An Open Letter
To The Public.

A strong effort is being made
to prevent the passage of House
Bill No. II, introduced by Mr..
Sweet, the same being a bill for
an act to prevent the adulteratlon
of drugs or medicines. The
state is being flooded with cir
cular letters and kilograms in an
effort to try and defeat the en-
actment of this bill into a law.
The opposition seems to come
principally from manufacturers
of patent medicines and liquor
dealers. They have succeeded
in frightening many honest drug
gists into believing that the bill
is a dangerous one.
Let us analyze the statements
made in. opposition to the bill,
and they summarize themselves
under four heads.
First. 1t is claimed that the
formula of all patent medicines
and proprietary products would
have to be given and so enable
druggists to prepare these pro-
ducts and ruin the business of
the manufacturers.
Second. They state that it
would stop all advertising by
patent medicine manufacturers
in the local papers of the state.
Third. They claim if the bill
passes it will be impossible for
the people to secure the common
home remedies from their local
druggist.
Fourth. The passage of this
bill would ruin: the druggists of
the state and drive many of them
out of business.
Let us go a step farther and
see if these statements are cor
rect.
First. The bill does not re-
quire the publishing of formula.
Such a thing is not intended. All
it requires is that where a medi-
cine or product contains choral
hydrate, ergot, morphine or
opium, or their derivatives, CO.
caine or it's salts, bromides,
iodides or their salts, or ethyl
alcohol in greater quantity than
5 per cent, the name of the con-
stituents above mentioned shall
be clearly shown on the label to-
gether with the per cent. In
order that there may be no mis-
understanding on this point /
have suggested to the introducer
of this bill that a slight change
be made so as to prevent any
possible misconception. The
clause will then read: "Shall be
clearly labeled in black open
Gothic letters printed on a white
background, showing the true
name and per cent. of each of the
foregoing constituents" Thus
inserting the word "foregoing.'
Second. That the manufac-
turers would withdraw from the
state and stop advertising was
claimed by those opposed to the
pure food law, but have they
done this? Not at all. Every
man who found his goods to com.
ply with the law or could get
them to comply with the law has
pushed them all the stronger and
makes a great deal of the fact
that they are in compliance with
the law. The patent medicine
men will do exactly the same
thing.
It would be a good thing, in my
5 judgement, if some of the glar:
!, ing frauds could be driven from
the state, and I sincerely hope
5 that if the bill be enacted into q
law it will make these products
t less plentiful. It will probably
3 unmask some Of the ''bitters'

WHEAT

The market for Wheat has Deeom6
more interesting again by reasons Of
its wide huctuations. Not only is there
q better tone to the market, but talk OF
poor demands for Wheat n Flour and
large receipts OF Wheat at primary
points has disappeared, and attention
Is now being directed to, the news that
carries with it unmistakable evidence
that the shortage in the last crop was
not overestimateR Foreign markets
also are advancing and getting in line
with general opinion that the akin
up Of the absence of United states,
Canadian, Australian and possibly
further Russian shipments cannot be
accomplished without a material rise
in prices.
Here at home we have a strong set
Of conditions that are coming in force
to overn prices. Dealers in Flour
have been prevented from accumu!at-
ing supplies by high prices, but, they
must soon come in n replen1sh
stocks. Every advance has had back
of it reference to a scarcity OF Wheat,
and until such time as these conditions
change 1t is going to be safe to follow
ket is; gaining natural strength, n
would hold some Wheat for a perma-
nent bull campaign when it appears
that country elevators are cleaned up
and the run of receipts practically over
for the year., as is the case at the pres
ant time.

SALES! SALES!
AUCTION SALES!
I want your sales and intend to
get them if I can in an honest
and upright way, but will not
try to get them by criticising the
ability of a competitor, especially
of those of whom I have never
heard cry a sale. Write or phone
me for dates. Yours for bust
ness, N. A. Couron, Hope, N. D.
The following is one among
many of my recommendations:
Armour IS. D. Herald.-Our
auction sale held in Grand View
township on February 18th was
an unqualified success, and we
were more than satisfied with
the efforts of Mr.. N. A. Couron
as auctioneer. The sale occurred
on one of the coldest days of the
winter, but we had thoroughly
advertised, which brought out a
large crowd, and Mr.. Couron did
the rest. The sale was nearly
$4,000 and the whole business
was closed up in less than three
hours. We can heartily recon-
mend Mr.. Couron as a f~rst-class
auctioneer, and if we were to
have another sale he would GER
tainly get the job.
