Probably no unphysical argument adj
dressed to genuine dynamiters would be
| likely to have any powerful effect. But
words may not be entirely misapplied
when addressed to certain American
politicians who seem at times to hesitate
| in their attitude toward dynamiters
themselves, the aiders and abettors OF
dynamiters, or the sentimental sympa.
thizers with such outlaws. The reason
for hesitation is generally obvious. 1t is
question of political votes-of personal
or of party success,
Well, there is one thing to be said to
such doubling and hesitating politicians:
Gentlemen, you are making q mistake.
To use an expression made popular, we
believe, by General Hawley some years
ago i'll regard to a very different ques-
ton, dynamiting is "not the american
the sneaking and cowardly murderer,
this country. 1t is true that two of our
Presidents have met their death at the
hands of the illegal taker of life, but
there was no popular support to either
mad and murderous act. Lynch-law, on
our borders especially, has had too
much vogue, but this is decreasing; and
there is long distance between lynch.
ing william who 1t is feared may escape
justice, and the dastardly and reckless
use of explosives, where invaluable
works Of art, and innocent men, women,
and children, together with the suppos-
ed "oppressor," are COMPOUNDED in q
common destruction.
Let the question once be brought to
an issue in our American communities,
and the politician who hesitates to de.
nounce dynamite, and all that goes with
it,-all cowardly and constituencies at
tempts to settle either public or private
questions by means of private and Sc
cret violence,-such man is lost. He
will find too late that his Difference to

The Latest in Carving Knives.

Among carving-knives the old-fash-
Toned nine-inch- straight blades have
given place to a variety of shapes, the
cutting edges generally describing
some part OF a circle. A variation of o
Turkish cimeter Is the most popular
blade. For steak or game q six-inch
knife Is used, while the turkey or fami-
ly roast cannot be attacked with bet
ter implement than ten-inch blade.
For some reason, known only to them
selves, the carvers in hotels and res
taurants are still faithful to the "slic-
er," blunt-pointed, perfectly straight
blade which has the appearance of an
overgrown case-knife. 1t varies in
length from twelve to sixteen inches,
and is so flexible that one can almost
tie knots in it. An oddity in the cut
lery stock is the jointing carver. de.
signed for separating the joints of
poultry and game Of doubtful age. The
blade is long and very narrow steel,
with an almost needle point. Chicago

THE BAKING POW
DERS
Royal" the only Absolutely Pure Bsk-
ing Powder Made.-Action Of the
New York State Board OF
Health.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board Of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for
sale in the State, were submitted to ex-
animation and analysis by Prof. @. F.
CHANDLER, a Member of the State Board,
and President of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Ed
WARD G.. LOVE, the well.known late Unit
ed States Government chemist
The Official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime;, many of
them to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use in
the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
Piles. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed to the i'm:
pure cream of tartar of commerce used
in their manufacture. Such cream of
tartar was also analysed and found to
contain lime and other impurities, in
some samples to the extent of 90 per
cent of their entire weight,
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of "RoyaP'
mot including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since discard
ed as unsafe or inefficient by prudent
eousekeepers) are made from the i'm
pure cream Of tartar of commerce, and
consequently contain lime to q cores
ponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure Is the
"Royal." This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent
processes ofthe n. Y. Tartar Co., which
totally remove the tartrate of lime and
other impurities. The cost of this chem.
Ically pure cream of tartar is much great.
err than any other, and on account OF
this greater cost is used in no baking
powder but the Royal"
Prof. LOVE, who made the analyses Of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health, as we'll as for the Gov
eminent, says of the purity and whole
someness of Royal:
81 have tested a package Of 'Roya
Baking Powder which l purchased II
the open market, and find it composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. i
is cream of tartar powder of high de-
gree of merit, and does not contain eth
er alum or phosphates or any injurious
| substances, "E, G. LOVE. ph. d."

Boxwood Getting Scarce.

'In less than one year the price oil
lockwood has trebled," said hardwood
dealer in Centre street, New York.
THE roller-skating mania has COM
pletely exhausted the market of Ger.
tain size Of lockwood. Less than eight
cen months ago could sell q ton Of
three-inch lockwood for $38, aud it
would be first-grade wood in every re-
spect, and admirably adapted for turn
ing small work. The demand then
was steady, and the principal consum-
ers of the wood were rule-makers,
tool-manufacturers, ana turner's who
supplied the market with boys tops,
pool-pins, and toys of various kinds.
The sudden and remarkable growth of
the roller-skating pastime has created
a misunderstanding demand for q
certain size of wood, and now it is i'm
possible to purchase ton of suitable
wood for skate-wheels for 1920. Roll
ers are made in several sizes, ranging
from one and five-eighths to two and
one-eighth inches in diameter, and
only the natural growth of lockwood
approximating these sizes is fit for use.
Large wood is too costly, and is less
firm in resisting the tremendous strain
of skaters weight upon an axle only
1882 OF an inch in diameter. The box
wood grows in Persia and Turkey, and
heretofore the crop has been handled
in England. 1t is wood of very slow
growth, and in its native country
stringent timber laws restrict the de-
pletion Of the growing trees. At the
present rate OF consumption the world
will be practically exhausted of its
lockwood in less than twelve months,
unless some equally cheap and durable
substitute is found to take its place."
"Has nothing been tried which gives
promise of superseding boxwoodp"
asked the reporter.
"Yes-rubber, celluloid, rawhide,
vulcanized 'fibres, and compressed pa
per have been tried in making rollers,
but for one reason or another they
have proved unsatisfactory. Some
have been found too soft, while others,
like pure celluloid wheels, have been
found too expensive for general use,
and the necessary metal bushings have
proved Objectionable, because the grit
and dust from the floor and the shoes
Of the skaters, wearing between two
metal surfaces, has rapidly cut away
the axles of the skates. Rollers with
anti-friction bushings, consisting of a
number of small steel plugs freely re-
volving around the axles, have been
tried with some composition wheels
with success, but they are necessarily
very expensive, and on this account
cannot come into general use."
'Will no other wood than lockwood
answerp''
"Only for very cheap skatos. Dog
wood, apple, pepperidge, laurel, and
lignumvite have been tried by almost
every roller-maker, and all have been
rejected. The lignumvite alone is hard
enough, but 1t will not stand the strain
of the small axle. Metal wheels with
O rubber surface are made, but nothing
has yet been found which in all respects
is as good for the purpose as box
wood"
