ters last night, William II. OBrien,

fits of consolidating the telephone and

dore n. Vail to the field of activities

described the success which had attend
ed his effort in uniting the telephone
and telegraph service, thus afording a
telegraph outlet for even the smallest

NO ASSURANCE OF PURITY.
That Package Should Bear the Pure Food
Label.

Mobile, Ala, June l9-The word $
Guaranteed under the-food and drugs
act on a label are no assurance that
the contents OF package are pure, ae-
cording to DIR. Carl L. Alaberg. chief of
the bureau of chemistry, who spoke here
to-day before the Association of Ameri
can Food, Dairy and Drug Officials. DR..
Alsberg was speaking of the limitations
of the federal bureau under the pure
food law, appealing for closer co-opera-
tion between federal and state authori-
ties and for uniformity of laws in the
various states, based on the national law
looking to less frequently misbranded
and to a better food and drug supply.
"Wihen the average mother buys
can of unsweetened condensed milk for
her baby" he declared. "the word CON
densed' on the can gives her no positive
information as to the volume of real
milk that has been reduced to the com
pass of the can. One brand may be high
ly concentrated, and another be only
slightly condensed from its original milk
state. We chemists, Of course, can do
complicated little sum with the but
ter fat percentages and the statement of
solid contents shown on the label and get
the answer. The average consumer,
however, either cannot or will not do so
and the average mother with a baby has
no time to do it, even if she had the
necessary knowledge
The food and drugs act, DR.. Alsberg
asserted, mot only does not give the
department of agriculture power to act
in many vitally important matters, but
actually prohibits its Intervention in
many things that call aloud for immedi-
ate remedy. The people at large do not
understand the limitations under which
we act, nor do they realize that frequent
ly we are even more disgusted than they
at our inability to do things that we
are more than anxious, but helpless le-
gally, to undertake"
