MAN WITHOUT A PAIN.

Hurrah for the man without a pain!
II he is not the salt Of the earth. then
the earth must surely remain unsalt-
ed. He feels no inward burning ne
cessity of breaking into newspapers
with constant declarations as to the
badness of men and things. He Is not
full OF suppressed resolutions as to the
wickedness of everybody else, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean. He has no spe-
cial yearning TO ascend Chautauqua
platforms and feed full the listening
throngs with all the horrors OF exist
ence. In private life he is the citi.
gen who looks after his family, who
ls regarded as good neighbor and
who gains and deserves the respect OF
all those who know him. In the busl-
ness world he is the man who does his
work without a lot of noise and wasted
motion and thereby earns the graft
tude Of his associates or employers. In
public life he Is the man VINO sees
that the business OF government gets
attended to and leaves to louder states
men the honors Of big headlines and
Chautauqua lectureships. After hear
ing or reading the studied and labori'
GUS complainings of the other variety,
the thought Of him is like the murmur
Of pleasant waters. II cools, refreshes
and strengthens the faded spirit. II
reminds one that everything is far
from being lost, that the worlds work
Is still being efficiently done, that the
republic is safe and that the sun is
still shining.

A Boston restaurant keeper kept a
green turtle on its back in his win
dow and was tried on a charge Of cru
city to animals A Harvard university
professor testified that the turtle was
more nearly related TO the birds than
the fishes, but the defense took the
ground that II was not an animal. but
q fish. and the Judge instructed the
Jury to bring in verdict OF not
guilty. Whatever intellectual Boston
may hold as to the status of the rep
tiles. there is no good reason why the
laws forbldding cruelty TO animals
should not be broad enough to cover
more than warm-blooded animals.

recent decision Omitted States versus
}. A. Johnson, opinion May 30,
l911) that the Food and Drugs Act
loes not cover the knowingly false
lbeling of nostrums as to curative

that inquiry under this salutary
statute does not by its terms extend
IN any case to the inefiicacy OF medi-

DRUG FRAUD PERIL
SCORED By TAFT
Urges Congress to Promptly
Amend the Act.
TO PREVENT FALSE CLAIMS.
Results OF Discussion In johnson
Case--Msnu scturers OF Leslti-
male Proprietary Med cines
Approve the Message.

Washington. - Although absent
from the city, President Taft direct
ed TO be sent to Congress a special
message, in which he urged that at
this session the Pure Food and Drug
Law be so amended as to strengthen
that act in vital points OF weakness
recently pointed out by decisions Of
the United States Supreme Court In
the case of o. A. Johnson. The Su-
preme Court held in effect that " a
manufacturer of patent medicine
states the true contents OF his medi-
cine, he has complied with the law,
and that he is at liberty to claim
curative properties TO what degree
he cares.
A bill was introduced in the House
by Representative Sherley, of Ken
lucky, to carry out the recommenda-
tons of Mr.. Taft's message, and the
Senate is likewise favorable TO
amending the law.
Manufacturers of legitimate prop
rietary medicines the country over
are strongly in favor OF such legisla-
tion.
Purpose Of the law.
The Presidents message follows:
"To the Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives:
"Your attention is respectfully
called to the necessity of passing at
this session an amendment to the
Food and Drugs Act OF June 80,
1906, which will supplement exist
ing law and prevent the shipment in
Interstate and foreign commerce and
the manufacture and sale within the
territories ana the District OF CO.
lumbia OF worthless nostrums label
ed with misstatements OF fact as TO
their physiological action-misstate
ments false and misleading even in
the knowledge of those who make
them.
"On June 80, 1906, after an agita-
ton OF 20 years, the Food and Drugs
Act, passed by the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress, received the approval of the
President and became law. The pur-
pose of the measure was twofold-
first, to prevent the adulteration of
foods and drugs within the jurisdic-
tion OF the federal government, and
second, to prevent any false labelling
OF foods and drugs that will deceive
the people into the belief that they
are securing other than tnat for
which they ask and which they have
the right to get.
