own interests but contrary to the in
terests of the people and the labor trust
is always active to push through bills
drafted in the interest of that trust but
directly contrary to the interests of the
people as whole. Witness the anti
injunction bill By which labor unions
seek to tie the hands of our courts and
prevent the issue of any order to re-
strain the members of that trust from
attacking men or destroying property.
Such bill is perhaps the most infam-
GUS insult to our courts and the COM
mon people ever laid before Congress
and the Representatives in Congress
must be held to a strict accountability
for their acts relating thereto. But
when bills come before Congress that
are drawn in the interest of all the
people they should receive the active
personal support Of the people and the
representatives be instructed by the
citizens. The Senators also should be
written to and instructed. If, there

Fashions for young girls are apt to
follow closely those of their elders.
although a certain simplicity should
always be preserved If the best re-
suits are to be obtained. Here is a
waist that is made after a quite novel
model and that is exceedingly chic and
charming, while also it allows a choice
of the high or low neck, so that 1t
serves double purpose. In the illus
tration it is made of white Shantung
with the yoke of heavy lace and frills
of lighter sort, exceedingly hand
some little buttons decorating the front
and sleeves. 1t is, however, equally
appropriate for all seasonable mate
rails, inasmuch as anything fashion
able is soft and can be made full with
perfect success. When the waist is
designed for evening wear, the pretty
sample Habutal silks and the like are
exceedingly charming, while for day
time occasions yelling, cashmere and
similar wool fabrics can be utilized
as we'll as silk.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing on which the yoke and the full
front and backs are arranged, and is
closed invisibly at the back. The,

edges, the shirrings being held in place

sonal liberty to select his own food

The people have allowed the slow
murder of infants and adults, by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go per-
sonally to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in most
effective way tell him by letter how
you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and if goodly number of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will of the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceIving and injuring the people. There

gress evades his patriotic duty hold him

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 and then
let people who desire purchase it for
just what it is, and not try to kill it by
a heavy tax. Manufacturers some

The Kasuga has four cannon which,

fire two shots per minute and each
shot costs $400. In five minutes, therea
fore, these four cannon can discharge
forty shots at cost Of $4,000. The
cost of the smaller cannon is $18,00Os

it is estimated that in five minutes
twelve cannon could spend $4,000.

selection Of food.
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State
legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress, but all thus far seem OBJ
jectionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers. No
government commission or officer has
the right to fix flood standards" to de-
fine 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 per-
sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, perhaps the largest makers of
prepared foods in the world, have nat
urally close knowledge of the needs
of the people and the details of the
business of the purveyors, (the retail
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 citizen of the U. s. has a right to
food protection even when he enters
another State it is deemed proper that
the govt take control of this matter
and provide 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, boxed or otherwise.
Sec. governs the retailer, who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was-affiXed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the re-
taller 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 it
upon the maker, where it 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 eat
ing. A person desiring to buy, for in

willing to pay the price has a right to
expect not only an equivalent for the

willing to buy at less cost jelly made

of glucose. But he must be supplied
with truthful information of the ingre-
dents and be permitted to use his per-

Mr.. C. A. Walker entertained
a few of his friends at a Stag

of his brother-in-law Mr.. Harry
Cox, of Denver, Col. Twenty
four deals Of duplicate whist
were played at four tables. Mr..

most skilful players at the great
game Of whist. After the game
the host ushered the guests in
to the dining room where a
Dutch Lunch awaited them.
one that would cause the most
arid mouth on earth to water.
The first course was the cele-
brated Mexican dish, Chilli
Con Carne, compared with
which a red hot stove is cool.
Mr.. Cox has travelled through
the Southwest quite extensive
ly and knows all about Spanish
dishes. The temperature of
this Mexican appetizer didn't
freeze Pa Hartman a bit, for, he
passed his plate for a second
helping, which proves that he
is hot stuff. Mr.. Walker served
tea to the gentlemen, which
was a novelty and appreciated
very much. This is an inova-
ton here and quite enjoyable.
"Best time of the year." was
the verdict of all, and they felt
under many obligations to Mr..
Walker for being remembered.
