Asked Whether Figs May
Be Packed In Wine '
The question cf whether the
sale in this state of "Kadota figs
packed in pure California wine'
and cane' sugar." is a violation of
l Oregon prohibition laws has been
referred to Attorney General I.
H. Van Winkle for a legal opin
ion. The question was brought to
the attention of Mr. Van Winkle
by George Alexander, state pro
hibition director, and Tarrott
and company, merchandise brok
ers with headquarters in Port
land. It has been intimated that
if sale of the California product
is not contrary to provisions of
the Oregon dry laws a number ol
packers in this state will attempt
to market cherries and prunes un
der a similar formula.
Parrott and company, in a let
ter to the state prohibition direc
tor, indicated that they were in
. te rested In the opinion of the at
torney general only in so far as it
affected their Oregon clients. The
prohibition commissioner, on the
other i hand, desires the opinion
that he may hare some legal safe
guard in the enforcement of the
prohibition act.
Although the attorney general
has not yet completed his legal
opinion, be today referred to a
section of the Oregon prohibition
law which provides that prepara
tions which are reasonably like
ly or intended to be used as a
beverage and which contain in ex
cess of one-half of one per cent
alcohol by volume, are considered
intoxicated liquors and cannot be
sold legally in this state. .
Under this statute it would be
necessary for the attorney general
to determine wnether figs, prunes,
cherries or other fruits packed in
wine and cane sugar are reason
cbte likely or intended to be used
as a beverage. It was admitted
tiiat the California product con-
nnder
statute.
Attorney - General Van Winkle
said thai thus far he had received
no samples of the California fig
concotion. although he understood
that a 'ffmall TnAnnt V. .3
State Attorney General! uct had been 3ent to the state pro
hibition director. "It is possible."
said an attache of the attorney
general's office, "that the sugar
content of the Kadota fig prepar
ation is of sufficient quantity to
make It unfit for beverare pur
poses. On the other hand, tbe
sugar, content may improve its
taste and make it better for con
sumption. "These are questions which an
parently we must take into con
sideration in writing a legal opin
ion." The Kadota fig product, which
stresses its wine content, is man
ufactnred at Stockton, Cal., ant
sold in virtually all states under
a permit issued by fhe federal
prohibition bureau.
Parrott and company said in
their letter that by packing prunes
and cherries under a formula sim
ilar to that used by the Califor
nia concern, the Oregon growers
probably would find an untried
but profitable market for their
products.
Puding receipt of the opinion
the state prohibition director will
take no action against the Califor
nia manufacturer of the fig prep
aration. Neither will Parrott and
company advise their clients to
engage in the manufacture of a
prune or cherry preparation under
a similar formula.

The basis of treating sickness
has not changed since Dr. Cald
well left Medical College in 1875,
nor since he placed on the market
the laxative description he had
used in his practice, known to
druggists and the publis since
1892, as Dr. Caldwell's "Syrup
Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of consti
pation, biliousness, headaches,
mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other injdispo
sMions that result from constipa
tion was entirely by means of
simple vegetable laxatives, herbs
and roots. These are still the
basis of Df. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, which is a combination of
senna and other mild laxative
herbs, with pepsin.
Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He
did not believe they were good
for human beings to put into their
system. If grown people want to
use them no one 'an deny them!
the privilege, but they should nev
er be given to children.
The simpler the remedy for con
stipation, the safer for the child
and for you, and the better for
the general health-of all. And as
you can get results in a mild and
safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's
AT AGE 63
Syrup Pepsin,
why take chances
with strong! drugs? All drug
stores have the generous bottles.
We would; be glad to have you
prove at our expense how much
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can
mean to you and yours. Just write
"Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illin
ois, and we will send you prepaid
a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE.

OWNERSHIP
1 1 AHE first prehistoric man to become
j JL manufacturer owned his own tools
rough, instruments of flint made with his own
I hands. L -
As industry developed and cru 'jc tools gzvc
way to more costly and more complex
machinery, merr" separated themselres into
groupszowners of tools and users o tools
Out of this separation grew industrial prob
lems, and in their solution, the trend has been
tovrard x wider ownership of the tools ofl
industry by those whonse diem.
- Industry's most useful tool in America, tha
tdephone, is owned by those it serves. Bell
: System securities are distributed among
- 800,000 inVestors, nearly all oi" whom are
tdephone users. The stock of the American
TcL &Tei Co. is held by more than 42 0,000
owners, and no individual owns as much as
I tfo. In this nariontfide ownership of nation
nide faciliaes, the tool owner and tool user
are identical. " . ,r
