Introduction Into United States of Im-
pure or Mis-branded Foods or
Liquors is Also Prohibited—Protec-
tion for Retail Dealers
WASHINGTON: Federal control of
foods, drugs and liquors for the pur-
pose of securing their purity is pro-
vided for in a comprehensive bill to
be introduced in the senate at an early
date by Senator Heyburn, of Idaho.
Jurisdiction of the government over
these articles is declared in the meas-
ure when they become articles of in-
terstate or foreign commerce and a
penalty of a maximum fine of $500 and
one year's imprisonment is provided
for violators of the regulations set
forth. ,
It is made unlawful to sell or manu-
facture any article of food, drugs, med-
icine or liquors which is adulterated or
misbranded or which contains any
poisonous or deleterious substance, it
terms prohibits the Introduction into
the United States or insular posses-
sions from a foreign country of foods,
drugs and liquors which are not pure
or are misbrauded.
To ascertain the purity of foods,
drugs, and liquors, both of foreign
and domestic manufacture jurisdiction
is given to the secretaries of the treas-
ury, agriculture and commerce and
labor, to prescribe uniform rules for
the examination to be made by the
bureau of chemistry of the department
of agriculture. In case an article is
found upon examination to be adul-
terated, notice is to be given to the
party from which the article was ob-
tained by the secretary of agriculture,
and a hearing arranged for. Should
the hearing develop that the provision
of the bill have been violated, the sec-
retary of agriculture is to at once
certify the facts to the proper United
States district attorney. It is made
the duty of each district attorney to
whom the secretary of agriculture
shall report any violation of the pro- !
visions of the bill, or to whom any j
health ofllcer of a state, territory, the J
Insular possessions or the District of
Colombia, shall present satisfactory
evidence of such violation, to com-
mence and prosecute without delay In
the proper courts of the United States
for the recovery of the fines and en-
forcement of the penalties. It is pro-
vided that no dealer can be convictei
under the terms of the bill when he
can establish a guaranty signed by
the wholesaler, jobber, manufacturer
or other party residing in the United
States from whom he purchased the
articles, to the effect that the article
is not adulterated or misbranded with-
in the meaning of the proposed act.
It is made a misdemeanor to refuse
to sell samples to agents of the gov-
ernment. Process libel is provided
where Impure articles are seized in
transit or where they are on sale in
unbroken packages, the result of which
may be an order of the court for the
destruction or sale of the goods. Pro-
vision is made in such cases that
upon payment of the costs of the pro-
ceedings and the furnishing of a bond
that the goods shall not be disposed of
contrary to law, the owner may ob-
tain possession. The measure is not
to be construed to interfere with com-
merce wholly within a state, nor with
the exercise of the police powers ot
the several states.
The measure defines what shall con-
stitute misbranding and adulteration
in the articles over which it assumes
jurisdicton.

Townsend in Southern District
CHICKASHA: The recent assur-

that Judge C. W. Raymond will not

as judge of the western district of
Indian Territory have added strength

that Raymond is to be let down easy,

shelving Judge Hosea W. Townsend,

Raymond his place, thus smoothing

There has been some speculation
here regarding the effect which such
a move would have on Judge Dicker-
son, the former Kansan, who is now
associated with Judge Townsend in
this district. Judge Dickerson is a
receptive candidate for the federal
judgeship of the southern district in

CRASH IS EXPECTED
Russia is Experiencing a Test ot
Strength with Skilled Workmen
CHICAGO: The Record-Herald
prints the following dispatch from St.
Petersburg under date of Dec. 2:
"A crash is expected momentarily.
The military sugeons, gunners, techni-
cists and artillerists have struck. The
revolutionaries are unwilling to give
the government an excuse for employ-
ing violent repression and are them-
selves abstaining from violence, ex-
cept that discharged workmen are
burning factories.
"The strike of the postal and tele-
graph employes is a severe test of the
government's strength. Russian tele-
graph operators are educated men, but
the hardest worked and poorest paid
skilled laborers in Europe. Therefore
I they have popular sympathy in their
present strike.

'We expected a panic on the Bourse,
so we are not disturbed by the de-
velopments there. A further slump
in values is probable since there enn
be no rally until normal conditions in

five years—quickly spread through the
village, and practically the whole pop-
ulation of Diamondvllle flocked to the
mine shaft. In the previous explosion,
which occurred February 2G, 1901, thir-
ty-two miners perished.
Wives and children of the entombed
miners were among those who rushed
to the shaft, and the scenes there were
most pathetic. Though men were
ready to enter the shaft, it was im-
possible to do so, owing to the after-
effects of the explosion, and Superin-
tendent Thomas Sneddon insisted that
all precautions against fire should be
taken.
The explosion occurred 1,100 feet
under ground and at least 3,000 feet
from the mouth of the shaft. The ex'
plosion wrecked the brattices and
blocked the entrances to the lower
levels of the mine, necessitating the
removal of much debris before the
miners could be reached. When the
rescuers finally went into the mine,
none could remain long. The crowds
around the portal eagerly watched, as
car after car came from below, but
they brought up only rescuers who
had been overcome by the after damp.
Every man in the mine perished.

morning, "I hear or read of somebody
who refused a reward for returning

The finder was usually insulted. That
doesn't seem right to me. Why should
anybody sneer at a reward? What
right have we to expect any reward at

he asked. 'Yer a pretty cheap guy.'
'"There's just $3 in the pocket

" 'Well, you oughter gimme a do!

It Is as Dangerous as the Tobacco or
Whisky Heart.
"Coffee heart" is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long homo if the
drug is persisted in. You can run 30
or 40 yards and find out if your heart
is troubled. A lady who was once a
victim of the "coffee heart" writes
from Oregon:
"I have been a habitual user of cof-
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which I became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. It
would beat most rapidly just after I
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some-
times my pulse would go as high as
137 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
"I gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum ray
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago, and all my ills, the indi-
gestion. inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away, and
my complexion has become clear and
natural. The improvement set in
very soon after I made the change.
Just as soon as the coffee poison had
time to work out of my system.
"My husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use of Postum, and
we find that a simple breakfast with
Postum is as satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
kind of coffee." Name given by Postum
