder and ginger
ale for family use is the rnildest of all.
Mr.. Keller said that IL II came to a
strict Interpretation OF the law, ginger
ale is not ale at all. and it would be ridic-
uious to eliminate the name from the
trade on that account.
DR.. Wiley said he was not so sure but
what the word ale" ought to be eiimi.
mated. AT that there was a general SILVER
throughout the meeting. as the manufac-
turers united in declaring that Il would
be almost impossible to educate the pub
Tic to take ginger ale under some entirely
different name.

session were Edward Lannaman of Lam

A great amount Of grain is nov
coming in to the warehouses here
The farmers warehouse is already y
filed and a platform has been built
on the outside and several thousand
sacks have already been piled cut
there. Grain is being hauled here
from Central Ridge and from near
the sramway on account Of the priv
ilege of storing and selling to inde-
pendent buyers. Mr.. Robinson, who
owns a big warehouse here is paying
tramway and vollmer prices for all
milling wheat here or at any point
along the NeEperce railroad. A
considerable amount Of other grain
has been sold here for the same price
as that paid at vollmer or the tram
way.
Il will be remembered, three years
ago there vas a great many inde-
pendant buyers in this section for
grain and now since they can buy
out of independent warehouses the
prospects are favorable for a greater
number to be here this season than
ever before. which will mean that
every one who has grain at the ware
housef along the Nezperce railroad
will receive just as good price as
those who have grain at other points.
Some grain has been shipped already |
from here and arrangements are nov
being made for a much heavier ship
