and spectators in the Cherokee strip.
Trains will be forced to stop and to take and
deliver mail at all townsites, and no post
offices will be allowed to be established with
the purpose of influencing trade away from
such townsltes.
This action is due to the complaints of
postal arrangements at Enid. Three miles
above Enid are several allotments in which
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific railroad
company is interested. 1t declines to stop
its train to take or leave mail, at the town of

AM.,..r of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the danger Of
an indiscriminate use of the numerous bak-
ing powders nowadays found upon every
hand, and which are urged upon consumers
with such persistency by peddlers and many
grocers on account of the big profits made
in their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and aka
lies winch burn and inhame the alimentary
organs and cause indigestion, heartburn,
diarrheal diseases. etc. Sulphuric acid,
caustic potash, burnt alum, all are used as
gas producing agents in such baking pow
ders. Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these chemi-
Gals are applied to the external flesh. How
much more acute must be their action upon
the DELEGATE internal membranes! Yet IN
scrupulous manufacturers do not hesitate to
use them, because they make very-low cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their powders
so made. by all kinds of alluring advertise
ments and false representations.
All the low priced or sO-called cheap bak-
ing powders, and all powders sold with gift
or prize. belong to this class.
Baking powders made from chemically
pure cream of tartar and bi-carbonate of
soda are among the most useful of modern
culinary devices. They not only make the
preparation of finer and more delicious cook
cry possible. but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness of our food.
But baking powders must be composed of
such pure and wholesome ingredients or they
must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison. Commissioner of Health of
New York, in an article il the Doctor of
Hygiene" indicates that the advantages of
good baking powder and the exemption
from the dangers of bad ones in which the
harsh and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking Pow
der exclusively, and he recommends this to
all consumers. THE Royal" he says ''con-
tains nothing but cream of tartar and soda
refined to chemical purity, which when
ombined under the influence of heat and
moisture produce pure carbonic, or leavell-
ing, gas. The two materials used, cream
of tartar and soda, are perfectly harmless
even when eaten, but in this preparation they
are combined in exact compromising weights,
so that when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically disap-
pear, the substance. of both having been
taken to form carbonic acid gas" Hence
it is, he says, that the Royal Baking Powder
is the most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavening purposes.
It seems almost incredible that any manu-
facturer or dealer should urge the sale of
baking powders containing injurious chemi-
Gals in place of those of we'll known, pure,
and wholesome character simply for the sake
of a few cents pound greater profit; but
since they do, few words of warning seem
to be necessary.

In view of the fact that Click has decided

There is large salary attached to the posi-
ton. 1t is probable that Mr.. Click will as
sumo the duties of pension agent in No

To say that the street Examinations are
the grandest ever seen on the streets of any
city in the world is to state case mildly.
The number of lights used exceeds 5000,
and more than half of these are electric.
The downtown section is blaze of light,
arches competing for popularity with cleo
trio effects of the most dazzling character.
These latter are for the most part piano.
ramas with constant changes, and vehicle
traffic is we'll nigh suspended owing TO the
crowds which throng the streets as we'll as
cover the sidewalks.
The western hemisphere panorama, illus
trated herewith, facing Washington univer-
sity, has upwards of LOO electric lights and
tells the story of the discovery of America
in letters of fire. Another magnificent spec
tacie is the electric floral arch in natural
colors and another is g com bination of the
flags of the United States and Spain with
an eagle far above the centre. There are
ten other electric displays all equally at
tractive.
The Examinations will be repeated Octo-
Der 3, 5, ID, 10, and every one who appreci-
ates combination of beauty and magnlti-
cence ought to see them. The railroad rates
are exceptionally low and the attractions as
exceptionally gorgeous and irresistible.

The Eight Hour Law.

WICHITA, September 29.-In district court
Judge Reed declared Ed Carroll's senate
bill, entitled "An act to constitute eight
hours a days labor" unconstitutional.
Judge Reed is the first district Judge to pass
on this act. He holds the law is contrary to
both the federal and state constitutions, and
declares it restraint on the liberty of action
guaranteed by both, which permits the max
ing of lawful contracts in the lawful way
and in direct conflict with both the bill of
rights of the state and with the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution.
CLAIMS aggregating hundreds of thousands
of dollars for overtime under this act are
pending against every county and city in
the state.

Postal Revenue Deficit.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 3.-An an
gross receipts of the postofice department
is usually counted upon.
In the month of June the department
showed an increase of gross receipts of
little over 8 per cent; in July the increase
was only a little more than per cent;
in August there was an actual falling off of 4
per cent. as compared with the receipts of
August year ago. This means simply that
the general business of the country has fallen
of as indicated by these figures and that the
deficit in the postal revenues is likely to be
not 81 ,0O0,0O or 100000 for this year, as
was expected, but rather 100000 or s10,-
