Coop FOR Our Own COUNTRY
A workman recently purchased in a
small provincial town in Germany,
ten pounds of powdered sugar, but
on examining it he found that the
grocer had mixed with it at least a
pound of lime. On the following day
he advertised in the public prints
'should the grocer who sold me a
pound of lime along with nine pounds
of sugar, not bring to me the pound
of sugar he cheated me of, | shall
forthwith disclose his name in the
papers," The next day the work
man received nine pounds of sugar
from different grocers who had SINH
lar actions on their consciencies, and
feared publicity.
