NEW FOOD LAW

cheap and better than much unolean
milk butter, but the dairy interests
organized and forced the legislation.
The law should have provided that
pkgs. of oleomargarine bear the state
ment of ingredients and then let peo-
pie who desire purchase it for just
what it is, and not try to kill it by a
heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes
try to force measures in their own in
terests, but contrary to the interests
of the people and the labor trust is
always active to push through bills
drafted in the interest of that trust,
but directly contrary to the interests
of the people as a whole Witness
the anti-injunction bill by which labor
unions seek to tie the hands of our
courts and prevent the issue of any
order to restrain the members Of that
trust from attacking men or destroy
ing property. Such bill is perhaps
the most infamous insult to our courts
and the common people ever laid be-
fore Congress and the Representatives
in Congress must be held to strict
accountability for their acts relating
thereto. But when bills come before
Congress that are drawn in the inter
est Of all the people they should re-
ceive the active personal support Of
the people and the representatives be
instructed by the citizens. The Sen
ators also should be written to and in
structed. If. therefore. you will re-
member your privilege and duty you
will at once-now-write to your Con-
gresham and Senator on this pure
food bill. Clip and enclose tho copy

under which he can make intelligent
selection Of food
Many pure food bills have been in
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress. but all thus far seem OBJ
1ectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
60 formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No government commission OF 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
act would deprive the common citizen
Of his personal liberty. The Postum
Cereal Company, Ltd. perhaps the
largest makers OF prepared foods in
the world. have naturally close
knowledge Of the needs of the people
and the details of the business Of the
purveyors (the retail grocer, and, guild
ed by this experience have prepared a
bill for submission TO Congress which
is intended to accomplish the desired
ends. and inasmuch as citizen of the
u. g. has a right to food protection
even when he enters another State 1t
ia deemed proper that the government
take control of this matter and pro
vide national law TO govern all the
states. A copy of the bill Is herewith
reproduced.
Section 1 governs the maker wheth
or the food is put up in small pack
ages sealed, or In barrels. boxes or
otherwise.
Sec. governs the retniler who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When ne puts the
goods into a paper bag lie must also
enclose printed copyo the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and lnasmuch 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 as
it 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 be-
longs
The remaining sections explain
themselves
The Postum Cereal Co. Ltd, for ex
ample. have from the beginning Of it's
