HON. T. ]. HUDsoNs PENSION BILL.


Representative Hudson has INTRO
duced a "bill for the payment of pen
sions" which is being published by
several Of our papers, and by some it
is receiving favorable comment.
While concediDg to Mr.. Hudson the
best Of intentions in the introduction
of this bill, we are under the neces-
sity of dissenting from its provisions.
It will not be necessary to print the
entire bill in order to make clear the
objections to it. Mr.. Hudson's OBJ
ject in this bill is evidently to provide
a means to put more money in imme-
circulation, and IN this he is to be
commended His method, however,
is Objectionable. There are better
ways to accomplish this purpose.
Section 2 of the bill provides as fol-
lows:
That any person already receiving or en-
titled to receive pension under the laws
mentioned in the first section Of this act
shall be entitled to surrender his or her
certificate of pension now held by them, or
which may hereafter be received by them,
and shall receive in full payment for all
claims against the government for suoh
pension the amount of said pension oRlCu-
lated for ten years or ten times the annual
amount that they would draw under such
pension certificate.
There are many instances where
the trife received by the old soldier
upon his pension is about the only
money that comes into his hands.
He is old and disabled by wounds or
disease from pursuing any remunera-
tive occupation. The little he gets
from the government serves to pro-
vide him with such necesssries as he
requires, and in many cases it keeps
him out of the poor-house. 1t would
not be wise for him to surrender his
certificate and release all further
claims upon the government.
Then again soldiers who now re-
ceive small pension, and would be
entitled to a larger one as they grow
older and more infrm, would release
all further claim by the surrender,
under the provisions of this bill, OF
the small certificate they now hold.
It may be said that the soldier
would not be compelled to make this
settlement. It is a voluntary matter.
While this is true, we know the temp
tstion to surrender future benefits
for ready money, and there is every
probability, especially during times
like the present, that majority Of
men would avail themselves of the
privilege of present and immediate
advantage to the sacrifice of future
comfort.
But there is another feature Of the
bill of a general character, which is
Objectionable as a measure OF public
policy. Sections 3 and 4 are as fol-
lows:
That the payment of such pension shall
be made in treasury notes or greenbaoks
issued for that purpose by the treasurer OF
the United States, which greenbacks or

On pleasant day in the early fall
A stranger rode into the town,
And stopping his horse in the public square
Glanced this way and that with frown,
For the place that he sought he could not lind

So he called to a lad who passed that way,
And said TO him: Sonny. come here,

"An right" he answered. quick witted
youth,
"Just turn up that street, sir, and go,
Till you come to another upon your right,
Then turn into that and keep on,
Till you come to another, turn right again,
And you'll see it quite plainly" said John.
So, thanking the lad, the stranger rode or
And John gave a hop, skip and jump,
For back came the stranger within trice,
Brought up-at the old town pump!
Here you are, SIR" said John with a smile,
The best drinking place to be found.
Take drink, sir, it's free, and you're vel.

It's good for your health, I'll be bound"
He took the glass in good-natured way,
And drank of the water clear,
Then said: TITS an excellent drink, I'm sure,

So saying, he tossed the lad q coin
The lesson is worth that to me.

These are Facts

H0usekeepers Should Seriously C0naider:

If you want the best food, you will be interested
In the following facts, which show why "Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal-its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
It never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and Of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, so that mono
Of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-

knowledge and skill attained by over quarter Of
a century's experience is available in its present
preparation The consumer is not experimental
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get
mixture that will not cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu-
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday,
or last week or month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in can of Royal is
as good as the first other powders lose their
strength after being made short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
Of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
BY expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced
against the receipt into the works of an impure in
gredient; the care with which the materials are
dried, coated and prepared before their combra-
ton, and the precision in packing the powder SO
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make the
perfect Royal"
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been great many
limitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost
The great popularity and general use of the
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.
