PROCLAMATION
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA:
By an act of the Legislature, passed several years ago, the Governor Is consti
tuted the Food, Drug, Dairy and Oil Commissioner, and it is made his duty to see
that all of the provisions of the law are properly enforced. To aid him in this duty,
he is authorized to appoint a Deputy Commissioner, and he, In turn, with the consent
cf the Governor, appoints a number of inspectors. In order that all of these officers
perform their duty, constant vigilance is required on the part of those directly in
charge.
Therefore, as Governor of the State, I am exceedingly anxious that the best pos
sible results be secured. Food may be said to include everything we consume that
goes to build up and preserve our natural life, as bread, meat, butter and everything
into which the products of the dairy and poultry industry enter and constitute the
major part, together with vegetables, of which we consume enormous quantities, and
that these should be pure, or as nearly so as possible, is the prime intent and justi
fication for the existence of the law and for its rigid enforcement.
This law has worked well in the past and has received the stamp of public
approval, but that it may be made still more efficient and bring more and better
results, I deem it proper to follow in the steps of former Governors and set aside a
week in which all organizations of commercial endeavor, all societies of publie wel
fare and business concerns engaged in selling, distributing or manufacturing goods,
and those engaged in the production of food, are hereby requested to join in the
movement and aid in making the work of those who are set to carry out the will of
the people a success.
Nebraska is In the forefront of food-producing states and Its citizens should vie
with each other in order that its products should receive first consideration in the
markets of our country and of the world.
I, therefore, set apart the week beginning March 26 as Pure Food Week.
Done at Lincoln, Neb., this 19th day of March, 1917.
GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA.
