Remember the Congressman is in Con-
gress 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. 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 interest.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 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 patriotic duty hold him to strict ac-
countability and if necessary demand
equitable and honest service. This Is a
very different condition than when a fac
tion demands class legislation of the Con-
gresham. Several years ago the butter
interests of the country demanded legls-
lation 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. The law should
have provided that pkgs. of oleomar-
garine bear the statement OF ingredients
and then let people who desire purchase
it for just what it is, and not try TO Kill
il by a heavy tax. Manufacturers m
times try to force measures in their W
interests, 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

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 men,
bers of that trust from attacking mel or
destroying property. Such a bill Is
perhaps the most infamous insult to u
courts and the common people ever
laid before Congress and the Represen-
tatives in Congress must be held to a
strict accountability for their acts re-
lating 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 represen tatives be
instructed by the citizens. The Sena-
tors also should be written to and in
structed. If, therefore, you will re-
member your privilege and duty you
will at once-nQw-write to your Con-
gresham and Senator on this pure food
bill. Clip and enclose the copy here
with presented and ask them to make
a business of following it through the
committee considering it. Urge its be-
ing brought to a vote and requesting
that they vote for it.
Some progressively intelligent and
cdrping critic may say this is simply an
advertisement for Postum and Grape
Nuts. 1t is true that these articles are
spoken of here IN a public manner, but
they are used as illustrations of a manu-
facturer seeking by example, printing on
each pkg. a truthful, exact statement Of
ingredients, to shame other makers into
doing the fair thing by the common peo-
pie, and establishing IN 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, de-
ceit and harm.

fishers of America about 2 100000 TO

an educational campaign. esteemed TO

That is held to be a worthy method of
