Pacific New3 Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Increased
vigilance on the part of officials in
charge of enforcement of the Food*
and Drugs Act is required by condi
tions brought about by the European
war to prevent shipment into the Un
ited States of adulterated and mis
branded food and drugs. Bureau of
Chemistry officials say that while the
volume of imported foods and drugs
has decreased since the outbreak of
the war, the variety of grades has
increased. Likewise the number of
shipments in proportion to the quan
tity is larger, for tt is now necessary
for Importers to get from many sources
tt i supplies which previously could
be obtained from one place.
The high prices prevailing for cer
tain products which can be obtained
’ only from abroad, particularly spices
| and crude drugs, has increased the
I temptation to adulterate. Shipments
■ of coriander, fennel, celery, anise,
cumin, Chinese and Indian mustard,
| ctnna leaves, cinshona, impcca and
' other products were found to be adul
| tcrated and were denied entry Into
this , country. Many shipments of
mtdicincs were found to be misbrand
ed tlie labels containing false or
fraudulent claims a3 to the curative
p< wers, and such shipments were
detained until the inUbranding was
cm recUed. Among other articles of
food found to be In violation of the 1
law may be mentioned decomposed '
P>ma‘.oe pastes and products, spoiled,
soy beans, wormy olives, olive oil, 1
pepper, macaroni, and beverages.1
Special attention was given to milk
imported from Canada. There was a
marked improvement In the whole
soomene3s of this milk during the
year owing to the exclusion of ship
ments of contaminated milk produced
under insanitary conditions.
Branch laboratories are maintained
!•> the bureau at the principal ports
of entry, such as San Francisco, Seat
tle, New York, Boston, and many
others, in order that analysis may be
made of samples of such shipments
of food and drugs offered for entry
into this country as are suspected of
being adulterated or misbranded.

Pacific Newt Servioe, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The bill to

digent tuberculous persons. Introduc
ed during the last session of Congress
by ltepreentative William Kent, of
California, and for which the Associ

lliulth Service. House leaders now
are unitedly in favor of pushing the
measure through without objection, it
is said.

pa t son’s care in a designated hospi
tal or sanitarium.

To have the pains and achas of a
bad back removed—to be entlrsly free
from anuoylng dangerous urinary dis
orders, is enough to make any kid
ney sufferer grateful. The following
advice of one who has suffered will
prove helpful to Nugget readers.
Mrs. O. Q. Fosdick, 6014 S. Law
rence St., Tacoma, Wash., says: “My
back was so sore and painful that it
1 wanted to take up anything from
the floor, 1 had to get down on my
knees. There was a lump about the
size of a dollar over euch of my kid
neys and this made my back so ten
der and sore than i could hardly bear
to have my clothes touch me. At
night 1 could scarcely turn in bed
and mornings was so lame and sore
that I could hardly get around. These
troubles were brought on by a cold
settling In my kidneys. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cured me."
