THE FOOD AND DRUG LAWS.
(Hartford Courant)

The Department of Agriculture has recently released an analysis of the legislation that has been pre- pared by the Food and Drug ad-
 ministration to supplement the ex- isting laws governing the advertise.
 ment and sale of many kinds of
 drugs, cosmetics and foods. While there may be some question as tQ the pratcicality of certain of the
 suggested improvements, there can
 be little doubt that further im- plementing of the laws to remedy
 the faults that twenty years of practice have suggested is in the public interest
 While 1t Is probably true that
 'scarehead' methods have, in cer- tain instances been used to make the public conscious of the limita- tions of the existing laws, there ap-
 pears to be little doubt that the limitations do in fact exist. The laws were drawn up before the radio had become a vehicle for ad- vertisement and, in fact, before national advertising as it is known today was a material factor. A manufactures, for instance, is pro-
 hibited from making certain false claims for his product on the pack age in which 1t is packed; in many cases, however, he may advertise
 the claims as long as the advertise
 ment and the package are not the same.
 Moreover, the penalties for viola tions of the existing laws are large-
 ly inadequate and the methods of enforcement are clumsy and in the main ineffective. The usual pro-
 cedure, in the case of an outright
 violation, is to seek court order
 authorizing the seizure and des- truction of mislabeled products; seldom Is the manufacturier or person responsible for the mis- branding punished, except for the relatively minor loss incurred Ia the seizure of the product. Ordin- arily he may continue to manu. fracture the objectionable or mis- represented article, although, # the conditions are not correcteds con- | fiscafion of the goods may be
 sought through the courts. There instead of the enemy Of 1914. The tone of Clemenceau's re- plies sometimes is unusually caus. tic especially when he urges Foin- care to come to him and tell him

Business Is Bad

COSII 1903 - DdO
Directly across the way, sit
ting at the window above his
own eakeasy sits Harry
Brown. Mr.. Brown looks highly
dissatisfied. And why not? The
only customers to enter his
place that day were the walters
and the bartender. And the
only time he hears the cash
register is when the bartender
rings up a mo sale" just to
make sure that the thing still
works.
At one time Mr.. johnson and
Mr.. Brown were the very best
of friends-and for the break
up of this beautiful friendship
each one blames the other.
Strangely enough, they are both
right.
Highly interesting, isn't it?
Well, maybe I don't think so
either.
1t was about 16 months ago
that these two gentlemen first
met. Mr.. Brown was the pro-
prietor of his own speakeasy,
and Mr.. johnson was seeking
job as a bartender. Charlie got
the job in okay fashion, but he
received plenty of advice at the
same time.
Charlie was told in very def
mite fashion that any money
taken across the bar was not to
be considered his own. His last
three bartenders, Mr.. Brown
pointed out, had been fired be-
cause they didn't understand
that rule. There was to be no
put and take game in this es-
tablishment: it was all put.
All of this, although Mr..
Brown didn't know it, was
totally unnecessary in Charles
case. The latter gentleman was
perfectly satisfied with his SAL
ary-and jobs were scarce any,
how. So he tossed himself into
his job with plenty of vigor and,
before the boss knew what had
happened, Charlie was the fav-
orite hired hand around the
speak.
Customers Favorite
The customers-most of them
were males-didn't sit at tables
as they had in the past. In
stead, they crowded around the
bar in order to talk to Charlie.
Since there was more money to
be made at the tables. Mr..
Brown very quickly took Charlie
from behind the bar and pro-
NOTED him to the head waiter
ship.
After six months Mr.. Brown
took a look at the manner in
which his receipts had leaped
and summoned Charlie to his
little office.
Charlie" he asserted, "you
have been a very capable man
around here. I trust you more
than I ever trusted anyone, and
am now going to give you a
real position here. From now
on you are the manager of the
entire place and your salary is
increased $40 a week.
I'm going to take more time
off from now on, and you must
realize that you hold a very
important position. Aside from
watching all the help, you will
also have access to the safe.
And if you'll watch over my
shoulder, I'll show you just how
important the safe is"
Charlie W a hed d, and Mr..
Brown removed an envelope
with five 500 bills in it. He
tapped the envelope signifi-
cantly.
