not a drop Of Oriental oil in the can.
Then she will be in better shape to sympathize
with her husband, who just complains that the
cheap Oriental oil is preventing him from selling
his seed to the mill because the miller cannot sell
his oil to the refiner and lard substitute manu-
~facturer.
How are you going to tell that no ORR
entail oil is contained in the lard compound you
BUY?
BY insisting that the manufacturer so state on
his label!
And if the label is not right the food and drug
law will apply to that manufacturer.
Let the Southern housewife, from this mo-
.nent on, demand of her grocer that he guarantee
that none but all-American vegetable oil is con-
tained in the cooking fat she buys.
Then, in a day not far distant, cottonseed oil,
the greatest food product Of the South, will not
go begging against the product Of coolie labor.

Washington, u. g., March 29, 1919.
Editor Cotton Oil Press:
Dear Sir:-The government of the United
States has an iron-clad law that keeps the ORR
entail laboring man out of this country. He is
excluded for one big, principal reason; after
which trail a lot of little reasons. -
The big reason is that he will work so cheaply
that good American labor cannot compete with
him. The importation of Oriental labor would
undermine our industrial life; American labor
would go hungry.
Hundreds of government agents patrol the
Pacific coast night and day to prevent Oriental
laborers from entering this country.
Why does the Southern housewife take the
products of cheap Oriental coolie labor into her
kitchen and exclude an all-American product that
is trying to lift the great South to a higher plane
Of prosperity?
At the outbreak of the war the Government
stabilized the products of oil mills in the South
and put an embargo on exports. In furtherance
of Mr.. Hoover's plans to pile up a surplus of food
fats in this country the gates were opened wide
to imports. At that moment tankers plowed their
way across the Pacific and flooded America with
cheap Oriental vegetable oil; oil produced by
penny-a-day labor in the Orient from Oriental
cOttOnseed, peanuts and soy beans.
The Southern vegetable oil miller is now hav-
ing some difficulty in selling his all-American oil,
made from American grown cottonseed or pea
nuts, because the market is filled to the brim with
oil from the Orient.
The Southern planter goes home after a hard
days work and probably tells his Southern house.
vile IL Ills tIOuDieS. lie QOuDCleSS explains That
he cannot sell seed because the oil miller, in turn,
cannot sell the oil in the face of unfair competition
with cheap Oriental oil; he observes that some
thing will have to be done about it.
And at the dinner table that evening his South
ern housewife serves good food prepared with
cooking fats, a principal ingredient of which may
be cheap Oriental vegetable oil.
1t is within the power of the Southern house.
wife to help the South by the use of the South's
own unequaled products.
COttonseed and peanut oils are the cleanest,
best and most economical cooking fats in the
world. Scientific facts prove this. The differ
ence to the South comes in a label on the container.
When the Southern housewife orders from the
local store she undoubtedly says:
Send me a can of shortening" or lard COM
pound, perhaps designating it by it's trade name.
When that can Of lard substitute or cooking
fat, reaches her kitchen she should be able to say
definitely:
.Ihat cooking fat vas made in America from
southern cottOnseed or peanut oil, and there is

SPIRIT MESSAGES

 You should have read the recent resc-

 American Red Cross has received this week an estimate from the British war office that the cost for removing the brick and material from the Romsey sise will be S3000
 All the equipment of the big base hos pital built by the Red Cross for the army at Liverpool was to have been sold at auction. The lots were divlded, an auctioneer engaged and the sale ad- vertised. In the meantime, the council of aldermen of Liverpool voted that an offer be made for the equipment. It was decided to accept this offer as cour- tesy to the city.
 All tenders and all liquidation settre- ments are submitted to the army board of liquidation, as the army is to reim-
 purse the Red Cross for all its hospital construction.
