seIectIOn OF 1000.
Many pure food bills have been In
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
jectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate satisfactory bill 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 de-
line what the people 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 per-
sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co.
Ltd, perhaps the largest makers OF
prepared foods in the world, have nat
urally close knowledge of the needs
or the people and the details Of the
business Of the purveyOrs, (the retail
grocery and, guided by this experience
have prepared a bill for submission to
Congress which is intended to accom-
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch
as citizen of the T. S. has right to
food protection even when he enters
another State it is deemed proper that
the govt take control of this matter
and provide 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, boxed or otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer. who may
open barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into paper bag he must also
enclose printed copy of the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re-
taller cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement Of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
guarantee Of his selling the food MS
1t is represented to him which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
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
