clare that:
It is the policy ot the State Association

ised to do everything within their power

ter and spirit ot the above resolutions.
.' Rtore Are Hanitary.
The second resolution scores the news
papers and others who have attacked the
retailers on the plea that grocery and
provision stores are not. kept In a sani
tary condition and favors an Intelligent
and sincere investigation, into aii piaces
where provisions are kept tor sale or
Storage and then vigorously condemns the
attack, declaring- them to bo "Inimical
and injurious to the welfare of the retail
trade, carrying with them a mercenary
DRlrtt. profitable only to such writers,

To Curtail Veal Supply.
The resolutions, seeking to increase the
