this locality from the Co-operative

QUALITY.
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. People who

would be foolish to cheat themselves
by shortweighing merchandise. Con

two weeks in the grasshopper and

to come in from the desert to molest
gardens and crops.
The campaign opened July 3 with
