He will give practically his en- tire time to this work for the next two months,. The new pure food law also. will require attention, but he in- tends to leave this almost wholly to Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, By direction of the president Secre- tary Wilson has issued the following statement: “American live stock is the health- {est in the world. The great ranges of [lhe West produce herds of cattle in which the percentage of disease is re- markably small and the federal gov- '‘ernment is steadily reducing, by ap- proved scientific methods, this small percentage. The inspection of the animals before and at time of slaugh- ter has always been thorough. It is true that the department of agricul- ture has heretofore lacked the power and the money :to provide for an eifi- cient supervision of sanitation and the ' methods of preparation of canned |meat food prodects. Federal Stamp a Guarantee. “The legislation which has just be- ‘come effective provides the depart- ment of agriculture with an adequate law and with ample money to carry it into effect. ' Supervision and inspec- ition will be extended from the pasture | to the package. The federal stamp upon the can will be a guarantee not only of the healthfulness of the ani-| mal, but also that the product was ‘prepared in chemical or preservative. Any meat food product bearing the government stamp will be fit for food. “With this law in operation it may be accepted as a fact that for health- fulness and purity the prepared or canned product will compare favor- ably with the fresh meat of the United States, which is and always was the best in the world. “The new law is comprehensive, the means for its enforcement are ample and its execution will be.thorongh. People at home and abroad may use |3 our meats in confidence.” NEW MINISTER APPOINTED COLOMBIA DESIRES TO RESUME FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH UNITED STATES. ‘Washington, July 3.—Enrique Cor- tez has been named Colombian minis- (£ ter to the United States to succeed Diego Mendoza. = The state department has been ad- vised by American Minister Barrett at Bogota that the appointment of Mr. Cortez followed the initiation of pre liminary negotiations at Bogota look- ing toward the framing of treaties be- tween the United States and Colombia Intended to settle all disputes and Inaugurate & new era of friendly rela- tions. # CREDITORS BECOMING ANXIOUS.
