HOUSE PASSES MEASURE MAKING
FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
MORE LENlENT.
SAFETY PRovlso FOR
SOME REASON OMITTED
N smbsrs Of Congress Who Study Bill
sss Passed Feel il Will Encourage
Laxity Both Among Manufacturers
and Government Officials Who Have
Duty Of enforcement.
Especial Correspondence


Washington, Aug. s.-The house this
week has passed measure making the
pure food law more lenient which Is
looked on with much suspicion by the
friends Of strict food legislation and
the believers in the strict administra-
tion OF such legislation.
The measure is known as the Gould
amendment to the pure food law. IT
has, been given comparatively little
attention. 1t provides for what are
known as "tolerances" and for varia-
aons. to Q reasonable" extent In the
weight or number Of articles put on
the market in packages and are SUD
Jet to the pure food and drugs Act.
The law as it stands now requires
the weight or measure to be set form
GA the outside Of the package and 70
be stated plainly and correctly, Tne
amendment provides that "reasonaole
variations shall be permitted and toll
GRANGE shall be established by rules
and, regulations made in accordance
with this act"
Safety Clause Omitted.
I'm, the form In which the author m
troduced the bill there was prov1so
intended to prevent manufacturers OF
administrators Of the law from aous-
ing that elastic ward. reasonable.
This proviso was that the variations
allowed shall not in the average re-
duce the weight, measure or numer-
teal. count below that marked on solo
package" The proviso in question has
been left out OF the bill as 1t passed
the house and the question now 10
whether the manufacturers. II the bill
becomes q law. will not try to take
advantage Of the tolerance or varia-
lions allowed to reduce the averages:
Tho house interstate commerce COM
mfttee favored the bill. The reason ad-
vanced for It was that 1t would re-
lieye the manufacturers of hardship
imposed by changes in weight due TO
condition Of climate and variations
from the terms Of the labels which
could not be prevented. The commit
tee held the establishment OF toief-
ances. which is to be done under rules
laid down by the secretaries OF asri-
culture. treasury and commerce and
labor, will undoubtedly be great aid
TO the PRODUCERS Of food products in
package form by letting them know
in advance what the government oftt-
Gals believe to be reasonable varia-
tons" 1t is also maintained 1t VIII
be a great aid TO the officials.
May Encourage Laxity.
In spite Of this, there is FEELING
among many members OF house and
senate that the net result will be to
encourage laxity in the enforcement
Of the pure food and drugs act. The
whole experience in the administration
Of that act has been that the tendency
Ia to resolve too many Of the doubts
and questions that arise in favor OF the
manufacturers and against the public
The measure passed by the house sim
ply makes 1t a little easier to heif
out the manufacturers At the expense
of the consumers.

The commendable disposition of our
citizens to cooperate in park work is
shown by the facr that several persons
not signing the tree-planting agree
ment have set a number of trees in
South Park and several who agreed
to have a certain number set have in
some instances more than doubled

The fact that the acting SECRETARY
of the Retail Merchants Association
only received six rating Inquiries in
two weeks indicates that the men,

Don't get scared and think you are
seeing things again if you notice a
number of strange creatures on the
streets tomorrow for they are harm
less Scot Canadians, members of the
"Kilties" band. They came in all
sizes. One is a giant over seven feet
tall and another is but eighty-tive

globe-trotting "Kilties" will be the
aueerest specimens of humanity seen
in this city for some time, and theiI
performances as a concert band, with
several special features, will be ap
preciated by all musically inclined peo
pie who are fortunate enough to heal
them. Many people will be amused al
the mere sight of these men in short
skirts and feather pointed bonnets
but the real side-splitting laughts will
come to those who hear the band II
some of their humoresques and clever
limitations.
