Caution Against Unscrupulous Treat
ment of Infantile Paralysis.
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.

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.
