North Dakota Solves the AduIter1tIea

North Dakota seems 70 have found
the key to the question. How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
TO make il impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint. viz: pure
white lead and linseed Oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt TO absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments. or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted, the slogan.
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, II any one wishes
to buy a mixture OF rock-dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and

object, for they do it with their eyes
open. But II they prefer genuine
