Boston. June 9th That women are

Of the National Conference of Chart

by Mrs, Albion Fellows Bacon ,of
Evansville, Ind, who has become
known all over the country as the
author OF lndiana's housing law,
Mrs, Bacon said in part: -
When the legislature opens and
The Pibrock of Dhonil Dhu knells for

concluded that housing reform can
never be won without hard work and
practical methods
Two things are needed in every
state said Mrs. Bacon "one is the
faith of the prophet. In Indiana we
count our success due to our prayers
more than 10 our hard work. The
other Is the vision of the prophet
a vision of the filth and sin, the

Some Suspicious Persons
Enquired if we were "hning" a certdn weekly" paper to abuse us.

in our foods, Or dirt in the factories. After tireless spying
about he summond twenty-five Of our workmen and took
their testimony. Every single one testified that the foods
are made Of exactly the grain and ingredients printed on
the packages the wheat, barley and corn being the
choicest obtainable- all thoroughly cleaned-he water
Of the purest, and every part of the factories and
machinery kept scrupulously clean.
That all proved disappointing TO the Weekly"
There are very few factories, hospitals, private-or hotel
and restaurant kitchens that could stand the close spying
at unexpected times and by an enemy paid to find dirt or
impurities of some kind.
In any ordinary kitchen or factory he would find
something to magnify and make a noise about.
But he failed utterly with the Postum Works and
products. Twenty to thirty thousand people 60 through
the factories annually and we never enquire whether they
are there to spy or not. 1t makes no difference to us.
He next turned to discover something about our
advertising that could be criticised.
An analysis of the methods and distorted statements
of the Weekly may interest some readers, so we take
up the items one by one and open them out for inspec-
ton. We will chain up the harsh words and make no
reference in this article to the birth, growth and methods
of the Weekly" but try to confne the discussion to the
questions now at issue.
Morgan County republican. (Versailles, Mo.) 1906-1914, 1911-01-19

Or course every time a spot light is turned on from
any source it offers a splendid chance to talk about the
merits Of the products, but pom honor now, we are not
hiring that Weekly"
The general reader seldom cares much for the
details of scraps
A few may have read lately some articles attacking
us and may be interested in the following:
Some time ago a disagreement arose with a
Weekly" They endorsed our foods by letter, but
wanted to change the form of advertising, to which
we objected.
The Weekly" discontinued inserting our advertise
ments while they were negotiating for some changes
they wanted in the wording and shape of the advertise
ments, and during this correspondence our manager
gave instructions to our Advertising Department to quit
advertising altogether in that Weekly"
Quite a time after the advertisement had been left
out, an editorial attack came. We replied in newspapers
and the scrap was on.
Then came libel suits from both sides, and some
harsh words.
Generally tiresome to the public.
That Weekly has attacked many prominent men
and reputable manufacturers.
Our Company seems prominent enough for a sensa-
tional writer to 60 after, hunt for some little SPOT to
criticise, then distort, twist and present it to the public
under scare heads.
So an attorney from New York spent more or less
time for months in Battle Greek hoping to find impurities
