United States Government Articles
New Standard for Condensed
Milk Is Made BY Government

CONDENSED or evaporated milk should
~ be made from the whole, fresh, clean
milk produced by the complete milking of
healthy cows, and contain a definite
amount of nutritiye materials as indi-
Gated by milk tat and total solids, accord
ing to a food inspection decision issued
by the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The definition embodied in the
decision will guide the officials OF the
Department in the enforcement of the
food and drugs act.
The product, to be in accordance with
the definition, must contain not less than
25.5 per cent of total solids and not less
than rs per cent of milk fat.
The total solids include all the sub
stances in the condensed or evapOrated
milk except moisture. and are, therefore,
an index of the actual food value of the
product. The Department officials are of
the opinion that by fixing a minimum
below which neither the total solids nor
milk fat may fall, a condensed milk of
high nutritive value is insured. 1t is
stated that no tolerance whatsoever below
the quantities fixed in the decision will
be permitted.
The definition also requires that the
milk must be from cows properly fed
and kept, and is intended to prevent the
sale of condensed milk made from milk
from cows fed upon unwholesome feeding
stuffs, such as swill and brewery slop, or
which have been kept under such insani-
tary or otherwise unfavorable conditions
as might impair the quality of the milk.
The definition for condensed milk as
embodied in the food inspection decision
is the same as the definition and standard
recommended by a joint committee from
certain state and National organizations
having to do with the enforcement OF laws
relating to foods. The organizations rep
resented on the joint committee on defini-
tons and standards are: The American
Association of Dairy. Food and Drug or
ficials, the Association of Official Agri-
cultural Chemists, and the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The joint committee on definition and
standards is the outgrowth OF a move
ment to increase the efficiency of the en-
forcement of state and Federal food laws
by the adoption of uniform standards.
The standard for condensed milk has al
ready beer adopted by a number OF
states. Additional legislation Will be re-
ouired in some states before it can be
made a legal standard in those states.

Jail Men for Shipment of
Rotten Eggs i'm New Jersey

CEVEN of the men connected with the
- Western Egg Yolk Company and the
Excelsior Baking Company, so-called, of
New Jersey, who were convicted of con-
spiraey to violate the food and drugs act
in the interstate shipment of rotten eggs,
have been sentenced in the Federal Court
at Trenton, n. j., to terms in prison rang
ing from three months to a wear and a
day. Hyman Lewis, Bernard Edelberg,
Samuel Edelberg. aud Morris Sladkus re-
ceived the latter sentence, Herman Zwick-
err and Harry Lewites, six months each,
and Scheir Weissman, who was recon-
mended for mercy, three months.
Some of the defendants, it was proved,
were doing business under the name
Western Egg Yolk Company. and others
under the name of the Excelsior Baking
Company for the purpose of purchasing
eggs which had been condemned and de-
natured in New York City and selling
them to bakers in Jersey City, N. j., in
violation of the Federal food and drugs
act.
In practically every shipment of eggs
there are certain to be at least a few that
cannot pass the Gambling test and are,
therefore, discarded by dealers. In a
large city like New York the eggs rejected
in this way will amount in the course Of
a day to a considerable number. The
law forbids their use for human food, but
permits them to be denatured and sold
for technical purposes, the chief outlet
being tanneries.
The Western Egg Yolk Company, it
was proved, purchased these denatured
eggs. but instead Of selling them to tan
neries. or finding other legitimate mar
kets for them, removed the denaturing
substance and sold them to certain New
Jersey bakers for use in cheap cake and
other similar articles.
In July, 1913, a lot of eggs trans
ported from New York in a wagon be-
longing to the company was seized in
Jersey City. The containers in which
these eggs were shipped were branded
spots" riots" and mot intended for
food purposes"
Investigation showed, however, that
this labelling was merely a subterfuge to
avoid interference by the Federal authori.
ties. and that there was a definite plan
to sell the eggs to bakeries and hat the
Western Egg Yolk Company had been Or
ganized for this purpose by a number
of men who had been prominently identl'
fled with the egg business in New YORK
City for some time.
The Department of Agriculture, there
fore, did not content itself with the seiZ-
ure of these eggs, but continued its in
yestigations until sufficient evidence was
collected to warrant the Federal District
ATTORNEY of New Jersey in securing In
dictments for conspiracy.

Law for the Protection of
Birds Is Still Effective

MANY of the press comments on the de-
kvx cision of the United States District
Court, rendered March 20, at Topeka,
Kan, holding that the Federal migratory
bird law Is unconstitutional, according to
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture, are %rroneou and are apt to mislead
the public concerning the real situation in
this matter.
The Kansas decision, like a former de-
cision to the same effect in the Eastern
District of Arkansas, is limited in its OPP
GRAFTON solely to the district In which it
was rendered. Neither decision settles or
nullifies the law, and the exact contrary
has been held by the United States Dis
trict Court for South Dakota. The Ar
kansas case has been appealed to, and is
now pending in the United States Supreme
Court.
The act of Congress protecting migra-
tory birds stands effective until the STU
pgeme Court finally decides the question
of its constitutionality. In the meantime,
it is incumbent on every law-abiding citi-
zen to observe it's provisions and the regu-
l~ations. 1t is the duty of the Department
of Agriculture to enforce this law and the
officials in charge will endeavor to do so
as long as 1t is in force.
Reports of violations will be carefully
investigated and when sufficient evidence
is secured they will be reported for prose-
cution. In this connection it should not
be forgotten that an offender against this,
as in the case of other United States laws,
is subject to prosecution any time within
three years from the date the offense is
committed.

Mad Mule Bites.

The Oregon State Board of Health has
treated many persons for bites by mad
dogs. Recently they received the first
patient that had been bitten by a mad
mule. G.. L. Brown, a young farmer of
Ford Rock, Lake County, applied to DR..
Calvin s. White for the Pasteur treat
ment. Brown said that his mule had
been bitten by a mad coyote 40 days be-
fore. The animal had been sick and he
was trying to doctor it. While attempting
to give the mule medicine, it turned and
bit Brown on the arm. The mule died
of rabies and Brown left at once for Port
land.

Q. MAX GARDNER,s CAMPAIGN.

W aE EEE
Raleigh. July 155.-While the audit
committee of the board of trustees of
the "A. and M. college works on the
books by day, Senator Max Gardeners
friends hold conference with him by
night and plan the campaign which is
to determine his election to the lieuten-
ant governorship.
Mr.. Gardner Senator Walter e. Dan
lei. of Weldon, and Paschal s. Boyd of
Mooresville, Ire here going over the
institutions books. They will spend
the week here. 1t is an incident pure
ly that the two associates on the corn
mittee r Gardner men. The Gard
ner council is composed ~f uptown
friends who are going to present the
Shelby mans claims through college
boys and young Democracy, Gardner
having won high right to appeal to the
young fellows who have come into
politics since the '98 and 1900 days.
He was the promoter of the young
mems first voters clubs and spoke
throughout the state in the 1908, 1910,
IL and. IA campaign. He was an A.
and M. and later a university student.
The last football joy that Carolina ex-
perienced came while Gardner was a
member of the squad and young North
Carolina is not expected to forget it.
Then he taught agricultural chemistry
h A. and M, later taking law at
the university.
NH. Gardner Some Farmer.
He is also some farmer. He has
raised more than 800 bushels of wheat
this year and despite his tutoring in
agricultural chemistry never degener-
ated into an agrlculturist. He is a
farmer and therefore successful. He
is not only a horney handed son of toll
but approximately a ton of soil, weigh
ing something less than a bale of cot
ten. On his big farm he has raised
everything that Cleveland grows. One
Of these days he will amaze his oppo-
nents by s%pringing the names of some
of the biggest farmers in the state as
his active promoters and among them
some union workers known every
where.
Senator Gardner was president Of
the senate at the 1915 sitting and that
body gave him a mighty heft when it
