Trouble is brewing for jobbers and
wholesale dealers of food and drug
products under the construction
placed upon the pure food and drugs

Under the law the manufacturer of
a particular line of food or drug
products may obtain from -the de-
partment a guaranty of the purity or
wholesomeness of products. To the
manufacturer whose products have
been passed upon by officials of the
department of agriculture, a serial
number is issued as an identification
of the products inspected and found
to be manufactured and labeled in
accordance with” the law. Until re-
cently it was supposed that this
guaranty would hold good through-
out the distribution and sale of the
products, but the department of ag-
riculture holds that it does not.
Pending decision by the various
courts on the legality of the 2-cent
passenger rates, the railroads will

to this class at half rates, averaging
less than 1V* cents a mile in states
where the legal maximum is 3 cents
a mile. In states which have 2-cent
laws clergymen ^id others will be
required to bay the full rate for all
interstate journeys, but will be
granted half rates if the roads have
not been forced, to reduce the inter-
state rates through applications of
the 2-cent law.,
