dynamic Commissioner Is First Michigan Official
to Insist on Honest Neutrality-suspicious.

Never before In Its 20 years his

the state dairy and food department
or Michigan as In the last six months
ana never has there been an officer
more jealous or more unceasing In

sioner of the department by Gov.
Ferris, Jan. 2, 1913, for twoyear
term. MIR. Helme had been deputy
commissioners. appointed by Gov.
Chase s. Osborn, and so was in u
position to prosecute the work in a
way to get the greatest efficiency.
No sooner had he assumed con-
troll than the vim and energy inspir-
edy by his personal direction began
to show itself In all directions. His
nrst act was to institute reorgani-
Sation OF the department that was IN
itself an innovation. Instead OF be.
Ing the cut and dried sffair in which
political debts are raid of, 1t was a
bona fide realignment Of forces upon
the basis OF merit and efficiency.
Onhampered BY Precedent.
The activity of the new head was
not hampered In the leas. by pre-
cedent. The originality OF methods
pursued by him has made them
peculiarly effective and has not only
resulted In the enlightenment OF
many citizens upon food questions
but has attracted the attention OF
people outside the state.
One of the first prohlems m nre
sent itself to him was how to handle,
dealers In Detroit whom he discover
Cd using deceptive practices in the
selling OF oleo for butter.
As means Of. combating the
abuse, the commissioner himself
turned to the columns of the news.
papers and bought advertising space
In which TO issue warnings TO con-
sumers. II Is said TO be the firsr
time that any state official ever tool,
such action In his Official capacity.

, ly: THAT seemed to me to be the
best way to handle the situation
Suppose We merely prosecuted the
guilty men, they perhaps would only
pay u small fine. The newspapers
would run a. little story about 1t
which few persons would read and
that would be the end OF II. But when
we put 1t up to the housewives in q
large display advertisement, we get
the attention OF newspaper readers
and have an equal show with the
fraudulent advertisements.
The fact that the custom had
never been followed before was moth

His fight with the cleo men led Mr..
Helme TO favor a pure advertising
bill. For although the commits
sioner had in mind only the remedy
OF conditions with which he was
dealing, the bill which was drafted
and which has since become law, is
general in it's nature and prohibits
deceptive advertising OF all kinds
whatsoever. This law, the commis-
sioner says. will aid largely in help
ing the enforcement of pure food
regulations.
Another OF the unique features OF
his administration which Commits
sioner Heime introduced immediate
ly and which he has kept up con-
sistently is the issuing of frequent
bulletins sent for publication to 100

most part terse decisive exposes OF
