A great deal has been lately writ ten about the heartless way in which unscrupulous manufacturers take advantage of the consumers’ ignor ance and release on the market ad ulterated and, in some cases, dan gerously poisonous foodstuffs, patent medicines, beauty preparations and the like. Thousands of lines of space in li beral and labor publications have been devoted to exposing, these rac keteers who trade on the health and well-being of American citizens. Many books have been published on the subject—books that have occa sionally become best sellers. First through the Tugwell bill, and now through the very mild and virtual ly toothless Copeland bill, attempts have been made to afford the con sumer through federal legislation at least some measure of protection against medical quacks and food- adulterating processors. While most of this shooting at fa kers and food adulterers is undoubt edly done with good intent, the shots do not find the mark for the simple reason that the battle is directed against effects and not the underly ing causes. We have no quarrel with the pure- food advocates who write books and draft legislative bills, yet it seems to us that their way of coping with the situation Is not the most effec tive. After reading a book or an article that tells in plain English that such and such a tooth paste is deadly poison, or that "Jones’ Sure T. B. Cure” Is just ordinary lard, the consumer may for a few days carefully select the commodities he buys, but in a month’s time he’ll forget all about the article and go about the business of living much as he did before. .This happens be cause these books and articles, in the main, do not expose the real causee for the sorry state of affairs nor suggest any real tangible reme dy. In other words, they stir up the , need for action in the consumer but fall to show him an effective way in which to change things. There Is, however, a method that In actual practice has proven itself a very effective protection against food adulteration and fakery. It is efroctive because it attacks the basic causes of such practices, not mere- ly the effects. That method to con sumers’ eo-operation. Instead of on ly talking about the problem or counting upon laws that might give partial protection to the consumer, the advocates of this method go af ter the roof of the evil, the profit motive in production and distribu- tion of commodities.

CO-OPERATION, A GUARDIAN OF PAGE THREE THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1935. BIOLOGICAL SURVEY AIDS IN PEST CONTROL CAMPAIGN HERE Elbert H.
