LAFOL[ETTE To ASK
PURE FOOD CHANGE
Senator Would Remedy Act
Which Puts Burden Of
Proof on Government.

Senator La Toilette will introduce next
week a bill to remedy the defect in the
pure food and drugs act recently reveal
ed by Supreme Court decision. which
puts the burden on the, Government to
show that the amount Of poisonous sub
stance in a food product is sufficient to
be Injurious to health.
Senator La Toilette, however, il not
going to stop at this. He will, in a few
weeks introduce another bill intended to
obviate all the weaknesses and defects
which have been disclosed in the pure
food and drugs measure.
Preliminary to this he is making a
study Of the law and the decisions. DR..
H. W. Wiley is cooperating with him,
and is studying the decisions VI the
courts on the pure food law and having
them briefed. Senator La Toilette in
tends to consult with the experts Of The
Department Of Agriculture.
The Senator said today the bill to rem
edy the defect would amount simply to
rephras sing the measure so that the bur-
6en would not be on the Government to
show that a substance was present in
sufficient quantity to be injurious to
health. He expects this bill to pass
promptly.
He believes 1t will take time to get
the other legislation through. 1t may
take a session or two. But he intends
to force il, and to make the pure focd
and drugs act a more effective instru-
ment for protection Of the public health.
