346 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



League Fund to be Used to Distribute Leaflets "Honey as Food 



and Medicine." 



Platteville, Wis., yVugiist 18th, 1913. 

 Editor Review : 



The League Fund Committee has decided to place in the hands 

 of honey producers those valuable leaflets "Honey as Food and Med- 

 icine." They contain many receipts for baking", making candies, etc. 



They will be ready soon for bee-keepers to distribute among 

 their customers and neighbors, thus creating a demand for honey. 

 I am advised to ask bee-keepers to pay the postage on these valu- 

 able booklets, but that will be so little compared to cost of book 

 and its help in creating home markets, that every bee-keeper should 

 gladly give them a trial. Am asking for a little space in the Review 

 to call attention to this booklet, how it will sell producer's honey at 

 home, thus giving him a growing home market. 



Members of the National Bee-Keepers' Association can have 

 these booklets free by paying postage. A small charge will be asked 

 of those not members. 



When we have used the $604 now in the hands of the Com- 

 mittee in thus advertising honey, certainly this will have created a 

 better demand for honey and filled the League Fund intention. 



Yours truly, 



N. F. France. 



(It would seem as if the League Fund Committee had made a 

 wise choice in selecting those "Honey as Food" leaflets for free dis- 

 tribution among the members and their customers. If the balance 

 of the League Fund can be used in this way, as Chairman France 

 says "it will fill the League Fund intention," so those contribut'ng 

 this fund ought to be well pleased. We hope Chairman France will 

 have more to say about these booklets in time for the October 

 Review. According to a late ruling of President Gates, subscribers 

 of the Review will be entitled to these booklets the same as mem- 

 bers of the Association).
