Many pure food bills have been In
troduced and some passed by State leg
islatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable.
1t has seemed dificult for politicians
to formulate q satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or ofncer has the
right to fix food standards" to define
what the people shall and shall not eat.
for what agrees with one may not
agree with another, and such act would
deprive the common citizen Of his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co, Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
OF prepared foods in the world, have
naturally . close knowledge Of the
needs OF the people and the details Of
the business of the purveyors (the re-
ence have prepared q bill for submis-
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as a citizen Of the U. s. has q
right to food protection even when he
enters another State, 1t is deemed
proper that the govt take control Of
this matter and provide q national
law to govern all the states A copy
of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. / governs the maker whether
the food is put up in small packages
sealed. or In barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. governs the retailer who may
open barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also

of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
guarantee of his selling the food as it
Is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws 1t
upon the maker, where 1t properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. Of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact state
ment of what the contents were made
of in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy, for
instance, strictly pure fruit Jelly and
willing to pay the price has right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost. but a further right to a certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be will

EARNINGS Never 90 Great.

So far as the railway world Is con-
cerned. not at any time in the present
decade were reports of earnings, as
received last week. more calculated
to inspire enthusiasm on the part OF
holders of securities. One after, an
other of our great railroad systems
submitted returns for the third week
Of February and for the month OF
January, showing engagements In
gross and net revenues varying from
the Pennsylvania's huge increase III
net in January OF nearly $1,50O.0 900,
to increases Of rarely less than 5000,
900 in other instances. The specially
gratifying feature of all these reports
was the relatively large augmenta
ton Of net earnings. Railway oper-
ating expenses have SO fallen, It
seems, that the roads are able to
save a much greater portion compare
lively OF their gross receipts than
they did a few months ago. For this
it is admitted that the open winter
has in part been responsible; and as
the open winter. too, has fostered
building operations through the u
try, and the conduct Of all forms OF
business usually suspended or tmped-
ed at this season. the tonnage OF the
railroads has been greatly increased.

it a great Improvement in the method

can operate any Of them at will. This
Is done without the necessity OF using

along the road. all he has to do Is to
turn the indicator on a dial In his Of

The Santa Fee has closed u contract
with a number OF the Indians OF the
New Mexico and Arizona reservations
to work on the Santa Fe coast lines.
The coast lines have used a large
amount OF this class o labor. It has
proven satisfactory and II can be said
for the Indian OF New Mexico aud
Arizona that the Santa Fe prefers
him as a laborer to any other In con-
struction and grading work. In the
past the Indians who have been EN-
ployed on the coast lines have been
working under contractors and the
majority OF these contractors have
managed to get the earnings OF the
Indian by putting attractive goods IN
the cOmmissary, which induced him to
spend all his earnings there. There
has also been more or less gambling
and whiskey selling going on at all
times in the Indian camps on railroad
work which has made It very unsat
isfactory to. the company and all
concerned. Under the govern
ment supervision the one point that
has always been sought for is to get
the Indian to save his money as far
as possible and the government COM

servations, will be employed by the

Comforting on Pacific Route.

MMH " w
President B. L. Winchell OF the
Rock Island system Is en- route to
Los Angeles from Chicago in his
private car, accompanied BY several
officials Of the road. H. y. Nudge,
second vice-president and general
manager Of the system, has been In
California several weeks. He left
this city for San Francisco a few days
ago and now Il In that city. It Is ex-
pected that he will return to Los An
geles to meet and confer with the
president and other officials Of the
system. The gathering Of men who
shape the destinies Of the system Is
supposed to mean the opening Of ac-
tivities relative to the extension OF
the line from Fl Paso to Benson. to
the coast. From a reliable source y
IL learned that the major portion Of
the material for the construction OF
the coast extension already has been
purchased, and that the officials OF
the system have been waiting the
beginning OF operations only until a
isfied that the waters OF the Colorado
soon would cease to flow into the
Colorado desert. There is a prob
ability that general offices will be
opened In this city soon. It will be
necessary to have a western head
quarters established before the actual
work Of construction Is begun and a.
Los Angeles Is to be the terminal
point, this city will be the most ad'
vantageous from which to direct the
work. Agents Of the company and
competent engineers have been look
ing over the possible routes to the
