RAIDS ON FAKE
 DEALERS IN OIL
Department of Agriculture Says Much Olive Oil is
 Mislabeled.

Washington, D. C., March 15-sev- eraI seizures have been made and number of prosecutions instituted Us a result of a campaign inaugurated by the officials charged with the en- 1onoement cf the Federal Food and Drugs Act against the interstate ship ment of adulterated and misbranded olive oil.
 Consumers are advised to read carefully the labels of all co--tainers offered to them as containing olive oil 10 determine whether the manufa C. tuTer actually claims that the pro duct is olive oil or merely suggests it by misleading devices. Some of these deceptively Ia beIed prod Icts are sold by itinerant peddIers.
 Cottonseed oil. corn oil, peanut oil, soy-bean oil, and other vegetable oils are wholesome, palatabIe oils, but they should be bought under their own names at prices much lower than the prices at which olive oil is usually sold.
 Owing to the scarcity and high price of olive oil a number of dealers were putting on the market cotton seed, corn, and other vegetable oils labeled as olive oil. As the result of a large number of seizures of these products and prosecutions pending against the responsible parties. the practice has been generally discon- tinued. Some dealers, however, are eudeavoring to continue to reap the large profits involved and hope to es- cape the penalties of the Food and Drugs Act by so wording the labels of their product as to convey the inn pressiou to the consumer that the product is olive oil without stating directly on the label that it is olive oil.
 These products are commonly Ia bel ed as Salad OII' or Table Oil" or some other indefinite kinds of oil. On the labels are displayed conspicuous pictures of olive trees, or maps, of Italy or other devices intended to sug- gest olive oil. In some instances the words "Cottouseed OiI'' or Corn OiV' gre pr 1-ed in very small type in an incous3icuous place on the la bel. A cursory reading of the label, such as Is usually given by retail purchasers, would lead the average person to believe that the product was olive oil. Only the most careful scrutiny and exact reading will reveal that the product is not labeled olive oil, and in fact is not olive oil.
 The practice of deceptive labelling, even though no directly false state ments are made is, in the opinion of the officials, violation of the Food and Drugs Act. Seizures are being made and prosecutions institut- ed to check alzo this form of decep- ton and misbranding.

ganixation citizens OF the United
States who are unalterAbly opposed
to the forcefuf overthrow OF consti-
tuted government within the United
States. There II nothing to conceal
within the organization. nor in the
conduct Of its affairs. Neither is 1t
the desire or intention or this asso-
citation or members thereof to saddle
upon anyone any idea or mode OF ac-
ton SO long as the person in question
is q citizen of the United States and
sincerely opposed to the forceful over
throw Of government within the United
States.
OBJECTS OUTLINED
Force may be justified when rightly
applied. 1t Is certainly not justified
when wrongly applied. The only place
for difference of opinion is what con-
stttutes justification. Surely there are
comparatively. few in this country who
would c0ncede the application of force
to bring about needed reforms in
America would be justifiable. Rather
It would be unjustified because the
people have constitutional means Of
peacefully electing just the kind OF
government the majority Of the people
desire.
There are many instances in his
tory where the use OF force was justi-
fled, such az the freedom Of our coun-
try from the absolutely tyrannical
domination of King George and the
smashing of the military machine set
up by Kaiser Wilhelm for the avowed
purpose Of conquering the world and
placing its people in the category Of
slaves. These wrongs were righteti by
force because no other means existed,
and those who took part in forcefully
righting such wrongs are considered
deserving patriots.
: But no such condition exists in the
United States. The potential power Of
ballots denied to no
citizen Of the United States of Amer
lea. The halls of legislation are open
to every citizen who may peacefully
enter. II any law IL not right it can
be changed by the people themselves.

Robust Contender for Light
weight Title Once Doomed"
as Victim of White Plague.

A victim Of tuberculosis at the
age of IS; the weakling in a family
of ten boys; too poor to pay for a
doctors examination and treat
ment; a kid without q chance"
Then, at the age OF %, one of
the most famous athletes of his
time; boxer with the greatest
record of knockouts of any pugi-
list America ever produced; chal-
lenger of Benny Leonard for the
lightweight championship of the
world.
That is the amazing story OF
Charlie White of Chicago, before
whose famous cleft hook" many
rugged opponent has gone down
to defeat. The thousands of ring
followers who have seen the
Chicago slugger in action will find
it hard to believe that only few
years ago this same boy was a
consumptivc living in abject misery
in Ghetto tcncment--the last
human in the world whom a Judge
Of athletic material would have
selected for the spotlight.
Today Charlie White walked in
to the Offices Of the Chicago Tuber-
culosis Institute and volunteered
his services for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals, December
] to 10. But the greatest possible
contribution he could make to the
seal campaign, in the opinion OF
the officials, was the telling Of his
own story For his experience
proves that any boy, no matter
how fral his physique nor how
poor he may be in purse, can hang
the knockout on the dread White
Plague, provided he has what
Charlie calls the proper brand Of
courage.
When tuberculosis attacked this
boy it seemed to have picked an
easy victim. The son OF tailor

to get well-which in tuberculosis
is half the battle.
He followed DIR. Sachs orders
faithfully. In six months there was
so much Improvement that the
physician advised a little gymna-
SUM work; nothing strenuous, but
simple exercises.
The boy from the tenements
found the gymnasium fascinating

to him they represented the last
word in physical prowess. Later,
when his cure had been assured,

But the day came when his speed
and hitting power, and particularly
his determination, attracted the
attention of Nate Lewis, famous
manager of boxers, and Lewis "took
him on" for course of instruc-
