have grown in favor by reason of their
superior curative virtues and their safe

OLD TIMES , OLD FRIENDS , OLD
LOVE.
There are no days like the good old day * ,
The days when we were youthful !
When humankind were pure of mind ,
And speech and deeds were truthful ;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became man's ruling passion ,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant fashio !
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em !
As buxom and smart , and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make em !
They were rich in spirit and common
sense ,
And piety nil supportin ;
They could bak'e and brew , and had
taught school , too ,
And they made such likely courtin' !
There arq no boys like the good old
boys
When toe were boys together !
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather ;
When the pewee sung to the summer
dawn
Of the bee in the billowy clover ,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
*
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us !
We are old , old men , yetwe pine again
For that precious grace God save us !
So we dream and dream of the good old
times ,
And our hearts grow tenderer , fonder ;
As those dear old dreams bring soothing
gleams
Of heaven away off yonder.

The following Sunday afternoon
found the little dark-aud-ugly-man or
BO he considered himself spinning
merrily along the road that leads to
Ocean Pines. The branch train that
Stopped at everybody's back door was
not to be trusted on this occasion , for
did not the note in his breast pocket
bid him "Come down over Sunday ?
Mamma meant I should ask you the
other night , but I forgot you were
8O pugnacious. Come early , for we
have planned n little surprise for
you. "
He cast disapproving eyes over the
bare flats when a turn in the road
about one mile from his destination
brought them in sight. "Corker day
for sailing. Tide won't serve till 8 ,
and no moon ! Just my luck , ' ' he grum
bled. "Maybe when ! " Through the
thick willows he discovered a peculiar
shade of blue gingham he felt sure
he had seen before. He jumped from
bis wheel and made for the shore of
the inlet. There was "Pier Grace , "
as he was fond of calling her , rigidly
erect In the "Marsh Marigold , * ' which
gome ways dut , was stuck fast in tli
mud. Her Grace's face was set reso
lutely seaward and there was a cer-
tain defiance about her attitude that
spoke volumes. He was only human ,
however , so ho shouted : "Ship ahoy I
Is this the little surprise ? "
"John Foster ! How mean of you !
When I'm burned to a crisp and due
at Portsmouth at 4:30. : The Wilsons
are giving a reception to the envoys
and Mr. Chesley has invited us to go
in his auto. "
The last , sentence was almost a
wail.
"How did you'manage'he began ,
as he slipped off his coat and shoes.
"Don't think me such an idiot as
that ; of course , I knew that tide was
going. I broke an oar and not a soul
in sight this side of England. I never
could scull. I tried to make the inlet
But what are you going to do ? " she
finished in some alarm.
"The only thing I can , if you want
to shake hands with Mr. Tak-a-what's
name ? " He was rolling up his trou
sers with great coolness.
"You mustn't ; you'll ruin your
clothes ; somebody will see us and I'll
never hear the last of it"
"Very well , then. " He pulled a
newspaper from his pocket and set
tled himself against a stump.
"John Foster , you're the most con
trary fellow that ever lived. " -
At this most illogical statement
hurled from the direction of the
Marsh Marigold , "the most contrary
fellow" gave an extra hitch to his
trousers and started toward the help
less craft.
"Are you going to carry me ? " was
the question as lie drew nearer.
"Do you think I am big and strong
enough ? " ( Here Grace's eyes snapped. )
"I should be delighted to carry you ,
but I infer you have further use for
your boat , nnd don't exactly pine af
ter a second trip. "
With this he laid strong hands on
the Marsh Marigold , and the hard ,
slow push inshore began.
When it was finished John Foster
did not look quite so fine as when he
left the city. He was hot , somewhat
winded , and , in spite of his precau
tions , both trousers and shirt were
covered with mud. Then he uttered
his relieved "There ! " and , looking up ,
there was a shriek of laughter. "Oh ,
oh , what a sight you are ; if you could
only see yourself. " Suddenly she
reached for something hitherto con
cealed ; then the little click of n cam
era , then more laughter. "Oh , I could
not help it , it was such a temptation. ' '
"Are you ready to come ashore ? "
Was he laughing at her. or wbat ?
"I don't know as I dare. I expect to
be killed , " but she gave him her hand.
She did not jump , however , for he
took more than her hand. He took all
there was to take and held her fast
"Please tell me what my punishment
is to be , " she asked , humbly ; "I'd like
to know now. "
He looked deep into her eyes. "It
is to repeat something I am going to
say , " was the answer ; "then I will let
you go , and not before. "
Did they see the envoys ? Hardly.
They seemed quite content to remain
in the shade of the willows , particu
larly when the Chesley party went up
the road. Then there was a toilet to
be made an apology for one made
beside a convenient tunnel , at the sac
rifice of the company's entire stock of
handkerchiefs. Still they did not hur
ry ; somehow , they found plenty to
talk about , and it was nearly dusk
before taking a short cut across the
fields they appeared before two very
anxious parents , one of whom had to
take to the back porch and his pipe
to keep from disgracing himself as a
host ; the other , still too anxious and
disappointed to see the funny side , re
lieved herself in the following way :
"You might at least have sent me
word , pomehow. How could I go , with
*
you c nobody knows where ? How
did I know but what you were drown
ed , with the boat gone. Grace Mad
den , your dress is a sight to behold ! "
Then , remembering her duty as a host
ess , she said hi a milder tone to the
other culprit : "Go right up to the
spare room , Jack. I'll bring you some
of pa's clothes right away. "
When the great touring car came
puffing and spitting back to town and
past the Madden cottage , nobody , I
think , but Mrs. Madden gave it a
thought. She was in the kitchen giv
ing directions for the sponging and
pressing of the unfortunate trousers ,
and it was Black Mary , with the
freedom of speech of an old servant ,
who took upon herself the role of com

NEW LAW
People now demand the right to
know exactly what they eat.
To be told by maker or retailer that
the food is "pure" is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain "pure" white
clay or "pure" dyes and yet be very
harmful. Syrups may contain "pure"
glucose and yet be quite digestible and
even beneficial. Tomato catsup may
contain a small amount of salicylic'or
boracic acid as a necessary preserva
tive , which may agree with one and
be harmful to another.
Wheat flour may contain a portion
of corn flour and really be improved.
Olive oil may be made of cotton seed
oil. Butter may contain beef suet and
yet be nutritious.
The person who buys and eats must
protect himself and family , and he has
a right to , and now demands , a law
pnder which he can make intelligent
selection of food.
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures ; many have neen offered
to Congress , but all thus far seem ob
jectionable.
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 government commission or officer
has the right to fix "food standards"
to define what the people shall and
shall not eat , for what agrees with one
may not agree with another and such
act would deprive the common citizen
of his personal liberty. The Postum
Cereal Company , 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 grocer ) and , guid
ed 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
U. S. has a right to food protection
even when he enters another State it
is deemed proper that the government
take control of this matter and pro
vide a national law to govern all the
states. A copy of the bill is herewith
reproduced.
Section 1 governs the maker wheth
er the food is put up in small pack
ages sealed , or in barrels , boxes or
otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re
tailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee of his selling the food as
It is represented to him , which relieves
the retailer of responsiblity of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker , where it properly be
longs.
The remaining sections explain
themselves.
The Postum Cereal Co. , Ltd. , for ex
ample , have from the beginning of its
existence printed on the outside 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 that the consumer
might know precisely what he or she
was eating. A person desiring to buy ,
for instance , strictly pure fruit jelly
and willing to pay the price has a right
to expect not only an equivalent for
the cost but a further right to a cer
tainty as to what he eats. Or he may
be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part of fruit juices , sugar and a
portion of glucose. But he must be
supplied with truthful information of
the ingredients and be permitted to
use his personal liberty to select hia
own food accurately.
The people have allowed the slow
murder of infants and adults by tricky
makers of food , drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to one
self , family and nation demands that
every man and woman join in an or
ganized movement to clear our people
from this blight. You may not be able
to go personally to Washington to im
press your Congressmen , but you can ,
in a most effective way tell him by let
ter how you desire him to represent
you.
you.Remember
Remember the Congressman Is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and if a goodly number of
citizens express their views to him he
secures a very sure guide to duty. Re
member also that the safety of the peo
ple is assured by insisting that the
will of the people be carried out , and
not the machinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public pro
tection. It will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de
ceiving and injuring the people. There
fore , if your Representative in Con-
rress evades his patriotic duty hold
lira to strict accountability , and if
necessary demand equitable and hon
est service. This is a very different
condition than when a faction de
mands class legislation of the Con
gressman. Several years ago the but-
: er interests of the country demanded
egislation to kill the oleomargarine in
dustry and by power of organization
forced class legislation really un
worthy of a free people. Work people
wanted beef suet butter because it was
cheap and better than much unclean
milk butter , but the dairy interests
organized and forced the legislation.
The law should have provided that
pkgs. of oleomargarine bear the state
ment of ingredients and then let peo
ple who desire purchase it for just
what it is , and not try to kill it by a
heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes
try to force measures in their own in
terests , but contrary to the Interests
of the people and the labor trust is
always active to push through bills
drafted in the interest of that trust ,
but directly contrary to the interests
of the people as a whole. Witness
the anti-injunction bill by which labor
unions seek to tie the hands of our
courts and prevent 'the issue of any
order to restrain the members of that
trust from attacking men or destroy
ing property. Such a bill is perhaps
the most infamous insult to our courts
and the common people ever laid be-
fo e Congress and the Representatives
in 'Congress must be held to a strict
accountability for their acts relating
thereto. But when bills come before
Congress that are drawn in the inter
est of all the people they should re
ceive the active personal support of
the people and the representatives be
Instructed by the citizens. The Sen
ators also should be written to and in
structed. If , therefore , you will re
member your privilege and duty you
will at once now write to your Con
gressman and Senator on this pure
food bill. Clip and enclose the copy
herewith presented and ask them to
make a business of following it
through the committee considering It.

Some oppressively Intelligent and
carping critic-may say this is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. It is true that these arti
cles are spoken of here in a public
manner , but they are used as illustra
tions of a manufacturer seeking by
example , printing on each pkg. a
truthful exact statement of ingredi
ents , to'shame other makers into do
ing the fair thing by the common peo
ple , and establishing an era of pure
food , but that procedure has not yet
forced those who adulterate and de
ceive to change their methods , henca
this effort to arouse public sentiment
and show a way out of the present
condition of fraud , deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers' America about $20,000 ,
