serve the genuine article. but use all the
substitutes you please. We want to stop

makes 1t unnecessary for manufacturers to
60 into the intellect market and buy tss.
| timonials from persons who subsequently
| attempt to have 1t appear that their state
| ments are misinterpreted is bad business
know some substitutes have been ad-
| vertised SO that they are even better known
than tho original article II we are not
careful the work. of a generation for purs
food In this country will be undone."
