STATE INDUSTRY THREATENED Sulfphured Fruit and Its Relation to the National Pure Food Law The people of no state in the union were more zealous advocates of a national pure food law than were the people of California. Adulteration of food products in other states suggested the need of statutory regulations in the interest of life and health and as a protection to manufacturers of pure food products. Therefore, gratification and general approval were expressed on the part of producers in this state, when congress on June 30, 1906, passed the "National Food and Drugs Act." One of the principal features of the Act was to prevent the manufacture or sale of adulterated or deleterious food products, and it prescribed the method under which adulterated foods and drugs might be sold. How comprehensively the term "deleterious foods" was to be interpreted, how a determination was to be made in respect to them, and the status of manufacturers and producers pending a determination were matters too remote for immediate consideration, and excited little interest. Later as the law was put in operation and its scope was brought to their attention, manufacturers and distributors of food products were much exercised over the particular features of the law which affected their business. Under the Act, three cabinet officers were charged with the duty of making rules and regulations for carrying out its provisions, the specific terms being set forth as follows: 13, 1907, "Food Inspection Act" 76." This decision was deemed in its terms and made a large part of the fruit dried in, and not from this state, contraband use law. The label of each package of rated foods, or of foods co-sodium benzoate or benzoic acid bear a statement that the food served with sulphur dioxide, sodium benzoate, or benzoic acid may be, and the law not bear a serial number assuring any guaranty filed with the department of agriculture nor any state that the article is guaranteed by form to the food and drugs act. It is well known that sulphur most universally used in this drying peaches, apricots and pears to quite an extent in drying apples. It is admitted that when dried, in its raw state, co-sodium benzoate produced by the fumes of bursenphur, than 350 milligrams per gram, or an equivalent of one-thousandths of one per cent experience has shown that the urea phur is a necessity, in order to dried fruit of the color and required for consumption in a market. It has also demonstrated the unit fixed by ruling 76 would not keep for storage shipment to distant markets, until it be dried without serious decay during the drying process large part of the dried fruit this state did not come within prescribed in Decision 76 therefore contraband, subjecture and confiscation as unwarranted and deleterious product. The provided that "pending investigation of conditions attending production manufacture and the effects on..." as the law was put in operation and its scope was brought to their attention, manufacturers and distributors of food products were much exercised over the particular features of the law which affected their business. Under the Act, three cabinet officers were charged with the duty of making rules and regulations for carrying out its provisions, the specific terms being set forth as follows: "Section 3. That the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of agriculture and secretary of commerce and labor, shall make uniform rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of this act, including the collection and examination of specimens of foods and drugs manufactured or offered for sale in the District of Columbia, or in any territory of the United States, or which shall be offered for sale in unbroken packages in any state other than that in which they shall have been respectively manufactured or produced, or which shall be received from any foreign country, or intended for shipment to any foreign country. "Sec. 4. That the examinations of specimens of foods and drugs shall be made in the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, or under the direction and supervision of such bureau, for the purpose of determining from such examinations whether such articles are adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of this act." The bureau of chemistry by this act is made the agency for examination of products and the head of that branch of the department therefore occupies a position of much importance. The point of safety seemed to be, that it rested with the secretary of agriculture, jointly with the secretaries of the treasury and commerce and labor, to promulgate rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of this act. "Sec. 7. That for the purpose of this act an article shall be deemed to be adulterated * * * In the case of food: "If it contain any added poisonous or other added deleterious ingredient which may render such article injurious to health: Provided, That when in the preparation of food products for shipment they are preserved by any external application applied in such it be dried without serious decay during the drying process large part of the dried fruit this state did not come within prescribed in Decision 76 therefore contraband, subject to confiscation as unwarranted and deleterious product.

This provision did not furnish assurance of safety, for that the time of immunity granted indefinite and very uncertain. Strong representation was Secretary Wilson setting forthible manner the disastrous effect 76 would have from this feature as to time, on the fruiting of the state. The business of packing and distributing fruits 1907 went forward without misruption. At the beginning of 1908 due by reason of limitation as to duration for the previous year, was as a part of the rules and reforcethe enforcement of the "Drugs Act." Uncertainty about future policy of the Department the apparent attitude of how the part of the Bureau of Chemistry charge of Dr. W. H. Wiley, exprehension, caused a stagnant fruit industry in the state, a further effort on behalf of growers distributors necessary. During the season of 1907 law had been expended by the Bureau of Chemistry, under direction of agricultural Department, in one samples of fruit cured by use oi in studying the processes of nature, in making scientific testing information on what department might be able to maintain safety unit of sulphur in fruit, and thus restore control the fruit industry. It was when the Bureau of Chemistry its investigations in California findings would be made public the Department, and that it and distributors from the k thus gained, could act in futu "Sec. 7. That for the purpose of this act an article shall be deemed to be adulterated * * In the case of food: “If it contain any added poisonous or other added deleterious ingredient which may render such article injurious to health: Provided, That when in the preparation of food products for shipment they are preserved by any external application applied in such manner that the preservative is necessarily removed mechanically, or by maceration in water, or otherwise, and directions for the removal of said preservative shall be printed on the covering or the package, the provisions of this act shall be construed as applying only when said products are ready for consumption.” The Regulations.—No special concern on the part of those interested in fruit was felt, as to the effect of the law as expressed in the act. It was not until the “Board of Food and Drug Inspection” suggested, and the secretary of agriculture promulgated, on July The effect of malaria lasts a long time.

The unit fixed by Decision 76, was in their opinion and in the opinion of distributors, prohibitive.—Arthur R. Briggs, President California State Board of Trade. An Honorable Record San Juan Capistrano, June 24.—After thirty-nine years of service as clerk of the school board of the San Juan school district, Richard Egan is to withdraw that he may take a trip east. Judge Egan has been a school trustee longer than any other man in California. Ever since he arrived here he has been one of the notable figures of Southern California. Since the death of Don Marco Forster, he has been the sole don, father, legal and business advisor and warm, personal friend of every man woman.

Representation was made to Wilson setting forth in force for the disastrous effect decided have from this indefinite time, on the fruit interest. The business of drying, and distributing fruit during forward without much interruption. Beginning of 1908 decision 76, of limitation as to qualification previous year, was in force of the rules and regulations enforcement of the "Food and Drug." Uncertainty as to the policy of the Department and sent attitude of hostility on the Bureau of Chemistry, in Dr. W. H. Wiley, excited ap- plication, caused a stagnation in the industry in the state, and made short on behalf of growers and its necessary.

It was presumed Bureau of Chemistry began operations in California that the would be made public, through treatment, and that producers butors from the knowledge could act in future with is to withdraw that he may take a trip east. Judge Egan has been a school trustee longer than any other man in California. Ever since he arrived here he has been one of the notable figures of Southern California. Since the death of Don Marco Forster, he has been the sole don, father, legal and business advisor and warm, personal friend of every man, woman and child in San Juan Capistrano, and people here hope his stay in the east will not be long. A great many years ago—to be more exact, in 1869—the San Juan school district was formed of the southern end of Los Angeles county. Schools were far apart in that early day. Toward Los Angeles was the Anaheim school and none nearer. There was no Santa Ana then, but there was a Santa Ana school district, with the schoolhouse situated up the Santa Ana river near where Yorba is now. South from San Juan Capistrano there were but one or two schools until San Diego was reached. So thirty-nine years ago the San Juan school was started in the building that is still used for the grammar room. The first board of trustees had as its clerk Richard Egan; and ever since has Judge Egan been clerk of the board. Last April he was re-elected for his fortieth term. But business has called him east for an indefinite time and he has refused to serve longer. He is of the opinion that thirty-nine years of continuous service entitles him to retirement. It is probable that he has been a school trustee longer than any other man in California.—Santa Ana Register.

Cloud Pictures BY LELLA MAUD LESLIE A changing sea is the western sky, Of purple and rose and gold, With masses of clouds piled mountain high In a glory of flame uproiled, And crest on crest with their crowns of fire; The colors glow and gleam, And fade and shift and softly drift. As leaves on a summer stream. Castles of cloud, with turret and stair, And bridges Titanic span Chasms and gulfs, while towers fair, Unmarred by the touch of man, Uplift their heads of foam and snow, With pennants flying free. And mermaids there with golden hair Rise from a cloudland sea. A forest grows from the opal sea, But the magic colors pale; The beauty fades from tower and tree, From cliff and crag and vale; And twilight flings the cloak of night Above the hills and streams: The Spirit of Light has winged her flight To the land of mystic dreams. IF LOVE ABIDE O, what care I, when raging tempests blowing Around my bark, And lightnings flame and flash! I sail on, knowing That through the dark, Into the harbor home I safely glide, If Love abide. O, what care I, that winter snows are falling Upon my hair. And loud I hear the voice of sorrow calling, And carking care! I heedless go my way in happy pride. If Love abide. Does your Checking Account Pay Interest?
