WAR HAD WROUGHT CHANGE
Doughboy Found 1t Hard to Realize
the Difference Two Years
of War Had Made.

A new story of the Red Cross bag
comes from Harvey ID. Gibson, former
Red Cross commissioner for Europe
and president of the Liberty National
bank of New York. He got the story
from one of the workers in a hospital
hut i'll Dion. Everybody who has ever
seen a wounded soldier knows the bag
of gaudy cretonne with the little Red
Cross in the corner, in which each boy
keeps the bit of shrapnel the doctor
dug out of his knee, the last letter
from home. the picture of his girl. his
toothbrush and all his most cherished
possessions. One of the boys in the
Dijon hospital had just been presented
with his bag, a pink-and-white one. He
accepted it gracefully then he began
to laugh. "Say," he declared, eff some
one had told me two years ago that
I'd be agoin' to war with wrist watch
on one wrist and a bracelet''-he held
out his Identification disk-'on the
other and cretonne bag in my hand :
Say, I'd have pasted him one!'

coffee in that particular package was
produced in South America.
| The picture of maple leaf on
can of strip carries the fancy to the
delicious flavor and sweetness of the
! product from Vermont, inducing pur-
! chasers to pay more than they would
pay if they noted the statement in

| When Quantity Is camoufIaged.
| The use of panel bottles which ap-
pear to have capacity of four ounces
| of flavoring extract, but which on &C.
count of the thickness and contour of
| the sides cannot be made to hold more
I than two ounces, is an old practice to
deceive the housewife in regard to the
quantity. Even when the quality Of
contents is marked on the bottle, the
purchaser is likely to judge the guam
which is so apparent, than by an in
conspicuous statement, which can be
seen only by close observation.
A more recent device for making
little bit Of pepper or spice look like
whole lot is siX-Ounce tin package
with a shaker top which, because it
cannot be removed without destroying
the package, prevents the purchaser
from observing that there are only two
ounces or less in the package.
Deceptive devices appearing on the
labels of foods or drugs subject to
the jurisdiction of the federal food
and drugs act are in violation of that
law. The question as to whether any
given device is deceptive, and wheth-
er the deception is removed by cor
receive statements appearing else
where on the label, is one to be deter
mined by the facts in each case. Many
seizures have been effected and many
prosecutions maintained because Of
the use of deceptive devices held to be
misleading. Some forms of devices,
although deceptive, which do not APP
pear upon the labels, have been held
not to be covered by the provisions of
the federal food and drugs act.
Action will be taken in all cases
believed to be in violation of the law,
say the officials. In the meantime con-
sumers can avoid being misled by de-
ceptive devices by carefully reading
the labels of all food and drug pack
ages.

Misleading pictures and other de-
vices appearing on the labels of foods
Is form of misbranding against which
housewives will do well to be on their
guard, say the officials of the bureau
Of chemistry, United States depart
ment of agriculture, in charge of the
enforcement of the federal food and
drugs act. Many prosecutions and
seizures are made in the enforcement
OF the law to prevent this subtle form
of misbranding.
Inconspicuous statements In fine
print are placed on the illustrated la
bel in many Instances to correct Os-
tensibly the misleading features of the
picture or other device. However, as
the picture or device attracts the at
tention at once, while the inconspicu-
0us corrective statement can be seen
only by a most careful scrutiny Of the
label, the purchaser is certain to be
misled unless attention is directed to
the exact wording Of the entire Ia
bel.
The picture of an olive tree and

the label will enable her sometimes

Oranges Pretty, but Deceptive.
The picture of a luscious orange on
the label of bottle of imitation or
angeade not only adds to the attrac-
iveness of the label, but helps to hyp-
totize the purchaser into the belief
that he is getting the real article, not
withstanding the fact that there is
tucked away somewhere in a mass of
inc print a little statement to the eff
