health officers Of Mich. Maine. Penn,
New Hamp. and other states in their
official bulletins have for years been
den"uncing as preposterous and
fraudulent the claims made by the
Postum Cereal Company" We do
not recall any criticism except from
Mich. Penn. Maine and =. Dakota.
The average reader might think
that the opinions expressed by the
State Officials are always correct,
but that conclusion is not borne out
by facts.
As an illustrations: About thirteen
years ago the Dairy and Food Com
mission of Michigan for some per-
gonal reason printed a severe criti-
cism on us for making Postum
az BARLEY according To his official
chemisD at market price and selling
too high. He was shown there was
never a grain of barley used in Pos
tum. His report was false and mis-
leading. The governor dismissed him.
We believe that most of the state
officials are honest. and on the other
hand we are firmly convinced that
some of their conclusions cannot be
substantiated by facts i'm scientific
research.
They never criticize the purity of
our foods. for So much we are thank

dutiable articles in this class is $25,-
$4,000, or 1915 per cent of the duti-

such imports passing from Canada to

cent of the total dutiablc imports for
that year.
The greatest interest in the new leg
islation is conferred, of course, In its
possible effect upon the prices of food
stuffs in the United States. Presi-
dent Taft has made 1t plain that he
does not expect the unrestricted inter-
change of food products will greatly
| reduce their cost to the people of this
country. Canadas small surplus .fQf
export makes this unlikely. But Mr.
Taft has contended that the opening
of the American markets to Cana
, dian grain and other foodstuffs will
help to prevent speculative fluctua-
tons and will steady local price move
ments.
Here are some of the more import
ant items placed on the reciprocity

swine. sheep and lambs, poultry,
wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat,

Under the terms of the agreement
mutually reciprocal reductions are
made wherever possible on secondary
food products. Fresh meats, on which
the United States placed duty OF
~ cents a pound under the Payne
Aldrich law. are admitted under the
proposed legislation at IL cents a

which is four cents pound under the

been made in the duties on smoked
