FRENCH BROADEN WEDGE.
Review of the Operations Conducted
 Last Week in Flanders.

Washington, Oct. .7.-French sue cesses in Flanders, broadening the great wedge which the allies are re- lentlessly driving into the German lines are described as the outstand- ing feature of the military operations for the week ending October 13, is- sued by the war department.
 ''The allied offensive in Flanders continues methodically says the re- view. Assigned objectives attain ed with increasing regularity indi- cate efficient coordination of artil- lery preparation and infantry attacks
 "The precision of the allied barrage is proved by the low casualties of the assaulting columns.
 'The deadly effect of allied artil- lery fire is confirmed by reports reaching us regarding the concern of the German high command at the new allied 'typhoon' fire which is com polling the enemy to amend his tac- tai dispositions in an effort to meet the shock of the shell fire rained up On his lines.
 "The successes attained by the French forces north of the British sector, more particularly in the neigh borhood of the Houtholst wood, have given the allied advance in Flanders the needed elbow room
 Breadth of front is an essential condition for operations which are Qo shave farlreaching resultsl ;lfor confined to narrow base, really important encircling movement can have no sustained value If along it's entire length it can be flanked by ar tillery fire.
 "The zone of operations in the Ypres salient, formerly too narrow for the proper disposition of large masses of troops, has now. by the French cooperation and their recent advance, so extended the line that ent has changed in character. It is no longer to be considered salient, but an ever extending wedge pro excessively driven into the German lines.
 "The operations of the French dur ing the past week are in fact comple- mentary to the engagements which resulted in the capture of Messines by the British last June.
 During the engagements of the week the French everywhere main tained the positions won in the face of repeated onslaughts.
 "As was to be expected at this sea- son, bad weather has somewhat re- tarded the allied advance

LABEL LEGEND LAPSES.
New Way for Manufacturers to Guar
antee Foods and Drugs.

The following legend, SO familiar in
the past on food and drug packages,
. Guaranteed by Manufacturer. under
the Food and Drugs Act, June 80. 1906,
Serial Number 265424,' is disappear
ing from labels. A method for guaran-
teeing foods and drugs which will be
less misleading to the public has been
provided by the officials in charge of
the enforcement of the Food and Drugs
Act. Under the new plan manufac
turers may guarantee their products on
the invoice or bill of sale, or b. GER
tain other methods, but according to
a food inspection decision which be-
came effective on November /, 1916,
they may not make any statement re-
garding guaranty or serial number
on the labels of packages of food or
drugs which enter interstate or foreign
commerce. However, labels contain
ing the guaranty legend and serial num-
Der which were printed prior to May
5, 1914. the date on which the first no.
tice to discontinue was issued, may be
used until May /, 1918, in order TO pre-
vent the loss that otherwise would oc-
cur from the destruction of such la
bells.
The manufacturer, wholesaler. or 9th
er person residing in the United States
and shipping foods or drugs into inter
state commerce, according to the
amended regulation, may print or
stamp his guaranty on the invoice, bill
of sale, or on any commercial paper
that contains a list of items of foods
or drugs which he intends to guarantee.
The department of agriculture does not
prescribe the exact form that the guar
anty shall take, but is of the opinion
that the following wording will be sat
isfactorv:
81 (We), the undersigned, do here
by guarantee that the articles of food
(and drugs listed herein are not adul-
terated or mishranded within the mean
ing of the Federal Food and Drugs
Act. June 80, 1906, as amended.
This statement should be followed
by the signature, which may be printed
or STAMPED if the invoice or other doc
ument is transmitted by the guarantor
direct to the dealer, and the address
of the guarantor.
ORIGINALLY it was provided in the
rules and regulations that the manufac-
turer or wholesaler who desired to guar
antee that his products COMPLIED with
| the Food and Drugs Act might file a
general guaranty with the department
of agriculture to the effect that the
foods or drugs he shipped into inter,
state commerce were not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of
that act Upon the receipt of prop
erly executed guaranty the department
assigned serial number to the manu-
facturer or wholesaler who filed the
guaranty. The manufacturer or whole
saler was authorized to use this mum
Der on his labels to indicate that the
guaranty which he had filed with the
department covered the products on
which the number was used After

The Lonely President.

The radical changes brought about
in the life and habits os a man by his
elevation into the presidential chair IS
portrayed by David Lawrence, in the
March Century.
Few people ever stop to think, he
writes, "what . captive of convention
and dignity president really is. The
city of Washington is not his aecus
toned residence; it is, in fact, the
home town of few; being simply a
house of transients, and in the later
years of life intimate friends are not
easily made. The new President finds
himself alone in a strange environ
ment. a cold atmosphere depressing to
the newcomer Even after he has
made friends he cannot call upon
them casually or at random. Form,
that ancient regulator of Washington
life. is the immediate barrier. Discre-
tion is another. The President may
drop in OF his friends now and then,
but not too frequently. Such visits
are apt TO be misunderstood, and it is
difficult TO discriminate. SO the new
President must at once detach him
self from private life.
Mr.. Taft went about Washington
freely, for he had lived there several
years before being elected to the pres
idency; but the general criticism of
him was that he spent too much time
socially and his defense, it will be re.
membered, was that the White House
was lonesome place. Mr.. Roosevelt
provided his own eereation-boxers
wrestlers and rough -riders-but these
were exceptional diversions, reveal
ing, indeed. the artifcialitv of Pres
dent S position.
\ "Though before his election to the
presidency a President may have been
sociable fellow, may have liked upon
occasion TO drop in at club, he can
not now be a clubman in that sense
Even if he so desired, he would not
find time for il and do his work con
scientiously. Mr.. Wilson PLAYS golf
for instance, but rarely if ever STAYS
longer at the clubhouse than is neces
sary to pass through il to a waiting
automobile. He used to be fond Of
the University club of New York, anC
frequently as President-elect, wen
there TO write personal letters or (,
read magazines. Doubtless he would
like now 10 lose himself in the retrea
OF library. but he capnot; he i
never completely alone. He is lik
one under arrest, always guarded. al
ways protected, always awkwardly
aware of his own troublesome pres
enee.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-03-05

this method had been in operation for
some time it was found that the guar
antv legend on the label was mislead-
ing to the public 1t was incorrectly
assumed by consumers generally and
some retail dealers that the guaranty
legend on the label meant that a sam
pie of the product had been examined
by the United States department of
agriculture and that in effect the Unit
ed States department of agriculture ae-
tuallv guaranteed the product.
The Food and Drugs Act provides
that no dealer shall be prosecuted I'M
der the provisions Of that act when he
can establish a guaranty signed by the
wholesaler, jobber, manufacturer, or
other party residing in the United
States, from which he purchases ar
ticleS of food and drugs. The guaran-
ty should be to the effect that the foods
and drugs to which it applies are not
adulterated or misbranded within the
meaning of the act. The object of this
provision is 20 make the manufacturer
or wholesaler or person who knows the
composition of the food and drug pro
ducts responsible for their compliance
with the provisions of the law. In
many cases dealer does not know the
composition of the products he sells,
and can not afford the expense of hav-
ing an analysis made in order to de-
termine it for himself. A provision,
therefore. was inserted in the law to
the effect that, if the dealer secured
a guaranty from the manufacturer or
wholesaler or other person from whom
he purchases, the party making the
guaranty would be responsible under
the law, and the dealer would be re-
lieved of responsibility. The dealer
should see that all his foods and drugs
which have entered state commerce, or
which he expects to ship in interstate
or foreign commerce. or to sell in the
District of Columbia or the territories,
are guaranteed to him in the manner
outlined. The guaranty was never in
tended to be, and never has been, in
any sense a guaranty by the depart
ment of agriculture.

Local High School Basketball Team
Wins 81 to 10, Using But One Reg

The Brattleboro high basketball
team in the presence of very large
attendance in the Armory Saturday
afternoon had no difficulty in defeat
ng the Leland & Gray seminary team
oy a score of 81 to 10 Had either
team had player able to shoot goals
from fouls the score would have been
much larger.
Coach Diedrich Stolte PLAYED his
first team in the first period and they
AN up a score OF 81. In the last period
Capt. Stearns alone of the first team
played and the substitutes ran up 30
points. Stearns scored Is floor goals
and was fully as effective at center
in the second period as he was at for
ward in the first. Sparks, at center
for the visitors, was the only one of
hat team who had an eye for the bas-
ket. The home team at times played a
signal game that bewildered their OPP
ponents, but poor handling of the bali
often prevented what otherwise would
have been sure scores. The game was
clearly played. The summary:
