SEES BUSINESS RUIN
IN LAX DRUG LAWS
Importer Charges Enforcement Is
Lacking, Relating to Ether,
Ergot and Jamaica Ginger.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The extensive hearings by the Senate
Agriculture Committee on charges of
lax enforcement of the food and drugs
act by the Agriculture Department were
terminated yesterday with rebuttal tes-
timony by Howard M. Ambruster, New
York drug importer
Ambruster charged officials of the
food and drugs division of the depart
ment were engaged in conspiracy" to
ruin his business and said he would con-
tinue his effort to bring about better
enforcement if it took 10 years and
stripped him of his last cent.
Repeating his statement that the law
was not being enforced with respect to
ether, ergot and jamaica ginger, Am
bruster said records of the department
would show whether the pure food and
drugs act was being administered in
the interest of the people, or unscru-
pulous manufacturers.

 Market on gobblers this season is slightly unsettled, with present prices somewhat lower than they were last year. Whether these prices will go higher or lower or remain the same is difficult to forecast. Householders, anxious to get good sized bird at a right price, can put themselves in stock brokers shoes and buy when they hope the rock bottom price is being quoted.
