UNCLE SAM KEEP
ING CANDY PURE

Candy in interstate commerce, the
United States Department of Agricul-
turc tells the manufacturers, must be
pure and must carry label that tells
the truth. The box or container. that
goc sto the consumer should bear a
conspicuous label showing the net
weight. When the canuy Is put up
under the name of the wholesaler or
jobber, the name appearing on the
label should be preceded by "manu-
factured for" or some such words, so
tha tthe purchaser may know that the
name is not that Of the manufacturer.
Mixed candies labeled "fruit havors"
are misbranded if any artificial fruit
flavors are used. The word "maple"
or even the picture Of a maple leaf
must not appear on the label of con-
fection sin which no maple sugar or
sirup is used. A false or misleading
statement appearing on the label is
not cured by a correct statement some
where else on the label
On the question Of purity, harmless
colors that do not conceal inferiority
are permitted. The use of shellac and
other gums for coating is prohibited.
The department holds that saccharin
is Injurious to health and it's use in
candy is prohibited. Tale, terra alba,
barytes, chrome yellow alcohol, mar
Il.
Of all kinds are specifically forbidden

manufacture of chocolate goods is held
to be Objectionable. A harmless min

sions or opinions relating to the ap-
plication of the Federal food and drugs

No Day Without a Line
"Nulla dies sine Linen"

Long before this building was built, kind
friend placed upon an Office desk in the Depot a
little motto made with her own hand in pen and ink
which spoke daily its message to a young beginner
on the scaffold with square and trowel laying new
wall of business foundations.
It comes back and comes back with each day
saying:
"Master-No day without a line!"
Cato, Roman General, obliged the servant who
brought and served the soldiers breakfast to say to
him each morning:
Carthage Must Be Destroyed"
("CUthdgb delenda estp')
Are there not Carriages still to be destroyed,
that endanger our beloved America, of which we
need to be reminded daily?

day to do something better!

PAY EQUALIZATION,
CLASS|F|ERS' AIM
Commission Has Advocated
No Set Increase for Work.
ers as Whole.

Salary schedules for the 1o7. 900 federal
employees here under reclassihcat1on are
being decided solely upon the merits OF
equalization demanded in each case. with
no set increase for the government
workers as a whole.
This was definitely stated at the head
quarters of the joint congressional COM
mission on reclasSification of salaries IN
the District today, definitely setting at
rest a belief in some quarters that all
federal workers will get an so per cent
increase in salary.
Individual Results.
Owing to the fact that the great
prevail. some workers probably will get
greatly increased salaries, some but very
little increase, and some few may even
get smaller salaries, it Is believed. The
number of the last mentioned, however.
probably will be very small. If there are
any such.
1t costs the government about $780,
900. 900 in salaries to pay the 10000
in the District under the present sal
ary schedules. This figure is an ap-
proximation made at the office of the
reclassifcation commission, from sta
tistics in possession Of the commits
sion.
Uncle Sans salary budget, under
reclassification, will be in excess OF
$140. 100000. it is definitely understood
but just how much cannot be stated
since the commission has not worked
with any definite salary increase in
view for all employees.
AS a matter of fact, the total salary
sum is even now in excess of $14G,-
600. 900. since this figure does not in
clude the bonus paid most employees
here.
Feature Of Work.
The big point of the equalization
Of salaries Is to give all workers do
ing the same work the same salaries,
instead Of allowing some workers on
a given line Of endeavor to receive
as much as $1,000 more than other
workers doing the same work.
Low-paid workers, such as many Of
the clerks in the patent. Office, will be
brought up to the other clerical level.
and their per cent Of increase may
approximate the theoretical so per
cent desired to meet the 80 per cent
increase in the cost of living since
1914.

FINDS CHANCE IN CHINA
FOR U. S. BUSINESS MEN
Julean Arnold, Commercial Attache
in Peking, Tells School Students
Of Trade Opportunities.

There are great opportunities in
China for American business men.
Julean Arnold, commercial attache OF
the Department of Commerce. who
has recently returned from Peking.
China, told the students Of Business
High School in an address at the
school today.
Mr.. Arnold, who has been in China
for seventeen years, emphasized the
acute need for young men in China to
represent American business houses.
He said the change in the habit of
living which is taking place in China
is creating an enormous market. for
imported goods. Between 1904 and
1915 Chinese imports Of American
goods Increased 244 per cent. he said.
IF the American people would only
awake to the limitless possibilities of
trade with China they would lend
every effort to capture it and keep
that market for American goods" Mr..
Arnold said. American firms are un-
able to obtain young men with edu-
cation and training to represent them
in the far east, according to Mr.. Ar
mold. even though large salaries are
offered. He said the Chinese have
the greatest confidence in Americans
and like to deal with them, and that
China, with its 100000. 600 inhabitants.
is the best field for American firms
seeking foreign trade.
