WASHISOTOJf. Jan 21. Declaring
th.it many so-called panaceas sold by
manufacturers under misleading labels
not only were useless for the diseases
ttijr were purported to cure, but were
positively harmful. President Toft sent
a special message to Congress today
urging that, the pur food and drum
law be amended at once, so as to fur
nish a safeguard of the publio health.
'e asks Congress to strengthen that
act In vital points of weakness recently
pointed out by decisions of the United
Hates Supreme Court.
The message rss transmitted to both
the Hecate and House. Representative
Jiaerley. of Kentucky, has already In
troduced a bill bearing on the subject.
Tiie President's message. In part, fol
lows: "On June 30. 190. after an agitation
of 20 years, the food and drug act
passed by the Fifty-ninth Congress, re
ceived the approval of the president
and became lav. The purpose of the
measure was two fold first, to prevent
the adulteration of food and drugs
within the Jurisdiction of the Federal
government; and. second, to prevent
any false labeling; of foods and drugs
tliut will drive the people Into the be
lief that they are securing other than
that for which they asked and which
tuey have the right to get.
I a mt Vigorously Enforced.
The law was received with sreneral
5t!.ifai-'tlo and has been vigorously
enforced.
"The Supreme Court has held !n a
recent decision (U. S. vs. O. A. John
son, opinion May Z. 1)11). that the
food and drugs act dos not cover the
knowing of false labeling of nostrums
a.-tlon. and that Inquiry under this BOTH TO BE TRIED, PLAN
salutary statute does not by Its terms
eitend In any case to the InefOcacy
of medicines to work the cures claimed
for them on the labels. It follows that,
without fear of punishment under the
law. unscrupulous persons, knowing the
medicines to have no curative or reme
dial value of the diseases for which
f ey Indicate them, may ship In Inter
state commerce medicine labeled as
cures for diseases, which. In the pres
ent state of science, axe recognised as
Insurable.
'An evil which menaces' the general
health rf the people strikes at the Ufa
ef the Nation. In my opinion. th sale
of dangerous!? adulterated drugs, or
the sale of drugs under knowingly false
r.aiins as to liieir effect In disease, con
titates such as evil and warrants me
in calling the matter to the attention
ef the Congress.
Frauds Are Dangerous.
"At the time the food and drugs act
was passed, there were current In com
merce literally thousands of dangerous
frauds labelled as cures for epilepsy.
sure cures for consumption and all lung
diseases, cures for all kidney, liver and
malarial troubles, cures for diabetes,
cures for tumor and cancer, cures for
all forma of heart disease, la fact, cures
lor a.1 the Ills known at the present
day.
'T5 labels of many of these so-
calied cures Indicated their use for dis
eases of children. They were not only
utterly useless In the treatment of the
diseases, but In many cases were posi
tively injurious, if any of these state
ments had been true no one with access
to the remedies which bore them need
have died from any cause other Ifcan
accident or old age. Unfortunately the
statements were not true.
"I fear. If no remedial legislation be
granted at this session, that the rood
which has already been accomplished
r::i ee undone and the people of the
country will be deprived of a nowerf!
safeguard against dangerous frauds.
"The statute can be easily amended
to Include the evils I have described
I recommend that this be done at once.

Secretary Nagel. of the Department of

sity here today. Secretary Nagel dis
cussed the proposed Arlsona constitu
tion and spoke of the bill for popular
lection of United States Senators.
"The Initiative sounds plausible.'
said Secretary Nagel. "The basis of
the suggestion Is that legislative
bodies do not respond to the actual
demands of the people. I think it may
be said with perfect safety that If
there Is a weakness In representative
bodies today It is their too ready re
sponse to superficial popular demand.
Secretary Nagel said the referendum

"My apprehension." he said, "Is that

There ta nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color of

their locks soft, dark and glossy by
using a "sage tea." Whenever their

of sage leaves and applied it to their

Democratic Leader Pleads for Store
Power for States Republican
Says Fear for "Grandfather
Clause" Is Motive.
WASHINGTON, June 21. The House
today by a vote of 122 to 111 virtually
a strict party vote refused to concur
in the Bristow amendment adopted by
the Senate to the House resolution pro
viding for the direct election of Sen
ators.
The Bristow amendment leaves with
Congress the power- to regulate' the
time and manner of holding these elec
tlons. while the resolution passed by
the House during the early days of the
present session would change the Con
stitutlon so that "the times, places and
manner of holding elections of Sen
ators shall be prescribed in each state
by the Legislature thereof."
Representative Sells, of Tennessee,
voted against the amendment, while
Burke (Dem.) of Wisconsin, voted for
it. Representative Berger, of Wiscon
sin (Soc), voted for it. The resolu
tion, therefore, is returned to the Sen
ate for reconsideration by that body
as to whether It will reverse its former
action.
The Democrats proposed that the
people of the states could safely be en
trusted with the power of controlling
the elections of their Representatives
in the upper House, while the Re pub
llcans contended that such delegation
of authority would take from Congress
power which it should retain.
Representative Kucner. or Missouri,
In charge of the resolution on the
Democratic side, declared It was "the
command with American people that
the election oT United States Senators
be taken out of the market."
"I have no fear of the people, he
said, "but of the combinations behind
closed doors which trample on the
most sacred rights of the people. Give
the states Just a little more power and
we will take the lumber trust, tne
sugar and all other trusts out of pol
itics."
Representative Mann, on the other
side, asserted that' this was an attempt
of the Democrats to accomplish indi
rect! what they had been unable to
do directly.
Tou are afraid," he added, "that
your grandfather clauses will be unconstitutional.
I have spoken on the stump for ten
years for the direct election of Sen
ators," said Representative Prouty, of
Iowa, but I would prefer to leave the
Constitution as It now stands rather
than yield any of the power of the Fed
eral Government to the states."
The resolution, when it is returned to
the Senate. Is expected to precipitate a
lively discussion, but it is expected that
It will go to conference in the lmmedi
ate future.
