There is no doubt that sewing buttons
on the children's clothes takes a grea,
deal Of time. Shanks fastened under.
meath are not advisable, as they may
press against the flesh and must always
be removed for washing.
A good plan to prevent buttons from
peeling OF is to run strip of tape on the
underside of the fastening to which the
buttons may be sewed. The tape will
hold the buttons firm and prevent them
from pulling out with a bit Of the ma

FOOD PRODUCTS DENATURED.
Importers Cautioned to Properly
Label ssbstan noes for Art Use.

With the approval Of the Secretary of
the Treasury. the Department OF Agri-
culture has issued an order to the food
and drugs inspectors in the several
ports to require all importers to denature
dangerous food substances imported not
for food. but for use In the arts.
This order particularly touches gela-
tine or glue. which contains excessive
amounts of arsenic. copper. or zinc, nut
megs In a state Of decomposition, and
other food substances containing danger
Gus compositions or in a state unit for
food. which are imported for use in man
fractures. Heretofore the shipments
have been allowed to enter, provided
they bear the label ''for technical pur-
poses" The new order requires them
to state on the label the dangerous in
gredients, and to add the legend mot
for food or drug purposes"
The order applies only to imported
products, as the law does not provide
for the denaturing of domestic food sub
stances unfit for food which the shipper
declares to be designed for use in the
arts.
