parent fault of their own, receive ship
ments OF foods or drugs which are
adulterated or misbranded. but not
grossly. il is customary to release the
goods after relabeling. sorting or
cleaning. if product which complies
with the law can thus be obtained.
Many Foods Now Coming In.
Certain crude drugs and some foods,
such rs coffee, tea. spices. olive oil,
hgs etc. are either not produced at
al in the United States or are pro-
luced in too small quantities to meet
The demand. Other foods are import
ad To meet the demands of that por-
lion Of the population born in foreign
countries who desire TO obtain the
same kind of food 10 which they were
accustomed before coming TO this
country. There are some foods pro-
duced or manufactured in other coun-
tries which have established a world
wide reputation for excellence or some
popularity of flavor. Although dOmes-
tic articles of the same kind may be
available in abundance some prefer to
buy the foreign article because of an
assumed or actual superiority of ap-
pearance, flavor or quality. The
cOgnacs and champagnes of France
are articles of this class which can no
longer be imported; but certain for
eign ginger ales, mineral waters. jel-
lies. Sardines. cheeses, etc, continue to
be In demand.
Practically all the different classes
of foods imported previous to the war,
with the exception Of alcoholic bever-
ages, are now coming in, say the Off
cials, although i'm the case of some
foods in not as large quantities. War
embargOes on some foods are still In
effect in few countries. For instance
olive oil cannot rs yet be shipped
from Italy. Olive oil. however, is be-
ing imported from France and Spain.
The officials Of the treasury depart
ment cooperate with those of the bu-
reau of chemistry. United States de-
partment of agriculture. in enforcing
the provisions of the federal food and
drugs act relating to imported foods
and drugs.

SCOPE OF FOOD LAW
misunderstanding as to AppIica-
ton of Act.
Does Not Affect Foods or Drugs Con-
sumed In State Where Manu-
factured.

Washington.-The federal food and
drugs act does not apply, as many peo-
pie suppose, to foods and drugs which
are manufactured and produced In one
state and not thereafter shipped out of
that state. that Is. that are consumed
within the state where produced. Such
foods and drugs are subject to state
laws.
The provisions of the federal food
and drugs act do apply to the
foods and drugs which ~ are shipped
or delivered for shipment from any
state or territory or the District Of
Columbia into any other state or ter
ritory or the District Of Columbia; (2)
are shipped or delivered for shipment
from any state or territory or the Dis
trict of Columbia to any foreign coun-
try; (3) are being imported into the
tured, sold. or offered for sale in the
District Of Columbia or any territory
Of the United States.
The words food" and drug" as de-
fined In the federal food and drugs act
have somewhat different meaning
from the popular understanding OF
those terms. For instance, water un-
der the food and drugs act Is classed
as food. The term food" includes all
articles used for food, drink, cOnfec-
tionery. or condiment by man or 9TH
er animals, whether simple, mixed or
compound. The term drug" includes
all medicines and preparations recog-
nlzed In the United States pharma-
cOpoeia or national formulary for in
ternal or external use, and any SUBJ
stance or mixture Of substances in
tended to be used for the cure, mitiga-
tion or prevention Of disease Of either
man or the animals.

Military Ball a
Decided Success
Fischers Orchestra Big Feature.

The East Jordan members of the new
ly formed branch of American Legion
are to be congratulated on the success
of the dancing party given by them on
Saturday evening, Dec. 10th. This
event was probably the most notable
social affair that has taken place in East
Jordan for some time. The best was
none to good for the management who
secured for the occasion Fischers
famous Buffalo Exposition Orchestra of
Kalamazoo, probably the leading music
al organization of its kind in the state.
The announcement of this feature in
advance stirred up the social nature of
number OF our citizens, who had not
been at a party of the kind for many
moons and it was sight to see them
all out tripping the fantastic toe as in
the olden days. Needless to say this
spirit made them feel several years
younger, and has started movement
on foot to ask for return engagement
of Mr.. Fisher and his musicians that
will be scheduled sometime in January,
the exact date to be announced later.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Larger quantities and a greater va
I1ety of foods are being imported from
foreign countries each month although
prewar volumes have not yet been
reached. This statement is made by
officials of the bureau of chemistry,
United States department f agricul-
ture, who are charged with the en-
fOrcement of the federal food and
drugs act.
The importation of both foods and
drugs was affected greatly by the war,
but the interruption to the importa-
tion of crude drugs was less marked
than in the case of pharmaceuticals
and foods, according to the officials.
An inspection of all imported food and
drug products is maintained by the
bureau of chemistry, i'm order to insure
that such products coming from for
eign countries are not misbranded or
adulterated under the terms of the
federal food and drugs act.
Analysis often Necessary.
Laboratories for the examination of
samples from shipments of imported
food and drugs are maintained by the
bureau of chemistry at its branch sta
tons in Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Savannah New Orleans, San
Francisco, Seattle, San Juan, +. r..
and ut some other cities where the i'm
portatiOns are smaller i'm volume, In
voices Of all food and drug shipments
coming into the United States are
scrutiniZed by food and drug officials,
and all shipments which there is rea-
son to believe may he misbranded or
adulterated are examined. I'm many
instances chemical analysis of samples
Is necessary TO determine whether or
not n given shipment is in accordance
with the provisions of the law In
other instances a physical examination
by specialist is sufficient.
The federal food and drugs act pro-
vides that If any article of food or
drugs offered to be imported into the
United States Is adulterated or mis-
branded within the meaning of that
act, or is otherwise dangerous TO the
health of the people of the United

EAGLE RACES WITH AVIATOR
Big Bird Is Defeated in Encounter
With Airplane Above the
Pyrenees.

LondOn.-Eagle and airman have
met in a contest for the supremacy Of
the upper air and the eagle has been
defeated. The encounter occurred
high above the Pyrenees recently when
a British officer was plotting single
scatter scout machine from Paris to
Madrid. The airman was flying at a
rate Of 100 miles an hour when big
eagle scared up to meet him.
"It was as if the eagle had thrown
me challenge" said the airman, "but
my smile died when l thought that
perchance a dive by the bird or may
be q collision would send TIC crash
ing to the rocks beneath. The eagle
numbered around me at about ninety
miles per hour and l throttled down
to the same pace while we took stock
Of each other, for all the world like
two antagonists above the western

opened the throttle and looped right
over him. He made one great effort
TO catch up and with it his strength
failed. His wings gave feeble beat,
and with every appearance of a shot
plane he dived to earth completely
exhausted"

Survey of the
County Schools
School Commissioner Stewart
Reviews County Work

With the completion of the fall round
OF visits including even the small
islands of the Beaver group, the COM
missioner is taking birds eye view of
conditions measuring what we have
with what we might have expected.
Last spring a number of directors look
ed rather gloomily over the prospects
for the coming year They said eve
always do have to take our chances
even when we pick and choose. What
| will it be when we have to take what
we can get?" or There are always
number of misfits anyhow. What will
it be when we have SO great teacher
shortage?" Surely enough, the pros
poets were not very bright. The direc-
tors had reason to believe that all might
not be well. Bright, capable girls were
leaving the profession every day and
strangers were entering. AT best il
looked as if only two thirds of the
schools could be filled and even then
every applicant would have to be con-
sidered.
The directors set about their work
with will. They did not intend to
hire everybody who applied. It would
be far better to have some of the
schools closed than to have them run
ming in confusion. Where there was
question of character or very low schol-
arship, not director in the county con-
sidered the applicant. If it was ques-
tion of wages, almost every school said
we shall pay what is right. Good teach
ers who came to apply were seldom al
lowed to leave if money could induce
them to remain. 1t was hard-those
first days of the change of the wage
scale last summer but the school Off
GERS of the county knew that the child
ren's lives and future were at stake
and faced the situation squarely.
The result is splendid. Almost every
school has teacher. Only one sci
in the county is not provided for. (,.1 rs
school has had two applications from
qualified teachers who would not teach
for less than seventy dollars. They
did not feel that they could pay this
much No provisions have been made
for the children. Six school districts
are transporting their pupils 10 neigh
boring districts with very good service.
Several others are considering this
movement for next year and some are
talking of consolidation in order to
achieve their ends and be sure of
teacher in the bigger shortage next
year.
The finest thing about the years
school work so far, is that we have
such splendid corps of teachers. II
pays to be careful and the school Off
GERS are to be commended in not hav-
ing a single failure in the country
schools this year. Every teacher is
working might and main. Every
teacher is using all the training she
had to begin with and looking for more
in her libraries and other equipment
about her. We never had more en-
thusiastic corps of teachers, never had
so few complaints, and so many COM
pliments for the teachers in charge.
1t is pretty good feeling on New
Years Day to know that with the
teacher shortage looming greater every
day, our school boards have managed
to help us keep going and still keep us
on top. The best way to get happy
New Year is to go out after it and this
they have done in the schools Of Char
levoix County.

This Is an offer no reader Of this paper
who keeps chickens can afford to ignore.
We will tell you why.
Henry Trafford, Famous Poultry Ex-
pert and Breeder for nearly eighteen years
Editor of Poultry Success" has developed
a new and remarkable system Of rearing
breeding and feeding chickens for heavy
egg production that seems certain TO reyo-
lutiouize the poultry industry and give iiNe
eggs or more for every egg produced to-day.
This plan or system is explained in Mr.:
TratTord's Il 900 Egg Hen a free copy OF
which will he sent to any person who keeps
six hens or more.
Poultry keepers, following Mr.. Traffcrds
directions, learn how TO start young pull
lets laying early: make old hens mouit
quickly and resume heavy laying during
entire winter season. Most any hen will
lay in spring when eggs are cheap. Mr..
Trafford tells how hens lay four 70 seven
eggs q week during coolest winter days
when eggs sell at dollar dozen or more.
His system shows how any BREEDER, with
ordinary care. may get 1000 eggs or more
from nearly every hen in five years time at
q net profit Of $500.
