INACCURATE NEW
WAY-BI
system
AFTER SEPT. tsT EXPRESS PACK.
AGES MUST BE LABELLED
PUBLIC HAS NO OPTION.

T. H. Rousseau, agent, states that
under orders from the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Southern Ex-
press Company in common with all
express companies in the United
States, will on September l, inau-
gurate a new way-billing system,
which requires the placing of labels
on each shipment. This new regula-
tion compels the express company to
require all shipments to be delivered
at the shipping office fully 80 minutes
before the departure of the train on
which the shipment is to be dis,
patched. This is given as the reason
for refusing to accept any billing in
structions over the phone or to do
any billing from script. AS it is an
imperative order and the public has nc
option except to adjust to it.

WAVING HIS HAT.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Harrisburg, Penn, Aug. 29.-Gover-
nor Woodrow Wilson did little stump
speaking in spite of himself today.
Not intending to make any but sched-
uled speeches he was greeted by such
big crowds at Lancaster and Harris
burg, he found himself making speech
es from both ends of his car, shaking
hands with hundreds and waving his
hat. "A crowd like this means busi-
ness" he told them. You are dis
covering not only that the government
ought to belong to you but that if you
will only hump yourselves it will be-
long to you"
Governor Wilson continued to Will
son Grove, where he delivered a
speech on the tariff.

WORK
OF PHILA7HEA
union
PREPARED TO SUPPLY SICK, IN
NEED, WITH TOWELS, BED
LINEN, ETC.

The Philathea Union some time ago
took up the work of securing a supply
of linen for use of the sick of the
city, and they now announce that
they are prepared to supply such
cases as are needy, with sheets, pill
low cases, towels and night robes free
of all COST These articles will re-
main the property of the Union and
will only be loaned to those who are
sick and in need.
Mrs. A. L. Jones, No. 900 Bay street,
will give attention to all applications,
and in order to obtain the use of these
supplies it will be necessary to obtain
card from Mrs. Jones, who, when
issuing it, will give instructions as to
where to get them.
The intention is to permit the free
use of these conveniences, and to ex-
change them as often as may be neces-
sary to keep the user with a clean
supply.
Several of the physicians in the city
have agreed to recommend the use of
these supplies in homes where there
is need for them, and in addition they
agree to give their services free to
such patients as the Philathea Union
recommend as needy. The Union
hopes by promoting this work to great.
ly improve the sanitation in sick
rooms, where the financial condition
of the patients makes it impossible to
supply sufficient changes of linen dur
ing sickness.

LOUIS BRANDEIS To
SPEAK FOR
WILSON

Seagirt, N. j., Aug. 29.-Trust legis-
lation, constructive rather than de-
structive, and immigration were
among the subjects to which Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson gave his atten-
tion yesterday. He talked about trusts
with Louis d. Brandeis of Boston,
and expressed himself on immigration
before a delegation of Italians from
Essex county, New Jersey.
Mr. Brandeis had luncheon with the
governor and declared as he left the
executive cottage that Governor Will
son was his idea of a progressive.
1--WE. discussed social and industrial
problems said Mr.. Brandeis, land
naturally the Sherman antitrust law.
We took up the La Follette-Lenroot
bill, the Oldfield bill and other meas
ures to amend the Sherman law, but
concluded that none of these went
far enough. Governor Wilson is a
constructive statesman able to solve
these problems and l found him in
accord with my views on the trust
question. We talked about the de
fects in the third party platform. II
was a talk about the best interests o.
the workingman."
Mr.. Brandeis said he probabl,
would make a number of speeches oI
behalf of Governor Wilson, discuss
ing the trusts and the tariff.

ATTACKED AT HOME.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 90
Governor Johnson, the vice-presiden-
tial candidate on the Progressive
party's ticket is arranging to leave
for the East where he will assist
Colonel Roosevelt in his campaign.
He goes under a fire of critisism
from some of his opponents regarding
alledged expenditures of the states
money for personal campaign uses.
1t is claimed that bills on file in the
office of the state controller disclose
the governors hand in diverting
state funds for the purpose of
strengthing his personal political
machine. During the past six month
of his administration Governor John
son filed with his claims against his
fund of $4,000 year for postage, ex-
pressage, telegraphing, travelling and
contingent expenses, the itimized bill
of the Western Union Telegraph
company against the Governors Of
flee. 1t is now claimed by political
opponents of Governor Johnson that
thegrams were sent to politicians in
various parts of the country and
state for personal purposes and the
state paid the bills. The friends Of
Governor Johnson say that his enc
mics are trying to make political
capital out of perfectly legitimate ex-
ecutive matters, and that he can give
an account OF every message sent or
trip taken, expense for which he has
filed with the state.

There is no man In this country
who more shrewdly and intelligently

Is now fighting for and what It would

when he Is nominated by the next ma
tional Democratic convention we are
going to have the best and most efec-
tive public-speaking candidate this
country ever saw. He VIII rally, arouse
and unite the national Democracy as
he rallied, reused and made effective
in solid phalRnx the Democrats Of the
house, and just Is he won over Repub-
lcan aid in the house, he will win
many thousand Of voters who never
before cast q Democratic ballot.
Another thing pleasant TO think
about in the event Of his election is
that he will carry with him q sympa-
thetic congress. It has happened sew
eral times that the presidents have
failed to set along with congress, large
" because they had never had con-
.gressional experience. That was the
foundation Of ClsVeland's troubles.
Champ Clark has had Is years Of this
kind Of experience, and no man In eth

knows congressman. They under

IN FULL
It is perfectly certain that the Demo
cratic battle Of 1912 must be fought
upon the record and achievements OF
the slxty-second congress.
The landslide which elected Six gov
srnors and forty.seven congressman IN
1910 was not an expression OF conn.,
dance in the Democratic party. 1t was
essentially an expression Of disapproV-
nj and distrust Of the Republican party.
As a result, the Democratic party came
into power distinctly on trial-to be
measured by its achievements, to be
reckoned upon its worth, to be reward
I'd for its fidelity, or to be con-
demned for its failure to meet the pop
nlaf will.
The record Of the house majority IN
the sixty-second congress is without q
superior in our modern legislative an
mails for unity, conference, defniteness
and practical achievement The Dem
ocratic party has never had such an
efIective fighting machine. AS a re-
suit Of the extra session, called by the
Dresident to pass the reciprocity BILL
tha Democratic majority passed swift
IIv and smoothly, and yet with perfect
harness and deliberation, every single
hin that its platform pledges promised
Ito the American people. As a fighting
IDIatform for the campaign Of 1912 1t
is faW;ess and complete. No party
ever went with \ better record to
ask the ballots Of the American peo-
pie. .,o
ocratic majority is as much or more
the product of Champ Clark than OF
any other single individual. 1t Is
ouite true that Oscar Underwood, as

color was now ruddy and clear, his
spirits light, and his health excellent.
Death bread" he said. laid me

tic for ten long. sad years. And lie
bread has made me my own buoyant.
healthy. happy self again.
What do mean by death bread !!
I mean ordinary bread. Why do | call
It death bread? Because 1t is alive
with putrefactive germs-because. by
more than one authority. the yeast
cells in 1t are said to be Identical
with the diseased cells Of pus--and,
therefore. are poison.
Yeast, in fact, Is as unhealthy as
Its sickly smell and musty. Shiny con-
| sistency would ieai you &c behave.
It is a mass OF living germs-and
along with these are mingled putre'
factive germs. Yeast is very harm.
full thing. 1t makes bread very
harmful thing. All bread made with
yeast is death bread.
"Life bread-that is what ! eat.

It over hot fire in a thick iron sauce

| minutes-my life bread Is done.
Each grain Of this life bread Is
loaf. a miniature. delicious loaf,
brown and crisp. that falls to powder
on being bitten. Life bread must DC
kept in alright tins. 1t is the health
lest, the most nourishins. and the
! best.flavured bread in existence. But
It must be confessed that the loaves
are rather small"
