PRESIDENT TAFT WANTS
PURE DRUG ACT AMENDED
Flags Patent Medicine Makers For
False Statements Regarding
Their Remedies.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.--Denounc-
ing patent medicine manufacturers
for false statements Of the curative
powers OF their remedies. President
Taft today in a message to congress
urged as an emergency measure an
amendment TO the pure food and
drugs act prohibiting such receptions.
Such an amendment is necessary"
declared the president, because OF
the opinion rendered by the supreme
court. May 20, that the present law
does not prohibit the knowingly false
labelling Of nostrums as to curative
effects or physiological action"
A bill In line with the presidents
idea was introduced yesterday by
Rep. Sherley, Dem, Ky.).
The president pointed out that q
600 cases have been prepared for
criminal prosecution under the food
and drugs act. More than $50 cases
involving the false labelling OF alleged
cures are now pending and because
OF the supreme court decision, must
be dismissed. These cases involve,
said the president, some of the rank
est frauds by which the American
people were ever deceived"
An evil which menaces the gen
eral health OF the people, strikes at
the life OF the nation" said President
Taft. The sale of dangerously aduI.
terated drugs constitutes such an
evil"

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Friends of
pure food have been highly gratified
at the action Of the Prussian board OF
government experts in condemning the
use OF benzoate Of soda as food pre-
servatiye.
The board carefully reviewed the
work Of the American Remsen board
and that OF Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
OF the bureau OF chemistry The Rem.
sen board found In favor OF the drug
while DR.. Wiley condemned IL and the
Prussian scientists rejected the Rem
sen boards conclusions and adopted
those of DR.. Wiley.
The Germans took the identical
view Of the American food-expert.
namely. that benzoate OF soda was
injurious TO invalids and children. The
decision is regarded as a great scienti-
fc triumph for Dr. Wiley, although,
OF course, IL will have no effect on the
American foods except that food thus
preserved cannot be exported to Ger
many.

DUMMIES, NOT MEN,
TO SERVE ON TEXAS.
Report That Target" Will
Be Manned Denied BY
Officials.

Navy Department officials today de-
nied reports from Norfolk that seamen
would be stationed on board the United
States steamship Texas when it is fired
at by the other battIeships in the target
practice next month.
The Texas is being fitted with armor
plates, and the test is designed TO
demonstrate the effect of modern ex-
plosive shells upon a war vessel. Battle
conditions will be secured as far as pos
sible, and to this end dummies will
probably be placed in the gun turrets
to show what would be the fate Of the
gunners in an engagement.
If there are to be any goats on the
Texas during the firing, said the naval
officers, they will be four-legged ones.
