Washington, D. C, Aug. 1. Offic ials of the Department of Agriculture charged with the enforcement of the Food and Drugs act expect that tine outbreak of infantile paralysis will tempt unscrupulous persons to offer for sale so-called "cures" or remedies for this dread malady. They, there fore, have issued special instructions to the Food and Drug inspectors to be particularly alert for interstate shipments or importations of medi cines, the makers of which allege that flbey will cure or alleviate this disease, for which, at the present time, no medicinal cure is known. The officials also warn the public that any preparation put on the market and of fered for sale as being effective for the treatment of infantile paralysis should ibe looked upon with extreme suspicion. Inspectors, accordingly, .':ave been instructed to regard as suspicious, and to collect samples of, all medicines in interestate commerce for which such claims are made. Makers of such fraudulent remedies will be vigorously prosecuted when ever the evidence warrants action un der the Sherley Amendment to the Food and Drugs act. So-called rem edies for infantile paralysis which are offered for import into tihe country will be denied entry. ihe flood and Drugs officials are particularly watchful in this instance because it has been noted in the past that whenever a serious epidemic ex ists, unscrupulous dealers prey upon the fear or ignorance of the public by flooding the market with wortihless, hastily prepared concoctions, for which they assert curative properties which have no foundation whatever in fact. Sn the present instance, in spectors already 'have discovered ship ments of a few such mixtures. The department will do everything it can under Federal law to protect that portion of the public which is ex tremely credulous in times of panic and which will grasp at anything wnicmi promises protection or relief. The sale of such products at this time, the officials point out, is par ticularly threatening to the public health because many persons, relying on the false statements of impostors, neglect to secure competent medical advice. As a result, not only is the safety of the patient endangered, but in the absence of proper sanitary pre cautions, the likelihood of contagion is greatly increased. It must be understood, however, that the Federal Food and Drugs act applies only to products which are shipped in interstate commerce, that is, from one state to another, or vMch are offered for import or ex port, or which are manufactured or sold within a territory of the District of Columbia. Products which aie made and consumed wholly wi;hin a single state are subject only to such state laws as may apply and ni'2 un der the control only of state hj.ntli of ficials. The Federal law does not ap ply, for instnee, to patent medicines made within the state of New York and sold in New York City. Persons buying or using a "remedy" mado In their own state, therefore, must r?ly on the protection nccorded them b their local health authorities. 4 4 4 4 4 Silent Story Wins Suit Pails.

Join La Grande's Leading t Businessmen IN CITY'S GREATEST OPPORTUNITY La, Grande, Ore., July 12th, 1916. I La Grande Gas Company, t La Grande, Oregon Gentlemen: It is with pleasure that I hand you herewith copy of resolutions adopted at a recent meeting of the Commercial Club. Motion by Mr. Andrews: Be it resolved, that in view of the fact that Mr. Michael and Mr. McDonald have made it plain to the members of this board that their proposition relative to the erection of a gag plant in this city is a fair and just one and believing that a plant such as they propose would be a great benefit to this city, that we, the Board of Directors of the La Grande Commercial Club hereby endorse the plan as outlined and that we as an organization lend our assistance to the enterprise to the end that a gas plant be established here. Motion unanimously carried. La Grande has long needed a gas plant and it may not be out of place for me to state here that the La Grar.de public will welcome your company and lend all necessary assistance. Very truly yours, LA GRANDE COMMERCIAL CLUB (Signed) FRED B. CURREY, SECY. A local corporation has been formed for the manufacture and sale of gas for heating and cooking in La Grande. The gas business is a good business. It is simple and clean and the profits are as sure as taxes. i The directors have set aside a block of stock for public subscription. Jf vou become a stock holder you Avill get your gas at practically cost be cause vou will Share in the profits on all the gas sold. If you want a cleaner, better and cheaper fuel than wood or coal, don't overlook this oppor tunity. J If you wtnt your money where it will be safe and easily accessible if you should need.it where it will return a much larger income than the ordinary investment can' possibly pay and where it will grow line up with your friends and get in the La Grande Gas Company. There is no high financing about this. It is a simple proposition of your buying an interest in a mighty good business with .the right kind of men as partners. The services of an expert gas engineer have already been arranged for, the intention being to build a plant that will be as modern and as efficient as any of its size in the United States and at this plant gas will be manufactured from wood waste such as the lumber mills are now going to an expense to get rid of. ' j There is absolutely no question about the practicability of the process to be used. That has been proven beyond any possibility of a doubt. In fact, it has been in operation on a small scale for .the past sixty days right here in La Grande, supplying gas to the Sommer Hotel that is perfectly satisfactory in eveiy particular. 1 This gas was recently tested by Mr. Fred A. liasch, expert for .the Public Service Commission,, and was passed favorably upon by him. Under tliie direction of 'Mr. J. IT. McDonald, formerly superintendent of the San Francisco and Portland gas plants, Mr. Raseh made a thorough investi gation of the whole process from A to Z. He secured .the mill waste himself from the Palmer Lumber Company, weighed the quantity used, computed the fuel required, measured the gas manufactured from the same and tested its quality and the result proved that with this patented process, a given quantity of wood refuse will yield more good commercial gas, at a cost of practically nothing, than an equal amount of coal will at a cost of $7.00 or $8.00 per ton in Eastern Oregon. The proposition in a nutshell, then, is simply this: If gas can be profitably manufactured from coal at the prevailing prices in cities no larger than La Grande, (Pendleton, for instance), we certainly should make money manufacturing it from waste that costs almost nothing and returns more gas per ton than coal does. ' Can you see the opportunity? We will be pleased to furnish full information to anyone. Whether you buy an interest in our business or not will rest entirely with you but we will be glad to see you anyway and to show you a modern gas range, radiator, hot water heater, etc. So come in and talk it over or write for particulars.
