NEW RULING

The legend, Guaranteed Under the
Food and Drugs act, is found to be
misleading and deceptive, and the
us of a serial number on food and
drugs is prohibited after May /, 1915,
by a food inspection decision signed
May ), by the Secretaries of the
Ire asury, Agriculture and Com
merce. The taking effect of the
new regulation is postponed until
May 1, 1915, in order to give the
manufacturers an opportunity to use
up their present stock of labels.
After May l. 1915, guarantees of
compliance with the law should be
given by manufacturers directly to
dealers and should be incorporated

ing the goods covered. This guaran-
tee should not appear on the lael or

WAS NOT HIS TIME TO DIE
Captains Marvellous Escape From
Death When Swept Overheard
During Tremendous Gale.

Few living men have ever looked
death SO square in the face as a GER
tain Captain Hodson, who was for
years connected with the customs
service at Honolulu. Before that he
was a shipmaster, and the remark
able adventure Of which he was the
hero occurred while he was in com
mand of a schooner that traded In the
Pacific.
On this occasion the vessel was
several days out from land in the
midst of the ocean, when it was over
taken by a severe gale and thick
weather. For time Captain Hodson
tried to keep the schooner's head up
into the wind, but the storm became
so violent that there was nothing for
it but to run before the gale. He
brought the vessel about, and, pur.
sued by a heavy following sea, they
scudded under almost bare poles to
the nOrthWard.
The captain himself stood by the
wheel, to give the helmsman direc.
tions; the rest of the crew, having
made everything as secure as posi-
BILE, were crouched in the lee Of the
deck-house.
A flaw in the wind took the schoon-
er aback for a moment, and in that
instant a tremendous wave that was
following close behind mounted over
the bulWarks, and swept several feet
deep from stern to bow
Every one but the captain had
something at hand to cling to, al
though the wave Wrenched the man at
the wheel from his hold, and threw
him on his face. However, he brought
up against the deck-house, and scram.
bled to his feet just in time to see
the rushing water carry Captain HOd
son overheard.
HOdson'S case was as nearly hope
less as it could we'll be, for it was,
of course, quite impossible to put out
a boat in such sea, or even to bring
the schooner about to pick him up !
But at the very moment that the |
catastrophe happened, the ropes that |
held the gatf Of the foremast in place
broke, and let the stick drop to the |
deck. One end hung out over the |
side of the schooner, and several |
broken ropes dangled from it. AS Cap. |
tain Hodson swept by. these rope ends
struck him on the head. Instructive.
ly he seized one of them, and clung
to 1t with desperation.
The schooner tore on through the .
water, and her master. at the end Of |
the dangling rope, was drawn in close
under her bulwarks, and dragged |
along through the waves. He could
not have long withstood this sort Of
treatment, for the sea beat him about
tiercely and flung him again and
again against the side OF the vessel
But presently a gust Of wind lurch
ed the schooner well over: her lee
rail plunged beneath the water, and
at the same instant another wave
picked the captain up, and tossed him
sprawling on the sloping deck Bat,
tered as he was, he had enough
strength left to seize the standing rig
ging and cling to it, while the water
poured back again into the sea,
The helmsman had seen Captain
Hodson swept away to death as he
firmly believed and his astonishrnent
at seeing him back again on deck
may be imagined! Hodson was not
seriously injured by his experience,
and his vessel weathered the storm,
and brought her cargo safe into port

Communication with England
Still Maintained Over This
and Other Lines.
t,Y A,.ee,Arte ,srss,

NEW YORK, Aug. 5-Direct cable
communication with Germany was
stopped today
The German Atlantic cable line
from New York to Emben via the
Azores was cut about 1880 a. m. at
some point east of the Azores, pos
sibly by British warships. The Com
mercial Gable Company, which oper-
ates the American end of the line
made announcement of the cutting.
II was denied that the line had been
cut by British warships on this side
OF the Atlantic. The cable was
working according to announcement
as far as the Azores.
English Line Working.
Charles p. Adams, vice president
OF the Commercial Cable Company.
said there was no trouble with the
regular Commercial Gable Company's
line which runs from New York to
Nova Scotia and then to points on the
English coast. Communication with
England over the line was still
being maintained. No hope was held
out, however, for any immediate re-
storation Of communication with Ger
many over the direct line.
The cutting of the German cable
between Emben and the Azores vir-
tually completes the isolation of Ger
many from communication with the
outside world.
Through Other Countries.
All direct communication with the
United States is severed. Hereafter
all news of happenings in Germany
will have to filter through hostile
countries. Russia on the East.
France on the west and England on
the north.
