A Little About Drugs.

A reading of the state pure food
and drug law will show under section
that the term drug" as used in the
act, includes "all medicines and prep
arations recognized in the United
States pharmacopoceia or national
formulary for internal or external
use, and any substance or mixture OF
substances intended to be used for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
eases of either man or other animals y
The average reader does not know
what the United States pharmaco-
poeia or national formulary are, and
a word of explanation will be inter-
esting.
About 1880 it was borne in upon the
doctors of the United States that the
drugs which they were prescribing
did not always produce the same re-
suits. Seeking for the reason of this.
the most natural explanation was
that their purity varied, and they set
about to remedy this condition, in
tolerable both from the standpoint Of
the interest of the medical profession
and the relief of suffering humanity.
Accordingly they called into their
counsel the dealers in these drugs
and the medical profession and the

is one of the most important laws Oh
the statue books, tending as much as
any other to produce right living con-
ditions and to Danish disease from
our families.
Section 2, of this act, provides that
the floors, sidewalk, ceilings, furni-
ture, receptacles, implements, ETC., OF
every establishment or place where
food is handled, and all cars, vehicles,
etc, used in the transportation mus:
not be kept in an unclean, unhealth-
full and unsanitary condition. For
the purpose of the act, "unclean, I'M

ton, ETC., or handling of any sort is
not securely protected from flies, dust
and dirt, and as far as may be noces-
sary by all reasonable means from all
other foreign or injurious contamina-
ton. Now this means that foods ex-
posed for sale in grocery stores which
shall be deemed to exist" If food in
the process of manufacture, prepara-
are liable to contamination by flies.
and which do not have to be cooked
or peeled before being eaten, must not
be exposed out on the counter where
flies, dust and dirt can get at them.
Some of these foods are such things
as bread, dried aples, cakes, pies,
meats, etc. 1t also means that food
shall not be exposed on the sidewalk,
as was formerly the case in the state,
without protection by glass or some
other form of solid covering. We are
glad to say that the practice of side
walk exposure of fruit and foods of
all sorts is pretty well stopped in the
state now. A consumer ought to
watch this point, and if a grocer ex-
poses such fruit, either inside or out
side of his store, to contamination in
this way, he ought to quit him 80
quickly that it will make his head
swim" There is nothing which will
so quickly convert any dealer, mot
even a prosecution by the pure food
and drugs Department.. as will the
touching of the pocket nerve by one
of his good customers quitting him.
Consumers therefore, owe it to them
selves to do this, and they can be
more effective than any prosecution
can be.

SHACKLEFORD

SAYS TT IS NOT ADVISABLE FOr REPUBLICANS TO TAKE
 ANY ACTION

JUNEAU, July 29.-Shackleford, Bayless and others of the leading Re- publicans of the territorial capi al have come out with statements en- dorsing the action taken by Charles F.. Heron, chairman of the territori Il committee. When seen these two mrr and others stated that Mr. Heron had voiced the sentiments of them and their colleagues when he decided that it is not advisable to take ar, action unless the position and pla'' form of the other parties has first been determined.
 The general opinion here, therefore, is that the Republicans are out of the fight for delegate as party this time. It is possible that a part will be taken in the elections for the ter rtorial legislature but nothing his been decided in this respect by the To- cal members of the party.

MIME. CAILLAUX
 IS ACQUITTED
JURY BELIEVES EDITOR DE SERVED HIS FATE AT THE
 HANDS OF WOMAN

PARIS, July 2S.-Madame Caillau, was acquitted this afternoon of the charge of murdering Editor CahnetL, of the Paris Figaro. The jury toof. only a short time to reach verdict. The general opinion is that the mem Ders of the jury concluded that ;ho editor had no right because of his pc- litical enmity to her husband to pup fish love letters which were well ca. culated to disgrace her.
 Chenu, the lawyer for the Figaro people, made a powerful plea for co .- viction. He is ore of the most emi- nent lawyers in France but his mag nifcent address fell on ears which had already heard the story of Calmettc's s rotten journalism and his words were unheeded.
 The greatest joy has been exhibited by the followers of the Caillaux fac. tion and the husband of the woma was almost beside himself. He stood by his wife throughout the trial with the fierce energy of a tiger and was ready at any moment to call out any man who dared to asperse her char acter.

SAN FRANCISCO GETS TIRED OF BEING TOO GOOD AND

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-Tnc police commission of this city is now deadlocked on the question as to whether Barbary coast shall bo re' opened wide and the chances are go Dd that the notorious district will so> Il be in full swing once again.

 It is pretty well known that the Barbary coast was never fully closed entirely and the opinion is that 1t might as we'll be fully open and watched as to be open in secret.

That Portage Bay as a terminal tV" a government railroad may be re- garded as an absurdity is in sub stance the statement of A. H. Brad ford. civil engineer, who has jus. made a careful examination of the conditions over there. Mir. Bradford is q fellow alumnus of Chairman Edes of the government railroad commits sion having been graduated from tte same college.
 Because Mir. Bradford made a spo' cial examination and because he is one of the best qualified men his statement about that place is given exactly word for word here. This his statement given verbatim when he returned from his examination yes terday:
 "Portage Bay or Passage Can-' which has been advanced as possi- ble ocean terminus for the proposed government railroad into the interior is one of the dreariest and most desc late looking spots on the entire Alas ka coast. High mountain ranges anu barren glaciers flank it on all sides completely surrounding a gravel fl u of some 32O acres which is the only available terminal ground upon wh' + a town could be built.
 "Of this S2O acres not over 16O is available for freight sheds, admits tration buildings and the homes of several thousand hardy American citizens who in the course of time must naturally cluster around so im- portant a place on the Alaska coast as the ocean terminal of Uncle Sans railroad into the interior.
 "The remainder of the gravel flat is taken up entirely by two large glacial streams emptying into Po't- age Bay through many different channels which drain respectively Portage and Longfellow glaciers ser eral large glacial morraines and the present flood plain of the two above

mentioned glaciers. In order to rea-h the interior from Portage Bay tun- nel variously estimated at two and q quarter to two and a half miles mus, first be driven through the mount;i'r directly back of the flat. This tunnci would debouch on the opposite side or the mountain at an elevation of about 160 feet overlooking a valley floor which was formerly lake bottom. This valley would have to be crossed on a high tressel which would inter- sect second high mountain on the opposite side This mountain would also have to be tunneled for at least 1000 feet to one mile, emerging on the mountain side on the Turnagin Arr, side of Portage glacier. Then heavy rock work would be encountered for at least mile m order to establish a uniform grade to connection with mile 63.55 on the Alaska Northern.
 'The chief drawbacks to the Port age Bay route arc long tunnels aggre- gating at least three and half miles which might be destroyed by eartn- quakes or the advance of Portage glacier, poor terminal facilities on the bay proper and deep anchorage. The only anchorage in Portage Bay being close to shore. The best spot is about two miles from the head or the bay and this within 800 yards os the beach, which is too close and ris' l'y for ocean going vessels requiring annie swinging room.
 "The bay is completely walled in by high mountains which must sh'st out the sun for several months in th' winter beside acting as collectors ard precipitators of a copious rainfall. The prospects for homes and dwell- ings is certainly cheerless to say tlr least"

BRUSSELS, Belgium, J'fT 25.- Nestor Willart, banker, has been sen fenced to ten years imprisonment and five accomplices have received shorter terms for swindling the public out e three and ha'f million dollars in connection with the nt-Terneuzen railroad. The swindling was accom- plished by the over issue of shares in the concern which is the only pri vate owned railroad in Belgium. Al the other railroads in that country arc owned and operated by the gover = ment and the case of Willart is an additional proof of the value of gov ernment ownership.
