ASKED TO WORK FOR PURE FOOD BILL.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Much has been said much has been written.
of late on the subject OF the Pure Food bill. but
ono point has been overlooked. namely. the in
huence that could be welded by the women 8
clubs all over the country. While women are the
homekeepers OF the land. they are not always
watchful as to the quality of the food consumed
in their households Many food manufacturers
have taken advantage of this Indifference and the
result is that the markets are to-day flooded with
adulterated goods. The buyer Is unable TO tell
whether the goods she buys are pure or not.
With the passage of the Pure Food bill will
come truthful branding OF all manufactured foods
SO that every woman then tell whether or
not she Is feeding her family with adulterated
foods which II is estimated now costing the
public $50 10000 annually. is II not worth while
for the clubwomen OF this country 10 combine
and work for the passage of this bill? The
women need only 70 be reminded OF duty
do H. Prompt action Is now duty The
United States Senate may again take up the bill
this month Meantime. IL every woman would
write letter 10 the Senators at Washington, urg-
ing the passage Of the Pure Food bill. ts IL not
safe TO predict that IL would soon become a law!

THE MORNING sUMMoNs.

Ittfl NUftNINT SUMMUNS.
When the mist is the river and the haze is on
the hills,
And the promise OF the springtime all the ample
heaven fills;
When the shy things in the wood hsunts and the
hardy on the plains
Catch up heart and feel a leaping life through
winters sluggish veins;
Then the summons of the morning like buge
the blood.
Then the soul of man grows larger, like a flower
from the bud;
For the hope of high endeavor is cordial half
divine,
And the banner cry of Onward calls the laggards
into line.
There is glamour of the moonlight when the stars
rain peace below.
But the stir and smell OF morning is better thing
to know:
While the night is hushed and holden and trans
pierced by dreamy song.

of the strong.
