Two Very Poor Reasons

If some housewives inadvert-
emily use baking powder which
contains alum it is
Usually for two reasons-lack
of knowl edge as to what t q made
of or because it costs less than
a standard brand like DR.. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, viii ch Is made
from cream of tartar.
There Is no longer any reason
for lack of knowledge, since the
label on every baking powder can
shows in plain English just what
it contains. If the label on
your can names alum as one of the
Ingredients and you are in doubt
about its unhealthfulness your
doctor can enlig!;ten you.
AS to the lower cost, there is
very little difference in prac-
tica1 use, about one cent for a
whole cake or pan of biscuits-a
mere trif1e when you conside the
vast difference in healthfulness
in favor of food made with

TO ALL EMPLOYEES


Uniform courtesy ON the part
of employees who come in contact
with patrons of a railroad, is not
only a valuable asset of a company
but is one of the most effective
means of advertising today.
From the standpoint of a colr-
teous employe there should be no
such thing as foolish on stion.
people make inquiries because
they want information or to be
reassured on matter that may be
doubtful.
All questions should be an
swered willingly, courteously,
and specifically. no matter what
is asked or how often, reply
should be made fully and cheer
fully.
Especial attention should be
given by trainmen to the aged,
women and children travelling
unattended, and those not accus-
toned to travelling.
The general public forms its
op;ninon of the Company by the
treatment it receives from
emplo>.S. acourteous cmployc
makes friends for himself and
the Company.
C,ulteSy to patrons is essential
they appreciate and remember it
Be courteous at all times and
make friends for the railroads,
never permitting a Iatron to
leave dissatisfied.

HORSE SHOW
And Mid-Winter Fair
Denver jar. I, 1915.
TO the Editor.

There has been So many con-
Trajectory reports given out Re-
garding the Stock Snow for this
year, for your information, l de-
sire to state just what the facts
are.
We had our plans made for the
largest Stock Show ever held in
the west but fear of the foot-and
mouth disease had been spread
here to a very considerable ex-
tent SO our association felt COM
PEELED to abandon our Snow in
toto as far as the Western Stock
Show Association was concerned.
The United business organlza-
tons of Denver induced the Gen
tleman's Driving and Riding Club
to 20 ahead with the Horse Show
and such other features of the
Stock Show as would not possibly
involve any danger from disease.
The show this year will be
known as the National Horse
Show and Mid d-Winter Fair. and
the indications are that it will be
as interesting and important as
any Show held heretofore. 1t
will include a Horse Show, Poul-
try Show, Agricultural, Show,
Baby Show, Kennvl Show and an
Industrial Show. While there
will be no ribbons placed upon
cattle, plans have been made for
very important sales of western
cattle both in breeding stock and
in "feeders,' and apparently
there will be as much business
done in the Stock Yards as at the
annual show.
The people of Denver are ex-
ceedingly interested in building
up agriculture and live stock in
the west and the general feeling
is that anything that can be
done to keep this industry NOV
ing is worth while. They, are
spending large amount of mon
ey to make Show week a big
success and as every possible
safeguard has been thrown
around the event you can assure
YOUR people that there will be no

danger from cattle contaglon.
As a matter of fact, there will be
no eastern cattle at the Show
this year.
l am writing this letter for
your information and to bespeak
for the Gentlemen's Driving and
Riding Club the same kindly con-
sideration you have given our an
nual Stock Show lin the past.
The low railroad rates are con-
tinued and we expect to have a
number of important conventions
held here during Show week.
Very truly yours.
Fred. P. johnson,
Secretary.
Denver. Colo. The United
States Government will be ottic-
tally represented at the fifth An
nual Convention Of the Colorado
Good Roads Association to be
held in Denver, January 20 and
2l. C. H. Kendall, Senior High
way Engineer of the Federal
Good Roads Department has been
designated BY Secretary of Agri-
culture Lane as the representa-
tive to be present at that conven-
tion, This information was con-
tanned in a telegram to President
E. E. Sommers from Senator
Charles S. Thomas in Washing
ton.
Calls have also been issued for
the annual meeting of the North
Range Gateways Association to
be held in Denver on the evening
of January 10. and for the meet
ing of the Lincoln Highway AS
sociation of Colorado, the Pike
Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway,
which will convene in the Alba
nv Hotel, Denver, On the night
of January 20. 1t is also likely
that a meeting of the State Auto
mobile Association will be held at
the same time.
Other good road organic zAtIons
will also likely hold meetings dur
ing tke same week, and from
present indications the annual
convention of the Colorado Good
Road Association will be most
largely attended. The railroads
has given three dates Of sales.
viz: January II. IS, and 20 while
return limit has been fixed for
the 26th.
The sessions of the convention
will be held at the Albany Hotel
and the first session will convene
at 10 O'Clock on the morning OF

mer will probably be the princi-

mittee on rules ard the members
agreed to hep him out.
About that time the railroads
and express companies discover
ed that there was something
doing" and they began firing in
protest to the Committee on Rules
and to the members of Moons
committee. Revolutionary
was the mildest term they used
describing the Tennesseeian's
tactics. But he only smiled, and
maintained the even tenor of his
way.
On December 18th the special
rule" was reported to the House
1t had been made broad enough
to cover not only the railway
mail pay issue but otherlegislatior
dislred by the postmaster general
The opponents of the prop
osition devoted themselves
largely to those side issues and
did their best to make the
molehills assume the proportions
of mountains.
HOW THE RULES WAS
KILLED.
At the conclusion of the
rollcall it was apparent that the
rule had carried but before the
result was announced thirty or
forty members crowded down to
the clerks desk and change their
votes from Yea" to NAY" and
the rule was beaten 149 to 130,
Then it was that John Austin
Moon lost his temper. Nothing
like it has been witnessed in the
House during this Congress.
Here is mild sample of the
things he said.
Gentlemen, like Craven
towards, destroying every yes
tigs of respect that a decen;
Democrat chould have, follow the
lead Of the Republican party.
For what? Was it at the
command Of the rural carriers?
was it at the command of the
postmasters? Or tell me. was
it at the command Of the railroads
of this country? Do you want
them still to plumber the treasury?
/ think more of my country
than I do of the. Democratic
party and if we are to returu to
the 65th Congress a bomocratic
majority then, in the name of
God, let it be Of Democrats who
stand for the republic and not
for the rai,road.''
He went on in that strain for
half an hour.
Moon has lost his" head
said some.
He will he lucky if he is not
removed as chairman of the
committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, saiG others.
He is doing the one thing
which may save the day. was
the comment of u shrewd observ-
cr.
And 50 it proved, for on the
following day the committee on
rules brought in the same old
rule. modified insofar as some of
the "side issues were concerned
but intact on the question of
railway mail pay and it was
adopted--17l to- 81.
When the result was announced
John Austin Moon arose. He
was once more the rentle, courte-
Gus Southern gentleman.
M. Speaker, he said," my
feeling has been most kindly
toward all, and if the feelings of
any member were hurt by the
speech delivered yesterday /
am very glad to apologize.
That closed the incident, so
| far as the official record is
concerned.
The buck" has been passed
to the Senate. Soon we will
know, to paraphrase Moons
remarks. whather the upper

From Colorado.

lost his temper and won his case.
It was a big case, too, for it
involved the saving Of ten million
dollars in the annual cost of trans
porting mail over the railroads Of
the United States.
John Austin Moon, Congress-
man from Tennessee, chairman
of the House Committee on Post
Office and Post Roads is a gentle
Cultured Southern gentleman,
but vixen he takes the bride off
his temper he becomes a human
tornado that drives all opposition
to the cyclone cellar.
About a year ago, Judge Noon
brought before the House bill
changing the method of compen-
sating the railroads for carrying
the mails. At the time described
the measure in one of my letters.
Briefly, it compelled the rail-
roads to carry parcel post pack
ages for about the rates they
chaaged for handling express
packages and effected other i'm
rortant economies.
Under the existing arrange
ment we have a limited parcel
post. T:1c government can COM
pete with the express companies
for shorte distar ces up to about
15) m;les-but on the lag nllls
the express trust has the advant-
age, because it pays the railroads
abo1f one half the amount charg-
ed Uncle Sam.
The moon bill went through
the House without serious trouble
The Express trust and the rail-
roads planned to make their fight
in the Senate. Evidently they
knew what they were out, for the
bill was quietly chucked in pig
eonhole and no amount OF pres
sure from the post Office depart
ment could force it onto the 11ool
of the Senate. In the meantime
the railroads began a vigorous
campaign through the press and
commercial organization against
the principle Of the Moon bill.
Congress,was swamped with res
olutions and editorials denounc-
ing the measure, but no oIe at
tempted to explain why the
roads should be paid more for
carrying an express package for
the government than they re
ceived for the same service from
the express trust.
AFLANKING MOVEMENT I.
After vain'y giving the Senator
every opportunity to act. Judge
Moon decided to turn the enemy's
flank.
Every year Congress must pass
an appropriation bill to provide
for the expenses of the post office
d apartment AMI Judge Moons
committee prepares the bill. Why
not attach the railway-mail-pay
bill to the appropriation bill as q
'rider'',- argued Judge Moon,
and thus force the Senateto face
the issue squarely. The members
of his committee liked the idea,
but they found themselves up
agai:st a very formable snag'.
Under the rules of the House
any new legislation in an appro-
priation bill can be knocked out
by any member who sees fit to
make a point of order against it.
