City Administration Is Taking Steps
to Safeguard People Here Against
Poisoned or Tainted
Articles.
DEMAND CERTIFICATES
Police viii Ask Manufacturers to
Stand Behind Stuff Put Out
Will Refuse
Licenses.

The city administration is taking
steps to protect Keokuk people from
any tainted or poisonous samples OF
wares that may be distributed as
samples through the city. Under the
powers given in city ordinance,
through the police department, the
administration is going to stop the
sampling Of the city with packages
of candy, breakfast foods or anything
of this nature, unless the manufac-
turers are willing to stand square
behind the samples.
A certificate from the manufac-
turers of the articles to be distribut-
ed would not be hard to obtain, and
would not work any hardship. 1t
would be q safeguard both to the
manufacturer and to the person re-
ceiving the sample. For these two
reasons, it Is felt that the manufac-
turer who legitimately wants to send
his samples here will see the justice
of the police regulation.
| Licenses have been demanded from
the city hall from time to time by
peddlers of court plaster, medicines
| and the like. The city will refuse
| to license all peddlers who have
court plaster, extracts, medicines and
] the like Tor sale. IN tnlS way pro
! lection will be established against
adulterated or innoculated plasters
and the like.
The control over these matters
will be left in the hands of the Pc
lice department, under the plans pro
posed, and it is expected that the
| local people will be given a safeguard
against any such thing as lock jaw
! court plaster or "doctored" or poison
! ed samples.
