under which he can make Intelligent
selection of food.

Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State leg
islatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has the
right to fix food Standards" to define
what the people shall and shall not eat,
for what agrees with one may not
agree with another, and such act would
deprive the common citizen of his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co, Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
of prepared foods in the world, have
naturally a close knowledge of the
needs of the people and the details Of
the business of the purveyors (the re-
tail grocer), and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submits
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as citizen of the U. S. has a
right to food protection even when he
enters another State, it is deemed
proper that the govt take control Of
this matter and provide a national
law to govern all the states. A copy
OF the bill is herewith reproduced
Sec. 1 governs the maker whether
the food is put up in small packages
sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into paper bag he must also
inclose a printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee of his selling the food as it
is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of it's
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food truthful and exact state
ment of what the contents were made
of in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy, for
instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing to pay the price has right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost, but a further right to certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be will
ing to buy at less cost a jelly made
part of fruit juices, sugar and por-
ton of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful information of the
ingredients and be permitted to use

FIREPLACE FIXINGS
AND QUAINT NOTICES

The varieties of fireplace furnish
course, a necessity if fuel is to be
burned. In addition there must be
the shovel, tongs and poker, with
some sort of a holder, the fender, bel
lows and either a wood box or a coal
scuttle. All of the fire irons may be
made of brass from the colonial de-
/ signs, the steeple top, the ball, the
flame, ETC., either antique or copies,
or they may be of some of the new
designs in green bronze, wrought iron
j or dull brass. The green bronze ana
the wrought iron are especially adapt
ed to the rough stone fireplaces. the
colonial designs speak for themselves
as to their particular adaptability.

I.l20 acres of which are held un- der United States patent, it is the center of grazing district unsurpassed in the southwest, covering the William son. Mint. Walnut Creek and Tonto Springs valleys, with the intervening divides. including almost every variety of landscape, the well timhcrcd see tious affording good winter shelter and feed for stock with running water at al seasons of the year within easy reach.
