issue OF the service and regulatory an
nouncements. the bureau OF chemistry
OF the u. s. department of agriculture
holds that the label is no obstacle
against such products being used for
food. Before they can be shipped,
therefore, in interstate commerce they
must be so denatured that they can
only be used for technical purposes.
Another opinion deals with prospect
i've violations of the law compelling all
food products shipped in interstate
commerce after September 3. 1914, to
have the net weight stated on the la
bel. The department holds that the
burden of proof rests upon the per-
sons guilty of such violations TO show
that the products in question were
either prepared or imported prior to
Sept. g. Persons who cannot prove
this will be subject to penalties pre-
scribed by the food and drugs act.
Opinions on the correct branding OF
canned vegetables, poultry, food, and
cheeses are also announced. Accord
ing TO these, the use OF sugar in can
ming does not justify the use of such
terms as sweet corn, sugar corn, and
sugar peas. These terms must be re-
served for the varieties OF the vege-
tables in question which are distinctly
sweet and which are known as sugar
corn or sugar peas in their natural
state.
When shipped in interstate COM
merce or otherwise subject to the
food and drugs act, all skinned or
part skinned cheeses must be plain
" branded skinned" or partly skim
med" in accordance with the facts. on
the wrapper or container of each
cheese. Where the cheese is of the
size commonly sold to one customer
the rind of the cheese itself must bear
the statement
In regard to poultry foods, the bu-
reau holds that a certain amount of
calcium carbonate or calcium phos-
plate is to be considered as poultry
food. and that when this amount is
not excessive, no statement in regard
TO the quantity of grit is demanded by
the federal law.

Why is a Chill so Shivery?

A complaisant individual who has
just caught "cold" from a careless
or ignorant friend-you can't catch
one from anybody else-soon expe-
riences a chilly sensation or an actual
shivering chattering chill as one of the
earliest symptoms. 1t matters little
whether he is developing coryza
(head "cold'), bronchitis. pleurisy.
pneumonia, tonsilitis or what. The
chill warns him, not that something
unpleasant is going to happen If he
doesn't hurry home and take a hot
bath, but that something has already
happened. He has become infected
with germs handed him gratuitously by
his loving friend.
The Chill Is Only symptom.
The chill of pneumonia is perhaps
the strongest prop of the catching cold
delusion. An apparently healthy per
son is seized with severe chill. From
what cause? Well. he doesn't exactly
know, but leave it to him and his
friends to find a suitable defect of
weather to blame. But If we take the
mans temperature in the midst of
his chill we invariably find his inter
nal temperature elevated above nor
NAL, cold as he thinks he is. This
presence of fever during the chill
proves to the doctors satisfaction, at
least, that the pneumonia germs had
effected a landing in the lung some
few hours prior TO the beginning of the
chill. Hence the accidental weather
change or draft or wetting of cloth
ing or whatever the friends have cho-
sen to blame, is not guilty-but of
course the doctor does not always re-
turn an open verdict. The force of
public opinion is against him, and he
knows he can do more for the patient
than some other doctor could.
Malaria, septic blood poisoning.
qufnsy, erysipelas. and many other
plain unmitigated germ diseases are
introduced by chills or cnilliness-
yet no one attributes them to bad
weather or wet feet or drafts.
Not Every sneeze Counts Ten.
II an individual is subject to chronic
nasal catarrh. for instance. he IS apt
TO be very sensitive to sudden changes
of temperature or moisture in the air.
His nose becomes unusually stuffy at
such times. and II he is careless of
speech he is inclined to say he has
taken a fresh cold" But In a few
hours he forgets all about this fresh
cold'-having returned to the air out
doors or indoors or wherever he is
most comfortable-and is as well as
ne ordinarily is. All OF which is mere
iy the reaction OF his circulation to |
surface changes. II is n good thing

this way. Otherwise he really would

WHO MAKES THE PORK BARREL?

or course, getting something for the
district helps the congressman to keep
his political fences intact and occas-
ionally to extend them. But this very
fact indicates that he is merely doing
what his constituents demand In
drawing pn the public treasury to
finance absurd projects for his com
munity.
The basis of the pork barreT evil
lies in the fact that the constituents
of the average congressman have not
yet grasped the plain truth that good
government must make the selfish IN
terests of any section or district sec
ondary to the general good and that
every draft on the public treasury
must be paid by the people them
selves. When the congressman con-
stituency learns to Judge his useful
ness by his services in behalf OF the
nation as a whole, rather than by his
ability to get something for the dis
trict," the pork barrel will be per-
manently smashed. But not until
then.

The department of agriculture has
found in the course of recent in

man bodies that the medical profess

know that 1t is essential to life and
that when used as a drug it has "a very
powerful effect upon the whole human
system. This information should be
sufficient to warn anyone against dos
ing himself blindly with the drug.
The thyroid gland is an organ which
varies considerably in accordance with
the kind of animal in which it occurs.
In man IL is situated in the throat in
front and on both sides of the larynx,
and consists OF lateral lobes united by
a narrow bridgelike central portion.
Its presence in the body is apparently
necessary to the health of its possess

drug it may have anything but
healthy effect upon its user.
For medical use a number OF Sleeps

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

John Barrett, director general of the
Pan American union, in whom there is
local interest because OF the fact that
he has arranged to deliver an address
before the After-Dinner club in Mo
line next month. has pointed out some
vital conditions which have been over
looked by many Americans who have
sught TO avail themselves of the OPP
portunity for trade which the Central
and South American countries offer as
q result of the war abroad.
A great many have supposed that all
It was necessary to do was TO pack up
a line of samples, hurry TO the south
and proceed TO do business. A num-
Der have started out on this assump-
ton and have come TO grief.
The fact is that South American
finances are in a bad way through the
closing of the centers OF Europe with
which they have been doing business
and new connections viii have to be
made before much business of an in
ternational nature IS transacted
But this issnot all South American
and Central American countries can
not buy manufactured products unless
they can find a market for their food
stuffs and raw materials. In other
words. II the United States wishes 20
take the place OF the European nations
in selling in the south II must arrange
TO buy as heavily and build up as salts
factory line OF financial connections.
In the long run this country IN
doubtedly will reap some profit through
closer trade relations with the other
republics on this continent as a result
OF the war IN Europe but in order to
do so IL must exert some intelligent eE
fort in preparing the way.

Thyroid Dangerous Weapon Against Fat

therefore those preparations that con-
tain it are especial favorites with per-
sons who desire to rid themselves OF
what they think is superfiuous flesh.
Unfortunately it is not possible to re-
move tissue at will without running
great risk of destroying heath at the
same time. Abnormal deposits of fat
are frequently accompanied by disor-
ders of the heart, blood vessels and
kidneys. To remove these deposits
abruptly may well produce serious
mechanical effects upon the operation
of the internal organs. For this rea-
son the medical profession has long
recognized that obesity should be con-
sidered as a condition worthy of the
most skillful treatment and that a
cure Is never easily and quickly at
tanned. Thyroid preparations, more
over, are particularly Objectionable
because of the direct effect of the sub
stances composing them. These sub
stances, administered in drug form,
may produce symptoms which are
commonly associated with certain
forms of goiter, namely, rapid and ir-
regular pulse, palpitation of the heart,
nervous irritability, darkening of the
skin, difficulty in breathing, paralysis
and even death.
Trained physicians may administer
the drug to obtain certain desired eff
fects, but they know that they must
use great care in doing so and must
be prepared to grapple with serious
complications that may arise in con-
sequence of its administration
