A New Temperance CRY :
Lomax, Illinois
Pledged to Temperance by a TT

Pledged to Temperance by Trust Deed.
Lomax, Henderson county, Illinois, town less
than years DID, has in its foundation the strongest
fundamentals of temperance. The founder in turning
for the purposes of city $4,000 of
land has caused to be executed deed that for
excludes liquor from Lomax.
How few are wise enough for this How much
better than to let city fill with undesrables and
when attempt is finally made to exclude liquor, to
have hard fight for Supremacy A degrading
pensive that is not always successful!
At Lomax, this element will never come; never
get foothold but it will always be sweet desirable
city of homes.
Some manufacturers say that factory cannot
exist without liquor; Lomax is proving daily the
of this the Lomax factory district is growing
rapidly as is the city proper.
Parks, beautiful and in great numbers have been
provided well pleasure piers and various other
places for recreation Homes built for the
of family, without dollar in payment, when de-
sired and he is allowed to pay in small monthly in
stalments, equalng rental.
Factories in separate district, and each will
have ample switching facilities. and still careful study
has designed the yards that no can accidentally
get the tracks.
No profits taken from sale of lots, but all goes
for the improvement of the city with the result that
in very few years there will be city on the Mis-
sissippi river just south of Burlington, Iowa.

B|RDzELL TO QUIT
STATE TAX BOARD

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 1.-Prof.
Luther E. Birdzell, chairman of the
state tax commission, has rendered his
resignation to Governor Hanna to be-
come effective Oct. 20. Professor
Birdzell, who has been chairman of
the tax commission since it's organiza-
ton July 1, 1912, has resigned to re-
turn to the North Dakota law school.
When he accepted the position he was
given a two-year leave of absence by
the board of regents, which has ex-
pired.
Professor Birdzell's resignation will
not become effective for thirty days
from the time of assuming his duties
at the law school, owing to the fact
that the commission has a number of
matters pending which are largely in
the hands of the chairman and which
it is necessary for him to retain his
official position to conclude. Howev-
er, he ceased to draw salary as a tax
commissioner when he assumed his
duties at the law school.

Since his arrest, Lawrence has prov

the crime has unbalanced his mind.

to end his own life, the accused muir

OPINIONS AS TO
LABELLING FOODS

Washington, D. c., Oct. Inter
state shipments Of food products that
the regarded as unfit for human con-
sumption and have not been denatur-
ed will hereafter be seized by the
Federal authorities, no matter what
labels they may bear.
In an opinion published in the last
issue of the Service and Regulatory
Announcements, the Bureau of Chem
istry Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture holds that the label is
no obstacle against such products be-
ing used for food. Before they a
be shipped, therefore, in interstate
commerce they must be so denatured
that they a only be used for tech
nical purposes.
Another opinion deals with prospec-
tive violations Of the law compelling
all food products shipped in interstate
commerce after September 8, 1914, to
have the net weight stated on the Ia
bel. The Department holds that the
burden of proof rests upon persons
guilty of such violations to show that
the products in question were either
prepared or imported prior to Septem-
Der 3. Persons who cannot prove this
will be subject to the penalties pres
cribed by the Food and Drugs Act.
Opinions on the correct branding of
canned vegetables, poultry food, and
cheeses r also announced. Accord
ing to these, the use of sugar in IAN
ming does not justify the use of such
terms as sweet corn, sugar corn, and
sugar peas. These terms must be re-
served for the varieties of the veget-
ables in question which are distinctly
sweet and which are known as sugar
corn or sugar peas in their natural
state.
When shipped in interstate COM
merce or otherwise subject to the Food
and Drugs Act, all skinned or part
SKINNED cheeses must be plainly
branded Skinned" or "part skim
med" in accordance with the facts, on
the wrapper or container of each
cheese. Where the cheese is of the
size commonly sold uncut to n GUS
toner the rind Of the cheese itself
must bear the statement.
In regard to poultry foods, the Bu-
reau holds that a certain amount of
calcium carbonate phosphate is to be
considered as a poultry food, and that
when this amount is not excessive, no
statement in regard to the quantity of
grit is demanded by the Federal law.
