PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Washington, Dec. 2. For the fourth time since his inauguration, President Wilson today personally addressed a joint session of the house of representatives and senate of the United States. The lawmakers gathered for the occasion in the representatives' chamber, whither tie senators marched, two by two, with Vice President Marshall and Sergeant- at Arms Biggins in the lead. President Wilson arrived at the capitol by automobile, directly from the White House. Vice-President Marshall and Speaker Clark had been named as a commltteo of two to re ceive him. Meeting him at the en trance to the chamber, they escorted him to his place beside the (peak er's desk, where, standing easily be fore the gathering, much like a pro fessor addressing his class, he read his message in the clear, cultured ac cents with which, since he assumed office, the lawmakers have grown so well acquainted. He remained only long enough to finish the message, bowed courteously to the legislators, left the chamber, escorted, as he had entered, by Marshall and Clark, and motored back to the executive man sion. The following Is a synopsis of the message as delivered by tho presi dent: "The country, I am thankful to say, Is at peace with all the world. More and more readily do the na tions manifest their willingness ' to bind themselves by treaty to the pro cesses of peace. So far the United States has stood at the front of such negotiations. She will, I hope and believe, give fresh proof of her ad herence to international friendship by ratifying the several treaties of arbitration awaiting renewal by the senate. One Cloud on Horizon "There Is but one cloud upon our horizon. That hangs over Mexico. There can be no certain- prospect of peace In America until General Huer ta has surrendered his usurped au thority; until it Is understood that such pretended governments will not be countenanced by the United States. "I turn to matters of domestic concern. "You have under consideration a bill for the reform of the currency system,, for which the country waits as for something fundamental to Its whole business life. I need not say how earnestly I hope for its early en actment into law. Urges Farm Credit System "I present to you In addition the urgent necessity that special provi sion be made for facilitating the cre dits needed by the farmers. They need and should obtain legislation which will make their own abundant and substantial credit resources available as a foundation for joint, concerted local action in their own behalf In getting the capital they must use. Systems of rural credit have been developed on the other side of the water, while we left our farmers to shift for themselves. You have but to look about you ln any rural district to see the handicap and embarrassment which have been put upon those who produce our food. "I hope and believe that the com mittees of the senate and house will address themselves to this matter with the most fruitful results. "Turn from the farm to the world of business, and I thluk all will agree that the immediate service we owe the business communities of tho country Is to prevent private mon opoly more effectually than It has been prevented. "I think It will be easily agreed that we should let tho Sherman anti trust law stand, but that we should as much as possible reduce the area of its debateable ground by farther and more explicit legislation and al so supplement that great act by legis lation which will not.nty. clarify it but alto facilitate its administration and make it fairer to all concerned. Direct Nomination of President "I feel confident that I do not misinterpret the wishes of the coun try when I urge prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary elections at which the voters may choose their nominees for the presidency, without the intervention of nominating conventions. I sug gest that this legislation should pro vide for the retention of conventions, but only for the purpose of accepting the verdict of the primaries and formulating platforms. Indepcnilcnre for Philippines "Dlscissing the country's foreign possesions, the president urge! a steady movement toward Indepen dence for the Philippines. "In Alaska, he advocated the full form of territorial government, government-owned and managed , railroads, and development, without l waste, of the country's resources without monopoly "upon any narrow Idea of individual rights as against the abiding Interests of communi ties." Other recommendations the presi dent made were the equipment of the bureau of mines with power to Im prove the miners' condition and make mines more productive and safer, an effective employers' liability act for the benefit of railroad men and alle- vtatiou "of the very unsafe, unjust and Burdensome conditions which surround the employment of sailors." Admission iby Card Admission to the galleries of the house was by card. Representatives received one card each for the bene fit of their friends and senators two each. Most of them were given to the lawmakers wives, daughters or sisters. Legislators representing states In which equal rights prevail In particular were deluged with ap plication for tickets from women voters. The result was that women far outnumbered the men among the spectators. The occasion was made distinctly a fashionable one, gorge ous millinery created a splendid spectacle ln the galleries. On the floor of the house the front seats were reserved for senators. who were received by the represen tatives standing, 66 tho visiting upper house members marched ln. All kept their feet until the tap of the speak er's gavel was heard.

PAGE THREB How to Detect the Alum Baking Powder "Which are the alum baking powders; how can I avoid them unless they are named )" asks a housekeeper. Here is one way: take the can of a low priced powder in your hand and read the ingredient clause upon the back label. The law requires that it the powder contains alura that fact must be there stated. If you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sul phate of aluminum, you have found an alum taking ponder. There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only; that assures you a cream of tartar powder, and the purest and most healthful baking powder beyond question.
