THE FREAK LEGISLATOR

Every year sees the introduction
of freak bills into the legislatures
of one or more states, but the
spring of 1915 seems to have cap
ped the climax. The freak legis-
lators have run mad. Hardly a
state has escaped. 1t is the fashion
OF the press to poke fun at Kansas,
which may be depended upon to
come to the front with something
foolish in the way of legislation.
And although the Sunhower state
has lived up to her glowing reputa-
ton In the present session, her
companions in the sorority of states
have not fallen far behind. Most
or the new laws have been intro
duced for the purpose of prohibit
ing something or other. Here are

WHEN the County Option law
was passed, the question of expense
in the matter of the elections was
lost sight of in the general dis
cussion of the issue itself. Now,
however, the Anti-Saloon league IS
facing criticism, for it is learned
that the cost of these elections to
the state will be about $265, 900,
and many persons are objecting to
the increased taxation which will
be necessary to meet the situation
In one county alone, where there
are only two saloons, the cost of a
county option election will be
about So, 500. Opponents of the
law in some counties are asking
the Anti-Saloon league to pay the
cost Incidental to the measure il
fathered.

SEVERAL goody-goody people
are getting all fused up over the
1O-round boxing bill now before
the legislature. The bill has fol
its object allowing scientific boxing
matches throughout the state.
These same people will chortle
with glee oyer football struggle
where gouging, kicking and every
thing else is resorted to in the ef-
fort to win. Boxing is a manly
pastime that tends to up-build
character and the art of taking care
of yourself in young men. The
man who can take care of him
self is usually the last man to pick
a fight.

False Econonv

Perhaps you use an alum baking
powder because you think it is
cheaper and theref ore more eco
nomi cal. But is it?
Leading food experts and medi-
cal authorities have for years
declared that alum baking powders
are not safe to be used. The
chief European nat ions prohibit
them altogether.
Can it be truthfully said that
an rticle Of food SO generally
condemned is economi cal at any
price?
Royal Baking Powder, which is
made from cream of tartar, adds
only healthful qualities to the
food.
The difference in cost Of
pan Of biscuits or of a cake made
with Royal Baking Powder as COM
pared with cheap alum or phos-
plate Of lime powders is about one
cent, viii CHI is surely too small an
amount to warrant the risk.
