Many pure food bills have been In
PRODUCED and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
TO Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
J~ectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory biz that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No government 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
net would deprive the common citizen
OF his personal liberty. The Postum

is deemed proper that the government

Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may

goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose q printed copyof the statement
Of the maker which was affixed to the

taller cannot undertake to guarantee

publish the statement Of the makers

the retailer Of responsibility of the

At FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
1Wenty4Ih Anniversary Ftthgy Observed in Banquet Committee Re-
ports And Social ssonSaay Of Rev. F. R. Miller Raised b.
Popular Accord-An EVENING Of ENJOYMENT sDent,

Yesterday evening was a notable
one in Baptist circles in Grand Forks
the occasion being the annual banquet
and business meeting of the First
Baptist church. 1t is the custom of
the church to tender a reception and
banquet to members and the congrega-
ton once each year. The evening is
given up to feast of reason and a
flow of soul" which is both enjoyable
and beneficial in social and spiritual
way.
The evenings reception, banquet
and business meeting was most adj
mirably planned and carried out. 1t is
seldom that a banquet is planned of
the magnitude of the one given in the
parlors of the church last evening,
where everything moves off as smooth
ly and where everything connected
with the affair is of as high charac-
ter. From the moment the guests en-
terer the door until the closing toast
had been given by the pastor, every
thing was in the best of taste and of
the best
At $50 the reception committee lin
ed up and began the work of receiving
the guests. For more than an hour
pleasant social time was enjoyed,
while the Sunday school orchestra, un-
der the leadership Of DR.. e. F. Adams,
rendered airs both classical and popu-
lar. The guests gathered in groups
and the stranger was made most well
come by the members of the church.

AT $3.50 the assembled company de-
scended to the spacious dining room,
where plates, were laid for $50 guests.
The long tables were most inviting
with their spotless linen and silver
and their beautiful boquets of hello
tropes. AS the guests filed in and
were ushered to seats, it was found
that plates enough had not been pro-
vided and tables were set in every
nook and corner. 1t is safe to say
that with the guests and the ladies
serving and in charge of the kitchen
more than 300 people were accommo-
dated at the banquet.
When the guests were all seated the
pastor, Rev. Frank E. R. Miller, re-
turned thanks not only for the repast
but for the year OF prosperity, spirit
ual and temporal, and the guests fell
to with gusto worthy OF the occa-
sion. The menu was elaborate and
palatable and full justice was done to
it by the banqueters. After an hour
at the tables, Rev. Miller called the
assemblage together for the annual
business meeting,
