Mischief is Wrought

by bad cooking, tough meats, late
hours, business worries, irregular
livers, sour dispositions, evil diges-
ton and impure blood. Much of
this mischief can be overcome by
the use of Browns Iron Bitters

Emile Crawford, Reidsville, Ga,
writes, "After trying Browns Iron
Bitters we are persuaded that it is
all that it claims to.be-a good and
reliable tonic" Thousands of
others speak in like manner.

ALEXANDRIA FIELD TRIALS
THE CONTEST FOR THE ALL
AGED STAKE.
Good but Not Brilliant Work. Owing
TO had Ground and the
Scarcity OF Birds.
lsPEcIAL TO nm LPPEAL.I

ALEXANDRIA, La, February 49,
Yesterday was not 9hoted for brilliant
work, owing 10 the scarcity of birds
and difficult grounds to work.
The all age stake began with the
heat bet Teen Pattie, black, white and
tan English setter, owned and handled
by L. w. Condor, against the black
AID white English setter Netlie B.,
owned by W. +. Gray and handled by
Henry Fontaine. The dogs ran
very pretty heat. Nettie b showed
the best speed, range and style, and
worked accurately and well on birds.
Pattie showed &c cd nose but was
unsteady 10 wing and shot. Nettie B.
won the heat in twenty-five minutes.
Dolph, black, white and tan En-
glish setter dog, owned and handled
by @. E, Bringhurst, and Mingo, a
black and whits English setter dog,
owned and banded by w. B. Wells,
were the next brace, and were put
down at 1919 o'tl,ck. Birds we're
scarce and the heat was long one,
and YVES not remarkable for more
than ordinary performances, the
grounds not being at all adapted to
hunting. At the end OF one hour
and forty-seven minutes Mingo won
the heat.
The next heat was between the
black, white and tan English setter
dog Dolph, owned and handled by
Judge J. M. Thompson, and Baron
B.ue, blue Bolton English setter,
owned and handled by G. A. Schnsck,
and was fiAe heat in many respects.
Beth dogs showed fine qualities.
Blue had the advantage in pace,
range, style and pointing, and was
awarded the heat after a Jun of two
hours and thirteen minutes.
The black and tan Gordon setter
Crisp, owLei and handled by l.. w.
Murdoch, aud the black, white and
tan English setter bitch Lufrs, owned
and handled by j. W. Prescott, ran a
heat which will be memorable in the
annals OF field trials as the only heat
forming all the combinations. The
dogs showed good natural qualities,
but Lufra flushed and chased to an
unequslsd extent Crisp was awarded
the heat in twenty-five minutes.
The black, white and tan English
setter Ta9giI ahoa, owned and handled
by Henry Fontaine, and the liver and
white pointer dog Jack, owned and
handled by M. f. Smith, were run for
fifteen minutes. Jack scored several
lushes, and Tangipahol showed such
superior quality i'll every respect that
she was ava 'ded the heat.
Harry, black and white Eoglish
setter dog, owned and handled by ]. S.
Fish, and the black, white and tan
English setter dog Prescott, owned
and handled by S. Cullen, ran next.
Both dogs showed fne qualities.
Prescott being a little faster, more
stylish and the bettsr ranger, was
awarded the heat. They were down
thirty-four minutes.
There are three more braces in the

Under the direction of the New
York State Board OF Health, eighty
four of the different kinds of baking
powders, embracing all the brands
that could be found for sale in the
STATE, were submitted 10 examination
and analysis by Prof. q. F. Chandler,
a member of the State Board and pres
ident OF the New York City Board of
Health, assisted by Prof. Edward, G.
Love, the well-known late United
States government chemist.
The off 'ial report sho VS. that a large
number OF the powders examined
were found to contain alumni or line f;
many OF them to such an extent as to
render them seriously OF iectionable
for use in the preparation Of human
food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper their cost.
The presence OF lime is attributed to
the impure cream OF tartar of COM
merce 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 mar.
ket, with the single exception OF
"Royal" (not including the alum and
phosphate powders, which we're long
since discarded as unsafe or inefficient
by prudent housekeepeIs) are made
from the impure cream Of tartar OF
commerce, and consequently contain
lime to corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical ANALYSIS to be entirely
free from lime and absolutely pure is
the Royal" This perfect punty re.
suits from the exclusive use of cream
of'tartar specially refined and pre-
pared by patent processes OF the New
York Tartar Company, which totally
remove the tartiate of lime and o.her
Impurities. The cost OF this chem
ita,ly pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other and on &C
count Of this greater cost is used in no
baking powder but the "Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis
OF baking powders for the New York
State Board OF Health, as we'll as for
the government, says OF the purity
aud wholesomeness OF Royals"
II have tested package of Royal
Baking Powder which purchased in
the opened market, and find 1t COM
posed Of pure and who esome ingredi-
ents. II is a cream OF tartar powder Of
high degree Of merit, and does not
contain either alum or phosphatea OF
any irjuriouH substances.
