to imply European importation completed
the deception. The wine turned out to be
combination of neutral spirits and arti-

The earthquake which overwhelmed the
city Of Messina jumped the price of lemon
oil from IS cents to IS a pound simply
because the territory so irretrievably des-
olated could never again supply this
country with nearly all of the lemon oil
1t used. Thus good economic reason
exists for the enormous increase in price
but the federal authorities discovered
that a number of American dealers have
been charging as high for the oil residue
as they do for the first-class product
After they drew off and prepared lemon
oil of the first grade they took the dregs
ents and sold the mixture under a mis-
leading label at the same high price de-
manded for the genuine article.
But all misbrandings and all harmful
authorizations cannot be brought to book
under the present law. even by the
mighty United States government. The
market is carrying today brand OF
mace labeled Bombay and Batavia
Mace" Batavia mace is a genuine spice
mace whereas the Bombay variety is
merely botanical in character. having
practically no flavor or taste. This par
ticular mixture was nearly all Bombay
mace. with modicum of the very nee
essary Batavia mace. Being properly la
beled, within the letter of the law, IT
escapes prosecution. No patent medicine
manufacturer would offer to the public
a concoction named. for instance, Bun
kum's Peerless Opium Headache Pow
ders' or "Skinum's Gin Dope for Wom-
en-" But with impunity they flood the
market with patent medicines containing
these and other dangerous and poisonous
drugs by the simple expedient Of saying
somewhere on the label, as part of the
long eulogy of the stuff. that it contains,
with other things, this or that poison.

CHICAGO TEACHERS OPPOSE
ALL-YEAR SCHOOL TERMS
Also Object to Plan to Have Glass
Day Last Until 5>or $50
O'Clock in Evening.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Neither twelve
months of continuous school nor a
class day lasting until or $50 o'clock
in the afternoon is favored by Chicago
school teachers. However. it Is proba-
BILE that one or the other of these plans
will soon be recommended to the board
Of education by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young.
superintendent of Chicago public
schools.
The propositions, neither of which
provided for additional salaries, were
placed before the teachers at meetings
throughout the city yesterday.
Reports to Mrs. Young today will
show that the teachers were almost
unanimous in their opposition to both
plans.
These arguments were advanced by
the teachers against the lengthening
of the school sessions:
THAT a school day lasting from 9
o'clock in the morning until or $3.50
in the afternoon would be a menace to
the child's health and that 1t would be
so tiresome to the growing child that
no. educational advantages would be
gained.
That the summer vacation is abso-
lutely essential to the health and well
fare of not only the pupil. but of the
teacher as well.
That the teachers now are under
paid and that this additional work. for
which they would receive no additional
compensation, would be an imposition"
Under the plan for the elimination of
the summer vacation it was suggested
that the teachers could take a vaca-
ton Of three months without pay.
Teachers who SO desired would be per-
mitted to work the entire twelve
months, but would be required to take
a three-month vacation without pay
once every four years.

Recent Investigations on cancer in

new interest in the question as to
whether dread cancer infection can slip
into the healthy home by way Of Its

Cancer in fish was found in nineteen
hatcheries from Maine to Yakima, Wash
The same is said to be true in hatch
cries in all parts--of the world. Only
artificially grown trout have the dis
ease, and It's virulence Is greatest in
the last of a succession of ponds drained
by the same stream. Despite the ap-
parently established fact that cancer Is
non-contagious. dogs drinking the pond
water develop the growths. Rats fed on
the scraps from the hatchery troughs
also become cancerous. Perhaps cancer
is to be classed with typhoid, cholera
and other germ diseases which have been
shown to be communicable to man by
water.
Discovery of means of curing and
preventing cancer will relieve the race
