"It should be tho basis of evfry marriage, madam," answer- I Parson Joy ". "May I tell you something?" she whlspred. "I I a:u in love! Oh!I ru vcr. never thought It could be anything like it la i suppose no woman put was so much, so happily In love as I, and -It has made me I do not know what it has made me. except that I love the world because of Itman, the trees and flowers, everything." "It is true love, madam, that worka e changes." sabl the parson, very quietly, "You should thank heaven for it." Ik flashed swift r yea, with a glint of tears in them, on him for a second. "Hut I do!" she cried. "All day lonir, and whenever I wake in the night. And yet' she paused as a v il of sadness spread itself across her face. "Vs. mailam?" said tbe parson. "I do not know if my love Is returned." she whispered. Parana Joyce drew a long breath. "The gentleman" he stopped. "Th.-'i he has not sp ken to you?" he added, lamely. "Of love? Not one word!" she answered. "Sometimes I think I think he cares for mo. and sometimes I fear he does not. May I tell you aliout him V it will be such a relief, because I have no one v horn I may tellbut you." The parson bowed his head Human feeling was rapidly thawing the priest within the man; he felt now aa if he were tbe brother of this radiant yonug creature, "Will tag nut speak?" he said. "He has not spoken." "I have heard." s.Hd Parson Joyce, "that there are ways by which a man In thnse cases may kt made to speak." Tli" girl shrugged her shoulders and made a little grimace "I wish I knew them!" she said. "Tue gentleman is, perhaps, poor?" "In the eyes of tho world, yes." "And. possibly, prr.ud?" "With the pride of a true man." "It might seom pre;entious on his part to seek your hand, mailam?" "I believe, upon tnv soul. It Is sora" such nonsense as that which fills his heal!" she exclaimed, tapping her toe against the fender. "But, madam!" Parson Joyce In his agitation rose and stood before hr with clasped hands. "Consider Ike feelings of a poor gentleman, who. taaybt, loves and alores you with all his heart, but who Judges It presumptuous" "Pr sumptuous? Oh!" she said. "I have no patience with auch silliness. The mere fact that I love hiir maks him far above me." "It seema to me. madam," said Parson Joyce, "that there is but on way out of the difficulty." He faced h' r fair and square. In the determined way in which he always stood In hia pulpit, and she looked up at him. and immediately looked elsewhere. "If thi geiub man cannot be brough' to declare h'.s love, and hi tot! is so m ces sary to your happiness" "Y s." she murmured. "It Is It hai come to be my life.'" "And if you feel nr.sured that he ia keeping silent bceau.v he feara to b Utoagkt presumptuous" "Yes. yoa I know it la so." "Then." fail Parson Joyce, "yoa must tell him of your love for him." He said the words solemnly and resignedly, know ing that sh would do u'n.lt I), ah: !; knowing well, too. that no man would rMttt her. and that

LAW

People now demand the right to Know exactly what they eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food is "pure " la not satisfactory. Candy may contain "pure white clay or "pure " dyes and yet be very harmtui. Syrups may contain "pure " glucose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or boracic a id as a necessary pre-. r alive, whi h may Rgrai with one and be harmful to another. Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn nourand really be improved. Olive oil may be made of COtUM seed oil Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious. Tbe person who buys and eats must prote- hi a. -i if ami f mi! . and 1 h 1 right to, an I now dem; :;d. a law under which be can make n.'olUgent s'-'.e tion of food. Many pure food bills have been Introduced and home parsed by State leg.slatures; many have been offered to Congress but all thus far seem objectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble to retailers. No gov t commission or officer has the right to fix "food standards" to define w hat the people shall and shall not eat. for what agree with one may not agree with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of hia personal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods In the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors, (the retail groceri and, guided by this experience have prepared a bill for submission to Congress which Is intended to accomplish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the 1. R. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State It is deeme 1 proper tnat the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the states. A copy of the biil is herewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether tbe food is put ui in small packages ait- I. or In barrels, boxes or otherwise Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may oM-n a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts tbe goods into a paper bag he niu.'t also enclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to tbe original pkg. and inasmuch as the realler cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of Ingredients he must putiilsh the statement of the makers and add bis own name and address as a guarantee of his selling the food as It is represented to him which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly belongs. The remaining sections explain themselves. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd . for example, have from the beginning of Its existence printed on the oatatdo of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape Nuts food a truthful and exact statement Of what the contents were made of in order tint the consumer might know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy. for Instance, strii I ly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the pri e has a right to eapect not only ar equivalent for tho cost but a further rich to a certainty as to what he eats. Or h I may he willing to buy at less c ?t a jelly mule part of fruit juices, sugar and a portion of glucose. Put he nm-l be oipplled with truthful Information of the

whole. Witness the antl-injunction id 1 1 by which labor unions seek to tie thhandsof our courts and prevent the Issue of any order to restrain the members .f that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill Is perhaps the most infamous Insult to our courts and the common people ever laid itcfore Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acta relating thereto. Hut when bills tome before Onaajreaa that are drawn In the intere.-t of all the people they should receive the active personal supxrt of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Senators a'.ao should be written to and instructed if. therefore, you will remember your prlvi' W and duty you will a: once now write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food biil. Clip and enclose the copy herewith presented and ask them to make a business of following it through the committee considering. It. Urge ifS being brought to a vote and requesting th.it they vote for It. Some oppressively intelligent and carping critic may say this is simply an advertisement for Postum and drapeNuts. It is true that these articles are spoken of here in a public manner, but

they are used as lllustrationsof a manu facturer seeking by example, printing on each pkg. a truthful, exact statement of iri'-riedients, to shame other makers Into doing the t.dr thing by the common people, and establishing an era of pure food, but that procedure has not yet forced those who adulterate and deceive to change their methods hence this effort to arouse public sentiment and show a w ay out of the present condition of fraud, deceit and harm. The undersigned is paying to the publishers of America about f20'on.o to print this announcement In practically all of the great papers and magazines, in th conduct of what he chooses to terra, "an educational campaign," esteemed to be of greater direct value to the people thantheestablishnientof many libraries. That Is held to be a worthy method of tain- mo i.e.. i i the public good. Tell the p"op!e facts, show t hem a Way to hel ,i i ht ui selves and rely uion them to act Intelligently and effectively. The i -.-1 . -r will be freely forgiven if he entirely forgets the reference to Postum and Crape-Nuts. If he will but join the pure food movement and do things. C. W I OST.

Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man ;.nd woman join in an organized movement to clear our poplefrom this blight. You may not be able to go personally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you ran, In a most effcthe way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent yoti. Remember the Congressman Is in Congress to represent the i e pv f ror.' his district and If a goodly number of citizens express their view to him. he secures a very sure guide to duly. Remember also that the s; fety of the people Is assured by Insisting that the will of the people be carried out. nnd not ih machinations of the few for selfish interThis pure food legislation i. a pure tanataaart of the people for public protection. It will beoppo.-odonly by those who fatten their pockets by deceiving and Injuring the people Therefore, if your Representative in Congress evade his patriotic duty hob! him to strict accountability and if no es iry demand equitable nad honest service. This is a very different condltVn than when a faction ileniandsclasslegislationof the Congressman. Several years ago the butter Interests of the country demanded leti lntion to kill tkoolo miargnrlne ladaal I and by power of organization fori 1 class lec-'ation really unworthy of a fn e people. Work people wanted beef suet butter because It was cheap and better th in Btaek unclean milk butter, but the Ia1i inten ds organized and forced the legislation. The law tdiould have provided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear the statement of Intrredlents and then let people who desire put .seit for Just what It Is. and not try to kill It by a heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes try to force measures in their own interests but contrary to the interests of tbe people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the Interest of that trust but directly contrary to tbe interests of the people aa a
