MRS. MACKAY WILL
INTRODUCE GOV. sHAFRoTH.

He viii Answer Many Questions Re-
gartling Woman Suffrage.
NEW YORK. N. ". Dec. S.-Mrs,
Clarence H. Mackay, president or the
Equal Franchise society, win this az
ternoon have the pleasure OF intro
dueing mere man and a governor
Of a great state. who is an enthusi-
astic advocate OF giving the ballot
to women. He is John f. Shafroth
chief executive OF Colorado, and he
has come ali the way from Denver to
speak before Mrs. Mackay's society at
the Garden theatre this afternoon.
He served several terms In congress
before his election as governor OF
Colorado. His home state Is one OF
those which have greeted the right
OF suffrage to the fair sex, 90 he win
speak as one having authority. He
will answer many questions common
ly asked as to the practical workings
Of woman suffrage.
This afternoons session is the FIRST
Of a series OF public meetings to be
held this winter by Mrs. Mackay's So
ciety. The next gathering Will be
on December Is, when Everett Col
by, the New Jersey reformer, will
be the principal speaker.
Mrs. Mackay has often showed her
self to be wise politician, and In
bringing Governor Shafrroth TO New
York she has executed a hank move
ment on the enemy. One OF the prin-
cipal arguments OF the ''antls" those
dogs in the manger" who don't want
TO vote themselves and who don't
want other women to do so, has been
the terrlble and perfectly awful con-
ditions prevailing in the states where
suffrage for women is already a fact.
Colorado especially is held up as a
horrible example. and every crime
and misdemeanor committed in the
state has been laid by the ''antiB" at
the doors of the feminine voters. Mrs
Mackay believes that this afternoon 3
address by Governor Shaffroth will
be sufficient answer to these critics

Representative Austin stated that
the United States was far behind all

thinks there should be a bureau as
urged by Douglas but wants the pres

large appropriation for the continu-
alton of an experimental work pro-
vided for by the last congress which
appropriated $4,000.

aliaed all freight traflc ON all Of the
railroads In this section.
According to yesterdays announce

pany closed this morning and II is
estimated that 45OO men are idle as
q result. The situation in this sec
ton is very alarming.
Special silk Train Goes Out.
SEATTLE. Wash, Dec. s.-The
! switchmen's strike attracted little at
tention In Seattle today. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sent
out their passenger trains on time,
the switching being done by non
union crews. All men with railroad
experience who applied for switch
mems places were engaged and put
under instruction. The operating
officials say that the strikers whose
time checks have been made out will
be taken back only as new men.
The Great Northern had no difi-
Guilty in making up and sending out
last night Its special silk train that
carried the MInnesotas rich cargo to
New York. The Northern Pacific ran
local freight trains between Seattle
and Tacoma. The strikers spent the
day at labor headquarters, protesting
the utmost confldeLse, and the oper-
ating officials of the railroads con-
tinued to declare that freight SER
vice would be restored next week
by the employment of new men. With
the Milwaukee and Columbia & Pu-
get Sound railroads in operation, be-
sides steamer service, Seattle does not
expect shortage of any of the nee
essaries of comfort.
The railroads still refuse to ac-
cept freight except subject to indef-
mite delay.
Engine Crews Not Asking More.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. 3.-Gener-
al Manager Slade Of the Northern
Pacific and General Manager Gruber
Of the Great Northern denied today
a story from Spokane that engineers
and firemen of their respective sys-
TENS have demanded an advance in
wages.
Mr.. Gruber said the engineers and
firemen asked for a conference with
the general managers committee in
October. soon after the switchmen
had asked for their conference. but
that no individual demands had been
made on the two roads.
Shortly after the switchmen ask
ed for a conference with a committee
OF the general managers. said Mr..
Gruber, the engineers and firemen
asked for a similar conference, and
It then was agreed that after DEFER
ences between the switchmen and
the railroads were adjusted their
cases would be taken up.
Engineers and firemen have made
no demands for higher wages, eth
er upon the Great Northern or the
Northern Pacific. In fact. they do not
wish to do business in that way.
They want whatever action is taken
to be general. The same procedure
will be followed as in the case Of
the switchmen. In their case a lar
ger territory than that covered in
the switchmen's controversy would
be involved"
The statement that a new sched-
ule was being prepared at the Great
Northern ofiices was declared by Mr..
Gruber to be untrue.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis, Couple.

II doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions OF things. New ideas
often lead to better health. success
and bappiReEs.
4 Wis. couple examined On idea
now to them and stepped up aeveTal
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
"6eyerAl years ago we suffered
from coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow. weak, and irritable.
My wife and both loved coffee and
thought 1t was bracsr." (delusion)
Finally, after years OF suffering,
we read OF Postum and the harmful
ness OF coffee. and believing that to
grow we should give some attention
to new ideas, we decided to test Pos
tum.
When we made 1t right we fixed
1t and were relieved OF ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden.
but relief increased as we continued
to drink and enjoy Postum, and we
lost the desire for coffee.
Many OF our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make 1t right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg. until It was dark and rich they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's
