Many shippers charged by the Gov. ( ornment with the interstate shipmentj of adulterated and misbranded foods! and drugs have been fined various j sums, according to a recent issue of; the Service and Regulatory Announce inents of the Bureau of Chemistry. Beverages?-intoxicating and otherwise?stock feed, patent medicines for which the manufacturers claimed unwarranted curative properties, mi!k,j vinegar and butter are included in thej list of articles which were alleged to j i be misbranded or adulterated within the meaning of the Rood and Drugs Act. "Nonintoxicaiing" Beverages Coni>tin<>d Ahxthol. The Temperance Beverage Co., of Chicago, III., was charged with the shipment in interstate commerce of| "Improved Cream of Hops" and "Hoi) Tonic," which were misbrandod- The former was labeled "A Nonintoxicating Beer, Refreshing, Invigoroating. Improved Cream of Hops, The Great Health Drink. * * *" The "Hop Tonic" was labeled "A Nonintoxicating Temperance Beer Hop Tonic. * * *" Analyses of these two drinks showed each to contain over per cent alcohol, thus rendering them intoxicating. The defendant company in this case pleaded guilty, and tiie court imposed a fine of $200 and costs. Stock Feeds Not Truthfully Labeled. A quantity of stock feed, shipped in interstate commerce by James Emison and Scott Emison, members of the partnership of J. and S. Emison & Co., Vincenries, Ind., was alleged to be misbranded for the reason that the product was labeled "Crude Protein 12 Per Cent" and "Crude Fat 5 Per Cent," when, as a matter of fact, it contained a lower percentage of these substances. The labels also con tainovl the statement that the product was "compounded from the following ingredients: corn, oats, alfalfa meal, grain screenings and moiasses. Anoth er ingredient, malted barley, had been added and was not declared on the label. In this case the court imposed ix fine of $200 and costs. A fine of $100 and costs was impos ed against Darling & Co., Chicago, 111., for shipping in interstate commerce a product known as "Darling's Digester Tankage for Flogs," which was misbrunded. The statment on the tags attached to the bags in which this article was shipped, "Five Per Cent Crude Fat," and the statement! "Fat Five Per Cent" on the bags, were objected to as being false and misleading, as the product contained a much less amount of fat or crude .fat than was claimed. Misbranding was also alleged for the reason that the statements Sixty Per Cent Crude Protein" on the labels, and "Protein Sixty Per Cent" on the bags were false and misleading, as the article did not contain this percentage of protein or crude protein. The Appache Cotton Oil & Manufacturing Co., Chickasha, Oklu., were charged with misbranding an inter state shipment of cottonseed meal and cottonseed cake. The cottonseed meal was labeled to contain crude protein 41 per cent, crude fat 7 1-2 per cent, crude fiber 9 per cent, but analysis of the product showed that it contained less crude protein and crudefat, and more crude fiber, than stated Oil the label. The cottonseed cake. according to the label, contained ammonia 7 J -2 per cent to 8 1-2 per cent; crude protein 41 per cent; crude fat 1 J-2 per cent; crude fiber 9 per cent; but, a.s a matter of fact, it was shown that the cottonseed cake was of an inferior grade, and that the percentage of ammonia, crude protein, and crude fat was lower, and the percentage of crude fiber higher, than stated on the labels. A fine of $50 was imposed by the court in this case. Fraudulent Claims for Patent Medicine. The misbranding of a quantity of Dr. R S.

MEDICAL COLLEGE \ TARES STRAY DOG? | Unredeemed Canines Will Be j& Put to Use of Re- ? search. .. ik (Evening Post.) ^ 19 A new route into eternity has been *$1 established for. the vagrant canines of W Charleston and instead of, as in the t ftfj past, being executed with a rifle bullet, when unclaimed by owners after ^ three days of grace, dogs picked up by the dog catcher will be devoted to JS; the uses of medical science. Form^ly 3? it was the custom to place the canines Si BR in a pound of three cages at the foot " of Calhoun street. On their first day of captivity, the dogs were penned in || cage No. 1 and spent their time In yelping, fighting, eating and sleeping. After 24 hours they were transferred / to cage No. 2, and, perhaps impressed * with the usual trend of events, fbe^ jgan to look wistfully through the bars 1 of the cage at all who visited thf*^A 1 pound. On the third day they ! placed in the death cell, cage ^ : Here fffr 24 hours they awaitee^ VH fading hopes the coming of a B who in a majority of instances showed up. All dogs unredeemed v | ter 72 hours of captivity died facing f I : the firing squad. .. . j But now ;t is ditferent. Beginning I J last Monday when the dog catcher ^ J made the first rounds of the season, ' the canines were sent to the Medical 1 I College, where already about 25 have ' \ i been assembled. At present they are I j lodged in a special kennel and cared I j for by the janitors of the college,>hut ! the authorities are planning to build : a large and up-to-date pound near the i West Point mill. Their purpose is to use all unclaimed canines for research work. , Instead of being shot after 72 hours of captivity the dogs will be used to test the effects of certain drugs ort their systems, under observations made by students. When there more unredeemed dogs on hand than the college can use, the canines will be given ether. Development of the plana may ultimately include a study of rabies, which comes under the head of research work. 1 The charge of $1.50 made for those dogs redeemed will be retained hy the college for helping to feed and oiire I for the less lucky canines. A dog can be redeemed from the pound on payment of $1.50 only after a license is presented at the oilicc of the Medical College. The iicense costs $1. Dog i owners who care anything about their pets will not neglect to have a license which is obtained from the city treasurer, but the danger to licensed <lJ^? lies in allowing them to run at large unmuzzled on the streets. o Had False Beard.
