Avoids Breakfast Cooking New Post Toasties are ready to eat direct from the package. They have a fine new flavour self-developed by a new patented process. It's the rare, true flavour of prime, white Indian corn itself, and these New Toasties are the first corn flakes that do not depend on cream and sugar for palatability. The proof of this superior flavour is found by eating some from the package dry. They're deliciously good that way, but of course are -usually served with cream or good milk. Examine the New Post Toasties flakes. The quick, fierce heat of the new process of manufacture, not only raises the distinguishing little bubbles on each flake, but gives a body and firmness that makes the New Toasties a more substantial food than ordinary "corn flakes." New Post Toasties do not "chaff" or crumble in the package, and they don't mush down when cream is added. They come to you untouched by hand, and in moistureproof packages that preserve their delightful oven-crisp-ness until served at your table. Well worth trying these New Post Toasties Sold by Grocers everywhere.

Shall they be determined by Industrial Warfare or Federal Inquiry? To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or industrial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroad? are in the public service your service. 'ihis army of employes is in the public service your service. . You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Eastern Railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of thl train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest, and average of all) as shown by the payrolls

A 100 million dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tribunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settlement of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by reference to the Interstate Commerce Commission. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Government determine this issue? National Conference Committee of the Railways
