LABEL LAW IN EFFECT
Act Requiring Risht--Drandins and
Labelling Of Al Food stuffs Effective
Since Sept. 3-Manufaetursrs. and
: Jobbsrs Given Eighteen Months to
Comply.

Special to Times Republican.
Dcs Moines, Sept 15.--No further
time is given under the Iowa law for
conformity to the Iowa law requiring
the right branding and labelling of all
foodstuffs. Time Is up,
The Iowa law provides that IAN ar
ticle of food shall be deemed to be mis-
branded If the quantity Of the con-
tents be not plainly and conspicG6usly
marked on. the outside OF the package
in terms of weight, measure or num-
erical count"
There is provision of course for
variations to be tolerated by the food
and dairy department, but the main
provisions of the law are as stated.
An exemption of eighteen months
was granted to enable manufacturers
and jobbers to adjust their labels to
conform to this act" said Mr.. Barney,
food commissioner yesterday. The
exemption expired sept. 3, 1914. the
act Is now in full force and effect In
this state and any foods in package
form not properly labeled are Illegal
and subject to the penalty provisions"
The requirements under the federal
law are the same as under the state
law. The important thing just now is
to have all dealers understand that
time is up on the granting of time to
get ready for the law and from this
time on II will be enforced.

proval Of the workmen's compensation

recommendation that the state provide
for handling the improvisation fund al
least possible expense TO the en-
ployers and elimination OF the loading

The big feature Of Mr.. Garst's re-
port is that which points out the
weakness of the system Of com pulsory
insurance but leaves the employer to
be exploited by the privately owned
company. II is pointed out that this
system is unfair TO the employer and

virtually forces on the employer n dis

supervision, eliminating ell needless
cost so that every dollar of It goes to
the benefit of the Injured workmen.

CONNOLLY LOSING HOPE
Democratic Candidate For Senator
Scods Party Leaders For Lack of
Faith and For Failure to Rally TO
His Support.

Des Moines. Sept 15-That there is a
chance of election of Maurice Connol
~. candidate for United States senator
against Senator Cummins. came to the
surface in the reports from most of
the districts. made at the state con-
ference held yesterday afternoon at the
democratic state headquarters. The
district committeeman all predicted the
election OF John T. Hamilton TO the Of
flee of governor, but some of them as
serted that the candidate for senator
has many things TO overcome which DO
not handicap Hamilton.
In spite of the fact that the central
committee did not offer chairs for the
visiting democrats so that the confer
ence could be carried on comfortably,
the rooms of the central committee
were crowded during the session.

is III at his home in Creston. Charles
Rodgers of E,ldora presided There
were spaslns of enthusiasm. but most
of the orator.. was received without
demonstration.
All the talks dwelt upon the need
of orga nization and the capitalization
of dissatisfaction in the republican
ranks.
After all the districts had reported
and some of the opinions cast doubt
upon the ability of the democrats to
put Connolly across. Chairman Rodg-
ers scolded the assembly for its lack
Of faith.
He said he has been over fifteen
counties and that he is of the opin-
ION that Connolly and Hamilton are
running neck and necA. He stated
that he believes that Connolly has
as good a chance to win as Hamilton
and that he feels certain of both.
Only three district reports referred
to capitol extension as an issue in the
campaign. The general prevailing SEN
tirnent among the democrats, as ex-
pressed yesterday, Is that capitol ex-
tension is merely side issue and that
it should not be carried too far in the
campaign.
The expense Of the capitol extern
sion to the individual tax payer is so

CURED to install a meter this fall, and
at the end of each quarter the city will
rebate a certain amount on the water
bill until the city may own the meters.
The city manager has estimated that
the consumption of water per capita is
around sixty gallons Under the pres
ent rate of 40 cents per thousand gall
Ions the revenue should amount to
nearly 1000 but instead the receipts
are but little over $4,000. 1t is

that the rate may be reduced from 40
