1.   What law placed controls on foods and medicines in the early 1900s? 
ki77a [65]
It would be the Pure food and Drug Act. The main purpose of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was to ban foreign and interstate traffic in adulterated or mislabeled food and drug products, it led to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Dawes Act of 1887 authorized the President of the United States to survey American Indian tribal land and divide it into allotments for individual Indians. Those who accepted allotments and lived separately from the tribe would be granted United States citizenship. There is no such thing as The Federal Medication Act or the Federal Drug Administration.

What impact did George Eastman’s new film-developing processes have on photography?
Tatiana [17]
After his education in the public schools of Rochester, New York, Eastman worked briefly for an insurance company and a bank. In 1880 he perfected a process of making dry plates for photography and organized the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company for their manufacture. The first Kodak (a name he coined) camera was placed on the market in 1888. It was a simple handheld box camera containing a 100-exposure roll of film that used paper negatives. Consumers sent the entire camera back to the manufacturer for developing, printing, and reloading when the film was used up; the company’s slogan was “You press the button, we do the rest.” In 1889 Eastman introduced roll film on a transparent base, which has remained the standard for film. In 1892 he reorganized the business as the Eastman Kodak Company. Eight years later he introduced the Brownie camera, which was intended for use by children and sold for one dollar. By 1927 Eastman Kodak had a virtual monopoly of the photographic industry in the United States, and it has continued to be one of the largest American companies in its field.
