Many pure food bills have been in
troduced aud some passed by state

10 Congress. but all thus far seem OBJ
jectionable.
IL has seemed difficuit for politicians

prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No government commission or ofi,cer
has the right TO az food standards
TO defns what the people shall ana
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 Company, Ltd. perhaps the
largest makers Of prepared foods In
the world, have naturally close
knowledge OF the needs OF the people
and the details OF the business or the
purveyors (the retail grocer and. guild
