Urge its being brought to vote and
requesting that they vote for it.
Some oppressively intelligent and
carping critic may say this is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these arti-
cles are spoken of here in public
manner, but they are used as iilustra-
lions of a manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg. a
truthful exact statement of lngredl-
ents, to shame other makers into do
ing the fair thing by the common peo-
pie, and establishing an era of pure
food, but that procedure mas not yet
forced those who aduiterate and de-
ceive to change their methods, hence
this effort to arouse public sentiment
and show a way out of the present
condition of fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers of America about $4,000,
to print this announcement in practic-
ally all of the great papers and maya
zines. in the conduct of what he chOos
es to term, IAN educational cam
paign," esteemed to be of greater di-
rect value to the people than the es-
tablishment of many libraries That
is held to be worthy method of using
money for the public good. Tell the
people facts, show them a way to help
themselves and rely upon them to act
intelligently and effectively.
The reader will be freely forgiven
if he entirely forgets the reference to
Postum and GrapeNuts, if he will but
join the pure food movement and do
things. G. w. POST.

collector came TO town and made the
rounds of the saloons inspecting the
liquors on tap and in storage. Carlson
runs saloon in the Parks building
above the Columbia Spur and when the

dropped of or been lost in some man

and requested Carlson 10 take the keg

wished it off. a few words followed
and finally the officer entered the box
again to take the KEY OF aud Carlson
shut the door saying that the ice was
