Councilman o. c. Draper, chairman of
the law committee of City Council, and
Councilman Weller L. Stover held CON
ference at Council chambers this morn
ing, when they considered the proposed
pure food ordinance passed by Council
and which was declared at a hearing be-
fore Mayor Howell last night not to con
tain the amendments made TO it when
passed.
The duplicate Of the original draft OF
the ordinance was compared today with
the original one passed by Council, which
had been sent to Mayor Howell. This
duplicate they found was identical in
every respect with the one passed by
Council
II was also explained today that the
printed ordinance given out last
night did not contain two of the
amendments which had been incor-
porated in the copy the Mayor receiv-
ed. These related to the offering for
sale of meats which had been re-
moved from cold storage and then
replaced in storage, and also to the
prohibiting of the manufacturing OF
ice cream or candy or the offering OF
milk for sale below the surface OF
the street unless the same be inspect
ed and approved by the Board OF

section of the ordinance dealing with
the sale OF milk, allows milk to be sold

clause, claiming they could not sell

WAR ON RATS NOW

By The United Press.

By The United Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-Phila-
delphia has declared war on rats.
Every rodent has a price on its head.
DR. Richard II. Harte, director OF
health, is paying two cents per head
for dead rats and five cents for live
ones.
Two reasons underlie the city's
campaign against the rodents. The
first is that the rats of Philadelphia
destroy from 81 to So per year each
in property and provisions. The es
timated loss is put at S1,O0O,000 an.
nually. The second reason is that th'
city health authorities are taking
every precaution against the dreaded
