Pure Fcod Committee of Con
sumers' League Tells of
Work Done and of Further
Pjans. '
To iromot statewide enforcement of
la tvs requiring eradication of consunjp
jtion anion; cattle and elevation of dairy
I methods,, the pure food committee of the
Consumers' league has subscribed to a
ftmpttlpiv whlctawlll be. conducted In
y cooperation with state and city health
' jifftclais,5 dairymen and ; milk dealers.
Since It" was t a large extent due to
; work performed by this committee that
; I'ortlarid's pure milk ordinance ; Was
finally adopted in. the face of strenu
, ous opposition from the state dairy and
food commissioner, and . certain dairy
men, it Is believed the work , toward
statewide, legislation will be as effec
tive. ' . ' !...;.-. ' ':'-' '. - '
The amount of work of which, this
ttimmlttee s capable Ja shawa by a re
port of the things accomplished durinjf
.the past .year,, as made by-Mrs. A. E.
; Rockey, chairman f the committee, at
; Die annual meeting of the Consumers'
! league Friday. .The -report reads: ; w
Bepdatlar Sale of Milk.
"The principal wprk of . this commit
tee has been connected with the pass
age and enforcement of ordinance No.
'J0424, relating to the production and
sale of pure milk In. the city of Port-
1 land. ;''v
"Following the campaign for educa
tion and publicity of existing conditions
reported at oar last annual meeting
there was developed on the part of the
1 dairymen- and dealers a - vigorous op
position to the measure, which has re
s quired of the commutes much person
al work to overcome. " After many In-
!: tirv)ews with the mayor and members
; of the council and with the valuable as
sistance of the. city and state boards
of health, and of C. 8. Jackson, this or
dinance was drafted and Its passage se
cured, v .',
. Conditions Improving.
' "The passage of . this ordinance has
marked a general improvement of con
ditions. This has been largely due to
.the educational effect of , the publicity
given to the subject by the press both
to the consumer and the producer, and
to the general knowledge that a law re
quiring better conditions existed. Deal
ers have In the main compiled with the
requirements, but In some quarters
there has been opposition to Its. enforce-
;. , ment.,;,.;,.,'.',.,.::!:..,... . .

ery Injunction proceedings were held
before Judge ' Cleland to restrain , the
council from enforcing the ordinance

J, ; , McCourt's Opinion. ! . ' .
, "Touching the question of Interfer
ence of the local ordinance with the
federal laws, your .committee addressed
a series of questions to the Honorable
John McCourt, United States attorney,
and In a lengthy communication discus
sing these questions he says In closing:
'It 19 apparent that if the legislature of
the state of Oregon has given the city
of Portland charter power to pass or
dinances for the. protection and health
of the city, the ordinance is a valid one.'

the prompt and courteous and
hcnslvo discussion he has given their
.interrogatories. ,
- "Oh petition of your' committee the
National Consumers' league has grant
ed them, the privilege of using the na
tional label on milk,' Owing to the ne
fssity of special inspection they have
not to this time been able to perfect
arrangements for its use. It is hoped
that in the near future the league will
be able to accomplish this, v
t,"i Outlook Zs Hopeful,
' "The movement for Improvement of
purity and quality of food has now be
come so well established' that the out
look for' better,, conditions is hopeful.
The department of agriculture has is
sued a; number of Valuable bulletins
bearing on these questions. The atten
tion of housekeepers ' Is "particularly
called to farmers' bulletin No. 413 on
,th4care of milk and its use in the
home. - This bulletin Is a pamphlet of
JO pages, which contains three very val
uable articles by, government experts,
.and may be had for the asking by ad
dressing a postcard to the United Ktates
department of agriculture at Washing-
ton. D. C. "
"Better conditions can he procured
nd maintained only by the personal
,nd continued vigilance of the consumer
;to the requirements of laws already en
acted, or that may be fouhd further to
be desirable." '
' THE FIRST TASTE ' .
.'Xtarned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.
J If parent realised the fact that coffee
contains a drug caffeine which Is es
pecially harmful to children, they would
'doubtless hesitate before giving the
babies coffee to drink. '
" ' "When J was a child in my mother's
arms and first began-to nibble things at
-the table, mother used to give me
,slps of coffee. As my parents used cof
fee exclusively at meals I never-knew
there was. anything to drink but coffee
and water...
".Bd so J contracted the coffee habit
early, ; I - remember when xiulte -young
, ,the oontlnual ose. of coffee so. affected
,tny parenU that they tried ' roasting
Wheat and barley.-.then ground.lt In the
coffee mllli as a substitute for coffee.
, "But it did not taste right and thev
,went back to coffee again. .That was
long before Postum .was ever heard of.i

nd when I got Into office, work, I began
to have nervous upells. Especially after

CHILDREN SHOW HOW TO MAKE

of the Portland Junior Poultry associa
tion, says poultry rflslng pays. Ills
figures, prepared for the Judges of the
contest in which his little flock of 2f
hens were entered, were so convincing
that the Judges Friday night awarded
him the first prize of $100. The prizes
were awarded at a meeting of the asso
ciation hald at tha T. M. C.; A. Friday
evening. , ,;' 'i.V. ty: f ". "'
The object of the contest was to show
residents of the suburbs that anyone
owning a lot or half a lot could with
profit raise chickens in connection with
his regular business.: The contestants
were Instructed to keep a complete Hat
of the kind, amount and the cost of the
feedVwhlch theyed their chickens and
the number and price of the eggs "han
dled. This report compiled at the end
of the year showed that Master Hogan's
hens netted hlnv a profit' of 12.86 a
piece, and. the hens kept by -Miss Ruth
Hayes, , winner of the second placer net
ted her $3.62 apiece. ' " - t
Contest Conducted Jointly.
The contest was bfgun on November
1, 1909, ; and closed October SI, 1910,
being conducted Jointly by the Agricul
tural college, and the Y. M. C. A. Pro
fessor James Dryden of the poultry, de
partment of the college, acted as Judge
and marked the contestants, using a
regular scoring system, . The contest
ants were given works on the condition

All Cay yesterday the fowl wkming
the prizes for their ewnera; together
with the reports of the contestants,
were Shown on the fifth floor of the
Meier & Frank store. The room was
t-Qmfortably crowded all day,,- and - the
well kept birds called for a great deal
of praUe. In presenting the ..prizes at
the Y. M. C A. Friday night Dr; James
Wlthycombe of Corvallls said In part; '
: ExoeUeat Beoords Made. ' -:
"In -this contest some excellent ! re
sults were obtained. In one Instance a
yield cf 153 eggs per hen was secured
and the average of the yards, awarded
prizes was 118 eggs per hen. The aver
age net profit per hen was $2.48 which
j-ls an. excellent showing when we con
sider that these nens were mostly con
fined to small yards and cared for by
boys and girls who had but little pre
vious knowledge of poultry. "
"These results indicate the very prom
ising field for poultry upon. the farms
in this state -
"There are ' approximately 60,000
farms in Oregon and if each farmer
wh?re to keep. 100 -good laying hens and
give them as good care as the hens
received in the contest and received the
same prices for eggs, it would means an
annual revenue from eggs alone of $14,
480,000 to the farmers of this state.
Product worth (9,000,000.
"The farmer perhaps would not re
ceive the fancy price for his eggs aw
secured by these boys and girls, but
the cost of production would be appre
ciably lower, for 100 hens, running at
large upon an . ordinary farm, where
other ' stock Is maintained, would pick

Pendleton, Or., Nov. 12. Because "of
,the stubbornness and obstinacy of four
mules which he was driving, 'Arthur
Bell, employed by Charles Hamilton, a
reservation farmer, lies at the point of
death In a local hospital with a bad
wound In the head. He was driving the
mules across the O.' B. & N.-track when
delayed No. IT westbound through pas
senger train came around a curve. . At
sight of the train the mules stopped if.
their tracks and refused to move at the
insistent urging of the driver or whls-
tie of the locomotive. - The airbreaks
were thrown on, but the train struck
the wagon before It coUid be stopped.

Is Polished Rice Injurious?
The Retail Grocers' association have
seen fit to Issue a fclrcular to the re
tailers, calling their attention to pack
age rice,, this circular evidently being
directed ' against what Is known as
"CRYSTAL RICE," advising them to
handle the bulk, goods, etc., on account
of the greater margin (5f profit to the
retailer. .
In Justice to yourself, we ask you,
Mr, Reader, to ; be fair minded enough
to calf up the U. 8. pure food office
and ascertain, from them whether or not
the coating of rice with a mixture of
blueing, glucose and. talcum powder is
considered an adulteration and wheth
er or not they do not require that every
bag of polished rice be branded, show
ing that ' It is so coated.
In Justice to yourself and-your fam
ily", ask any competent physician wheth
er or not a mixture of blueing, glucose
and talcum- powder taken lnt the
stomach is Injurious. We do not ask
yon to take our word for It, but we
are willing to leave it to entirely dis
interested authorities. : " i
-The f Ight. against aflulterated food
products he's only begun and In the near
future the wholesale or' retail grocery
man that handles adulterated articles
will find that he has no foundation to
stand on, for the consumer is going
to DEMAND UNADULTERATED prod
ucts. Rice is fast becoming a staple
food In . this country and it is a crime
to Impose upon the Ignorance of the
consumers by giving them an Injurious,
adulterated article. :,.
Put "CRYSTAL RICE" to any, test
you wish and we guarantee that you
will find It all we claim it to be, strict
ly an Imported, high . grade, un
polished and unadulterated rice. Our
reason for packing "CRYSTAL RICE"1
In cartons under a registered brand Is
to protect the consumer against the In
ferior substitutes, which some grocersJ
call "Just as good," and In order to
give them an absolutely pure article In
a more sanitary form, : , . .
If your groceryman Won't' supply you
with "CRYSTAL RICE." give us your
address and we will see that you get It,

otherwise.
