Remember the Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district and if a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he secures very sure guide to duty. Remember also that the safety of the people is assured by insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for sell fish interests.
 This pure food legislation is pure movement of the people for public pro- tection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by de- ceiving and injuring the people. Therefore, if your Representative iii Congress evades his patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability and if ne- cessary demand equitable and honest service, This is very different condi- tion than when faction demands class legislation of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to kill the oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class leg islation really unworthy of free peo- ple. Work people wanted beef suet butter because 1t was cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation. The law should have provided that pkgs, of oleomar- garine bear the statement of ingredi- ents and then let peoplewho desire pur- chase 1t for just what 1t is, and not try to kill it by heavy tax. Manufacture CTS sometimes try to force measures in their own interests but contrary to the interests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary to the in- terest of the people as a whole. Wit ness the anti-injunction bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroy ing property. Such bill is perhaps the most infamous insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict ac- countabillty for their acts relating thereto, But when bills come before 1 Congress that are drawn in the interest of all the people they should receive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Seniors also should be written to and instructed. If therefore, you will remember your privilege and duty you will at once now-write to your congressman and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip and enclose the copy herewith present. ed and ask them to make business of following 1t through the committee considering it. Urge its being brought to vote and requesting that they vote for it.
 Some progressively intelligent and carping critic may say this is simply an advertisement for Postum and Grape Nuts. It is true that these arti- cles are spoken of here in public hammer, but they are used as illustra- tions of a manufactures seeking by ex- ample, printing on each pkg. truthful, exact statement of ingredients. to shame other makers into doing the fair thing by the common people, and es- tabllshing an era of pure food, but that procedure has not yet forced those who adulterate and deceive to change their methods, hence this effort to arouse public sentiment and show a way out of the present condition of fraud deceit and harm.
 The undersigned is paying to the publishers of America about $2000O.0O to print this announcement in practi- eally all of the great papers and mag azines, in the conduct of what he chooses to term, "an educational cams paign, "esteemed to be of greater di- rect value to the people than the estab- lishment of many libraries. That is held to be a worthy method of using money for the public good. Tell the people facts, show them a way to help themselves and rely upon them to aei intelligently and effectively.
