AbOlishes Food and Drug
Act Guarantee to End
Deception of the Public

WASHINGTON, May Alleging
widespread deception Of the public by
certain manufacturers through the
use of the legend. Guaranteed un-
der the food and drugs act" the Fed
eral Food Inspection Board in a de-
oision announced that the guaranty
legend and the serial number on
packages of food and drugs would be
prohibited after May l, 1915. After
that date, the board holds, guarantees
OF compliance with the law should be
given by the manufacturers directly
to dealers and should be incorporated
in the invoice or bill of sale, specify
ing the goods covered.
The board held that the legends
Guaranteed under the food and
drugs act" and guaranteed (by name
of guarantor) under the food and
drugs act" borne on labels or packs
ages of food and drugs, accompanied
by serial numbers given by the sec
rotary of agriculture are misleading
and deceptive because through their
use the public is induced to believe
that the articles to which they relate
have been examined and approved by
the government and that the govern
ment guarantees that they comply
with the law.

SOHO HOSPITAL
AWARD HELD Up
Charged That Storms & Co.
Failed on Other Contracts.
Taylor Its Head.

The awarding of the contract for
the installation of a fire alarm sys-
tenn at the Soho Hospital, on which
Storms & Co. were the lowest bidders,
was again held UP by the building
committee of the Board of Freehold
ers yesterday. Freebooter William
Cardwell opposed the awarding of the
contract on the ground that Storms
& Co. had failed in the fulfllment of
contracts in the past.
Director Evans stated that he had
heard since talking with Charles P.
Taylor, president of the Board of Edu-
cation, who is the new head of the
concern, that Mr.. Taylor was connect
ed with the firm at the time the for
mer contract was made, although the
latter had stated at the time of their
conversation that he knew nothing of
the freeholders experience with the
company. Mr.. Taylor, he said, offered
to put the lighting system in shape,
and in view of that offer, he declared,
he was surprised at the report that he
was member of the original COM
pany for if it were true Mr.. Taylor
must have known of the contract with
the company.
On motion of Freebooter Ryman,
seconded by the director, the matter
was deferred for two weeks to give
Storms & Co. an opportunity to repair
the lighting system.
On motion of Director Evans Chair
man Lacombe was authorized to
have the purchasing committee pur-
chase an automobile fire truck and
other apparatus for the Overlook
Asylum.
Applications for increases in sal
airy by the three Court House ele-
vator operators from 5000 to $1,000,
