The associations of policyholders of
the New York Mutual and New York
Life are actively at work to secure the
proxies of the policyholders, the pri
mary pur|K>so for which I lie associa
tions were organized. The associations
have beeu unable to secure a list ol'
the pol icy holders, as the companies
refuse to give the lists even to such
an organization, and this position has
been sustained by the courts us prop
er in a recent decision. Hence the
associations have had to appeal to the
policyholders through the press.
The .Mutual Life Policyholders ' as
sociation has sent out the following:
"Policyholders of the Mutual Life

president, and Mr. F. TT. McMastcr of

as a trustee of the company, and it is
the purjM?se of the South Carolina as
sociation to ha^e him represent their
interests at the annual meeting in
New York of the Mutual Life Insur
ance Company on the first Monday in
June. To cover the necessary expens
es of the association a membership fee
of $1 is asked.
"As the Mutual Life Insurance
t unpany has declined to furnish a list
of its policyholders in South Carolina,
letters cannot be sent directly t < > the i
policyholders; but all who hold poli
cies in tliis company are requested to
let tluit fact be known to the secretary '

The New York Life- Policyholders'

Following the instructions of (1- ? as

tee of the New York Life i'olirvhold
ers' Protective Association has en
deavored to secure the proxies of the
]Hdicyhohlers of the company in South
Carolina for the pur|>osc of having
them represented at the annual meet
ing in Nt?w York in April. Immedi
ately after the formation of the asso
ciation an official request was made
by the president of the association
for a list of the ]>olicyholders in thi
State and after eorresj>oiideitee with
the home office it is evident that we
cannot secure such a list from the
company. Meanwhile the agents of
the company have been instructed t<
secure proxies in the name of Messrs.
Straus, Clalliti and Maek.uy of New
York and many of the policyholder
oi the company in this State have giv
en their proxies to the agents in tin
lijtine of these gentlemen. While de
siring to work in accord with the offi
cials of the company so long as (licit
etTorls are ilirected to the .*oux*rva
tion of the interests of the policy
holders, the executive commit tec con
siders that the original ]?lan of the as
sociation should he adhi red to ami
that the policyholders in onier to 1 ?#?
fully protected, should give (licit |
proxies to the three trustees selected
by the commit tee in accord with the
resolution of the meeting held on tin

NEW FOOD LAW
Peopio now demand the right to
know exactly what they oat.
To bo told by maker or retailer that
the food is "pure" is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain "pure" white clay
or "pure" dyes and yet be very harm
ful. Syrups may contain "pure" glu
cose and yet bo quite digestible and
oven beueflcial. Tomato catsup may
contain a small amount of salicylic or
boraeie acid as a necessary preserva
tive, which may agree with one and bo
harmful to another.
Wheat flour may coutain a portion o(
corn flour and vcnlly bo improved.
Olive oil may be made of cotton seed
oil. Butter may contain beef suet and
yet be nutritious.
The por&on wbo buys and eat* mu-t
protect himself and family, and be has
a right to. and now demands, u lnv%
nuder which he ran mnk?? inteillyn?
selection of food.
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and Koine passod by Stall
legislatures; many have boon offered
to Congress, but all thus far seotn ob
jectionable.
It has scorned difficult for politician.*
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would p rot cot the common people and
yet avoid liarm to honest makers uud
prevent endless trouble to retailers. No
government commission or ollicer l?a<
the right to tlx "food standards" to de
fine what the people shall and shall not
cat, for what agrees with one in ay not
agree with another and such act would
deprive tho common citizen of his per
sonal liberty. The Tostum Cereal Co..
I. til., perhaps the largest makers of
prepared foods in the world, have nat
urally a close knowledge of the needs
of the people and the details of the
business of tho purveyors, (the retalt
grocer) and. guided by this experience
have prepared a bill for submission to
Congress which is intended to accom
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch
as a citizen of the I!. S. has a right to
food protection even when he enters
another State It is deemed proper that
the gov't take control of this matter
and provide a national law to govern
all the States. A copy of the bill Is
herewith reproduced.
See. 1 governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed. !
or lit barrels, lx>xe?l or otherwise.
Sec. li governs the retailer, who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small ?iuantilies. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy ot' the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. anil Inasmuch as the re
tailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee of his selling the food as
it is represented to him whieh relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
I
The Posium Corral Co.. T.f <1 . . for ex- 1
ample. have from tin; beginning of it-!
existence printed on (be outside of each
and every pkg. of T'ostum and Crape j
Nuts food h truthful and exact Htatc- 1
nuMit of wlint tlio contents were made
of in order that t lie consumer might
know precisely what lie or slie was en t -
in?. A person desiring to buy. for in
stance, strictly pure fruit Jelly and
willing to pay the price has a right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
<*ost but a further right to certainty
as to what lie eats. Or he may bo
willing to buy at less cost a Jelly made
part of fruit juices, sugar ami u portion
of glucose. Hilt he must be supplied
with truthful inlornnitlon of the Ingre
dients and bo permitted to use his per
sonal llbert y to select his own fond
accurately.
The people have allowed the slow
murder of infants ami adults, by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to yo
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family ami nation demands that every
man and wotuau Join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go per- I
soually to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in a mo>t
effective way tell him by letter how
you desire him to represent you.
Kctnember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent t lie people from
his district r.ml if n goodly number ol
citizens express the'.r views to hint, he
secures a very sure guide to duty. Ke
incmbcr n!?o tint the safety of the
people is njautod by instating that the
will of the people be carried out. and
not the machinations of the few for
seltiHi interests.
This pure food legislation in n pure
movement of the people for public pro- ,
tectioti. It will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by ?le
eelving and Injuring the people. There
fore, If your Representative in Con
gress evades bin patriotic duty hold him
to strict accountability and If necessary
demand equltal le and honest service.
This Ik a very different condition than
when a faction demands class legisla
tion of the Congressman. Several
years ago the butter Interests of the
country demanded legislation to kill
the oleomargarine industry and by
power of organization forced class leg
(illation really unworthy of a free peo
ple. Work people wanted beef ?u;-t
butter because it was cheap and better
than much unclean milk butter, but the
dairy Interests organized and forced the
legislation. The law should have pro
vided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear
the statement of Ingredients nud then
let peoplo who desire purchase It for
Just what It Is, and not try to kil! It by
a heavy tax. Manufacturers some
times try to force measures in their
own Interests but contrary to the In
teresta of tho people and tlie labor trust
is always active to push through lii!!s
ilrufted in the interest of that trust but
directly contrary to the interests of t lie
people as a whole. Witness the omi
injiinctlou bill by which labor unions
seek fo tie the hands of our courts an?l
prevent the issue of any oriler t-? re
strain the members of that trust from
attacking men or destroying properly.
Sueh a Itill is perhaps tin* most infam
ous Insult to our court* and the com
mon people ever laid before Congress
and the Representatives in Congress
must bo held to a s* ri?-t accountability
for their acts relating thereto. Itut
when bills come before Congress tl>at
are drawn in the interest of all the
people they should reeeive the relive i
personal support of the people and tlie
representatives be Instructed by t ie
