BRYAN1ZING HIS CHANCES.
. .If Governor Woodrow Wilson really lias any
chances for the next democratic presidential
nomination lieliad lictter look out or lie fill Bry-
oni/.c them.
He failed to attend the annual banquet of the
^National Deniocartic club in Xew York City hut
sent a letter in which he congratulated "all
those Vho have won the confidence of the people
on their opportunity to serve tlieni in an aw
which awaits nothing less than a reconstruction
of the forces of society."
A better way to have stated the case would
have been congratulations on "the opportun
ity to serve the people at a time when return
toward sane, conservative and economical a<l
ministration of public affairs is expected and
demanded."
< )f men who are hankering to take society and
government and human institutions generally in
personal charge and reconstruct them to square
with individual opinions, the country lias had
I v ample numbers and to spare. It was largely n
widespread protest a,gainst the possible return
of the very pink and flower of roconstructionists
to lik'-li place that enabled Mr. 1 >ix of New York,
Mr. Wilson of New Jersey and others to land
their present political jobs. Whatever tie
laws ]trove to be inadequate or unsuitable to the
times and conditions, let them be changed or iv

rEALTII CLUB has the createst
leavening force—the greatest
strength. One teaspoon of Health
Club goes as far as two teaspoons of other
brands.
It sells for one cent an ounce—and it
is the most economical you can buy because
you need use only half as much.
Health Club is prepared of the purest
ingredients by the most skilled chemists.
Our formulas are the most exacting—
each ingredient is measured and rigidly
tested for quality, so you can depend on tl*e
uniformity of Health Cltib, which practi-
cally insures uniformity of your bakings.
Every ounce of Health Club receives the
oven test before it is marketed. Enough
for one average baking is selected at ran-
dom from 100 pounds or more and given a
test in baking.
If you want the lightest, flakiest bis-
cuits, cake or pastries, use Health Club.
Next to your own ability, it will be the big-
gest factor in your baking successes. We
could charge more for Health Club and get
it, but one cent an ounce is the right price.
It's extravagance to pay more.

In the first place, the constitutional conven-
tion which met in Santa Fe, overstepped all
sensible limits when it declared for a re-survey
of the state line which separates New Mexico
from Texas. The "delegates not only decided to
take part of Texas, but they also decided that
Texas should concede I'll I'a so county to Old
f' Mexico, and thereby put an end lo the border
dispute. Texas was never solicited to co-oper
ate nor was the opinion of the Texas people ask

The delegates were very positive in the <1 is
Mission of the matter, that Texas would be an
^Vsious to donate to New Mexico one or two conn
ties, just because the Lone Star state possessed
