THINK FORMER AUDITOR
BAKER IN so. AMERICA

Deadwood, S. DIT is now believ-
ed that former county auditor John
=. Baker OF this city whos was de-
posed by the court for irregularities
in office, has gone to South America
as bookkeeper for q large firm.
Baker is said to have received an att
tractive offer Just before the trouble
i'll his office became public and the
fact that officers have been unable to
trace him has led to the belief that
he accepted it shortly after leaving
here supposedly on business.

| to any guaranty by the secretary of
agriculture. All guarantees now on
file with the secretary OF agriculture
shall be stricken from the files, and
the serial numbers assigned to such
guarantees shall be Cancelled
Many reputable manufacturers have
used the legend and serial number in
good faith solely as convenient way
of notifying dealer that they assum-
ed full legal responsibility for their
goods. Other manufacturers have en-
ployed this legend in such way as to
lead the public to believe that their
product had been passed upon and GER
titled by the department of agricul-
ture. The widespread deception of the
public resulting necessitated abolish
ing the departments practice of ac-
cepting guarantees for filing and issu-
ing serial numbers.
The food and drugs act does not pre-
scribe any guaranty legend or serial
number. nor has any manufacturer
FEVER been required to file guaranty
or to use a serial number or the leg
end. The appearance of the serial
number and the guaranty legend on
the products, moreover, has been of
no practical assistance to the govern
ment in detecting or prosecuting viola
ton of the food and drugs act, nor has
it promoted the manufacture and sale
of pure foods or drugs. The presence
of the number and legend on an adul-
terated or misbranded product does
not enable federal officers to secure
if the goods were not so labeled al
though in many such cases it made de-
ception of the public more certain.
The only mention of a guaranty in
the food and drugs act is section 9,
which provides that where a dealer
can show a guaranty from the maker
of goods that they comply with the
law. the manufacturer, and not the
dealer, shall be amenable to prosecu-
ton.

Abolish Food and Drug Guaranty Label

The legend Guaranteed under tbs
food and drugs act" is held to be mis-
leading and deceptive, and the use o.
serial number on food and drugs is
prohibited after May 1, 1915. by food
inspection decision signed May 5 by
the secretaries of the treasury, agricul
ture and commerce. The taking effec'
OF the new regulation is postponed un
til May l, 1915, in order to give manu-
facturers an opportunity to use ur
their present stock of labels.
After May 1. 1915,@guaranteees OF
compliance with the law should be Civ
en- by manufacturers directly to deal
ers and should be incorporated in the
invoice or bill of sale specifying the
goods covered. This guaranty should
not appear on the label or package OF
the product.
The reason for the action of the three
secretaries. as given in the decision,
are as follows:
ct having been determined that the
legends Guaranteed under the food
and drugs act, June 80. 1906. and
Guaranteed by name of guarantor)
under the food and drugs act, June so,
1906 borne on the labels of packages
of food and drugs. accompanied by
serial numbers given by the secretary
of agriculture, are each misleading and
deceptive. in that the public is Undue
ed by such legends and serial numbers
to believe that the articles to which
they relate have been examined and
approved by the government, and that
the government guarantees that they
comply with the law, the use of either
legend. or any similar legend, on labels
or packages should be discontinued
''Inasmuch as the acceptance by the
secretary of agriculture for filing of
the guarantees OF manufacturers and
dealers and the giving by him of serial
numbers thereto contribute TO the de-
ceptive character of legends on labels
and packages, no guaranty in any form
shall hereafter be filed with and no
serial number shall hereafter be given

A commission of inquiry was ap-
pointed in the summer of 1913 to in
vestigate the conditions in the Balkan
states and determine how far the
shocking reports of massacres and
atrocities were actually true. The
commission was international In char
acter. being composed of representa-
tives of Great Britain, France, Russia
and the United States and was abso-
lutely Independent OF all political
prejudices. Its report has been drawn
up and is now ready for circulation.
The contents are sufficiently horri-
flying. Atrocities have been commit
I'd t. the Balkan states and cutrages
have taken place. The commission
has been able to give a more accurate
and detailed account of the situation
and to fill in the vague reports given
out by the press. but IL has not found
that these reports were without foun-
dation. although they were. of
course, in many cases exaggerated.

stances" said Mr.. Brailsford, PRO

were brutality massacred, villages re-

Turkish war and the war of the AL

horrors. Both among the regular
troops and the irregular bands which
accompanied the armies. there were

, Gus deeds. There is EVIL
dence to show that in some cases
these acts were committed by SOL
diers acting under orders.
when a banG of soldiers or conf
tadjis, either under orders or, as was
many times the case, under the inn
pulse of hatred, greed and lust, sur
rounded and attacked a village, the
very doors of hell seemed to be
opened. No language can describe
the fortunes and griefs which fol
lowed. Repeated instances of death
by fright of girls and young children
attest the horror of the orgy of crime
which was enacted. In one house
in Doxato, to which fifty persons
had fed for safety. all but one little
girl, Chrisanthe Audom, were slaugh-
tered like beasts in the shambles. In
the same town well-to-do family
of thirteen owned and occupied one
of the best houses. After extorting
5000 from the head of the family
on the promise that they would be
spared. the soldiers proceeded to kill
them all. These are typical instances
of the many which are found in the
dispositions contained in the appen-
dices." There is also a long series
of reports of the torturSng, mutilat-
ing and staying of wounded soldiers
and instances of ill-treatment of pris-
oners.
The report also contains an ac'
count of the ethnography of the
Balkans and a history of the causes
of the war. In its entirety it con-
stitutes an important historical docu-
ment as we'll as a revelation of the
horrors of war.

don't blame the paper. What you say
in the space you buy amounts TO lot
more than the size of the space you
buy.
Talk TO the people in your adver
tisement just like you talk TO them
when they are in your store. Make
your advertisement reflect the policy
OF your institution. Give news value
to your ads and be personal and truth
full Then your newspaper advertis-
ing will produce results.
But don't expect TO advertise in the
local paper two or three times and get
results. You must plan a consistent

Il True Fish Story
By Clara Ingram Judson

q EVERAL little tiny fishes were
- playing in a creek just west of
~ town. They swan deep down
in the two feet of water and they
darted up to the surface to nibble
at a spider. They played tag and
amused themselves as all little fishes
do.
Suddenly the leader decided to
swim farther up stream, so away
they all trailed after him.
Quite a little way up the creek
two little children were playing sail
boats. Only they didn't have the
catalpa leaves, and splendid boats
they make, too.
There are so many ways to play
with them.
First, they started two at the some
time and watched them race; then.
when those were out of sight they
started a whole row across and
named each leaf for some friend and
watched to see which would beat
down stream.
JUST as this feet of leaves was
rounding "a corner out of sight it
was met by the leader of the fishes.
Dear me-" he exclaimed. looking

And he looked up and, saw the
big green boats. They seemed very
large to him for he was only a
young FISH and couldn't imagine that
such big things could be leavesi
He swan around them very care
fully and finally got brave enough
TO touch his nose up to one leaf,
but they seemed very harmless and
inclined to mind their own business.
so he gave his tail an extra wag and
swan on up the creek.
In the meantime, the two little
children were playing house boat
party.
A big green leaf supported by two
fat chips was the house boat and
three tiny dolls were the passengers.
The dolls were gaily dressed and
seemed TO enjoy their sail very much
till the boat struck rock and over
board went the dolly in the red silk
dress. The children waded in, but
they stirred up SO much sand and

of the establishment. addressing the

living beyond your means"

are able to have a big automobile?"

Later, after the children had gone
home, the leader of the fishes came
and sisters trailing behind him. He
saw the big leaf that had been the
beautiful house boat, rocking gently
against a big stone. And down I'M
derneath was a queer little object
covered with red silk. He shifted it
and he hit it, but it didn't hit back.
1t had eyes, but paid no attention
to him, a mouth but never swal-
lowed-what queer animal could it
be?
All the rest of the day he and his
brothers swan around and watched,
but the queer little creature in gay
red silk never moved so much as a
