NEW FOOD LAW

Remember the Congressman is in Con-
gross TO represent the people from his dis
trict and II q goodly number Of citizens
express their views TO him, he secures a
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 Vaccinations Of
the few for selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. IL will be opposed only by those
who fatten their pockets by deceiving
and iniuring the people. Therefore, il
your Representative in Congress evades
his patriotic duty hold him to strict ac-
countability and If necessary demand
equitable and honest service. This is very
different condition than when a faction
demands class legislation of the Congress
man. Several years ago the butter in
terests of the country demanded legisla-
tion to kill the oleomargarine industry
and by power of organization forced class
legislation really unworthy Of a free
people. Work people wanted beef suet
butter because il was cheap and better
than much unclean milk butter, but the
dairy interests organized and forced the
legislation. The law should have pro-
vided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear
the statement OF ingredients and then let
people who desire purchase il for just
what Il is and not try to kill II by q heavy
tax Manufacturers 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
interests of the people as a whole. Wit
ness the anti-iniunction 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 destroying property.
Such a bill is perhaps the most infamous
insult TO our courts and the common people
ever laid before Congress and the Repre-
sentatives in Congress must be held to a
strict accountability for their acts relating
thereto. But when bills come before
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 Senators also should
be written 20 and instructed II, there
fore, you will remember your privilege
and duty you viii at write
to your Congressman and Senator on
this pure food bill. Clip and enclose
the copy herewith presented and ask
them to make q business of following it
through the committee considering H..
Urge its being brought 20 a vote and re-
questing that they vote for It.
Some oppressively intelligent and carp
ing critic may say this is simply an adj
vcrtisemcnt for Postum and Gape-Nuts.
IL is true that these articles are spoken
of here IN a public manner, but they are
used as Illustrations OF manufacturer
seeking by example, printing on each
/ pkg. a truthful, exact statement Of in
| gradients, to shame other makers into
doing the fair thing by the common people
and establishing 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 pub
/ fishers Of America about 500 10000 to
/ print this announcement in practically
all OF the great papers and magazines in
tho conduct Of what he chooses to term
can educational campaign, esteemed to
I be of greater direct value TO the people
than the establishment cf 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
act intelligently and effectively.
The reader will be freely forgiven if
he entirely forgets the reference to Postum
and Gmpc-Nuts, il he will but Join the
pure lood movement and do things.
