PURE FOOD LAWS
No Step Backward Under Will
son Administrative
Head of Chemistry Department
Talks to Congress.

Atlantic City, June 5.-There has
been and will be no step backward in
the enforcement of the pure food law
under the Wilson adminiStr ration, DR..
Carl L. Alsberg, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, today told the National
Wholesale Grocers' association in an
nual session here. He added, however,
that 1.-The administration of the law
will gain effectiveness if coupled with
a policy of education and instruction -
DR.. AlSberg said he hoped to make
the chemistry bureau rs available to
the consumer as the department of ag-
riculture as a whole had been to the
farmer.
"One of the great needs of the
tines he continued, sis more science
in the manufacture of foods. Here in
tn United States, the business of food
manufacture has advanced with eX-
traordinary rapidity. We no longer
live at home as they said in the
distant grocer. the distant manufac-
turer. The food problem is not a
problem of the home or even of the
location. 1t is a problem nation wide.
1.-The transformation of the food in
dustry has been so rapid that abuses
could not fail to creep into it. The old
household methods are often bad when
applied on a large scale. New meth
DDS have to be devised. Under pres
sure of competition, these have not al
ways been thoroughly IeSleO. InuS
trade practices have become estab
lished that are hard to eradicate. 1t
must be one of the duties of the de-
partment of agriculture to examine
into all of these practices, to improve
good ones, and discover substitutes for
the bad. 1t must also be its function
to develop methods. of utilizing by
products and of using as food many
things which are not now utilized.
Much work of this type already
has been done in the department of
agriculture. but it is hoped to make
this work the dominant note of the

ANTI-SALOON BOOTH.
A Demonstration OF the Effects OF
IntOxicants.

There was during the progress OF
the State Fair of Louisiana, in the
exposition building, a demonstration
by the ladies of the Prohibition
League which left lasting impress
sion on the visitors, men and wom-
en-. by whom it was viewed.
As a comparison by contrast there
was exhibited on table assorted
groceries for a small family use ag-
gregating $3.50 week and repre-
senting the waste of this amount
consumed in intoxicants by the in
diyidual. From this waste the fam
lily was deprived of its needs. From
this waste the saloon is the only
beneficiary. From this waste homes
are wrecked and drunkafds IN
creased. But this is not the only
| curse. It was demonstrated by al
appalling official death record o,
the victims of intoxicants, trans
mitted from the father to severa
/ generations. Each demonstration
/ was exemplified with the figures Of

Association lis considering prob
able dissolution. At meeting OF
the association held Friday, as re-.
ported, 1T was found that the out
standing premiums awarded by the
association and remaining unpaid
amount to about $70O, and the debt
which the individual members as
sumed, borrowed from the bank, is
$4O0.'
This embarrassment of the Clal-
borne Parish Fair Association has
been experienced by similar assocI-
ations. For instance the Fair Asso-
citation of Shreveport was involved

but this indebtedness was finally
liquidated. Until last year and this

were never deferred and maintained
