Regulating Sale and
: Manufacture of
Ice Cream.
To Manufacturers and Dealers in Ice

TO Manufacturers and Dealers in Ice
Cream:
Your attention is called to Food
and Drug Regulation 20 which de-
hnes Ice cream and fixes standard
for butter fat in these materials.
Regulation %.
l. Ice cream is q frozen product
made from cream Tor cream, milk
and eggs) and sugar. with or without
natural havoring, and may contain
not to exceed one per cent Of HARM
less filler and shall contain not less
than ten per cent butter fat.
2. Fruit ice cream is q frozen
product made from cream Tor cream,
milk and eggs) and sugar, sound,
clean. mature fruits. may contain not
to exceed one per cent of harmless
flller and shall contain not less than
eight per cent of butterf at.
3. Nut ice cream is a frozen pro-
duct made from cream Cor cream,
milk and eggs) and sugar. and sound,
non-ranc'd nuts, may contain not to
exceed one per cent of harmless fill
er and shall contain not less than
s:oht per cent of butter fat.
These standards were fixed after
ice creams from reputable factories
all over the State were analyzed,
and represent the average of these
analyses. 1t is believed that these
standards are fair aud that the en-
torcement of Regulation 90 will not
work hardship on the manufac-
turer.
1t was found necessary to make |
standards for ice creams as the food |
value was constantly being lowered |
by adulteration and use of the cheap
est materials. thus encouraging low
grade and insan'tary manufacture.
We wish, therefore, to warn man
ufacturers and dealers that after
April I. 1914, Statewide campaign
VIII begin to enforce not only the
chem cal standards but the sanitary
standards Of production and handling
OF ice. creams.
The dealer can only secure pro-
lection by requiring the manufactur-
er to guarantee his goods to conform
to all requirements of the Louisiana

Editor N. o. Picayune:
In my copy of Daily Picayune Of
26th inst, just to hand, l noticed
| an editorial headed: THE Panama
Tolls Exemption in which, while
commencing my position in standing
for the repeal Of the exemption to
coastwise ships, you state it is based
on the belief that our exemption is q
violation Of the Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty and our insistence on the ex-
emption clause Of the present law
would do more harm by alternating
foreign sympathy and good will than
any benefit to American shipping
could repay"
wish to say that while have an
|nounced my intention to vote for the
repeal and will do SO If have the
opportunity, it will not be because
II think our government has not the
right under the treaty to exempt our
coastwise ships from the payment OF
tolls. II 1t chooses to exercise the
right, but because Of the assurance
of the president that our tnsisteRce
on the exemption would interfere
with the continuance Of our friendly
relations with the other governments
of the world and with the success Of
our foreign policies.
This is the consideration that has
moved me and not change Of op.n-
ion rs to our rights under the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty. concerning which
there has been and still IS wide d.
vergence OF opinion.
l set forth my reasons for my
change Of position in q statement to
the press given out on March 2, sew
eral days before the president deiive
cred his message on that question to
the joint session Of Congress, and at
q time when he had not expected to
deliver any message on it.
Ny statement is published in the
Congressional Record Of March 10,
copy Of which l inclose, and which
defines my present opinion.
You will notice that state the d:f-
ference between our right OF exemp-
ton and our enforcement of that
right.
II we relinquish the right, assum-
ing that We possess It, we will do so
because the view Of pres
emit conditions we think the relin-
Quishment of It will subserve the gen
eral good OF the country.

1t cannot be contended that there i
any distinction between the cases i,
that regard. II
In that case the language Of the
treaty bound this country not to M
pose any higher duties or CHARGE
on British vessels Of the United
States In the Same ports. But un-
der the local law British vessels were
required to pay pilotage charges,
while American vessels were COM
pletely exempt from such charges.

the temerity to rule contrary t. the

Mr.. Justice White, delivered the opin-
lon Of the court in these words:
Nor + There merit in the con-
tention that, % the vessel In question

foreign port. the state laws concern
ln4 ptlotage are In conflict with q
treaty between Great Britain aud the
United States providing that mo high

be imposed In any port Of the United
states on British vessels than those
payable IN the same ports BY vessels
Of the United States Neither the
exemption Of coastwise steam vessels
from pilotage resulting from the law
OF the United States nor any lawful
exemption Of coastwise vessels ere
ated BY the state law concers vessels
In the foreign trade, and, therefore.
any such exemptions do not operate
to produce determination against
British vessels engaged IN foreign
trade and In favor Of vessels Of the
United States In such trade. In
substance, the proposition but asserts
that because by the law Of the Unit
ed States steam vessels in the coast
WISE trade have been exempt from pi.
}otAEe regulations. therefore there
1s no power TO subject vessels In for
eisn trade to pilotage regulations.
even although such regulations apply
without discrimination to all vessels
engaged In such foreign trade.
whether domestic or foreign.
In other words, the court held
tnat there could be no determination
where there was NO competition. and
that AZ by the law Of the United
States only American vessels can en-
gage In the coastwise trade. It was
no vtoaltfon Of the treaty II the reeu-
lstions applied to all vessels In the
foreign trade. The reason.ne Of that
decision applies equally we'll to the
present situation.

RESCUED after
HELD 4S HOURS
IN QUICKSAND

Ware, Mass, Oct. 19.-After As hours
Imprisonment in quicksand, 25 feet be-
low the surface of the earth, Maurice
Allen was rescued late today by a
gang of so ffremen, policemen and cit
liens, who had Dug a ditch SO feet long
and so feet deep to reach him. Allen
was boring well in the rear of his
home Saturday when he struck quick
sand and sank
Several attempts at rescue by lad
ders and ropes failed, by slides The
trench was then dug to within a foot
of Aliens position and a man lowered
on rope removed the remaining sand
and brought Allen to the surface. AL
len was conscious when rescued, but
so weak he was unable to stand He
said he had been unable to help himself
as his feet were held firmly by a piece
of planking. A bit and saw which were
lowered to him this morning enabled
him to work one of his feet free, but
another cavern buried the tools.
An improvised divers helmet made
from a barrel was lowered into the
hole just after midnight last night and
the man supplied with air by a pump.
Food and stimulants were fed to him
through a tube Physicians who had
been in attendance during the day
said that he would probably suffer no
permanent i'll effects from his expe-
rience.
