Good Health VS.. Bad Roads.

The new food law, which prohibits
the sale of alum baking powders, be-
slows a double advantage upon the
public. First, in protecting the peo-
pie from food which is dangerous to
health; second, N aiding to build and
pay for good roads throughout the
country. The penalty provided by the
law for selling an article of food con-
tanning alum is 800. each offence,
which goes tAWard the making and
maintenance good roads in the coun-
ty where the fine is collected.
For both these reasons all classes of
the community will do what they can
to aid in the enforcement of so good
law
