misunderstanding as to the term
‘White Vinegar’. While vinegar is
a misnomer and all such should be
labeled ‘Distille 1 Vinegar’. If it be

dealers will be violating the law, as
we recognize by the term vinegar a
product derived fiom apples, un

Official Fure Food Notice
To Dealers Generally:
We have completed the examinas
tion of 65 samples of sausages,
collectrd in various parts of the
state. Eleven were mixed. Two
contained sulphite of soda. All
wtre on the retail market as pure
food products. I desire to call the
attention of dealers to the fact that
thej r are violating the law bj r such
a misrepresentation and in the future
will be prosecuted. Tbe most seri.
ous violation of the law is the
adding of chemical preservatives.
Parties are going around selling
preservatives under fanciful names
for meat and sausages. They repre
sen the substance as perfectly harm
less and complying with the pure
ood law. In nearly everv instance
the so-called substance is a chemical
preservative and in'urious to health.
We warn all dealers that they are
violating the law by the use of
such preservative*.

FOR CONGRESSMAN.
To the People of the Second Congressional
District;
This announces to you that I am a can
didate for Congress. I shall go t¥rect to
the people of this District in support of the
moral and political principles for which I
have heretofore actively and openly stood
in Georgia. As they have been endorsed
by the masses of this State and are being
enacted luto law by the lawmaking powers
of Georgia, so I believe they should be
fearlessly supported and advocated until
they are endorsed by the entire country
and written upon the Statutes of the Na
tion. Substantially the same evils which
have afflicted our State, no less and even
more afflict the Nation. At seasonable
times I shall with vinor and without com
promise go to the People, upon these Prin
ciples for endorsement and support.
