The campaign for pure food stuns
waged by the Minnesota Dairy and
Food Commission is being followed
by great interest, not only by all
reputable dealers who desire to keep
their stocks clean, but by the consum-
ers who desire to get the goods that
they pay for when they order supplies
Unfortunately the state laws cannot
reach the outside mail order houses
who ship in the impure goods, but the
consumer can be on the lookout to re-
fuse such goods that: have been found
to be adulterated by the analysis of
the states chemists Commissioner
Slater sends Bulletin No Is, dated
