4 Hint Against Afrectation.

Alteration is always either disgusting or
amusing to people of sense, and it deceives no
one. 1t is also more or less mark of stupid
ity, because it argues lack of that keen and
original insight into life which is sure TO de-
velop interesting natural qualities.

GUSHING MR.. BLAINE.
Some eople Who Can Get Him Out Quick
An Amusing Game.

"Have you got Blaine out yet?'
This is the question which everybody is
putting to everybody else
The blocks of five" fever has taken
hold of the people of this bailiwick, and
its ravages extend to all classes, from the
newsboys between editions to the banker
or professional man after hours.
Everybody seems anxious to aid Presi-
dent Harrison in this undoubted task of
getting his secretary of state out of the
cabinet.
This is the box which Harrison's
SOLICITORS friend sent TO him about the
time that it became apparent that Blaine
was crowding him into dark corner.
Blaine caught Harrison at work on the
little bother and he didn't try to laugh at
Harrison's rib-tickling joke about how he
was laboring to get Blaine out"
The little box of whitfield blocks went
into the waste basket, where a disheart-
ened office-seeker found it, and brought it
to this office. Then he got it copyrighted,
patented and protected, and now he SAYS
he wants no Office under the Indiana man,
for he is rapidly accommodating a fortune
out of the little puzzle.
Mr. Blakeslee, the New York manu-
facturer, saws 100000 OF the puzzles are
already sold in the jobbing trade, andthey
are making people wild all over the coun-
try.
Solutions are numerous, and if all the
statements are true, there are some very
nimble fingers and expert brains at work
on the "Blocks OF Five" Here are some
of the answers:
p of Columbus, Ind, says: 81 can put
Blaine out and Harrison in in one minute and
fifteen seconds. and will wager $50 that can do
it inside OF two minutes. Man and money
ready any time"
r. L. A. says: 81 can get Blaine out and Har-
risOn in in seventy seconds. If il were Cleve-
land | could get him in in half the time"
Frank Towards best time is 2:40, and Louis
Deschisr can do it in from one to two minutes.
A lady writes: Having spent several pleas
ant evenings with the blocks OF five puzzle
can safely say ! can put Harrison in and Blaine
out in one minute and quarter"
Mrs. J. of East Ohio-st. has two daughters,
fourteen and twelve years old, who can Dust
Mr.. Blaine in two minutes each.
The game is very fascinating and Is for
sale at THE SENTINEL office for Is cents.

GOV. HovEYs PICTURE.
The Pride He Takes in Exhibiting it to
Strangers.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: Reading the story
about Gov. Hovey's Pictures" in the SEN
TINEL the other day reminds us of little
incident that occurred this fall during the
state fair. Wednesday forenoon was dark,
cold and gloomy. Murky clouds hung
low over the city, from which continuous
drilling rains descended. Gentlemen left
the streets and vanished behind we'll
known colored screens. The songs OF birds
were hushed and no happy smiles
wreathed the faces of female pedestrians.
indianapolis (externaD was everything
but inviting. Street-cars rolled along
empty toward the fair grounds.
Our party (from BRAZIL consisting of
three gentlemen and as many ladies,
drifted along Westinghouse, helpless and
forlorn, when suddenly our grand new
state-house raised itself out of the western
horizon and stood majestically before us.
The proposition to make tour of the
building was promptly accepted by all.
In few moments we approached the
east entrance and passed up the great
stone steps.
We visited the museum, library, senate
chamber, hall OF representatives, etc.
Passing down long corridor, | CHANGED TO
peep through the door of comparatively
small room, in which rather fine looking
old gentleman sat by table writing. Feel
ing that we were intrudeTs, we attempted
to escape, but no, the old gentlemans

his feet as If glad to meet us, and invited
us In, butt apologized for the interruption
by explaining that my party was not on
business, but were simply looking through
the capitol. walk right in he said,
''and view the governors apartments"
"Oh" said l, taking his hand, "this is

the reply. Walk right in and see the

We followed him through his library
and into large, elegantly-furnished room.

No harm to walk on the carpet. Make
yourselves at home among those easy
chairs and sofas. These are comforts for
my visiting constituents as well as for
dignitaries who call here.

round the walls and study the pictures;
and IN doing so you might as well begin
with HjS'-pointing TO his own life-size
portrait, suspended from the north wall.
At this point the governor disappeared
from the parlor and left us alone in our
glory" And glory enough we had for
one occasion, for in the midst of great
merriment, the ladies persisted in declar-
ing, in spasmodic accents, that we would
never have been permitted to lounge in
that parlor for one moment had it not
been that our genial, handsome governor
was over-anxious to show his own picture.

Over $40, 900 books have been supplied and

pany is 10 invest $780, 900 in indianapolis in

view with the Hon. William Heilman,
prominent member of the company, sets
forth the whole project well. Among 9TH

that the opposition was mercenary and
could have been silenced az any time by
the use OF money. 4 corrupter schem
than that by which the book monopoly
undertook to kill this effort of the people

are taken means that they 10 understand

every household among 100000 people,
and the wicked machinatOrs that have
not yet ceased to throw those people back
TO the plundering OF the school book ring,
have made for themselves only a rebuke
that may cause similar scoundrelism to
pause. The people of Indiana are to be
congratulated There has been no tri-
umph more distinct and beneficial than
this which has shattered the ring that has
preyed upon every household in the state
and secured the help of officials and high
influences to retain its place.

money for that purpose. We expect to
get moderate return on our investment.
Our intention is to make Indianapolis
a great school book publishing center. We
are going to buy site here, erect a fine
building. equip it throughout with the lat
est and best machinery, and publish text
books not only for Indiana but for many
other states. This has been our purpose
from the start, but it was obviously i'm
possible 10 carry it out in time to make
our own books for this year. But we hope
to publish the books for next year right
here at Indianapolis. We expect to put
perhaps 100000 into our plant, and en-
ploy a large number of men. Laws similar
to ours will no doubt be passed in a num-
Der OF states during the next two years,
and we shall compete for contracts
in all of them. Where laws are
not passed we shall offer our publications
at prices very much below the prices now
current. We shall publish grammars, his
tories, physiologies and a number of other
books in addition to those now on our list.
Thus one result of the new law, not an
ticipated by its advocates and friends will
be the establishment in Indiana of very
important industry. We are going to en-
ploy Indiana educators so far as practical
bic, in the preparation and editing OF our
books, and there are number of our ed
ucators abundantly competent for such
work. Our Indiana school book company
will soon develop into an institution well
calculated to arouse state pride.

NEARLY A MILLION.
An Immense Number of Books Turned Out
BY the Indiana Company.


BY the Indiana Company.
At the meeting of the Indiana school
book company Thursday night Mr.. Haw-
kins, secretary and general manager, sub
mitted the following statement:
"The first requisition of school books
was made on the Indiana school-book
company Aug. l. Since that time the SUI
perintendent OF public instruction has
made 1908 acquisitions on us, calling for
99,S36 first readers, Sc, 754 second readers,
S6,245 third readers, S5,5O4 fourth readers,
66979 fifth readers, los, 467 elementary
arithmetics, ll7,542 complete arithme-
tics, 96,5l2 elementary biographies, 81,
459 complete Biographies, making a
total number of books ordered up to date,
$40, POS. 1t will be seen that the arith-
metics take the lead. There have been
226,009 of this series called for. This
company began shipping out books to the
county superintendents Aug. -. We
have since supplied S92 townships, 2l3
towns and fifty-eight cities. The whole
number OF books shipped up to this time
is 727, 239, making 900, 720pounds offreight
or 465 tons.
"Our books are now being used in 1920
school rooms. The new books are giving
quite general satisfaction, as 33l towns,
townships and cities have made their
second, or additional orders for books,
calling for 1850 more books for their
schools, having sold out those ordered on
their first requisitiOn.
at is apparent that in a few instances
books have been ordered by school officers
for no honest purpose, merely making
their acquisitions, thinking that by taking
this first step they would thereby relieve
themselves from liability as officers and
then afterward make no effort to have the
books introduced into their schools. There
are only few such cases. A very large
majority of the school authorities through
out the state have taken hold of their
work with great earnestness, doing every
thing possible TO carry out the provisions
of the law, both in letter and in spirit. In
a large number of cases that have been re-
ported to us, the books could not be got
in time for the opening OF the schools in
all of the school corporations OF county.
The officers in these places have borrowed
small supplies of their neighboring trus-
tees whose acquisitions have been filled,
and paving back the loan when their
books came.
1.-THE extraordinary demand for such inn
mense quantities of our books, needed so
shortly after our contract was consum-
mated, made it quite impossible for us to
ship out the books as rapidly as they were
needed. Notwithstanding the delays and
disappointments the school officials, with
but few exceptions, have so arranged to
tide along their schools until their supply
of new books came, thereby getting the
benefits of the low prices and saving the
purchase of any of the books formerly
used.
cater we have got through with this
first great rush for books we hope 10 get
the orders far enough in advance so as to
give us time to I'll all acquisitions TO the
entire satisfaction of all concerned"

Ammonia In Baking Powder.


Among the discoveries in science and chem.
istry, none is more important than the uses to
which common ammonia can be properly put
as a leavening agent, and which indicate that
this familiar salt is hereafter to perform an
active part in the preparation of our daily
food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceedingly
volatile substance. Place a small portion of 1t
upon knife and hold over fame, and it will
almost Immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas thus
formed is a simple composition of nitrogen and
hydrogen, slightly aromatic, inOfiensive, and
perfectly wholesome. No residue is left from
the ammonia. This gives it its superiority a
leavening power over soda and cream of tartar
used alone, and has induced its use as a supple
ment to these articles. A small quantity of
ammonia in the dough is effective in producing
bread that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholesome than that risen by any other leaven-
ing agent. When IL is acted upon by the heat
of baking the leavening gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act il uses itself
up, it were; the ammonia is entirely diffused,
leaving no trace or residuuIn Whatever ne
light fluffy, flaky appearance, so desirable In
biscuits, etc, and so sought after by profess
sional cooks, is said to be impaired to them
only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manufac.
turers producing the finest goods have availed
themselves of this useful agent, and the hand
soonest and best bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid Of carbonate of am
monia combined, of course, with the other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known products
of the laboratory. AS the application Of its
properties to the purposes of cooking results
in giving us lighter and more wholesome
bread, biscuit and cake, its general use will
prove boon to dygpeDtic humanity.

A Public Outrage.

The Chicago platform made at Chicago
by the convention which nominated B..
HARRISON for president declared that 1.-The
spirit and purpose of civil service reform
should be observed in all executive APP
pointments."
Mr.. HARRISON, in his letter OF accep-
lance, said that fitness and not party SER
vice should be the test in all appointments,
and expressed his hearty approval of the
doctrine of civil service reform.
In speech in the L. S. senate attacking
President CLEVELAND Mr.. HARRISON said,
about three years ago:
l do lift up hearty prayer that we may
never have president who does not pursue
and compel his cabinet advisers to pursue, the
civil service policy pure and simple and upon
Just basis, allowing men accused to be heard
and deciding against them only upon compe-
tent proof and fairly. Either have that kind of
civil service or, for GODS sake, let us have
that other, frank and bold, if brutal, method of
turning men and women out simply for politi-
cal opinion. Let us have one or the other.
A fitting commentary upon these pro-
LESSONS and pledges is afforded by the
presidents removal of the Hon. GEORGE
w. JULIAN from the office Of surveyor
general of New Mexico. This removal
was made several weeks ago, but the cir
cumstances under which it was made have
not before been given to the public We
print this morning an interview with Mr..
JULIAN in which the facts are clearly
stated. In the interview is embodied a
letter from Commissioner STONE OF the
general land Office to Mr.. JULIAN, in which
it is frankly admitted that the removal
was made for political reasons only.
This, however, is only half the
truth. Mr.. JULIAN was sacrificed,
not only because his political
opinions did not agree with those Of the
administration, but also because of his in
tegrity, and his vigilance in protecting the
public interests against the land rings,
which have been and are the curse of New
Mexico and the other territories. Under
CLEvELAED's administration these rings
found their occupation gone, and they

DETROIT, Mich, Oct 26.-The days proceed
ings of the Women's foreign missionary society
was devoted principally to the reading of re-
ports. Mrs. Keim of Philadelphia presented
some resolutions which provoked considerable
discussion. They were to the effect that during
the first year of a newly-appointed missionary's
soiourn in foreign country his usefulness is
considerably curtailed inasmuch as he is not
sufficiently familiar with the language to under
take his duties. Ii was moved that mission
aries be paid but two-thirds of the maximum

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 80.
For the Clay County Sufferers.

We should like to receive further con-
tributions of clothing, bedding, provis-
ions or any kind of useful supplies for the
benefit of the Clay county sufferers. The
carload we forwarded a few days ago
brought some degree of comfort to a num-
Der Of homes-if the miners novels and
cabins can be called such. But these sup
plies reached comparatively small num-
Der. leaving thousands of the destitute
with their wants wholly unrelieved. There
are great numbers of barefooted women
and children in Clay county; OF women
and children who are without sufficient
clothing to meet the requirements of de
cency, not to speak of protection against
the rigors of the approaching winter. 1t
is for these we plead; for the hun
CRY and the naked; for babies
perishing of inanition. because the sources
of maternal nOurishment have been dried
up by fasting and exposure; for young
girls with only few spare rags to con-
ceal their persons; for matrons who are
utterly without defense against the I'M
kindly elements. There are men and
boys, too, hatless shoeless, in rags, to
whom any kind of warm covering for
head, or feet, or body would be a blessing.
A great many citizens of indianapolis
have responded generously to our appeals.
But there are thousands and tens OF thou
sands who have as yet given nothing. To
them we address ourselves now. We have
thought of organizing a volunteer corps
for the purpose of making a house to
house canvass OF the city in this behalf.
With a sufficiently large and well organ
lied corps, a very complete canvass could
be made in two or three days. All we
need for the successful carrying out of
this idea is volunteers. THE SENTINEL
will obtain wagons and attend to the pack
ing, forwarding and distribution OF the
goods. The Vandalia railroad will furnish
free transportation. Let us hear from our
readers-especially our young readers
upon this subject. Who will devote a
day, or two days, to this noble charity?
Meanwhile, we should like TO have ser
viceable articles of any kind sent to this Of
fee, so that they can be shipped with our
second consignment, which goes forward
in day or two.
