vHE INDEPENDENT So
licits your advertising:
Because it completely covers the
entire State of Montana. Because
it will guarantee to prove a larger
bona fde daily circulation than
any other paper in the state. Be-
cause it is the paper for the peo-
pie and the one that brings the
best results. Because it is a lepit-
innate business enterprise, and as
such works for the advantage of
its patrons. Because its charges
for advertising matter are rea-
sonable. Because with its equip
ment of lightning presses and the
best of modern facilities, THE
INDEPENDENT is prepared to give
q dollars worth for a dollar. Be-
cause advertising in its columns
mas PAID others and it will pay
you. Because columns and pages
in other Montana papers will not
reach the readers of THE INDIE
PENDENT. Because it is the old
est morning daily in the state and
is the best advertising medium.
Because its circulation is con-
stantly increasing. Because it
leads in news gathering, inhu-
ence, enterprise, and the purchas-
ing power of it's readers. Be-
cause it is a clean, sharp, spicy
local newspaper. Because it is
printed at the capital of the state
and the county seat of the coun-
ty. Because it's readers are of
the purchasing class and it's COL
umns are patronized by reputable
dealers. Because all kinds of
matter appearing in its columns
have weight with its readers.
Because if you want to reach the
people of Montana it can be done
to better advantage in The In
DEPENDENT than through any
other medium.

every point that goes to
make up a metropolitan daily of
the highest class, is unexcelled.
Its continued and uninterrupted
popularity for a quarter of a CEN
fury has established it firmly in
the hearts of the people of Sion-
tana. 1t is delivered daily to more
homes in Helena, in proportion
to the population of the city, than
any other paper in any other city
in the west. 1t is read by nine
tenths of the families in the city.
1t also has a great many subscrlb-
ers in every city, town and camp
in the state. 1t has the news SER
vice of the Associated Press and
the United Press and also has an
extensive special service by its
own correspondents at all i'm
portant points in Montana. 1t
also uses the best productions of
the high-class syndlcates that tur-
nish illustrated and special arti-
eles. THE INDEPENDENTS demo-
cratic in politics, fair and candid
in it's treatment of all political
and economic questions. Its re-
ports of all local and state hap
penings r free from partisan
bias or misrepresentation. Its
politics do not affect its fidelity to
it's readers in printing the news.
While THE INDEPENDENT aims
to print all the news it can get,
it prefers to print only pleasant
news, and private brawls and
scandals are handled with care
when they must be printed, and
all Objectionable features reduced
to a minimum. til is particularly,
therefore, the family paper of
Montana.

MATTER OF HEALTH.
St. Louis Authorities Exauaiping TIM
Baking Powders.
lSt. Louis 0lobe-Democrat.1

ISL LOUIS SlOOc-DeEuocrbhJ
At the request of Health Commits
sioner Brennan, the city chemist has
collected samples of the various bak-
ing powders sold in st. Louis and sub
jected them to analysis for the purpose
of obtaining for the public benefit in
formation as to their composition and
character, whether wholesome or other
wise.
Owing to the fact that alum baking
powders are produced at cost OF less
than four cents u pound, while in APP
pcarance they are hardly distinguish
able from pure cream of tartar pow
der. costing from eight to ten times as
much to manufacture, there have been
many of them put upon the market
and great efforts made TO substitute
them for the more wholesome cream OF
tartar compounds.
OF course, such powders afford wide
margins of profits both to the manu-
facturers and dealers and IL is not I'M
usual TO find them for this reason
recommended and urged upon custom
ers who would not. knowing their true
character, use them under any consid-
Grafton.
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream of tartar powder only
1.-THE Royal); one cream of tartar pow
der containing free tartaric acid; one
I phosphate powder containing sulphate
of Limo, and that all the other bran
are made from alum. The samples
ranged in strength from l3.47 per cent
of leavening (carbonic acid gas found
in the Royal, to Sos per cent found in
an alum powder.
The general usefulness of a baking
powder depends largely upon the
quantity of leavening gas it gives off.
a powder containing thirteen per cent.
of gas will go more than twice as far
that is. one pound of such powder will
raise more than twice as much flour
as one that evolves but six per cent.
| The economy thus shown, however, is
not the greatest consideration. The
low strength powders leave large
rcsiduum in the food, which, being of
| alum in its various forms. renders the
food positively unwholesome.
Upon this point, and in describing
the character of the baking powder
found of highest strength, the City
Chemist says: "a high leavening
power is requisite. Pure ingredients
| in proper combination quicken and in
crease the production of carbonic acid
gas In this the Royal exccls all 9TH
ers 1t is the highest in strength, in
fabrique Il fanltless arrangement of
agents, pure and wholesome, free from
adulteration with lime, ammonia or
alum"
The result of these tests will be read
with interest and will prove of great
benefit to houselsecpers by enabling
them to distinguish the pure from the
numerous impure and unwholesomc
| powders found in the market.

American wheat in Germany.

The United States Is the chief source of
supply from which Germany draws the deficit
in her domestic breadstuGs. Such Is the In
formation contained IN a report to the state
department by Frank II. Mason, consul at
Frankfort, of the statistics of grain impo rita
ton into Germany for the year 1899. They
show an enormous increased volume Of both
wheat and rye imported from the United
States. From the fourth place in 1880 the
United States rose TO first place in 1892, the
amount of wheat purchased from the United
States rising from 1,902, rs bushels in 1880 to
%, 065, 595 bushels last year.
The importations from the United States In
1892 were nearly half of the whole amount
imported-46, $50, 719 bushels. The importa-
tons of rye from the United States increased
from 765 1888 bushels in 1890 to 4, 9S2, 325 bush
els in 1892. Russia's contribution Of that ce-
real to Germany, owing to failure Of crops,
