AMBIGUITY IN FOOD

The board OF food and drug inspection
In Washington has handed down a num-
Der Of decisions this week In answer TO
question: submitted by manufacturers
and dealers. There Is a great amount OF
sincere perplexity In regard 10 the details
OF this new federal effort to purify the
food and drugs consumed in America.
In the first place there Is ambiguity in
the law. The serial number on manufac-
tured products is Issued by the agricul.
tural department. The guarantee OF no
adulteration In the commodity Ii not the
governments. II is the manufacturers.
Secretary Wilson allows them TO Ale
with his department and publish on the
labels Of their food or drugs a statement
that these are absolutely pure. He then
assigns a number OF the guarantee and
permits the manufacturers TO print that
too.
The maker OF impure articles, by print
ing the official serial number, the guar
antee, and the date OF the act together,
may convey the impression that the feder-
al authorities have analysed the contents
and given official endorsement regarding
their purity.
Either the law or It's administration Is
inadequate and bungling. The opportunity
81 opens for dishonest manufacturers 10
poison the consumer. while misleading
him into the belief that the United
States government guarantees their
goods, threatens TO make a fasco OF the
pure food law.
II 10 explained by Secretary Wilson that
the object In issuing a serial number bear
Eng the governments seal IL 10 put the
burden OF proof upon the maker OF the
goods. The number locates the manufac-
turer. IL the consumer dies the surviving
family knows who poisoned him.
II would epern that What calls for i'm
mediate publication Is the pure food law
itself. The Illegal mixture OF the manu-
facturer's statement OF purity with the
seeming stamp OF government approval Is
a form OF deception far worse thar has
been formerly practiced.
Before the passage OF this act the con-
sumner was suspicious OF many commo-
dities which he now will buy, believing
that the official chemists have examined
the goods and found them TO be pure.
There II every reason 10 believe that the
board OF inspection, consisting OF two
chemists and a solicitor OF The depart
ment OF agriculture, IL earnest In It's de-
termination TO purity American food and
drugs. One OF its decisions this week in
dicstes that the public annot be too
y~igilantly on Its guard.

where our laws are made, and unless
check is administered the passage
of the parcels post bill will mark one
of its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at a few of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patroniZe the home dealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
tered In each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means a prosper
Gus year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, in the
country dealer, a staunch and loyal
friend and a defender of his rights.
They pay taxes together, live side by
side, their children play and go to
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes. to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-
tions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
does he get value received? Not
often. The first order he may, but
that is only a bait. The business is
not founder on principles, it is not
builded on honorable methods, its
mighty walls are erected on graft.
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
those of a much higher grade. You
are expected, to send cash with the
order or have it ready when the
goods arrive with the big c. o. D.
mark on the package. Your crop fail
ure, or shortage of money doesn't in
terest the mail order house, your
credit with them is good only so long
as your pocket book is filed Your
order is made out and you pay for
goods you never saw. put up and Sc
lected by men you do not know. If
these goods do not prove to be worth
the money, If the shoes do not wear
well, or the suit is shoddy goods, will
the mail order firm make them good?
Not often. Yet the local dealer will
do this. He knows his hones:y is his
best drawing card. So much for the
advantage of dealing with honest men
and not with grafters.
Still other issues present them
ness sub-stations or branch houses

A Great Scheme.

The great manufacturer visited the
famous astronomer, and throwing
down ten thousand dollar bill said:
81 want you to devote year or two
to the work of ascertaining whether
Mars is inhabited.
q will gladly undertake the task, "
said the astronomer.
"And if you find that Mars is inhab-
tied I'll give you ten times that
amount if you'll find some way of es-
tablishingitravet between us"
THAT | fear, will be impossible"
said the astronomer.
well, you prove that Mars is in
habited and we'll do the rest"
why, may l ask, are you SO anx-
ious to establish travel between the
two planets?" queried the man of stars
and asteroids.
"Just this" snapped the great man
ufacturer. We've got to find more
children for our mills, and we've made
up our minds to bust these labor
unions, cost what it may. You get us
into communication with Mars and
we'll frame up a scheme to get her
kids and ignorant men and women
into our mills. Then we'll be fixed on
the labor question for another hundred

bring comfort or necessary improve
ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea,
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests are
your interests, whose hand is always
ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the fashy catalogue of the mail
order house to help kindle the kitchen
fire, and keep your money at home
where it will benefit you and your
neighbors over and over again. The
farmers dollar, earned by honest toll,
should not be added to the blood
money of these great mail order cor
poratiOns. The farmer must join the
local merchant and the country editor
in battling this great peril that is
creeping, creeping onward with great
rapidity, and unless these forces are
combined and their efforts prove in
creasing, the day is not far distant
when the chance will be gone forever
the power will be too great to con-
quer.

selves in this connection. With the
rapid growth OF the mail order busi-
are being established. These large
firms are daily reaching out for new
sections of trade. What will be the
result along this line? With the
growth of the catalogue house comes
the death of the rural mercantile
trade. Let them once Destroy the
country merchant and the markets.
of the world will be in the hands of
few wealthy capitalists. Their branch
houses will appear in all the country
towns and the farmer will no longer
be independent. His friend, the coun-
try dealer, who through competition
was forced to pay the value OF the
butter, eggs, etc., will be thing of
the past, and in his place will appear
the fat, gloating face of the capitalist,
in whose benumbed conscience there
is no thought of pity, whose breast
contains instead of heart a great
lump of cold stony gold, whose one
ambition is to build up greater for
tune than the world has ever seen,
and who cares naught for the tears or
trials, woes or weeping of his victims
so long as he can squeeze little more
of the coveted glittering treasure from
him.
Again, the dollar spent with the
local dealer stays in the community
where it blesses thesspender over and
over again. The merchant pays 1t to
the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till,
the baker pays it to the miller for
flour, and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, so the dollar once
more jingles merrily in the farmers
trousers pocket. But spend 1t with
the mail order house and 1t Is gone
never to return. 1t goes to build up
the great commercial interests of New
York or Chicago. Does it pay the
farmer to send his money to help
beautify and build up these great
cities? Has ne not more interest in
identifying and building up his own
section of the country? If not, he
should. If place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money ir, it is good enough for him to
spend mis- money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses, streets,
bridges, etc.? Does the mail order
house help? Will they give a dollar
to educate the farmers children, or
donate anything to support the farm
er's widow or orphans? Do they help
to pay the taxes, or add anything to
