i(5 THE BURLINGTON mm PRESS : THURSDAY. JANUARY 24, 1A07. THE PURE FOOD LAW Many Articles Will Fall bccauso of Its Provisions. lVoplr of llnrlliinlim Will lip Surpllril mi Krlldlnsr (lie .Now Lnliels to I, earn Wlitit They limp llccu llntlni; unci Drltiklnic. The application of the new national pure f inii law Is sure to open tho eyes of liur l.nirton people who until this law went into uffrct on tho first day of tho new yt-ir, hive been more or less lintornnt of what they were eatlnff and drinking. For the now law jtnes down deep under the mimea of various foods, hevorntres nnd medicinal preparations and compels the manufacturer to state In plain labels Ji.st what Is contained in thoso prepnra- t,C.',S, t onrnctlnns of spiriLi are no longer call ed whiskey, or lie syrupy known an lil.'i -kberry or strawberry Jam, honey, ir. inert molesie", or currant or raspbetiy jct'v. The alluring labels- In all cases must he altered before the first of next October In mii h a way that thoy tell nothing but the truth. In the meantime, tho manufac turer Is required to placo a statement of e contents of the products In a con sr nous plnco on tho pncknr,e.. The effect of this new law !s much jfreator nnd more far-reaehliiK than ap pears at first glance, night here In liur 1 Upton peoplo havo nlrendy noticed thnt !M ,r!ia and Java coffee. Is not to plentiful t was fnrmorly; and ninny a pood l-nispwlfo -will prefer other brands, when nhe learnn that 'the some of the luscious Knw"i powder which has mnde her "Mocha vnd Java" solooUisomo In the past waa made of ground coffee, chicory and baked yens or beans. RTItAWnpJRUTLBaS JAM. Strawberry jam also receives a blow he the new law. A lady recently nMted n grocer for a Jar of It. .Ho handed It M her. There on the bottlo of bright led pirup wn "strawberry" In large letters nnd a label stating that tho "Jam" con sisting of 45 per cent of apple Juice, -IS Ji r rent, of corn wrap, 0 per cent, of ,"-amrtated sugar nnd 1 por cent, of color leg matter and flnvor. Tho strawberries neie conspicuous by their absence. Hut this pood lady had other wants. K le wanted some of the best syrup, tho kind used for buckwheat cakes. Sho t-iok frotn his hand the can of syrup i ' tho familiar size nnd shape. Hut there was something unfamiliar about t '0 label. The name of tho brand ap peared as usual, hut big type nbove It -ald "Corn Syrup," and under this these words was this explanation: "3'1 per cent, cane syrup, 70 per cent, corn syrup." colorllss CHDRIUEF. The housewife thought she -would try to get something pure once more. Pho asked for maraschino chorrles to serve with grape fruit. Ono bottle exhibited 1y the grocer contained berries of a hieltlv yellow color. "These cherries are free from any coloring matter ivhat-e-r.'- explained the label on tho back. Then he produced some red cherries, et they were not neatly so rich In color as those the housewlfo used to buy. The label of this bottle said: "These r .ernes are rolore 1 tvlth carmine, a Iiai'inless color." The brilliant cherries f ir sale a fow month'! ago are treated w'th a coal tar dye, which Is now for bidden by tho new law. The woman made ono more try. This time she wanted the best canned string beans. She got a can of French beans w th a gilt label. On the label was a line stating that the beans had been "Colored with sulphite of Copper." It Is conceded that most of tho ccre nls are what they pretend to be, in composition, If not In health-giving nnd preserving qualities. Yet the new law will bo hard on many "patent" flours. Salad oil may or may not bo what It seems. Tho second best grades of Imported olive oil contain peanut nnd cottonseed oil to Increase the hulk, nnd tho label will now reveal this fact. CATSCP WILL COST MORE. Catsup must Increase In price from :n to 15 rents a bottle. The ordinary catsup, the ciders and many of tho pickles forrr.-erly contained sodium lienzoate as a preservative. Tho amount used In a pint bottlo was about one-tenth of 1 per cent., or a ono-twelve-hundredth part. Although this was not enough to hurt anyone, tho label must hereafter state its existence nr else It must be left out of tho prep aration. Without It tho catsup will Kur in a few dnys after tho bottlo U opened. Tho only thing for tho man ufacturers to do Is to boll tho catsup, nnd henco the Incrcnso In the cost por bottle. RHATi IIONBY NOW. The busy lice, thanks to tho new law has more work to do than ever to sup ply the demand for real honey. Tho bee has been shamefully treated in tho past nven his combs havo been Imi tated with wax, filled in with artificial rwcets and sold for honey from tho hive. Hut now jars nnd combs must lie labelled: "Honey compound "i per Protect the Little Ones Mothers, safeguard the children against the coughs and colds incidental to winter with HALES Honey ol Horehound and Tar The children like its flavor and it cures them of Colds, Coughs, Sore Throats, and affections of throat and lungs.

After years of backache suffering, Days of m'sery, nights of unrest, The distress of urinary troubles, Sho finds relief nnd cure? No reason why any Ilurllngton render Should suffer In tho face of evldenco like this: Mrs. Cyprlen CUn-Hetto, of no Allen St., Hurlington, Vt says: "At Intervals for four of live years I had n dull heavy pain across my kidneys. In the morn ing my back felt lame and son- for nn hour or two, until I moved about some when it would wear off. If 1 took cold It nlwnys settled In my back and bothered me until the Inflamma tion lessened. When my daughter got nio a bo- of lionn'K Kidney Tills at the I'ark Drug Store I was sick in bed. llefore 1 had used them three days I could see they were helping mo and when I had finished tho box I was able to be up nnd uround at my work, while there was not a sign of backache or any of my former trouble." For sale by nil dealers. Trice 61) cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Huffalo, New York, pole agents for tho United States. RcmenVber the name Doan's and take no other. cent, corn syrup. 25 per cent, honey." Hut the pure food reform with the grocers Is about ended. As far back ns the first of last May tho wholesale dealers knew that tho law- would he passed nnd ever since then they have been working to meet Its requirements. CANDY RICrORM. The manufacturers of candy are still In the midst of their veforms. Such tnsly substances as shellac, redneil mithnylene, or denatured alcohol mav be used to make candles glisten, nnd vaseline may still add to the rich, oily flavor, but Mich adulterants and dyes a sierra alba, or "white clay," barytes, talc and chrome, and other mineral substances must ho discontinued. Many candles will now bear warning labels to show that they are far from what they seem, JIHVEI.ATIONS IN" WIIISKLY. And tr.e new law raises havoc with tho liquor trade. Many a man has smacked his lips in appreciation, of a llnely-flav-ored liquor, the flavor of which was ob tained from the ingenious blending of cheap whiskies, synips and drugs. There Is a story that carload of raw whiskey was taken from Cincinnati to Kentucky and brought back two days later n "ten year old bourbon." Further, the "ryo" which Is geijerally used In the saloons Is usually mado of French spirits, piune Juice, caramel, .sherry and 10 per cent, of real rye. Hut after this, you have only to look at tho label to know just what you smack your lips for. After this you may drink a "blend" containing two whiskies of the same kind such as four year old and ton year old ryo. And If you drink a "com bination," it may be a mixture of two whiskies of different kinds, for example, bourbon or rye or corn and wheat whis key. While the baser sort, including French spirits, pruno juice, etc., Is now plain "Imitation whiskey." PATENT MBIMCIXES HIT HARD. Ill comparison with tho energy It has aroused among patent medicine manufac turers, however, tho work tho law has made for grocers and liquor traflickers is Insignificant. Chemists for weeks past have been working day and night In the big patent medicine establishments to bring their stocks up to the lequlremcnt of the law. Many a "doctor" who pro scribed for many ills, and who was mere ly a nostrum manufacturer, must now appear In his true colors; and many names of medicines or coiverns liuve been discarded because the medicine or title was not what it protended to be. "Nerve tonics," and cures of Intes tinal, lung or heart diseases, which aro neither tonics or cures, must bo left out of tho labels and advertisement. One nerve tonlo. before believed to be nn extract of a harmloss vegetable, Is now labelled Iodide of potash. A certain soothing syrup Is now labelled alcohol nnd opium. In England it Is labelled "poison." THK FAII, OF JAMAICA GINGER. Teetotalers, who havo embraced Ja maica "ginger" for ailments wlll prob ably 1,0 astonished and chagrined to read on the label that in consists of f5 per cent, of alcohol nnd S per cent, of ginger. Many a baby will ho deprive of its pare goric, when its mother learns that it contains -la per cent, of alcohol and two grains of opium to every fluid ounce. Perhaps the most astonishing revelation of all Is that which declares a certain "cholera mixture,'- to bo composed of "70 per cent, alcohol and .0.; grains of opium to every ounce." RIG IOSSES TO DEALERS. The losses Incurred by dealers In frau dulent or harmful medicines will bo enormous. Not only must they supply nrw labels by Ooelober 1, but many of them can no longer use the elaborato lithographs so often seen on fences anil blank walls, for this printed matter con talus false representations or tho names of mythlc.ildoctors or companies. Many of these bills, pictures and lnbels are there fore worthless, and must be destroyed at a loss of thousands of dollars. PLANS TO EVADE THE LAW. Already ingenious plnns to evado or gkss over the law have been put Into effect. Sonx- of tho medicines aro packed In boxes healing Information that they "have received tho approval of tho sec retary of agriculture," under tho new law In some cases this stntomnni i based on no other authority than the juci mat me manuiacturers havo receiv ed a letter from the department of aKr. cultuie naying that tho formula of t.i, medicine has been received, and thnt It, (the lormuht, not the jnedlclnu), seem to comply with the piovlslons of the law. SHOULD HE NO IMI'l'R'R ARTICLES Most of tho Ilurllngton dealers, whoso goods aro affected by thu new law jlro claim It as a law which will havo far- reaching effects for good, " E, lVrklns Hinted yisteulay lhat he considered the law a long step toward tint time when a law will l,e passed fnihldldng anybody to manufacture goods which urn not puie. "As It stands now," he said, "a nmii may manufacture all thn Impure, goods ho wishes to, providing he compiles with the pure-food law regarding tho labels There should bo a law to forbid him to manufacture nn Impure article."

The trial lasted ten days nnd Judge Mothers has just handed down the opin ion. He holds that defendants, Iluell and Powell were Induced to mak tho pur chase by the false statements of drfend-ar-t.i that they relied upon "lse state ments and suffered loss; that tho land was worth at the time of tne purchase last June all that plaintiffs paid for It and that the enhanced value sltuo that time cannot be taken in reduction of damages but was simply what plaintiffs were en titled to as a result of the deal: that the plaintiffs were entitled to the value of the tract If It hart been a? the defendants represented .and Intact, and measures the damage at Jll.COl.tO.

The apportionment of damages between tlf plaintiffs wll! not be 1'innlly made until counsel have time to look up testimony and argue that question. The land purchased was syndlcatrd In Burlington and the plaintiffs formed a part of the syndicate, Tho land taken out was not the choice selections through out the tract so as to leave 'Vull" but was In the noun part nearer the railroad.
