[ILL-L] Can anyone help find this early tract?

[Mary Lehane]

NUC Pre-1956 is located, helpfully, just outside our office and, after 
blowing off the dust, I had a look by both corporate author and by 
title. No luck. There are several entries for American Purity Alliance, 
and the Library of Congress appears to hold things like their annual 
report and periodical publications, if that's any help.
