which he can make intelligent SELECTION

Many pure food bills W. been intro
duced and some passed by State legisla-
lures; many have been offered TO Con-
gress but all thus far seem Objectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians to
formulate a satisfactory bill that would
protect the common people and yet avoid
harm to honest makers and prevent end
less trouble, to retailers. No govt COM
mission or officer has the right to fix
food standards to define what the peo-
pie 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
retail grocery and. guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submission
to Congress which Is intended to accom-
plish the desired ends. and inasmuch as a
citizen of the u. s. has a right to food
protection ven when he enters another
State 1t is deemed proper that the govt
take control of this matter and provide a
national law to govern all the States. a
copy OF the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. ! governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
or in barrels. boxes or otherwise.
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
enclose a printed copy of the statement
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 a
guarantee of his selling the food as 1t is
represented to him which relieves the
retailer OF responsibility of the truth OF
the statement and throws 1t upon the
maker. where 1t properly belongs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd, for ex-
ample. have from the beginning Of its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. OF Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact statement
OF what the contents We're made of in or

cisely what he or she was eating. "A per-

Candy may contain pure" white clay
