NEW FOOD LAW.

Remember the congressman is in con-
district and il a goodly number of citizens
express their views to him he secures
very sure guide to duty. Remember also
that the safety of the people is assured by
insisting that the will of the people be
carried out and not the Vaccinations Of
the few for selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public protec-
ton. 1t will be opposed only by those
who fatten their pockets by deceiving and
injuring the people. Therefore, If your
representative in congress evades his pa
triotic duty, hold him to strict accounta-
bility and if necessary demand equitable
and honest service. This is a very differ
ent condition than when faction demands
class legislation of the congressman. Sew
eral years ago the butter interests of the
country demanded legislation to kill the
oleomargarine industry and by power of
organization forced class legislation really
unworthy of a free people. Work people
wanted beef suet butter because it was
cheap and better than much unclean milk
butter, but the dairy interests organized
and forced the legislation. Trhe law should
garine bear the statement of ingredients
and then let people who desire purchase
it for just what it is and not try to kill II
by heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes
try to force measures in their own inter-
ests, but contrary to the interests of
the people, and the labor trust is al
ways active to push through bills drafted
in the interest Of that trust. but directly
contrary 10 the interests of the people
as whole Witness the anti-njunction
bill. by which labor unions seek 10 tie
the hands of our courts and prevent the
issue Of any order to restrain the members
Of that trust from attacking men or de-
stroying property. Such bill is perhaps
the most Infamous insult to our courts
and the common people ever laid before
congress and the representatives in con-
gress must he held to a strict accounta-
bility FOR their acts relating thereto. But
when bills come before congress that are
drawn in the interest Of all the people
they should receive the active personal
support OF the people and the representa-
tiveS he instructed by the citizens The
senators also should he written to and in
I structed. VI therefore. YOU will remember
your privilege and duty YOU will at once
nnw-write To your congressman and SEN
ator on lniS pure 1000 blll. CID ana en-
close the copy herewith presented and ask
them to make a business Of following II

that they vote for it,
Some oppressivcly intelligent and carping
critic may say this is simply an advertise
ment for Postum and Crane Nuts. IT Is
true that these articles are spoken Of here
in p public manner but they are used as
illustrations of manufacturer seeking by
example. printing on each package a truth
full exact statement Of ingredients to
shame other makers into doing the fair
thing by the common people. and estab-
fishing an era OF pure food but that pro-
cedure has not vet forced those who adul-
terate and deceive to change their methods.
hence this effort To arouse public sentiment
and show a way out of the present condi-
ton of fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the publish
ers Of America about s2O.O00.O0 to print this
announcement i'm practically all of the
great papers and magazines, in the conduct
of what ne chooses TO term Fan educational
campaign esteemed to he Of greater direct
value 10 the people than the establishment
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 70 help themselyes and rely upon
them ID act LntellIgently and effectiyely
The reader will he freely forgiven II he
entirely forgets the reference to Postum
and Grape-Nuts. II he will but join the pure
food movement and do things.
