for putting the spring crops in the market

Developing lust Naturally

Punta Gorda is now developing just
naturally. without any studied effort, a
reputation among the women visitors to
the city that is destined to go far toward
making 1t attractive.
Its simple cordially good will and well
coming attitude of the ladies of the city

mime tourists now here
One lady who has travelled widely said,
II was never more surprised in my life
than at the generosity OF the people here.

LABEL is NO PROTECTION.

Food and DRUGS Act

Washington, Sept. 29.-Interstate
shipments OF food products that are
regarded az unfit for human con-
sumption and have not been denatured
will hereafter be seized by the federal
authorities. no matter what labels they
may bear.
In an opinion published in the last
issue of the service and regulatory an
nouncements. the bureau of chemistry
OF the United States 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 COM
merce they must be so denatured that
they can only be used for technical
purposes.
Another opinion deals with prospec.
tive 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 persons
guilty OF such violations to show that
the products In question were either
prepared or imported prior TO Sept. 8.
Persons who cannot prove this will be
