She is Of the opinion that II is only q
question of time, very short time, too
when every reputable store in the coun-
try will offer only guaranteed foods-not
alone the purity OF food as II comes to
the dealer, but the protection against
contamination until it reaches the con-
sumer.
Living up to the laws demands is
very we'll, but concern that really
strives for the desired end should set
its own standard, and never allow an
ounce of food to fall below that point
of purity.
Educating children to the necessity OF
avoiding doubtful foods and making
them understand that not everything
that pleases the palate is good for the
health, will soon create a demand for
food that contains nutrition and is not a
dctrinent"
Miss Baess is earnestly absorbed in
the subject of pure food and does not
hesitate to assert that shops selling un-
guaranteed foods should not be allowed
to do business.
THE cooperation of commerce and
Government Is a step in the right direc-
tion and only stores that conform and
assist to bring about this result can hope
to survive, because physicians, nurses
and all serious-minded individuals are
keen for this movement.
I'm our every day life there are many
things we can omit. b. ;.s we MUST
have food, why not insist upon II being
pure wholesome, clean and palatable?

can help, and so on until the boys and
