USTCHANGELAWS.
Supreme Courts Decision in
Bleaehed Flour Case Blow
al Pure Food.
BURDEN OF PROOF ON STATE
Government Chemist AIsberg Admits
That Ruling Badly cripples Eff
forts of His Department.

Washington, D. C.-Senators and
representatives interested in the sue
cessfuI administration of pure food
laws already are considering some.
amendment to the Food and Drugs
Act that will meet the decision rem
dered by the supreme court IN the
''b1eached -four case" which, 1t is
considered, cripples the federal gov
ernment's agencies for administering
the law.
The court held in the bleAched -four
case that before the government can
maintain an action for libel and con-
demnation OF shipments of foodstuffs
or drugs under the act, 1t must es-
tablish afHrmatively and by prepOn-
deranee. OF evidence that the goods
not only contain poisonous and dele
ferrous substances the addition OF
which is forbidden by the act, but
that these added substances are pres
ent in such quantities as viii injure
health -
THE court says that the act was
passed solely to conserve the public
health and unless it can be shown that.
any article contains substance that is
harmful to health, the government
cannot condemn it.
Dr. Carl Alsberg, government chem
ist, and successor to Doctor Wiley,
admitted that on the face of things
the decision viii cripple, If not de-
stroy, the efforts OF the government
TO prevent adulteration. If the gov
eminent is put to the necessity OF
proving in each case that there is
enough added deleterious substance to
1nJure health, the enforcement Of the
food law will turn on expert testi-
mony, which is a doubtful element, as
was shown by the conflicting scien-
tific testimony given in the benzoate
of soda cases.
State laws will be affected by the
decision, because whenever the state
authorities attempt to apply the law
to outside corporations, these will
carry the case into the federal courts,
which will be guided by the supreme
| court decision.

Watch Carefully

Their Food.


Mothers are often unconscicusly
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact Is that all foods do
not agree alike with. different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems TO constipate
the child or to give il Indigestion. and
urge it to take more OF what is quick
IL digested-
e the child shows a tendency TO
constipation IL should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply a small dose OF the
gentlest Of medicines, such as DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion Of thousands Of watchful moth
ers, is tie ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency TO constipation
So many things can happen to q con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness,
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need IL,
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse
it, among them Mrs. NJ E Patten,
Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never

No Lives Lost.

Fire recently destroyed the plant OF

working in the mine at the time es-

cause of the fire is not known, but as
it had its origin in the tipple, it is

WAR BREAKS OUT ."s,a
'."a IN A FRESH SPOT

While the European, Powers are now
engaged in war, the greatest in the
worlds history, according to the mill
tary and naval strategists, the atmos.
phere here in Hawaii is not altogether
calm and peaceful, Recently declara-
ton of political war was made by and
between the Democratic leaders. Col.
@. j. Mccarthy is making the attack,
and Manley Hopkins is defending his
position, encouraged By the McCand-
.lessites.
q 1t happened that some time ago Nc
earthly called upon Hopkins and asked
him whether he intended to run for
the position of county treasurer. Nc
earthly wanted to know who his Demo.
cratic successor might be, and he was
ready TO back Hopkins. But Hopkins,
after talking over the proposition with
the colonel, said that he would not run
at all. This ended the interview. Me.
Carthy thereupon told his deputy, M.
ID. Drummond, TO announce his candi.
dacy for treasurer on the Democratic
ticket. This was done accordingly.
And no sooner had Drummond made
the announcement than Hopkins, at the
urgent request of his friends, entered
tho field again and announced his can
didacy for the same job, This started
the trouble, and Mccarthy Immediately
set the machinery in motion. First he
asked Hopkins to withdraw; then he
set out on the warpath. The scrap is
a merry one, ......, ..
