PuriM of the Work.
lt Is fr the purpose of enforcing
the provisions of this food and drugs
act that these laboratories have ben
established.
All of the federal laboratories nre
thoroughly equipped so as to make
nny nnd nil examinations or analyses
which the enforcement of the food
and drugs act may require.
The work "f each laboratory may
be divided Into two classes first,
international or Import work; second,
domestic or Interstate work.
The first protects against the im
purity of product Ions of foreign coun
tries. I wish to call your attention to a
difference or dlstlneton between state
work and Interstate work.
Th.. federal Government does not
Interfere nnd takes no part In purely Win other words, the manufacturer as
state work; on the other hand, the
federal government Is very much In
terested In Interstate work. It is a
question of the government not In
terfering with what belongs to thf
ptute.
'
The state of Oregon, for instance,
has Its own pure food lawB, and It
own slute dairy und food commission.
These, laws and tho state commission
nre amply able to attend to all tho
stato work without tho aid of the
federal government.
A Portland manufacturing1 compa
ny may put on the market an abso
lutely pure, wholesome product, or a
grossly adulterated one. So long as
these articles nre sold within tho state
of Oregon tho federal government
pays no nttention to them, this be
ing a matter for tho state dairy and
food commissioner to look after.
However. If this Portland firm sent
their manufactured product Into an
other state, then the federal govern
ment would become Immediately In
terested and might take a hand in
the matter.
Study 1'orclgn Sample.
The government has. a Lumber of
exnerl food Inspectors, who are con
stantly studying Interstate shipments
of food stuffs, anil from time to time
tney ure taking samples of such ship
ments. These samples nre sent to
the federal laboratories for analysis.
As a result of these analysis of n
tirslale samples, hearings lire being
held in different parts of the country
and manufacturers and dealers are
being called upon for Information
pi rlalning to certain Interstate cases
of food or drug products; and from
time to time fines are being Imposed
upon parties found guilty of violat
ing the law.
At the present time the department
of agriculture Is Issuing a scries of
leaflets known as "Notice of Judg
ment." Each of- these relates to
some particular case or violation of
the food and drugs act, giving In de
tail the history of the case and the
fimlii gs of the court; that Is, whether
ri ntence has been suspended or pro
ik tim ed. If the latter, the amount
of the sentence, or fine Imposed Is
published.
I wish to sav a few words concern
ing serial number guaranties', as this
Is very seldom understood by the
public. Jlost monufacturers place a
label on their goods reading as fol
lows: "Guaranteed under the Food
nnd Drugs Act, June 30, 190C." This
phrase Is accompanied by a serial
number or a so-cnlled guaranty num
ber. Many people when purchasing
good, such as a can of baking pow
der, for example, nnd reading upop
the label the phrase, "Guaranteed
under the Food and I H ugs Act, June
.la, Koifi," think that this amounts to
a guaranty by the federal govern,
ment: that the government experts
Live examined the goods and found
tl.em to comply with the law. Xoth
liig could be farther from the truth.
The government experts have not ex
amined the goods and the govern
ment does not guarantee them to be
r ure.
Wluit (iiinnmnv Menus.
The phrase "Guaranteed under the
Food nnd Drugs Act, June 30, 1006,"
siilal number (150, for Instance),
means simply this and nothing more:
that the manufacturer has made ap
plication to the Fnited States depart
ment of agriculture, bureau of
chemistry for n serial number of
Minrnnty, nnd that he (the manufac
turer) takes oath that his goods are
pure nnd not adulterated nor mis
branded within the meaning of the
food nnd drugs net, June 30. 1906.
course, handle goods which aro not
guaranteed, as their own risk. With
reference to Interstate work, proba
bly the most trouble has been caused
by a misuse of abuse of labeling?
many samples of food and drug pro
ducts have been mislabeled or rnls
branded. This has been due In part
to a misunderstanding of tho law and
In part to the advertising matter
used on labels by unscrupulous man
ufacturers Hi.im sl y I ins Xo IVnr.
For inHanee, certain manufactur
ers und patent medicine firms have
tried to give the impression to the
public that since they have a serial
number guarantee and state on their
goods that they are guaranteed under
the Food find Drugs Act of June .i0.
1)106, that their goods have been ex:
amlned and are guaranteed by thi
government. Such statements are
absolutely fain'.
In Justice to the better class of
manufacturers and wholesalers, I
might state that 'tin y are in sympa
thy with the Food and Drugs Act.
The honest, upright manufacturer or
wholesaler has little or nothing to
fiur by the enforcement of tho pro
visions of tiie Food and Drugs Act.
At times the honest manufacturer
may find li a little hVrd to compete
with the, unscrupulous one, but even
tually, this latter class will, I hope,
be put out of bus .ness.
To the in inul.'ii lurer, wholesaler
and dealer, I would Nay, be square
and above board, have all labels and
advertising matter on your wares
Hate the truth, and you need have
but little-fear of violating the Food
and Drugs Act of Julie 30, 11106.

ROBERT JOHNSON, Secretary.
Before accepting the position I now hold, 1 made a thorough
inspection of the stock Clothing, Overcoats, Gent's Furnish
ings andfShoes, and in fact the entire line of merchandise
to ascertain if I could honestly show and recommend the
goods carried here. After the investigation, I was consider
ably surprised at the fine line of correct and seasonable styles,
textures and models carried by Mr. Moses and more so by
the prices charged, which are far below any 1 have noted in
the city, for the same quality of goods. This is explained by
the fact that Mr. Moses pays cash and thereby discounts his
billsgiving his patrons the benefit gained.
Based upon this inspection, I cordially invite my friends and.
acquaintances to call and see me just that I may prove what
Thave said above whether you care to buy or not.

JSirds are destroying the telephone
and telegraph pules in the west.
In some places SU per cent of all
pohs along the right of way have
hecn riddled hy these innocent of
fenders, which belong to '.he wood
pecker family.
line of the Western Union officials
who has recently returned from an
Inspection through the west, reported
having seen 25 telephone poles with
2 tn or 300 holes drilled clear through
them. Some of the holes wore three
or four inches in diameter.
An officer of the Illimois Central
railroad counted the whlt-a cedar
poles along the right of ay near
Covington, Tenn., which had been afi
fected by woodpeckers, and found
that out of 268 poles, 110, or 41 per
cent, had been bored.
In some cases destruction of the
pole takes only a few months, and
dangerous for a lineman to climb the
stick.
Tho real object of the birds in
drilling the holes is uncertain. One
telephone man said lhat the hum
mine of the wires was mistaken by
the birds for insects excavating be-
neath the surface of the woo l, and
that they drilled the poles in quest of,
these imaginary insects. It is very
probable, however, that the holes are
excavated for an entirely different ;
purpose. The woodpecker is a provl-
dent bird. At the proper season it;
stores up a supply of acorns nnd oth-
er foods for future consumption. In
the summer these holes are often;
found stored with acorns. j
Ulany methods of preventing this
damage have been suggssiod, but
probably the most successful is pres-l
civation with creosote. A line f.fj
creosoted poles, opposite the one near:
Covington, was examined and not a;
single hole was found. When It la 1
considered that the creosote will notj
only prevent the damage caused by ,
the woodpecker, but also protect the
pole indefinitely ngalnst both insects
and decay, its great value as a pre
sentatlce is apparent.
The forest service has spent con
siderable time in developing a cheat
yet efficient method for the treatment
of telephone and telegraph poles. The
rsults of the work are embodied In
several Forest service circulars, cop
ies of which may be obtained without
cost from the Forester, Washington,
