THE wEsTFIELD STANDARD.
BY NORMAN HAPGooD,

In the purefood progress in this coun'
try, valuable part even brilliant
part, has been played by what has be-
come known as The Wcstfeld Movement,
In the year 1904, Professor Lewis u.
Allyn, working in that little Massachu.
sets town, began TO analyze foods for
certain grocers, and to tell them whether
these foods We're what they purported to
be, The grocers found ii very much to
their interest to have brands OF food
which had obtained Professor Allyn's APP
proval, because the people OF Westiield
liked TO go to the grocers store and buy
what they were sure would be entirely
free from harmful ingredients,
When this work was brought to my
attention, became very enthusiastic
about IT, The American people are get
ting fairer deal in business and in poll
ties, but il has always worried me that
so much condemnation was required,
with so little encouragement
When the fight for the national pure
food law was on, il was necessary to-
pound the less intelligent food manufac
turers before we could secure that law.
The Wcstfield idea suddenly opened up a
vista of progress along the lines of en-
couraging the good, instead of putting
emphasis on condemnng the bad.
II we could 20 before the public with
a statement that such and such foods
were good, and induce the public to
listen, that would be far more effective
thing to do than pointing out what was
bad. We could enlist the co cooperation
of the consumer, the grocer and the in
telligent manufacturer because, OF
course. the high-class manufacturer
would find it far easier to carry on his
business on the best plan If the atten-
ton of the public could be centered on
those foods which deserved support.
We engaged Professor Allyn, there
fore to 90 to the food shows as they
came along. He INDUCED in almost no
attacks. He simply wrote a description
in which he told what articles in the
show reached the standard set at West !
field.
Interest grew rapidly and enormously. |
All over the country different organiza-
tons, especially organizations Of WON /
en-, began to organize food shows, with |
the idea of purity in mind, all camoring
to have Professor Allyn write them up |
He followed the movement around the !
country, with the high spirit Of enthusi-
ism which is part of his nature with !

Interesting Facts About the Foot and

Foot and mouth disease exploded in

skeletons and considerable proportion

FEW FLAWS
in LABOR LAWS
John Mitchell Praises New
York Compensation
BAY STATE LAW
WORKS WELL
Gathering of Labor Legisla-
ton Association in
Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Dec. 20-The wOrkmen's
compensation law in operation in New
York state gives general satisfaction
with the possible exception of the mat
ter of insurance rates, which experience
is proving to have been too high said
John Mitchell yesterday in an address
before the American Association for La
Dor Legislation. Mr.. Mitchell, who is 4
member OF the New York state work
mans compensation commission, said the
| high rate of insurance is the common
experience Of every state adopting com
pcnsation laws. Lack of compiled sta
tistics,' he added, "compels the rate
makers to put themselves on the safe
| side, and rate to be safely high must
be too high.
"In the administration of the state in
surance fund, the commission has been
able to declare a general average OF 20
per cent reduction in rates, and in addi-
ton to that refund ID per cent dividend
upon business OF the first semi.dnnuai
period" Mr.. Mitchell said that in the
schedule of compensation So % per
cent is not too high. When the opera
tion of the law has settled TO a firm
basis OF administration, he said. it will
entail little or no added burden upon
the industries of the state.
Joseph A. Parks OF the Massachusetts,
industrial accident board told how Mas
sachusetts as result of two years ex-
perience had raised its compensation
scale from 50 per cent TO 66 2-3 per cent,
and how, by consent OF both employers
and employees, it had decided to compen-
safe for occupational diseases as well as
for accidents resulting in injury.
With more than 200 delegates in at
tendance from all parts of the country,
the meeting was opened by Ale reading
OF message from DIR. Martin Bruno
baugh. goyernor-eect Of Pennsylvania,
on Pennsylvania opportunity to enact
an adequate workmen's compensation
law in 1915.
Congressman Daniel J. McGillicuddy Of
Maine spoke on "NNorkmen's Compensa.
ton for Federal Employees" modern
bill for which he has introduced in the
House OF Representatives "In 800
page report said Mr.. McGillicuddy, the
federal bureau OF labor statistics recent
Iy described the first five years opera
tons under the present out.of date and
inadequate compensation law for fed

The Sanitary Effects of Music.

To what are the beneficent eff
fects of music due? Darwin, who
never rested until he would ex-
plain a thing, If it is explainable,
could netherless no more explain
why musical tones in a certain
order and rythm afford pleasure,
than we can account for the pleas
antness of certain odor and taste.
eve know that sounds, more or
less melodlous, are produced dur
Ing the season of courtship by
many insects, spiders, fishes, am
phibians and birds" After all,
says The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, we need
60 no deeper for an adequate ex-
PLANTATION than that influences,
such as music, which are agree
able, are therefore salutary, and
music is agreeable because its
component tones are regular,
periodic vibrations even auditory
waves precisely so many to each
note, being iu this regard unlike
noises which are irregular, dis
sonant, conflicting vibrations.
Sound waves impinge on the hear
ing sense. whence the perception
is conveyed to the brain. The
benlgnant influence of music
physically is by the transmission
of its influence from the rebrum
through the sympathetic system,
which directs the various organs.
Thus not only is music physic for
the soul, dissipating mental de-
preston, soothing psychic per-
turbations; but its Influence may
also enhance nutrition, further
digestion las by the oliver music"
of theFrench) and restore organic
equilibrium. Indeed, the entire
working of the human mechan-
ism, physical and mental alike,
may be fabricated by a stream of
music which art and science
should therefore have q place in
the medical armamentarium.
