Committee Orders Favorable Report on Milk Measure Bill Would Prohibit Move ment in Interstate Com merce of Lacteal Fluid Mixed With Oils. By GEdftGE F. AUTHIKR, Frelilacton ('oemmidfiii The Omaha Bee. Washington. Jan. 4. — (Special.) — Favorable report on tlie Vogt anti filled milk Mil has been ordered by the senate Committee on agrlcu.ture and forestry. The purpose of the bill Is to protect the public health by forbiuding the movement in interstate and foreign commerce Of compounds of skim milk and vegetable oil made in the sem blance of milk. It passed the lower house in May, 1922, hy a vote of 2iO to 40. It has been pending, in the senate commit tee on agriculture since that time. The committee adopted tha report and two amendments proposed by Senator E. F. Ladd of North Dakota, a member of the subcommittee. One of these amendments clarifies the bill without changing its purpose by saying that "'filled milk, as herein defined 1» an adulterated article of food, .injurious to the public health, and its sale constitutes a fraud upon the public.'* The other amendment provides for an exception to the bill in the case of proprietary food compounds de signed exclusively for infant feeding and customarily used on the order of a physician. It limits the shipment in Interstate commerce of the except ed compounds to physicians, whole sale and retail druggists, orphan asylums, hospitals and similar lnstl • tutlons. The report that says “your com mittee does mot doubt that the sale of filled milk as at present carried on is a violation if not of the letter, of the spirit, of the pure food and drugs act." It points out that investigation.! conducted in many large cities “rev vealed that dealers were selling the compound as being as good and better than regular evaporated milk.” Referring to bulk shipments, the committee points out that some hotels and restaurants and ice cream makers are using filled mlik Instead of genuine milk and for that reason “the customer has no means of know ing what he is getting and a label could not protect against fraud in such a case.” Moonshiner Who Shot Pal Nabbed by Posse Sioux City.

Expert Gives Advice on Winter Care of Battery “When winter comes—there are sev eral good things that motorists should do to help out their batteries," said D. T. Swaini, local representative of the Electric Storage Battery company, manufacturers of the Exide battery. "Be sure the battery is in good con dltion. that the specific gravity of the electrolyte is at 1,230. If the gravity is low the battery will freeze. "If the battery doesn't start the engine, get out and see that you are getting gas and spark. Put lighter oil in the car, thus making the en gine easier to start. "It is a good idea to pour hot wa ter on the manifold and over the carburetor when you start the car for I ho first time on a cold day to loosen up the stlffnesp a liftle." I-- , ■ - ... -- , .

Trade Bodies Hit Hard by Federal Court Decision Judge Knox Signs Final De cree in Government's Case Against Gypsum Indus tries Association. New York, Jan. 4.—Federal Judge Knox signed a final decree In the government's ease against the Gyp sum Industries association, setting forth a code of principles bv which trade associations will be governed under the Sherman anti trust law' and stipulating what they are prohibited from doing. Both the government and the attor neys for the Gypsum Industries asso ciations consented, and the order was ! filed as a formal decree of tho fed-1 eral district court. * Explaining the terms of the decree. United States Attorney llayward said: "The method devised is unique in the respect that it practically de stroys the trade association and Its regular weekly or monthly meetings at which opportunities were afford ed. as tho government contended, for j epen or illicit price fixing by the group, for arrangements for tlie cur tailment and limitation of production and for defining and devising the many other abuses that have resulted from such trade association meetings. •'in the place of the trade associa tion, the decree substitutes a non profit making corporation for the joint welfare of the members, with powers limited expressly by the de cree and by its charter of articles of incorporation to certain well-defined and concededly lawful activities.” Beatrice Teacher Resigns Beatrice, Neb., Jan. 4.—(Special.)— Miss Flora Crumley, teacher in Cen tral school, has resigned on account of ill health.

High Court Hears Ship Licjuor Case Attorney for Foreign Ships Argues Daugherty Ruling Would Legalize Seizure. Washington, Jan. 4.—The 10 cases brought by foreign steamship com panies. Hint the two brought by Amer ican operators to contest the construc tion placed by .Attorney General Daugherty upon the prohibition amendment and enforcement act were up for oral argument in the supreme court today. Under the ruling foreign ships will he prohibited from entering American waters with Intoxicating liquors In their sea stores and American ships will bo prohibited from having such liquor aboard at any place. The case came before the court on appeal from a decision by Federal Judge Hand in New York, upholding' the attorney general. , The argument will continue tomor row with a notable array of counsel, including former Attorney General Wicksham for the foreign steamship companies. Reid D. C'arr/ George A. Ellis and Frederick H. Stokes for the United American Dines and John M. WoolsoV. ('Ictus Keating, ,f. Parker Kerim and Ira A. Campbell for the International Mercantile Marine com pany. The government is represented by Solicitor General Beck, Assistant At torney General Mabel IV. WiUebrnndt and Special Assistant Wheat. Expressing the belief "that the use of liquor did more than any other one thing to debauch and degrade our manhood and womanhood," the gov ernment attorneys insist that it was , the purpose of the prohibition amend- : ment to make the United States abso lutely dry. They also argue that this has been recognized by the supreme court, in recent decisions under which foreign vessels were prohibited from transshipping intoxicating liquor in American ports, and foreign liquor shipments in bond were forbidden across United States territory. Counsel on both sides admit that congress can prohibit foreign steam ships from bringing Intoxicating liquor into American ports, but Mr. Wickersham asserts that, had con gress intended to bar liquor from the sea stores of foreign vessels, it would have been explicit to that effect as it ! was in excluding smoking opium. The construction urged by the gov- , eminent, if enforced, he contends, i would result in the search of all for- I eign ships upon reaching American ports and the confiscation of those , vessels upon which intoxicating liquor was found. It would also, he argued, oblige the government to stop the sup ply of wines anil liquors to the for eign embassies in this country and foreign ships forced into American ports would bo forfeited if liquor was found aboard.
