U. S. Department of
Agriculture Establishes
Food Inspection Service
The food products inspection ser
vice established by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture under the au
thority of the Food Production act
was made available November 1 to
shippers of fruits and vegetables in
two large markets —New York and
Chicago.
It will be extended in the next few
weeks to Kansas City, Boston, Phila
delphia, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Kert
Worth, Houston and other markets.
The supervising inspectors in the first
two districts, now are. training in
spectors for the work and are prepar
ing to receive applications for in
spections.
It is thought likely that for some
time inspections will be made mostly
of cars of produce concerning the con
dition of which there Is some dis
pute. Applications must be made by
the shipper or his authorized agent,
and may be made by telegraph, tele
phone, letter or in person. Applica
tions must contain a complete descrip
tion of the shipment, including the
I name and address of the shipper and
receiver, car number, initials and
routing, contents and the particular
I condition concerning which Inspec
tion is requested.
Inspectors will certify as to the
condition of fruits and vegetables
only. No charge will be made for the
service. An inspection certificate will
be issued regarding each car or lot in
spected and the original delivered or
mailed to the shipper or his represen
tative. Upon request of the shipper
or his representative all or part of the
contents of the inspection certificate
will be telegraphed to him at his ex
pense.
The Food Production act 6f August
10, 1917, authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to investigate and cer
tify to shippers the condition as to
soundness of fruits, vegetables and
other food products, when received at
important central markets designated
by the secretary, under rules and
regulations prescribed by him. These
certificates are to be prima facie evi
dence in all courts of the truth of the
statements they contain.
The chief of the bureau of markets
of the department Is charged with the
establishment and supervision of this
service. For convenience in adminis
tration the important central markets
designated by the secretary have been
divided into six divisions or districts,
with a supervising Inspector respon
sible for each division.

Thus far only one or two contracts

made on them. In a number of in

ities have favorably commented upon
the plan for separate contracts with
a view to facilitating work.
Something like twenty-six counties
have agreed to co-operate with the
state in road work on a "fifty-fifty"

If you want to get relief from ca

irritating cough in the shortest time
breathe Hyomei.
It will clean out your head in two
minutes and allow you to breathe
freely.
Hyomei will end a cold in one clay,
it will relieve you of disgusting nuf
lles, hawking, spitting and offensive
breath In a week.
Hyomei is made chiefly from a
soothing, healing, germ killing anti
septic, that comes from the eucalyp
sls forests of Inland Australia where
catarrh, asthma and consumption
were never known to exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe. Just pour a few drops into
the hard rubber inhaler, use as di
rected and relief is almost certain.
A complete Hyomei outfit, includ
ing Inhaler and one bottle of Hyo
mei, costs but little at druggists

you already own an Inhaler you can
