NO FILLED MILK"
seems to be

Congress has specifically declared filled
milk 10 be AN adulterated article of food,
injurious TO the public health and fraud up
on the public, and has forbidden its sale.
Thus ends long fight between the manu-
facturcrs of this product, on ono side, and
the dairymcn, pure food champions and vari-
Gus Womeu'S organizations OH the other. The
big majority recorded for the new law SET
ties the matter dccisively
1t docs not seem ever to have been charged
that the filled milk, which is skim milk with
the butter lat replaced by conoanut oil, is
actively harmful 1t is not poisonous. Its
evils are of the negative sort. The cocoanut
oil. is pronounced lar less digcstible than
butter fat and thus not SO nutritious Tor
adults and quite ulStlitcd to the needs OF
small children For infants there is no prop
cr substitute for fresh milk except the scicn-
tihc compounds made by specialists in baby
diet. There is the additional objection that
consumers have often bought the filled milk
without knowing what it was and so have
been cheated however unintcntionaly
In some ways an absolute prohibition Of
the synthetic milk seems unfortunate 1t can
be made at half the cost OF ordinary eyapor-
ated milk, and it affords a use for skim milk
that otherwise often goes to waste 1t would
make cheaper milk for husky adults able to
digest 1t. But there is no possibility OF that
at present And perhaps it is just as we'll
There cannot be too much emphasis placed
ON pure milk OF the highest possible quality.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur
for restoring faded gray hair to
it's natural color dates back to
grandmother's time. She used it
to keep her hair beautifully dark,
glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that iull, faded
or streaked appearance. this sim
pie mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays. by
asking at any drug sotre for a
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get this
famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredi-
ents, which can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-knowh downtown drug
( sist says it darkens the hair SO
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You
I simply dampen sponge or soft
rush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at a
time. BY morning the gray hail
disappears, and after another ap,
plication or two, it becomes beau
tifully dark and glossy.-Adr.

600 to provide for the year, and
referendum OH the issue of $780,
100000 in bonds, with the proyi-
sion that 20 per cent Of the bond
issue be apportioned among the

OF NEW RAILROAD
VICE PRESIDENT ANSWERS
HARGE OF DUPLICITY
IN STRAIGHT FOR
WARD LANGUAGE
MEANS BUSI-
NESS

The charge is being made that the
promoters of the proposed new rail
road between Miles City and Casper
are trying to slip some thing over the
u~nsuspecting people of Wyoming.
The African in the woodpile is said
by their accusers to be a valuable
tract of land, the most valuable in
the world, in the Salt Creek oil fields
namely, section-36.
Persons in touch with the situation
are convinced that there is nothing
to the accusation and that the road
will be built regardless of whether
they acquire this land or not.
C. A. Owens, vice president of the
Company, replies to the charges in
a frank and specific fashion which
certainly has the ring of sincerity. In
a communication over his own sigma
ture, Mr.. Owens says:
"First-We have made no fixed
demands upon the state for any as
sistance. Neither have we made any
ultimatum as to bonuses, subsidies,
or emoluments from any community
Rather has it all been asked in a
spirit of cooperation, assuming that
the state at large realized the ire
mendous Importance in view of the
sectionalized condition of having a
north and south railroad.
"Second-The building of this road
has at no time been made contingent
upon the granting to us of a lease on
section 80 or any other concession.
1t is all a matter for the state to de-
eide.
"Third-All negotiations to date
in connection with this lease have
been on the simple premise Of the
lease being awarded absolutely on
the basis Of the best bid, the state to
receive all that could be reasonably
expected from any other source and
in addition thereto n railroad.
"Fourth-Our primary purpose in
bidding for this lease is and has been
to secure some independent oil pro-
duction to insure us profitable ton
mage to assist the railroad in its in

business along the new line to insure

money for the great statue of Buff
falo Bill being made by Americas
famous woman sculptor, Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney, started off with a
zip Monday, February 26th the Col
onel's birthday.
Flags fluttered from tall flag poles
and many business places were decor
ated, while a banquet with much
speechmaking at the Irma in the
evening and n dance afterwards at
the Temple Theatre finished the day.
kilograms came in from every
where, from al kinds of important
people, congratulating the people of
Cody and the Memorial Committee
upon their undertaking.
With the slogan "a buffalo nickel
for Buffalo Bill" the Boy Scouts of
Cody have already raised $50 toward
the sum it will require for the huge
monument to be erected on two
blocks west of town to be purchased
from the Lincoln Land Company with
money appropriated by the State,
5000, for a suitable memorial.
This plan, originated in Cody, will
be taken up by the Boy Scouts
throughout America and efforts to
this end are now being made by Prof.
Ralph Hardin and the local %organiza-
ton.
As n result of the interest shown
in Cody Day and the Buffalo Bill
Memorial, the town is receiving a
great mount of advertising in the
newspapers of the country.
In addition to the telegram receiv-
ed from President Harding, others
have been received from Theodore
Roosevelt, the New York City Camp
Fire Girls, Colin II. Livingstone, head
of the Boy Scouts, the Elks Club of
New York City, Horace NJ. Albright,
Stephen p. Mather, Clifford Pinchot,
governor of Pennsylvania, Rodman
Wanamaker of Philadelphia, James
II. Paul and Helen Cody Allen-all
congratulating Cody upon its action
in honoring the memory of its found
err in this manner
The resolution asking that Febru-
airy Goth, be made n holiday was
drawn up by f. J.. Sullivan of Casper
and introduced in the house by l.. Il.

%lature. II passed both the house and

The Buffalo Bill banquet in the
evening was given by the Cody Club
with Jane, Freddie and Billy Carlow,
grandchildren of the Colonies as
guests of honor. Afterwards the
Lions Club were hosts TO the public

THIS USELESS Or
~GANIZATION IN
WYO.

"Manikins" strutting about the
streets and in hotel Hobbies in their
uniforms, with no earthly excuse for
their existance except to win the APP
proval of the ladies and spend the
taxpayers money are the words in
which w. C. Deloney of Jackson
characterized the members of the
Wyoming National Guard and an
swered the request of Adjutant Cen
eral Esmay for an appropriation of
100000 to pay his own and his sub
ordinates salaries and maintain
troops throughout the state.
That his scathing denunciation of
this farcial institution as conducted
here in Wyoming, met with the ap-
prevail of his hearers was evidenced
by the sharp, spontaneous outburst
of applause from the galleries.
Rep. Ben Scriven of Green River
who followed Mr.. Deloney was equal
ly vehement, and also was loudly ap-
plauded when he declared in a voice
ringing with indignation, "No, not
seventy-five. cents-not one nickle
will I give to support these tin SOL
diers."
Both of the speakers had served in
the Spanish America war and their
experiences had been similar, each
told how officers of the regular army
had been forced to serve under these
national guardsmen, some of them
just out of school, with results dis
.asterous to the men they commanded
They were the poorest timber avail
able, with their smattering of train
ing and feelings of importance, de-
clared the speakers. A raw recruit
was far better material, and they had
proved it in the world war when,
willing to do what they were told,
they event right through 'em"
The house of representatives. re-
duced the appropriation asked for to
$4,000 but the senate, considerably
more generous with the taxpayers
money, raised it to $4,000, $4,000
more even than had been asked.
There was also a deficit of $4,000
in the Adjutant Generals office, the
payment of which IA approved by
