More Work for Wilson.

A servant girl in the household of
a Pottsville, Pa, family was slicing
potatoes for dinner the other day.
when she found one that was particu-
larly watery. She was about to
throw It away when the knife struck
something hard. She cut 1t out and
showed It to her mistress. It proved
to be . pearl, which jewellers value
at $40. Now, then. here is an oppor-
tunity for Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson. Let him take up Immediate
ly the investigation and propagation
of the pearl-bearing potato. There is
not constituent of any congressman
but would like to have sample and ex-
perimental packages of that vege-
table. The seed Of potato that
grows pearls would be much more
highly appreciated than several pack
ages Of peas good only for cheap
porridge.-savannah News.

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.
II has seemed difiicult for politicians
to formulate n satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or ofiicer 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
Co., Ltd. perhaps the largest makers
Of prepared foods In the world. have
naturally q close knowledge Of the
needs Of the people and the details OF
the business of the purveyors (the re-
tail grocery. and. guided by this expert.
ence have prepared bill for submis-
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 q national
law to govern all the states. A copy
of the bill il herewith reproduced.
Sec. ! governs the maker whether
the food is put up In small packages
sealed. or in barrels. boxes or other
wise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food In
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into q paper bag he must also
inclose a printed copy OF the statement
Of the maker which was afixed 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 1t
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 It's
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
Of in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was

instance. strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing to pay the price has a right to
