OLD FOOD AND DRUG
LABELS STILL GOOD
Manufacturers Given Year to
Exhaust Stocks Bearing
= 0utIaWed Guaranty.

revised food inspection decision Just
announced gives manufacturers an ad-
ditional year in which to exhaust the
guaranty legends used on food and drug
packages. Instead of abolishing after
May !, 1918, the present legend, Guar
enteed by (name of guarantor) under
the food and drugs act" the effective
date Is postponed until May l, 1916 in
order to give manufacturers time to dis
pose of stocks on hand.
The Secretaries Of the Treasury, Ag-
riculture. and Commerce have declared
the guaranty legend to be deceptive.
because many people believed that all
articles so labeled had been examined
and approved by the Government
whereas use Of the legend has been en-
tirely voluntary on the part of manu-
1acturers. These officials have made II
plain that the Government never guar
antees the wholesomeness or purity of
food or drug products.
The extension of time was granted at
the request of manufacturers who de-
clared they would suffer a heavy loss II
not permitted to exhaust the supply of
labels on hand. Manufacturers who
have no old stocks of labels, however
are advised that they may label their
goods in compliance with the new regu-
1ations now. and many manufacturers
are expected to abolish the label at once

Four Forest Fires Rage
Through Maine Woods

BANGOR, Me, May 51.-Four sepa-
rate and destructive forest fires are
sweeping all before them in eastern
Maine today, and nearly 200 men have
been shipped out of this city to aid in
fighting them. None of them is under
control, and it is believed that nothing
save 4 drenching rain can check their
progress.
Three of the fires are near Kingman,
and already have covered a stretch
of heavily wooded timber five miles
long and a mile wide.
fire in Washington county. near
Cherryfield, has covered a stretch over
five miles long and three miles wide.
Burning embers are being carried for
miles. greatly increasing the danger of
the fires.
The forests are unusually dry for this
season. and il is feared that the fires
will cause the loss of thousands of dol
lars worth of standing timber.

Mills Held for Grand
Jury on Murder Charge

ROCKVILLE. Nd, May 31.-George S.
Mills, charged with the murder of Ed
ward Lowe. at Derwood, several nights
ago, has been given a preliminary hear
ing before Judge Arthur NJ Mace, In
the police court. He was committed to
Jail TO await the action of the Novem-
ber grand jury.
The testimony at the hearing showed
that Mills and several others were at
the store of Maynard HoyIe, at Der
wood, when Lowe came along. Lowe
asked Hoy'e to open the store, SO that
he could make a purchase, and Hoyle
did SO. Lowe started to follow him
into the store. when he hesitated at
the door and glanced back at Mills, who
inquired whom he was looking at, Mills,
II was stated, then picked I'D a plow-
share and struck Lowe, following this
up by striking him again with the spoke
OF an automobile wheel. Lowe lived but
n few minutes after the encounter.

But they are not afraid Of water. only
when they get near II. But that does
not eliminate the water, nor the prob

Fire. air, earth, and water. -Four
elements. yet there are only three OF
which we take account-at least here in
Washington. We have a fire depart
ment. We put up ratings IN public
places, since we know that We cannot
yet fiy. and we protect those who wish
to cast themselves repeatedly upon the
ground by placing them in a public In
stftution. Yet We make no provision for
water. The child IL taught that IRE
burns by being burnt, and he Is taught
the values of earth and air by many
falls, yet no instruction is given him
as to the qualities OF water In relation
to his own body.
, "As a result. tho normal. sensible
man. who would not get up on horse
and stand on his head on its back for q
hundred dollars, will get IN q canoe and
do approximately the same thing. A
canoe Is made to sit in. not to stand
back Is made to sit upon. not to stand
upon. or roll upon, by the perfectly IN
experienced rider.

people and chi dren.'' he continued.
''but with the city government. There

in the four sections of the city. There
children should be taught not only to
care for themselves in the water. but
should be instructed in the nanipula-
ton Of the smaller pleasure boats.
Only Ignorant Take Chances.
"It Is a crime that swimming Is not
free and compulsory. 1t is as much
the part of the education Of the indf-
vidual as study of books All OF the
accidents on the water come from one
kind of ignorance or another. River
inen and men whose lives are spent on
or near small bodies of water live just
as long as other people. IL not longer.
The more they know about water. the
more they respect It.. Tho young fool
takes chances daily that the rtverrnen
would never take in all of his life.
"Automobiling has killed many people.
yet there seems to be no concerted
movement toward stopping automobil-
ing. The State merely takes preverta-
tive measures. posts warnings. makes
rules and informs the general public
what to do and what not to do. The
result is a minimum loss Of life.
yet the water ways, which offer the
most delightful and really harmless
source Of pleasure, arc neglected by
the Government, spoken of only in re-

there are no disfigur1ng factories.
No factories as get mar the banks

plant, but 1t is too far away to do any
harm. For the most part the Virginia
shore is a mass of thick green foliage
growing upon high palisades of solid

tiny beaches afford rest for canoes, and

No Attention to Beauty.
Yet neither the Government nor priv
ate owners Of property have seen fit
to beautify the Potomac river as 1t
winds its way past the National Capt.
tai. through the most picturesque por-
ton of its course. The District shore,
in fact, is A disgrace.
Aside from the Analostan and Po-
tomac Boat Clubs and Moore's and
Dempsey's lighthouses. where canoes
may be rented, there are no buildings or
improvements worthy Of mention on the
upper river. A few camps dot the VI

not mar the landscape. On the other

The same shiftless abandonment OF
property which disfigures the entrance
to Conduit road. from the foot Of
Twenty-third and NJ streets to where
the road crosses the street car track,
biotches the river front-for perhaps a
mile on the District side. Happily, tho
chosen course for canoeists is the Vir-
ginia side, but there is no reason, ex-
cept the unsightly scenery. why they
should not remain on the District side
for some distance.
Compared with the whole three-n1!le
distance. the unpleasant portion is
slight and not very hard to avoid. but
Il is a lasting disgrace that 1t Is on
the District shore. and neither In Mary
land nor in Virginia, where there would
be less pressing call for its improve
ment.
River Unquestionably Safe.
The river is unquestionably safe 'e-
tween Chain and Aqueduct bridges.
Hero there are no rapids. no whirlpools.
no eddies. and no current to speak OF.

and comfort to the hot city man and
woman, but a trap for the unwary."
The rigid supervision OF owners Of the
boat houses ON this portion Of the river
and Of the clubs located thereon, has
much to do with the small fact that
there are scarcely any accidents at all.
The right to refuse to rent a canoe Is
reserved by the boat owners.
