carping critic may say this is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t Is true that these ar
ticles are spoken of here In public
manner, but they are used as illustra-
tions of a manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg. a truth
full, exact statement Of ingredients, to
shame other makers into doing the
fair thing by the common people, and
establishing an era of pure food, but
that procedure has not yet forced those
who adulterate and deceive to change
their methods, hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show q
way out Of the present condition OF
fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned lis paying to the
publishers of America about 100000
to print this announcement In practi-
cally all of the great papers and maya
zines, in the conduct Of what he
chooses to term IAN educational cam
paign," esteemed to, he Of greater d.
rect value to- the people thaEsthe estab-
Nshhent Of many libraries. That 10
held to be worthy method Of using
money for the public good Tell the
people facts, show them 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 Graps-Nuts, il he will but
join the pure food movement and

THE SWORD OF 1912

But this old sword-we gave 1t him; his
country, yours and mine
And set his name upon 1t for some SORT
of grateful sign
That what brave deeds he did for US
were cherished at their worth,
That country love and courage were far
more than wealth or birth.
And how he used to tell of when the war
of ~ was ont
His brave old eyes would glimmer with
the fire of days agone;
His old white head would be flung back
his shaking voice was clear
And those who heard and saw must know
to him his land was dear.
Ho, Cuthbert Small. this score of years
and more have been dust,
But this old sword is clean and keen and
fair and free from rust
And all the fine old faith that you ana
your sword typified
Is living now in every heart that beats
with country pride.

Before the Age of Buttons.

Persons who read much OF historic
romance cannot fail to recognize the
request, Truss my points," which
has been used by every writer of
English from the time of Chaucer.-
Perhaps everyone who read the
phrase did not know that 1t meant,
in common parlance.- fface up my
clothes" but that is what it did mean,
and the reason it ceased to be used
IN actual conversation resulted from
the invention of the button and the
passing away of the custom of fasten-
ing the clothes by lacing.

The people have allowed the slow
murder of infants and adults by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from
this blight. You may not be able to go
personally to Washington to impress
your Congressman, but you can, in a
most effective way tell him by letter
how you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is In
Congress to represent the people from
his district and If a goodly number of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures a very sure guide to duty. Re-
member 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 pro
lection. It will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people. There
fore, IL your Representative in Con-
gress evades his patriotic duty hold
him to strict accountability, and IL
necessary demand equitable and hon
est service. This is very different
condition than when a faction demands
class legislation of the Congressman.
Several years ago the butter interests
of the country demanded legislation to
kill the oleomargarine industry and by
power of organization forced class leg
islation really unworthy Of free peo-
pie. 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. The law should have
provided that pkgs. of oleomargarine
bear the statement of ingredients and
then let people who desire purchase II

OSHNNsAOA VA ioO0.
Many pure food bills have been In
troduced and some passed by State leg
islatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable.
1t has seemed dffYicult for politicians
to formulate satisfactory bin that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has che
right to fix food Standards" to define
what the people shall and shaft 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
Co., Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
OF prepared foods in the world, have
naturally a close knowledge of the
needs of the people and the details of
the business Of the purveyors (the re-
grocer), and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submits
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as a citizen Of the u. 8. 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 a national
law to govern all the states. copy
of the bill is herewith reproduced
Sec / governs the maker whether
the food Is put up in small packages
sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. Q governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
inclose printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer 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 1t
Is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where 1t 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
Nuts food truthful and exact state
ment of what the contents were made
or in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy, for
instance. strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing to pay the price has right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost, but further right to a certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be will
ing to buy at less cost jelly made
part of fruit juices, sugar and a por-
ton of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful information Of the
ingredients and be permitted to use
his personal liberty to select his own
| food accurately
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1906-03-09
NEW FOOD LAW

People now demand the right to
know exactly what they eat.
To be told by maker or retailer that
the food is pare" is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain "pure" white
clay or pure" dyes and yet be very
harmful. Syrups may contain pure"
glucose and yet be quite digestible and
even beneficial. Tomato catsup may
contain small amount of salicylic or
boracic acid as a necessary preserva-
tive. which may agree with one and
be harmful to another.
Wheat -four may contain a portion
OF corn flour and really be improved.
Olive oil may be made Of cotton seed
oil. Butter may contain beef suet and
yet be nutritious.
The person who buys and eats must
protect himself and family, and he has
right to, and now demands, a law
under which he can make intelligent

CHINESE BOYCOTT DYING OUT
Business Relations with the Celestial
Kingdom VIII soon he on
Normal BASIS.


SAN FRANCISCO. March 3O.--The Bull
letin says that direct information from
the trade ports and eenters of China is
to the effect that the boycott against
goods shipped from the United States is
rapidly dying out and that there is a
prospect of an early and full resumption
OF business.
Such advices come to rich and influential
Chinese merchants OF this city who main
tain intimate business relations with the
big cities of China. They have been re-
ceived by the Six Companies and cover all
OF China that is known to the American
business man, coming from Hongkong
Canton, Shanghai and Hankow. They say
that progressive Chinese are gradually
overcoming the hostilities OF the less ad-
vanced classes and growing openly defiant
Of the viceroys, who, II Is alleged. have
fostered the anti-American feeling.
The building Of the Canton -Hankow
railway is said TO be exertinE a powerful
influence In favor Of trade with America
and has almost won back, say the Chinese
writers. the sympathy OF those importers
OF foodstufis from this country who have
suffered financially ever since the boycott
was begun. and have been looking for an
excuse TO renew the business with Amerl-
can irms.
Local Chinese merchants predict an end
In tho near future Of all trade differences.
