Adulteration of Foods.
I recommend that a la w ba nsetd to
regulate Interstate commerce in ml.branded
and adulterated foods, drinks and drugs.
Huch law would protect legltlrnata manufac
ture and romrngrc. and would tend to -cur
th health snd welfare of th consum
ing public. Traffic In foodstuffs which hava
been debased or adulterated so a to injur
health or to dctv purchasers should b
forhlddtn.
