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 q 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 bill for submis-
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as citizen of the u. S. has
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. 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 a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
inclose c printed copy of the statement
J 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
| 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 1t 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 a truthful and exact state
| ment of what the contents were made
l 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 a certainty
as 70 what he eats. Or he may be will
ing TO buy at less cost jelly made
part of fruit juices, sugar and por-
tion of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful information of the
ingredients and be permitted to use

earping critic may say this is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these Ar
ticles are spoken of here in public
manner, but they are used as illustra-
tions of a manufacturer seeking BY
example, printing on each pkg. truth
full, exact statement of ingredients, 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 .
way out of the present condition OF
fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers of America about $40, 100000
to print this announcement in practt
cally all of the great papers and maga-
zines, in the conduct of what he
chooses to term "an educational cam
paign," esteemed to be of greater d.
rect value to the people than the estab-
lishment of many libraries. That 10
held to be worthy method of using
money for the public good. Tell tho
people facts, show them a way to help
themselves and rely upon them to act
intelligently and effectively.

growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.

MADE A GALLANT STRUGGLE
PHYSICIANS SURPRISED AT THE
BRAVE FIGHT MADE BY
THEIR PATIENT.

New York, Jan. 17.-Marshall Field
of Chicago, millionaire merchant and
leader in the dry goods trade of the
world, died at the Holland House in
this city at o'clock p. m. after an ill
ness extending over more than
week, beginning with bad cold that
developed quickly into pneumonia.
which affected both lungs. Mr.. Field,
although seventy years of age, made
a fight against the disease, which the
attending physicians characterized as
being braver and stronger than would
have been expected of a man many
years his junior. Mrs. Field and
other members of the family were
with him when he lapsed into the
period of Inconsistencies that result
ed in death. In the adjoining room
were many persons prominent in the
business and social life of Chicago, in
innate associates of Mr.. Field, who
had come to New York when the Sc
riOusness Of his condition was made
known to them.
An outline Of the funeral arrange
ments has been decided upon. The
body will be taken to Chicago on
special train. There will be no serv-
ices OF any sort in this city. It is
planned to hold the funeral services
in Chicago at date to be fixed, eth
er from the Field residence in Prairie
avenue, or from the First Presbyterian
church, whose pastor, the Rev. Dr.
Morrison, will in either case be the
officiating clergyman. On board the
special train in addition to the mem
bers of the Field family, the friends
| who came ON from Chicago will be
passengers
Presaged the Coming of the End.
A sinking spell early in the morn
| ing, which followed the remarkable
rally Of the previous day presaged the
| coming of the end. The attending
| physicians first notified the members
| of the family and withdrew from the
sick chamber The message that the
| end was near was conveyed also to
the members of the Chicago colony
stopping in the hotel and they gather
ed in one of the rooms of the suite.
Mr. Field was told that he had but
the slightest chance for recovery
During the periods of consciousness
which marked the last four hours of
his life, he talked but little, seemingly
resigned and peaceful and occasional
ly expressing his appreciation of the
fight his physicians had made for
him.
Mr.. Field had been in consultation
Sunday with his personal counsel
from Chicago. He had felt that his
condition was grave and had given al
most constant thought to his business
affairs.
With Mr.. Field at his death bed, in
addition to his wife, were Mrs. Mar
shall Field, Jr., Stanley Field, a
nephew and son of Joseph w. Field of
Manchester, Eng, and Mrs Stanley
Field. In the rooms adjoining were
the attending physicians, Mr.. Fields s
personal counsel, Mr. Bea1e Of Chi
cago, Robert T. Lincoln and many
other friends of the Field family.

between s1O0,000,00O and 100000 900
