r.. J. Pulyer. OF English a PnlNer'
2SSl Woodward, says:
The recent changes In the drug
laws have been remarkable in their
advantages towards the consumers
and indirectly towards the druggists.
Today everything must comply with
the law and be absolutely true 90 label
Substitution is matter OF the past.
Standardized drugs only are now
used. Each Wholesale concern of any
size must employ an analytical chem
list. whose sole duty is 10 test the var
ious drugs. fluids and salts and deter
mine their standard. II they are not
mp to the required mark. they are not
accepted. This means, that the neces-
sary strength and active principles
are positive. Nowadays all boxed
candies must bear the weight in plain
figures. This is the result OF new In
terstate commerce law and prevents
fraud. Little or no coloring matter Is
to be found in the cheaper candies.
while any aGulteration or substitution
must be clearly noted.
The people OF Detroit had an oppor-
tunity last Sunday OF viewing one or
the cleanest and most sanitary pack
ing houses in the country Hammond,
Standish & Company entertained as
their guests nearly six thousand peo-
pie OF Detroit and nearby points.
Hammond. Standish x Co. is one
of the oldest and best known indus
tries of Detroit. Established n 1859,
they have always made quality their
first aim and today they are almost

United States.
The cleanliness with which mod
ern packing house can be conducted
was revelation to many OF the
guests and the courtesy and neat ap
pearance of the attendance were also
accorded much favorable comment.
The Morton Baking Co. has a model
plant 10 supply its rapidly-increasing
bushes. The immaculate cleanliness
in the process of baking is augmented
By a wrapping process that leaves no
chance for dust to accumulate.
The average Detroiter," says Mr..
Morton, has little conception OF the
vast amount of details involved in an
effort TO supply the trade with a per-
tect product, both in material and in
purity"
