The Federal Food and Drugs Act
operated for your protection, Mrs.
Consumer. But, you will have to
cooperate by reading the label.
This act was passed to prevent
the sale of poisonous or a~dulterated
or misbranded foods and drugs. Your
cooperation is necessary, if you are
to get honesty in the labelling of
foods and drugs.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
is strict in its requirements that
labels shall not mislead consumers.
The law requires that all labels show
the name Of the product, the manu-
facturer or professor and give the
net weight or volume.
Read your labels intelligently. In
sist on being supplied with the exact
article you wish to buy. Before you
can do intelligent label reading, you
must know something about the
standards set up for various food
products.
For instance, suppose you ask your
grocer for a bottle of vanilla extract,
and he hands you a bottle labeled
vanilla extract. Are you posted on
YOUR extracts well enough to know
that what the grocer is selling you
is a synthetic product? You asked
for a product made from vanilla
beans.
Imitation products may be whole
some and perfectly good as foods,
but thev are usually inferior and
much cheaper than the genuine pro-
duct. The label must carry the word
pure" or limitation" depending on
the contents of the container.
Read labels on canned goods be-
fore making your purchase. You may
find you are getting canned fruit
packed in water when you want
canned fruit packed in strip.
In the case Of drugs read the labels.
When you buy medicines. if they
contain alcohol or morphine or GER
tain narcotics or habit-forming pre-
parations, the label will tell you
their quantity or proportion.
b ON drugs are not permitted
to make unwarranted claims of cura-
tive value. It is well to remember
the Federal Food and Drugs Act
does not cover false and fraudulent
advertisements for medicines made
in newspapers, magazines, or bill
boards, by radio or other advertising
means. not directly associated with
the package Of the medicine itself.
You will be wise, therefore, to COM
the label statements themselves
with the claims for the product made
in the advertisement.
You must also remember that the
Federal Food and Drugs Act does
not control foods or medicines viii
CHI are manufactured and sold who'll
ly within the borders of a state.

Spray cottle For Lice

All cattle should be sprayed to
control lice, as lice re very harm
full and live upon the cattle through
out the winter. You may control lice
on cattle by spraying around the
latter part of October or LIST of No

Remember feed is going to be very
scarce and very high. Oats planted
during the month Of October and
fortified with nitrate of soda or
ammonium nitrates will give you
good grazing during December, jan
uary and February and will make a
normal amount of grain in the spr-
ing.

Cover Crops

Cover crops will help substitute
for your nitrogen fertilizer. Vetch,
wild winter peas, crimson clover,
Austrian Winter peas and a few
other winter cover crops will pay big
dividends if allowed to remain on
soil long enough to get a good grow
tn. A good cover crop turned under
is equivalent to two hundred pounds
or more Of nitrate soda or one hum
bred pounds of ammonium nitrate.
The AAA will pay for part of your
seed if you plant before October 31st.

Fertilizer

Fertilizer is going to be scarce.
You had better exert every effort
possible to buy your fertilizer now.
Remember you do not have your fer
tilizer until it is in your storage
house. A promise next spring
does not mean a thing because the
fertilizer is not likely to be avail
able. So buy every sack of any kind
or fertilizer that you can find now.

SPORTS !. ROUNDUP
tBY Hugh Fullerton. JrJ

NEW YORK, [P)-One of base balls mysteries is how an ordinary player on one team can become a star just by changing to another. No explanation is offered here, but you can point to Joe Gordon, George McQuinn, Harry Walker and Bob Elliott of the American and National league all-star teams that clash next week as prime ex- amples of such revivals. Cor don was traded away by the Tanks after Larry MacPhail de- the club couldn't use him; Me Quinn was cut loose by the Ath- letics; the Cards shuffled Walker off to Philadelphia for Ron Nor they, who has been helpful but not as outstanding as Harry, and Elliott figured in the deal, which the Pirates acquired Billy Heman as manager. You might toss in Rudy York, who was dealt from the Red Sox to the White Sox while he was being voted onto the all-star squad.
 Ben Downing, chairman of the New York state harness racing commission, likes to talk about the Good" old days when he was a semi-pro baseball pitcher. |. On one occasion, Ben recalls, he rode 84 miles on a bicycle to pitch a doubleheader. After a few hours sleep he pedalled 84 miles home again and thought he was doing all right when he was paid S5 for the job. At least, nobody kept the breakage.

 "We are working to see if some formula cannot be reached which will satisfy all parties and which, at the same time, will allow the paper industry to go to Alaska without further delay" Bartlett said.
 "I fear it is not a proposition of merely. deferring entry of the in- dustry to Alaska for another year if we do not do anything now.
 Representative of one com pany have told me that if they cannot count on the Alaska prop osition now they will have to move to another area which they have investigated.
 "We cannot afford to lose this industry. It means too much to the whole Territory. The industry will bring year around employ ment to Alaska and will roughly double the population of the re- zion. They would create payroll bigger than anything we now have"

General Douglas Macarthur will

States
That, at least, is the occult pre-
diction of 75-year-old japanese for
tune teller, Kakudo Tomioka, who
eulogized: Macarthur has a glo-

Tomioka, who is said to have a
record of several accurate predic-

with Mohandas Ghandi in the field
of social welfare.
''There presently are two living
men who have succeeded in realiz-

CAUTION TO THE WINDS

Swinging sharply away from it's

U. S. buying public has launched
itself on a relatively liberal pur-

Virtually all fields of trade have
reported a clear-cut trend away
from passive waiting for lower
prices, and purchases are increas-

The change has given rise to a

In addition, it was disclosed that

Most important personnel shift in

from his post as commissioner of
immigration to position in the
state department where he will sur

their resettlement.
This is expected to result in add

Mr.. Truman issued in December,
1945, calling for !coordinated action
by federal officials to admit as
many displaced persons as possible
within quota limitations.
