PURE FOOD" GUARANTEES
TO BECOME ILLEGAL

On and after May l, 1915, it will
be unlawful for the manufacturer Of
any drugs or food product TO imprint
ON any label his serial number or
the legend, Guaranteed undet the
Food and Drugs Act. = "A guarantee
that the food prodnet lis pure and unS
adulterated may be used on the in
voice when the goods. are sold, but IL
must not appear anywhere on the label.
The GOV cement makes this ruling
because sol manufacturers have used
the foregoing caption in a deceptive
manner, with the intent TO convey the
impression that the government had
inspected the merchandise. As a mat
ter Of fact, the Pure Food Law makes
the manufacturer the sole guarantor Of
the quality of his product, and there
Is no inspection except such as may
be punitive in its intent, provided the
manufactured is fonMd to have eyadod
the law.
While the new law may cause some
loss to those who have two or three
years stock of labels on hand, the
majority of manufacturers recognize
the BUSINESS of the government posi-
tiOn. No serious opposition has thus
far been presented, as the twelve
months leeway granted will enable the
trade to adjust itself to the new re-
quirements.

Saving On 1O,OOo-Ton Ship, Bound
From Islands to New York,
About $4,000.

Although ship owners have com.
planned that the toll rate adopted by
the government for the passage OF
vessels through the Panama Canal are
high and ineqpitable the New York
Marine Journal presents figures which
show that the saving in distance by
the canal as compared with the Magel
Ian route will pay tolls and leave q
big margin.
According to the Journal the cost OF
maintaining modern steamer Is ten
cents a day for each registered ton and
the difference in distance between the
two routes for vessels bound from
coast TO coast of the mainland of tho
United States, or from the Hawaiian
Islands to the east coast of tho main
land, is twenty-five days for shiI
steaming 800 knots a day.
Applying this calculation as to cost
of operation and time saving to {
