has succeeded to a large extent 1t
now proposes to extend its operations
to cover some of the fake medicine
schemes that bob up in all parts of the
country over night
OF course, it is admitted that not all
patent medicines come under this
class. Some of them evidently have
considerable merit in them. These
will be let alone but the manufactur-
ers will be required to show that their
products are what they claim and that
they will get the results that they ad-
vertise. While this will probably
drive off of the market many of the
patent medicines, it will not affect
those that are proven remedies or that
can prove any of the curative state
ments that the manufacturers make.
The new law affects only shipments
interstate and has nothing to do with
the manufacture of goods inside of the
state lines and that never gets across
the border. The handling of these
drugs is left with the state authorities
and with the state law. 1t is possible,
however, that any advertisements or
literature that is sent out would be
used against the manufacturers even
in case of this kind if the govern
ment mails were involved.
The law that so decidedly affects the
patent medicine industry of the coun-
try reads: "If its package or label
shall bear or contain any statement,
design or device regarding the curative
or therapeutic effect of such article or
any of the ingredients or substances
contained therein which is false and
the package shall be de-
clared miSbranded.

A general strengthening of the
courses offered for women with a
view of affording them special training
along the lines of endeavor they will
enter after leaving the university, is
the keynote of the new school year OF
1912, which began with the registration
of students at the University of Idaho
this morning. Students are fiocking
into Moscow on every train and there
is every indication that the attendance
of the university this year will not
only be larger than last but will in
crease the percentage of growth
over the unusual increase last year.
According to President j. A. Mac
Lean this morning there is every rea-
son to expect a most prosperous and
successful year in Idaho's big institu-
tion, and activity in enrolment this
morning as well as the demand for cat
alogs, and the correspondence which
preceded it, is most gratifying.
On Saturday afternoon the first fac
ulty meeting of the semester was held
and while it's purpose was confined
largely to getting acquainted. the
plans for caring for registration were
adopted.
During the next few days the uni
verSity will make a special effort to
offer attractive courses in preparing
women for their activities in the work.
a-day year and to this end the courses
in home economics and the allied ac-
tivities of women, are strengthened.
Miss j. Hoover of Fargo, ~ d., where
she organized similar department at
the North Dakota Agricultural college,
will have charge of this work.

MEDICINES MUST
DELIVER GOODS

Patent medicines that cannot deliver
the goods are banned Advertisements
that tell of cures they never have and
never will produce are to be driven
from the newspapers, magazines and
other periodicals that use the govern
ment mails.
Important changes in the laws as
made by the last session of congress
have been received at the federal
building. The department of justice is
charged with the enforcement of the
new amendment to the pure food law
that makes a drug misbranded arti-
Gle if it's label contains any statement
as to it's curative effects and if the act
ual results do not bear out that state
ment.
The postoffice inspector is charged
with the prevention of the use of the
government mails for the dissemina-
tion of the advertisements that tell
of the wonderful things that the medi-
cines have and can produce. The in
spectors will prosecute the manufac-
turers for using the mails for the fur
therance of a scheme to defraud, while
the department of justice will pay par
ticular attention to the drugs that
would come under the miSbranding
act.
Both forces will naturally work
hand in hand in the elimination of
many of the patent medicines from the
market The manufacturers will be
required to show that their goods will
do what they claim for them. Persons
who have used their medicines and
have found that they do not get the re-
suits will be brought in as witnesses.
Newspaper men will be summoned to
testify that the advertisements ap-
peared in their papers. Magazine pub
fishers will be brought to the stand to
tell what their advertising contracts
were with the companies and who paid
for them.
In other words, little brown sugar,
alcohol and water no longer goes as a
wonderful curative for all of the dis
eases on the calendar. The medicines
must be able to do all that is claimed
for them. They must produce the
goods and work the cures.
"In Idaho alone nearly $3,000,OO0 is
taken from the state every year on
some fake scheme or other" declared
one of the government officials yester-
day. "The postoffice department has
done a great deal of work already in
the effort to keep the fraudulent
schemes from using the mails and it :

Old Vessels Thrown Out.

. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Three old
seadogs of the United States revenue
cutter service that have saved many
lives and rendered assistance to many
vessels indistress are headed for the

A WOMAN'S WAY
PRETTY COMEDY

One of the big questions of life
with its comedy and heart interest
well protrayed will be presented to
local theatre-goers tonight when the
worldwide success, "A Woman's
Way" will be given it's initial pre-
sentation by the Betty Barrows play
ers. The play is a society comedy
of the first water having to its credit
one of the longest continuous runs ev-
er recorded a play of its kind in
London and New York and has been
the stepping-stone to success of many
of our best known stage favorites. The
story is interesting from the first jump
and chiefly concerns the married life
of matter-of-fact literary man and
his clinging-vine, weepy wife. The
situations are true to life and have
wealth of fine comedy and the play in
the hands of these capable players
should prove distinct feature in the
weeks entertainment.
