All places where food products are
handled must be thoroughly screened,
and sleeping in the kitchen of the lit
tle restaurant or other establishment
where food is prepared is prohibited
Filth Deemed an Adulteration.
"Filthy" is one term used In defim
Ing conditions under which foods
shall be deemed adulterated. "Filthy"
is defned In the same section as ap
plying to "food not securely protected
from flies, dust, dirt, and, as far as
may be necessary, by all reasonable
means from all foreign or Injurious
contamination."
Correct Lalx'Is.
Correct labeling of all food prod
ucts, giving the consumer knowledge
of the contents, i3 made necessary by
the new law; and concoctions of
ether, coal tar dye, glucose and other
substances can no longer be sold as
extracts, soda waters, syrups, Jellies
or other food or drink unless they
are labeled with the word "artificial"
in type as large as any other on the
label.
Peace and Police Officer.
Any police or peace officer, wheth
er city, town or state officer, is given
authority to enter any place where
food products are handled and report
conditions to the district attorney.
Slaughter House Regulations.
The law provides that no animal
that is past the three-fourths period
of pregnancy shall be slaughtered for
food purposes. Hogs shall not be fat
tened on uncooked offal, and If kept
or fed in the vicinity of any slaughter
house shall be kept 150 feet away.
Standard for Milk.
The standard for total solids in
milk is reduced from 9 per cent to
8.5 per cent. Heretofore the only
standard for butter was that which
provided a maximum moisture con
tent of 16 per cent. The new law
provides, in addition to the moisture
standard, a minimum of 80 per cent
of pure milk fat.
Butter Defined.
The law also defines creamery but
ter, dairy butter, storage butter, re
worked butter and renovated butter,
and specifies how each shall be la
beled. Ail butter must have the place
of manufacture and the net weight
on the wrapper, in addition to the
words "Oregon Creamery Butter,"

Valley Pioneer
Crosses Divide
Medford Sun: "Uncle Vint Beal"
died Saturday morning, July 17, at
his home near Central Point, where
he has lived for practically an even
half century. He was In his 85th
year. Probably no other pioneer of
the valley has been better known or
more generally beloved.
His full name was Robert Vinton
Beall. He was born In Montgomery
county, Maryland, June 15, 1S31;
was of Scotch ancestry. With his
parents he moved to Sangarmon coun
ty, Illinois, In 1834. With his broth
er, Thomas F. Beull, he arrived at
Oregon City on the 18th day of July,
'1852. They had made the trip with
a six-mule team from St. Joseph,
i Mo., in 78 days. So far as is known
UVtlci a ..1. ..,... I.. ikU

trip was made by any of the early
settlers.
Like the other pioneers, Mr. Beall
was drawn here by reports of gold
discoveries, and he at once engaged
in placer mining in Josephine county.
On September 27, 1852, he came
across the mountains from Josephine
county to Jacksonville, where he like
wise engaged in mining. He has of
ten said that his first view of the
Rogue River valley was from the hills
back of Jacksonville and that It was
the mot beautiful sight that he had
ever beheld.
He and his brother Tom operated
a pack train from Oregon City to
Jacksonville and teamed and freight
ed from Crescent City, Cal., to Jack
sonville. At this time the boat serv
ice from San Francisco to Crescent
City and the river transportation to
Oregon City offered the best means of
transportation of supplies of the val
ley. Subsequently the Beall brothers
settled upon adjoining farms, near
what is now the town of Central
Point. They had practically the en
tire valley from which to select, and
they certainly made no mistake.
They threw their rail fences around
what is undoubtedly the most fertile
and one of the most beautiful spots
in the val'ey.
On April 19, 1S64. Vinton Beall
'was mpvried to Ann Maria Riddle at
the farm now known as Glenbrook,
in Douglas county, Oregon. At this
I time he was 33 years of age and his
I bride was 17. They have lived to
jgether for the past 51 years. There
'are two children, with the widow,
surviving him, Mary Strang of Med-
jford and Robert Vinton Beall, who
lived with his parents at the old
home.
I Vinton Beall was the ideal type of
the Rogue River valley pioneer. He
, was a man of very strong convictions,
I outspoken, fearless, and yet always
'kind and considerate of others. He
! was particularly progressive. He was
one-of the many pioneer contributors
I to the expense incident upon Ben
illollldav's first survey for the Ore-
!gon & California railroad through
Jackson county. In the earlier days
of his activity he was prominently
identified with every public move
ment and enterprise. He was a bun
j die of energy, and his good nature

and good cheer endeared him to every
one. He was a man of very strong
friendships and he always knew that
his friends were right. In the pass
ing of this strong race of pioneer
men and women he will be much
missed. But he rounded out a full
and useful life and. leaves with all

Most people In this country were
startled last month to read, In a
statement issued by the census bu
reau at Washington, that our nation
al wealth is now estimated at the
sum of $1,955 for every man. woman
and child in the country. The bureau
did not issue these figures as "a close
approximation" to actual facts, but
they are declared to be the best that
could bo compiled from existing data,
and they could fairly be compared
with a similar estimate published
eight years &;o. The. figures Indi

Mister Squeegee
Men's greatness is measured,
not by the things they promise to
do, but by what they accomplish.
Co it is with all things in this world.
Many men have announced their inten
tion of doing greater things with electricity
than Edison has done.
They have not made their promises
good, and Edison remains the wizard of science.
The popularity of Diamond Squeegee
Tread Tires is due to their merit in giving
cheap mileage and fulfilling service require
ments with unvarying regularity.
Great promises are made for other tires
promises that in many cases are never fulfilled.
More than 99 of all Diamond Squeegee Tread
Tires exceed the service that is promised for
them.
That comes pretty near giving you absolute
certainty.

cated that in less than two-thirds ot
a century that Is, from 1850 to
1912 the total wealth of the coun
try, exclusive of real estate exempt
i from taxation, had increased from
$7,136,000,000 to $175,426,000,000.
or from $308 per capita to $1,836
per capita. Stated in another way,
the figures show that the wealth of
the nation as a whole has Increased
since 1850 almost twenty-five times,
and the wealth of the Individual
about six times. The real estate ex
empt from taxation was estimated at
$12,314,000,000, or $125 per capita.
This real estate embraced buildings,
lands and public works owned by
federal, stnte or local governments,
and such property as was devoted to
educational, charitable and religious
work under conditions that exempted
it from taxation.
