MOTHERS DEMAND
PURE FOOD LAWS

lNAUGURATED
RECOMMEND STUDY COURSE
Club Women Throughout California
Are Engaged In Fight Against
AduIteratlon of Food, Drink
or Drugs

Pure food at all costs" This is the
slogan of the California Congress of
Mothers and Child Study circles. The
first definite steps for the inauguration
of crusade against adulterated foods
was begun Wednesday when the circles
met in Olivet Congregational church
at the invitation of the Washington
Street school circle.
Mrs. +. B. Prior suggested that a
resolution be passed commencing the
council of Los Angeles and executives
city health officer, city chemist and
city bacteriologist for their activity in
inspection and analysis of food, drinks
and drugs in the interest Of health.
The resolution was passed and a re-
quest sent to the council asking that
some definite way in which the study
circles may assist be suggested to
them.
During the coming year there will be
one or more courses of study in each
school devoted to the subject of pure
food. The California Federation OF
Women's clubs has taken up the sub
iect and it will be presented before
each of the fifty-five clubs of the Los
Angeles district.
Rev. Dr. Hugh X. Walker addressed
the congress Wednesday, taking for his
subject value of a Child Study Circle
in the Church
"The day of the old-fashioned mother
is past and the new-fashloned mother
is not yet here said DR.. Walker. 1--WE
are at present in transitory period
The old-fashioned mother is so rare
that she should be put in a glass case
as an example. The change in educa-
tional facilities has been SO great that
the new-fashioned mother has not yet
had chance to learn ALL and a child
study circle in the church would reach
great many mothers. The new
methods have not yet reached the
homes, and that is what is needed"
