New Bulletin
Explains Food
Stamp Issue
You’ve probably heard
that the Food Stamp Pro
gram might help you stretch
your food dollar. But have
you wondered just how the
program works and whether
you can qualify?
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) has a
new publication that gives
you a complete guide to the
Food Stamp Program. For
your free copy of the Food
Stamp Program write to
Consumer Information Cen
ter, Dept. 75, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
The booklet includes the
following:
You purchase food stamps
by paying a sum of money
based on your family size and
net monthly income. Then
you receive food stamps that
are worth more than the
money they cost. You can
spend food stamps like
money at authorized food
stores.
To find out if you meet the
regular eligibility standards
for food stamps, the head of
your household should go to
the local welfare office. And
take along papers that show
the following:
Where you live; how many
are in the household and how
much money is received each
month; how much the
household is paying for
doctor’s bills and rent.
When the household is
certified, the welfare office
tells you how much you will
have to pay for food stamps,
how many stamps you will
get, and if you or members of
your household must register
for work. The total amount of
food stamps you receive
depends on how many people
are in the household.
How do you use food
stamps? Well, anyone in your
household can take the food
stamp book to an authorized
food store and use the stamps
like money to buy food. You
can use food stamps to buy
almost any food or seeds and

Of all patent medicine
advertising schemes—this
one takes first prize.
Yang, a patent medicine
merchant of Shanghai, made
a fortune from a son -
producing tonic to expectant
mothers.
With sons in China being
considered much more valu
able than girl babies he had a
ready market.
Your money refunded, if
you do not have a son,” he
claimed. Half of the ladies
who took his tonic did not get
the desired results. Yang
cheerfully refunded their
money when they returned
the empty bottle. The other
half who had sons were
delighted, and sang Yang’s
praises far and wide.
How did Yang fare? He did
well! He was selling pure
water with a dash of
flavoring.
The Pure Food and Drug
law in the United States
controls the false claims of
patent medicines, and sees
that the American people get
what they buy.
