tho manufacturer TO relieve the Gus
toner of responsibility should the goods
be proceeded against by the Govern
ment.
This Is widely misunderstood by the
public. As a matter of fact, the Gov
ernmCnt is constantly bringing prosecu-
tions against manufacturers or shippers
OF products marked Guaranteed Under
the Pure Food and Drugs Act" The
legend is worthless so far as protection
of the public directly is concerned.
In this connection DR.. Alsberg points
out that the inability of the Federal Of
fiCials to seize or enter prosecutions
against goods made and sold within the
boundaries OF a State Is a weakness;
He says frequently manufacturers brand
their whole run of goods with the same
label, containing the words "Guaran-
teed under the Pure Food and Drugs
Act" but. so long as the product re-
aims within the State lines where ac-
seize it. 1t can suggest proceedings by
the State authorities. but that is all
The chief chemist emphasizes that the
Government itself does not regard the
words Guaranteed Under the Pure
Food ard Drugs Act as in any way
proof that the product is all it should
be: that customers are misled by the
words into the belief the Government
guarantees the product to be all right.
and that the words in no way enable
the Government to secure a heavier
penalty for misbrandng, adulteratlon
and like deCeptions.
1t is made plain that some other
words than these used should be sub
stituted II the public is not to be misled.
The need of a reasonable measure of
uniformity in food and drug laws be-
tween the States and the Federal Gov
ernment and among the States is ap-
parent, in the opinion of DR.. Alsberg.
He considers II highly important and
dc no 10 NtNeh nTp
adequate protection OF the public.
In regard to denaturing, DR.. AIsberg.
by concrete examples, lays stress on the
fact that the food and drugs act does
not provide for denaturing Of domestic
food substances unfit for food which
the shipper declares to be designed for
use wholly in the arts. He says:
For example, eggs unfit for human
consumption are frequently shipped with
the declaration that they are to be used
such eggs are particularly valuable.
Frequently oils, or other food substan-
ces unfit for human food. are shipped
with the declaration that they are to
be used for soap making or for the
manufacture of lubricants or axle
grease
But there is no effective method now
of preventing the recipient Of these de-
fctive food substances working them
over and converting them improperly to
food use. Denaturing is applied 10 inn
ported products unfit for human food.
Some Of these products are valuable in
the arts. and DR.. Alsberg holds an ef-
fective system of denaturing ought to
he applied 10 domestic products unfit
for human food the same as Il Is applied
to imported products. This would con-
serve against waste, and at the same
time protect the public from being i'm
posed on by stuff that is dangerous or
at least lacking in nutritive value.

OF the stock. Now the question that
bothers the insurance company and
Mr.. Swanger is whether or not any
policy was really taken out. Mr..
Swanger's loss on the building was
about $1,000. He formerly operat-
ed the hardware store, but sold 1t,
and took II back again at a valua-
ton Of $1,000. When Mr.. Swanger
had the store the first time, 1t was
insured. The man who next took
the stock insured It, but when the
stock and building reverted to Mr..
swanger no insurance was transfer

The grocery stock and building
destroyed were insured for $4,000.

SUES FOR ALLEGED

The heavy rains Of last week SEEM

wall in Harrington. The wall has

she has sued A. d. Collins for 1925

fective work.

made contract with Cullins to
build retaining wall Of cement
blocks set in cement mortar. to be
11S feet long, and another wall, al
80. He orally guaranteed. she al
leges, that the work would last five
years; in the wall are large cracks
and that Cullins has failed to make
repairs although she has called his
attention to the work. The retain
ing wall broke and the cement blocks
were broken into fragments. 1t is
dangerous for passersby to go near

tottering condition, the plaintiff al
leges. The wall is giving way rap
idly, it is said.

Morning Session.

Morning Session.
! The principal witness at the morn
| ing session, at the trial of Ben Ness,
before the bar of the house. Thurs,
day, was Representative Divet, OF
Richland county, who preferred the
charges of bribery or attempted brib-
cry against the defendant.
Attorney Tracy Bangs of Grand
Forks and Attorney Koffel OF Bis,
marck appeared in behalf Of thei ac-
cused. The first argument was over
the rules under which the investiga-
iition was proposed, and the speaker
ruled that wherein the house rules did
mot cover the matter thoroughly, the
rules adopted by the national con,
gress would apply. Attorney Bangs
took exception to a plan OF procedure,
whereby, as he said, the court was
Ito concoct its rules as it proceeded
with the case. The chair insisted upoa
the original ruling, however, and the
house supported the ruling when an
|appeal was taken from the decision
of the chair
Names Are Mentioned
lnasmuch as it had been suggested
THAT Ness had mentioned the names
! of other members of the house to
lDivet, Mr. Streeter wanted to know
who the members were, and he was
supported by Mr. O'Connor and 9th
ers. Attorney Bangs objected, and
the objection was sustained by the
chair, but the house demanded the
names of those who had been men
toned by Ness.
Mr.. 4Divet said that Ness had claim
ed to have "fixed" it with Senator
Hookway, who was to get S1,OOp
whether or not the bill was killed;
Mr.. Thompson, who was to receive
$500, and Representatives Ryan, Mil
Ter and Taylor, who wereNto be paid
| but the amount was not mentioned.
Again the house demanded the names
OF those mentioned by Ness as hav-
ling been in on the pot" two years
ago, and Mr.. Divet said that Ness had
said that these men were, Senator
LaMoure. who received $1,000, and
Senator HOokWay, who had been paid
| 1000.
Not Guilty
When Ness was told to arise, and
the charge was stated by the speaker,
he entered a plea OF not guilty and
denial Of any and all charges against
him. The plea was entered through
his attorney, Mr.. Bangs.
Mr.. Owens was informed, upon max
ing inquiry, that the proceedings
would be printed in the journal, and
Mr.. Eangs then arose.
He objected to further procedure on
the grounds that it was without war
