EXPERTS' WISDOM
FOB NEW FOOD AI
Important Work 01 Arranging
Administration of Act Is
Under Way.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, July 11.It is true that
congress made no appropriation at the
late session for the carrying into ef
fect of the pure-food law, but that
omission, which was the result of an
oversight, is not important, since the
law will not go into effect until the 1st
of January, 1907. By that time the
short session of congress will have been
under way for almost a month, and
the necessary sum will probably have
been provided in an emergency appro
priation bill which it is always cus
tomary and necessary to pass in the
early weeks of the session.
Meanwhile, the secretary of agricul
ture, the secretary of commerce and la
bor and the secretary of the treasury,
who are charged with the administra
tion of the law, are to put their heads
together for the working out of proper
administrative regulations. The im
portance of this work cannot be over
estimated. Upon the wisdom displayed
by the men who superintend it will
depend entirely the working effect of
the new law. The work cannot be hur
ried.
In the very nature of the case, weeks
and months of careful, painstaking la
bor must precede any systematic at
tempt to put the law into effect. I
was knowledge of this fact which
caused congress to name the first of the
year as the time when the law should
be operative.
Like Engfand's Law.
The three secretaries named will
have the benefit of all the experts in
their respective departments, and it is
believed that the result of their labors
will be entirely satisfactory. The pres
ident is to pass judgment on the*regu
lations as finally drafted, and reserve
the right to amend them. And after
these regulations have been approved
by himself they will be passed on to
the attorney general for an opinion as
to their workability from a legal point
of view. This will be an important
part of the inquiry, for it is obvious
that there will be numerous suits be
fore the law is gonerally accepted, and
the president will want to know in
advance of suits being brought, either
by the government or against it, that
the regulations will stand the test of
the courts
It is an interesting fact that the
pure-food law is almost identical in
form with the bill on the same sublet
which passed the senate eighteen years
ago, when the agitation first began.
But that was long before the days of
the muckraker and of the crystalliza
tion of public opinion against the sen
ate for its too conservative and some
what retroactive policy. The senate
bill of that day was defeated in the
house, as the present law would have
been but for the pressure of the coun
try as a whole, a pressure which the
house did not dare resist too long. The
new law is also said to be almost a ver
batim copy of the existing law of Eng
land, and where there are departures
from that law it is claimed that the
American law is the better of the two.
Will Enforce I Rigidly.
Officers of the government do not ex
eo that there will be much difficulty
the enforcement of the law. Not to
exceed 5 per cent of the manufacturers
and dealers, it is said, will try to evade
it. The others will comply with it of
their own acc'ord.
While the three secretaries are busy
ing themselves with the working out of
proper regulations, the chemistry bu
reau of the department of agriculture
is to make a careful test of the effect
of cold storage on poultry, fish, game
and eggs This test will last for almost
six months, and the results of it will be
announced in time to permit of the
regulations being changed to conform
to it before going into effect. The cold
storage test for fruits has already been
made. Fruit can be kept in storage
for three or four months and improved.
After fruit becomes thoroly ripe,' how
ever, it deteriorates, even in storage.
The regulations will take note of this
fact.
Indications point to- about a year as
the limit of time for stored meats, and
if the tests bear out these indications,
something will happen to the business
of commission men in cities like Chi
cago, who corner the market for fowls,
game or certain other kinds of meat
supply after holding their goods for a
year and perhaps for two years or
more. The' storage egg is also to be
condemned, unless all the signs fail.
It has been discovered that at times
eggs are in storage for several years
before going on the market. The house
wife who can pick out the storage egg
by its musty smell will be glad to know
that this same smell is being investi
ated by DT. Wiley, government chem
ist, and that it is to be done away with
in the regulations for the enforcement
of the new law that is, if the present
tests demonstrate that it ought to be
done away with, as it is believed they
will. WINE CASTS GHILL
0NCHICAG0BA1UET Indignant Woman Denounces In-
toxicants as Glasses Are
Raised.
Journal Special Service.
Chicago, July 11.Wine divided the
women at a banquet last night in the
Grand Pacific hotel. When glasses were
filled with a fluid which was supposed
to be champagne, but which later was
declared to be "Sauterne of a vintage
before the Chicago fire," two women
indignantly left the banquet table, oth
ers looked askance at their brimming
glasses, and a coldness arose between
the wine and the anti-wine elements.
The banquet was given for the wives
and daughters of the Hotel Men's Mu
tual Benefit association. It was -just
as Mrs. M. A. Lonng had concluded
the address of welcome that the trou
ble began. The "address" was em
bodied in a poem written by Mrs. Lo
ring, which concluded with the words:
"So I bid you a royal welcome a
royal welcome." And the speaker
raised her glass to her lips.
Two women seated far from the
speaker's table glanced at the glasses
before them, apparently for the first
time, and recognized the general char
acter of their contents. They arose
from their seats and left the banquet
hall.
My husband has owned a hotel for
twenty years and we never have had
intoxicating liquors in it. I do not care
to sit at a banquet table where they
are served," said the elder of the two
departing women.
Then the indignant woman called at
tention to the costumes worn by the
guests at the banquet.
I have never seen such costumes
before, and I want to say right here
that they are shocking," she added.-

EXPRESS MERGER HINTED
REORGANIZATION OF NORTHERN
PACIFIC COMPANY TAKEN TO
MEAN MUCH.
Speculation is rife among railroad
men as to the meaning of the reincor
poration of the Northern Pacific Ex
press company, under the name, North
ern Express company.
The opinion is general that it means
a merger of the express business of the
Hill lines, the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington.
Heretofore, the express business of
these railroad companies has been han
dled by three different companies, the
Great Northern, the Northern Pacific
and the Adams. I is a matter of com
mon report that the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific express companies
have always been owned by the same
interests that control the railroads of
the same names. The Adams Express
company, however, is an old company
that operates on many railroads and is
independent of their" management.
The lease that the Adams Express
company has on the Burlington Express
business has not expired, but it is in
timated that when that lease does ex
pire, it will not be renewed, but the
business will be handled by an express
company owned and controlled by the
Hill interests.
If this be reaDy the program, and one
express company 1B to take care of the
business of all three of the Hill lines,
the new concern will handle traffic of
immense magnitude. At present the
mileage of the Burlington, with all its
branch lines, is 8,459 miles that of the
Great Northern 6,379 miles, and that of
the Northern Pacific 5,810 miles, mak
ing a total of 20,679 miles. I may
bo that tho newly incorporated North
ern Express company will be used to
granted.

Soo Passenger Man Issues Case of Hot

"YOB. it is thawing," is a sample of
the useful expressions printed on a se
ries of cards which are being issued
by the Soo road for advertising pur
poses. The cards are set in a leather
ette case, like a perpetual calendar,
and the not weather has been produc
tive of a lot of fun with them. When
the conventional question is asked on
a day like this, the fortunate possessor
of the cardcase points to the card. Each
of the twenty or more cards has an
axiom of some kind printed on both
sides. On each face is also printed
some reference to the Soo line. This
unique desk ornament is considered one
of the cleverest of the Callaway sefl&s

BUYS JAPANESE TIES
Harriman Crosses Pacific for Material
for Mexican Roads.
San Francisco, July 11.E H. Har
riman has become a large buyer of rail
road ties in Japan and is having them
delivered at Guayamas, Mexico, for 56
cents, gold, each.
A contract for 1,50D,000 ties has been
let and one shipload of 83,000 has al
ready been delivered. Thru concessions
obtained last year from President Diaz
of Mexico, Harriman and his New York
associates are building 700 miles of
road in the states^of Sonora arrd Sinaloa
to connect with the Southern Pacific on
the southern border of Arizona.
The Japanese ties are for use in
building this new road. The ties are
made from a hard wood, said to be
peculiarly adapted for railroad building
in that section of Mexico.

From more recent developments in
