for the Pathfinder project on North

only about 4 per cent of the fund.

Second to Wyoming comes the terri

lying far north, has a splendid water

Government on the Yellowstone,

water, none of the embarrassing com

The fourth State in order of benefits

needing the benefits. It was, In fact,

held extended hearings, and during the
present Congress there line bced a
tlood of railroad rates bills in both
houses, ranging all the way from the
Interstate Commerce Commission bill,
which Is generally considered na the
administration measure, to bills widely
and radically different it their pro
visions. Hills have been Introduced by
Senator Dolllver of Iowa, by Senator
Fornkcr of Ohio, by Senator Klklns of
Virginia, the Chairman of the Senate

Senator Morn of Alabama, by Sena

House, by Representative Hogg of

others.

which provides for the reculatlon of
railroad rites through tho regular
courts of the country. Senator Klklns'
till nlso proposes that the Federal
courts shall determine whether rates
are excessive, nnd provides for an in
junction against any road which Is
found to be charging an excessive rate.
The bill which has been Introduced by
Representative Hogg, formulated by
Jiulpe Peter Crosscup of tho United
States District Court of Chicago who
rendered the decision against the Deef
Trust, provides for a special railroad
court to decide all such matters.
Judge Crosscup's bill establishes seven
Courts of Transportation, situated in
different sections of the country, to
try the particular cases arising Within
their territory. During a stated period
of each year the Judges of the seven
courts are to meet together and hold
court en banc In Washington or else
where, Just as tho Supreme Court of
the United States sits together for a
stated term, after having held Individ
ual court in the different Federal dis
tricts of tho United States. Thero la
right of appeal from this Court of
Transportation to tho Supreme Court
of the United States. It Is argued In
favor of this bill that Inasmuch as
railroad rato matters, even where
they are decided upon by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, must fi
nally go to court, the matter can be
simplified by having them considered
menta and their commanders In the
Union army and the general location

The railroads themselves are not
pleased with this plan of regulation
While many of them may not have
done, in past times, the best possibl?
by the public, they fear that to give an
absolute rate-making power to a poliri
cal commission, snch as the Interstate
Commerce Commission, appointed by a
Chief Executive, would be not only an
unconstitutional method of regulation
but would place in that body a power
which if not wisely administered
might practically put them, the rail
roads, out of business. The provision
that they would have recourse to the
courts after a rato had been fixed bv
the Commission and put Into effect
would help thern but little since their
entire schedule would be chsnewl and
the damage done, before the courts
could be brought to rea'h a decision.
The other point of view Is that with
the knowledge that their rates will be
carefully scrutinized ' and contested,
they will be extremely careful about
the making or enforcing of anr ex
cessive rates, while with the enact
ment of a comprehensive law the rem
edy will alwavs li with fhe Oorern

The Coffee Importers and Roasters are Attacking
POSTUM FOOD COFFEE
All Along the Line.
"THERE'S A REASON.
99
Many people have fonml out the truth ahuut old
fash ioncl coffee.
They have overcome disease caused Ly it.
The plan was easy ntrl Mire
Quit Coffee and use I V jtiuii.
Proof with one's self is stronger than any theory.
The Postum army grows by hundreds of thousands
yearly.
The olJ-fashioncd Coffee Magnates arc now derid
ing Postum through the papers.
Because their pocketbooks arc hurt, they would
drive the people back to the old coffee slavery.
One coffee prevaricator says: "It (Tostum) has
lately been exposed and fotind to contain an excess
of very ordinary coffee."
Another that "it (Postum) Is made from a small
amount of parched peas, beans, wheat, dried sweet
potatoes, and paste of wheat middlings."
Here's to you, oh faithful followers of the tribe of
Ananias:
$100,000.00 CASH
will be deposited with any reputable trust company
(or a less amotint if desired) against a like amount
by any coffee roaster or dealer. If the charges prove
true we lose, if not we take the money as partial
liquidation for the infamous insult to our business.
The Postum Pure Food factories arc the largest in
the world, the business having been built upon abso
lutely pure food products, made on scientific lines,
"for a reason" and the plain unvarnished truth told
every day and all the time. These factories are visited
by thousands of people every month. They are shown
Into every cranny and examine every ingredient and
process. F.arh visitor sees Postum made of different
j:irt.- of the u licit lu rry treated by different mechan
ical mi thuds and one part blinded with a small pait
of pure N't -w Orleans molasses. So he knows Postum
contains not one thing in the world but Wheat and
New Oilcans molasses. It took more tha:t a year of
experimenting to perfect the processes and leant how
to develop the diastase and properly treat the other
elements in the wheat to produce the coffec-like flavor
that makes suspicious people "wonder." Hut there?
never has been one grain of old-fashioned or drtiff
coffeg in Postum and never will he.
Another thing, wi have on file in nur general offices
the original of every testimonial letter we have ever
published. We submit that our attitude regarding
coffee Is now and always has been absolutely fair. If
one wants a stimulant and can digest coffee and it
does not set up any sort of physical aihr.ent, drink it.
Put, if coffee overtaxes and weakens the heart (and
It does with some).
Or if it sets up disease of the stomach ami bovveli
(ami it docs with Borne).
Or if it causes weak eyes (and it docs witii 6oine).
Or if it causcB nervous prostration (and it docs
with many).
Thru good plain bid-fdshioncd conimbti sense mtglir
(without askingf permission of coffee merchants) sug
gest to rpiit putting caffeine (the drug; of coffee) into
a highly organized human body, for health is really
wealth and the happiest sort of wealth.
Then If one's own best Interest urges him to study
into the reason and "There's a reason," he will un
earth great big facts that alFoTthe sophistries ft! the
coffee importers and roasters cannot refute
