MUST NOW TELL THE TRUTH
ON PATENT MEDICINE LABELS

The department OF agriculture au-
thorizing the following:
Ten years ago there was no all
ment to which human flesh is heir
that some maker of patent medicines
did not claim to be able to cure with
such ease that it seemed almost the
height of foolishness not to part with
the price for his nostrums.
Today, because of the operation of
the federal food and drugs act, the ex-
travagant promises of cure that char
acterized the labelling of the patent
medicines of 10 years ago have prac-
tically disappeared from the prepar-
ations that enter interstate MINER
Misbrandings, in regard to healing
value of hundreds of alleged cancer
cures, so-called "cures" for coughs,
colds, consumption, kidney diseases,
epilepsy, St. Vitus dance, and the like,
have been corrected. This is told in
the annual report of the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture, which reviews the OPP
Grafton of the food and drugs act in
the safeguarding of the health of the
American people.
The law requires the labels of pa
tent medicines to declare the presence
of any habit-forming drug, such as
opium, cocaine, or alcohol, thus pre-
venting the innocent development of
the drug habit. This provision of the
law is particularly valuable in warning
mothers against the use of so-called
infant soothing syrup containing OPT
UNI.
In 1907 the bureau of chemistry
found that 30 soft drings contained
small amounts of cocaine. Practically
all of these were suppressed. The
food and drugs act is regarded as
having been an important factor in
bringing about passage of the Harri-
son antinarcotic law, which more ef-'
fectively controls habit-forming mar
cotics.
Much has been done the report

ENEMY.OWNED PATENTS ARE

The federal trade commission has
granted to three American firms H.

drugs which heretofore have been con-
trolled by enemy aliens under Amer

The Abbott Laboratories of Chica-

"Veronal" under a nonexclusive H.

drug was granted to Emil Fisher for
E. Merck, of Darmstadt, Germany, to

Set a Good Example by Standing

II you were the only person in town that traded with mail
order concerns-itw would hurt some-but it wouldn't paralvze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence YOUR out-of-
town trading exerted over others. Other people might follow in
your 1oot-steps OF foreign trading and that following would prove
oetrnnental to nome business development and betterment Of the
public welfare. 'N
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. Take pride in YOUR
community. Feel that money spent here at home is plaving an i'm
portant part IN building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
your want and goes towards some public good. That it helps in
crease the efficiency of schoos-puts down better crossings

They will accommodate you. They take particular pains to
give you just what you want right when you want it. You don't
have to buy in big quantities to save freight or express charges.
TO say nothing of the great saving of time and trouble.
Advocate those advantages. Do mail order traders q good

other departments.
Law Giving Satisfaction.
In the more than 10000 cases that
have Deer passed on by the board
there has been no appeal taken from
rulings made, which indicates that
the law is giving general satisfaction.
The board averages about 400 pieces
of mail matter per day and in the
mass of correspondence received the
laws operation is general endorsed.
1t is evident that the new system has
proven far more satisfactory than the
old liability method, with it's unsat-

fully request that you compare same

the compensation act in any one of
the other IS states operating under a
compensation law, as we are satisfied
that you will find that in no instance
does a similar period, covering SINH

what this board has expended, and in
many instances, where population
compares favorably to that Of Mon
tana, the expense has been four times
as great. In our neighboring states
the cost for the same period Of time
has been: Nevada, over $4,000; Ore
gon, $125,O00; Washington, Sa50,O00;
California, $4,000
Conclusion Of Board.
The board trusts you will be salts
fled with the economic showing made,
which has been the result of your
strict admonition to practice economy,
in connection with efficiency, in every
detail of the work and if it's can con-
tinue to be favored with the splendid

accorded by all the employers and
employees of the state, supplemented
by the comprehensive cooperation and

that the best possible results may be

SHORTAGE OF SHIP CRAFTSMEN

Washington, d. c., Jan. 10.-There
are not enough ship craftsmen in the
United States to do the drafting work
needed to carry out the naval and
merchant shipbuilding programs. Our
country is engaged in the execution
of the greatest warship construction
plan in history, comprising 7S7 yes
sells, including all types from super
dreadnaughts to submarine chasers.
Naval appropriations aggregating
nearly two billions of dollars have
been made since August, 1916.
The United States civil service COM
mission is endeavoring to relieve the
dearth of ship craftsmen by recon
mending to the heads of colleges and
technical schools that senior students
in engineering courses be given in
tensive training in naval architecture
during the coming spring, with a view
to making them available for en-
ployment as ship craftsmen in June.
The commission is also receiving APP
plications from qualified architecture
al, mechanical, and structural steel
craftsmen, and is certifying them for
employment in the navy department
and in navy yards on ship work.
Local boards of civil service exam
iners at the postoffices in all of the
larger cities are furnishing detailed
information and application blanks.
Applicants are not required to ap-
pear i nan examination room for a
written examination, but are rated
upon their education, training and ex-
%perience.

Sorrow and Suffering.
Story Of Young Man Hidden Under
Smoking Ledge Points Moral for
All Of Us, Especially in These
Troubled Times.

Have you read the story? A trapper
amid the snow-hushed hills of western
Massachusetts, spied smoke issuing
from ledge of rocks in the depths of
dense forest. He did not know what
to make of 1t. ALI sorts of fearsome
notions beset him as he ventured on
attempts to solve the mystery. But
when he had summoned help and they
went in at the opening detected, bear
ing lanterns and all hands armed to
meet whatever might be encountered,
they discovered a lone man bending
over small fire in the act of roasting
bit of meat. And they learned from
him that he was living there to escape
the service men are summoned to rem
der in war time!
The mystery If the smoking ledge
would serve somebody well to point
moral or adorn tale. For most of
life's experiences that puzzle and trou-
BILE us mOrtals are much like this of
the smoking ledge. We coniure up no
end OF dire thoughts about them
about diseases, disasters and especial
the world. when the whole of civilized
life is like smoking ledge We think
Of nature as malign, of fateful evil
powers as lying in ambush against us,
even of God himself as causing things
which confound us as we go the rounds
of common life. But by and by we dis
cover, in one instance after another,
that precisely what alarm and puzzle
and trouble us are really due to some
human alteration from right doing. We
are wrong In thinking that fate or ma
ture or God are responsible for the
mysteries of suffering and sorrow. The
truth is that some human being who
has gone wrong is down under most of
the smoking lodges that mystify us.
To get this clear in ones mind is of the
greatest Importance, especially in times
like these
This young man hid under the smok-
Ing ledge told story wildly signifi-
cant. He was there to escape the duty
OF all when ali that we cherish is i'm
periled He confessed that he had
crept out at night to buy food In
town miles away-he couldn't subsist
without drawing on the common pro-
visions for welfare which are now in
jeopardy. He acknowledged having
been obliged by illness in his cave to
go and secretly spend a week in ho-
tel's comfort-he would have died like
wild animal but for such shelter in
the established order he was refusing
to help maintain. He had even tramp
ed far through the snow on a winter
night to peer through window at his
sisters family, happy around their
homes bright fireplace-his mans
heart, craven as it was, longed for
glimpse Of those sanctities which
sound-headed men are now going forth
to safeguard. Food, shelter, the realm
of love! These are the primary human
imperatives, as even the man under
the smoking ledge bears witness. And
these, with many other blessings, are
now put in peril by ruthless foes, over
seas and here at home as truly. Could
anything show the folly and wrong Of
failing to defend them more strikingly
than the story of this man under the
smoking ledge?-Boston Herald.
