With the 'a sale e of any = FOODS, d dnssS.e or
medicines in package form which
have been transported in interstate
commerce and thereby have become
subject to the provisions of the
ffederal) food and drugs act of June
so, 1906, and which are not adulter-
ated or m~isbranded wltain\ the NEAR
ing Of the federal statute.'3
Advocates Of this bill claim that it
would DO more towards bringing
any other measure that has e been
proposed.
A uniformity Of food regulations SO
that the manufacturer of products
which are to be shipped interstate
would be. able to standardize his pro-
duct and it's labels and be freed from
the expense and troublesome necessity
of preparing different labels and diff
ferent kinds of packages for different
states, has been advocated for some
time by manufacturers and organtza-
tons which have studied the food
situation. At the annual meeting Of
Gus states recently held in New
York, the necessity of s~tandardizing
food laws was made the subject Of
special discussion and a resolution adj
vocating standardization vas passed.
A survey of the food laws Of the
various states shows hat while all
food shipped interstate must conform
to the federal food laws that they are
also subject to other laws passed by
the different states, many of which
are contradictory in effect.
After a manufacturer has carefully
prepared his product to conform to
every regulation Of the federal laws
and carefully drawn his label to con-
form to them. he often finds that his
product cannot be sold in some states
packages or labels. In some cases he
has to make different labels for n
state than he does for another. This
a large extra expense in mar
keting his product which is directly
reflected in the price for which the
product Is sold.
1t is also pointed out that the great
majority Of the law suits which have
been fought through the state courts
ana eventually settled by the United
States supreme court are directly
traceable to the difficulties which
manufacturers have experienced in
trying to make their products and
their labels and packages conform to
II lSuSIdl laws anu ChS "4NClS N0lS-
ing state laws. This has added much
to the cost Of the articles.
The necessity for increased produce
ton of food is held by economists to
be the most important factor in the
solution of prevailing high costs, and
manufacturers. insist that the varia-
ton in state laws is an obstacle to
increased production and the lower
ing of prices. They say that mas
much Is practically every article Of
food is subject to interstate COM
merce and therefore subject to fed
eral regulations, that they should be
made subject only to the federal stat
utes and freed from the aggravating
and costly burden of conforming to
the different and often contradictory
state laws.

England Still Is
Mourning Over The
Death OF Beresford

London. Sept. 17-(By the Associ-
ated Press.)-At about the age of 60,
Admiral Lord Beresford, whose sud
den death England is still mourning,
gave up the. use of intoxicating
drinks. "Since I have given up wine,
spirits and beer" he said some; time
afterward, II find 1 can do as much
work or MORE, physically and ment-
ally, than I could when I was 80. I
laugh-at the downs of life equally
with the ups and always feel Mt"
Our Charlie" as Britishers affec-
tionately referred to their sea hero,
wasn't a prohfbitionist, however. He
struck he keynote of his attitude to-
ward prohibition when, at the age of
%, he made his maiden speech in the
house of commons, quoting the re-
,frain:
"Confound their eyes =
If ever they tries
To rob a. poor man of his beer"
Asked when a boy what he would
like to be, he said he wanted to be an
admiral like Nelson" So at 10 he
entered the navy as a cadet.
He was an all-round sportsman and
an excellent boxer. Once when a
young man he had an argument with
a cabman. ':I'll fight you for the
fare" hix lordship proposed. Done"
said the cabby, climbing down with
alacrity from his perch. Lord Beres-
ford was severely handled. 1t de-
vefoped that the cabby was a former
~middleweight champion.
Two years ago at a luncheon Lord
Beresford exclaimed, Here's a pretty
state of affairs" He pointed to an in
scription on the under side Of his
plate which read, Factory, Weiden,
Germany"
we have actually" he cried, "been
dining off German plates"
There was a crash Of chinaware as
the diners, led by Beresford, smashed
their plates Oh the floor and ground
the fragments under heel.

Mack HopeweIrs Sudden Death.

The colored people OF the community
were greatly shocked last Sunday
morning by the news that Mack Hope
we'll, the colored shoemaker, had died.
Although he had been complaining for
some weeks about pains around his
heart, no one realized that he was
seriously i'll nor did he have any idea
OF impending death. He had suffer
ed more or less during Saturday, but
kept at work and attended 10 business
as usual. He went home about mid
night and threw himself across a bed.
About 2 o'clock his mother-in-law
heard him breathing heavily and vent
TO his room. He was lying face down
ward on the bed, and as she turned
him over he gasped and died, without
having uttered word. Mack, who
was about ~ years old, was one Of
ShephertstoV'n's beSt-known colored
men. He was talented in many ways,
and there was hardly any sort OF work
that he could not DO we'll. For some
years past ne had been engaged in
shoe repairing, and worked at this
trade most industriously. He was al
ways polite and respectful, and was
popular with the white people OF the
community, who admired him for mis-
cheerfulness and Wit. He will be
greatly missed in this community. His
wife survives him. The funeral vas
held Yesterday in the colored Methodist
Church, and il was largely attended,

NOTES OF OUR SOLDIERS.

Among the returned soldiers in town
this week is Stultz Boone, formerly Of
this place, who is here for a visit to his
sister, Mrs. Harrison Schley. Mr..
Boone has just returned from France,
where he served in the SD Infantry,
Sixth Division, of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces, for twelve months, less
two weeks. He was in the trenches in
the Vosges Mountains for most of the
time, where his regiment was holding
the line against the Germans. He was
in the Meuse Argonne drive in the
closing weeks OF the war and when the
armistice was signed was headed to-
ward Metz. He was with the army
Of occupation for a couple of weeks, in
Coblenz, and had an excursion on the
river Rhine Mr. Boone is looking we'll
and says that he never felt better. He
is glad 10 have had the experiences OF
the past year or two, but is not anxious
for further duty in France. He ex-
poets to go to work again without de-
lay.
Henry Sigler, son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Sigler, has gotten his honorable
discharge from the army and arrived
at his home in Shepherdstown yes
terday. Although he was in the SER
vice for thirteen months, he didn't
have chance 10 get over on the other
side. Most OF the time he was at
Camp Sherman, Ohio, though he was
at Fort Riley, Kansas, for a while
Norman Louden, OF this vicinity, who
was in the same regiment, has also
gotten home.
Harry L. Wintermoyer has received
letters recently from his nephew,
Elmer Tenant, OF this place, who is
with the army Of occupation in
Coblenz, Germany. He says that he is
blleted with a German family and is
treated very we'll. Nevertheless he
doesn't trust the Germans very far,
and he says that it is we'll to keep one
eye upon them all the time. Elmer
writes that he goes up in balloon al
most every day to make observations.
He doesn't know when he will be sent
home
Harry Underwood, the county boy
who drew the first number in the draft
lottery, the famous 258, is by some
strange trick OF fate still held with the
army Of occupation in Germany. The
outlook now is that while he was the
first to be indicted into the army he
will be the last TO get out. Harry is
serving in an infantry regiment.
Sergeant Earl Mcdonald, OF Duff
fields, this county, who is still with
the American Army in France, has
been promoted to be lieutenant. He
expects to sail for the United States in
a short time.

"Salome" Creates Interest.

In order 10 accommodate the large
crowds coming TO the ShepherdstoVn
Opera House to see "Sslome," the en-
gagement has been extended 10 take
in Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with
two shows each night at 7.45 and e.l5.
Elsewhere this picture has created a
sensation and has done turn-aVay
business, and according 10 the advance
inquiries it will do the same in Shep-
hertstoVn. "Salome" is unquestion-
ably the greatest dramatic Offering
ever conveyed to the screen, and the
magnifcence Of King Herot's day is
faithfully reproduced.

Frederick will be the attraction in one

Frederick is highly emotional and is

tinuing for three days, including July

gram for this week includes fewer but

The Wheat Harvest.

Wheat harvest in this section has
been seriously interfered with by rain
that began early yesterday morning,
Monday and Tuesday were ideal days
for harvesting, the weather being cool
and pleasant, but the rain was a
serious setback. The wheat is dead
ripe. 1t is the general opinion that
the crop will be considerably reduced
By the rust and scab which made its
appearance a few weeks ago, and the
promise OF an enormous yield will not
be fulfilled. II is seldom, however,
that there is heavier growth Of straw
than there is this year.

a score OF 3 to I. The batteries were
