Some idea of the activities of the food in

zoo shipments of preparations Of foods and
drugs found to be substandard or adulterated
or the shipments seized 90 were medicines
and IS foods, with the others of miscellaneous
nature.
On the order of Federal commissioner 100
600 cans of ether found to be high in acidity
and useless were cut, covered with oil and set

Another case prosecuted was the shipment
Of liniment that was advertised as q cure for

to contain turpentine oil mustard oil, ammonia

OF some Of the diseases supposed to be cured

~ Gable to The star
LONDON, England, August ia
when q bank Is in trouble two things
are necessary--either the investors can
be persuaded to leave their money in or
the biggest investors must go to the aid
Of the bank.
That is the situation of the Bank
England today. With $4,000, 900 ($228,-

Need Money in London.
Everything depends upon the willing
ness OF foreign creditors to leave their
money in London.
II is perhaps not realized that the
Bank of England finances the British
government, and that If the government
runs a deficit in the budget for which
money cannot be found elsewhere to
meet 1t. the Bank Of England must in
crease It's note circulation, and to in
crease note circulation without cor
responding increase in the gold reserve
means imitation.
