80 DISPOSED, TO discriminate against one

would be unjust, and all we wish y
that the food commissioners duty shall
be fully defined as the home manufac-
turer should receive the same treat
ment as those Who ship In from east

said they were willing TO eliminate the
clause.
The morning papers come out and
say that strenuous efforts were mace
to get the manufacturers before inc

TO appear. which Is ridiculous and en-
tirely uncalled for The justice OF our
position being apparent made II un-
necessary for our appearance, ana we
sincerely protest against such language
being used against the manufacturers
OF baking powder In the State OF Utah
for we claim and can demonstrate the
fact that the baking powders made N
this state are lust as healthful and
good deal purer than those that are
imported nnd sold az a higher price
and we are perfectly willing that the
senate ana house pass law demand
ing that an baking powders manutac-
tured IN Utah and also imported INTO
this state shall have their formulas
printed in large letters on the labels
but we do HEALTHY protest against
making the manufacturers I'm Utah so
label their goods and not milking the
imported baking powder manufacturers
print theirs.
In conclusion we cannot see why
baking powder manufacturers should
be singled out for attack In preference
to other manufacturers. Why not make
the law uniform and have all food pro-
duct manufacturers print their formula
so people can see what they are using

and out Of the 81 residents who con-
tracted the disease, 45 were males and
52 females. Ninety-slN were white and
one was cOlored. Eighty-eight Of these
were never yaccinated; vaccination
failed in three cases; and the remain-
ing six cases had been vaccinated, but
had long passed the period OF immun-
