Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum is Q
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent by
CHEMISTS, who have given the matter
most study, regard these powders as an
evil that should be suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders are not permitted to be
sold unless they are branded to warn
consumers of their true character
while in the District of Columbia the
authorities have, under the direction OF
Congress, adopted regulations to pro
hibit the use of alum in bread alto
gether.
Are not the people of other states, as
well as those Of Minnesota aad Wiscon-
sin, entitled to warming OF danger
which is apparently paRlcing them at
close hand, and is not the whole coun-
try entitled to absolute protection, as
the people of the District of Columbia
are protected, by legislation which is
entirely prohibitiye?
Until we can have protection in the
form of a statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime it will aid the housewife in
designating the alum powders to re-
member that all powders sold at twenty
five cents or less per pound are of this
dangerous class. Pure cream of tartar
powders are usually sold at from forty
FIVE to fifty cents pound.

Manufacturers Favor National Aid to
Irrigation.

The manufacturers of the East are
beginning to see what National bene-
fit it would be if the West could be well
populated and thickly interspersed with
productive irrigated farms. At "a meet
ing of the st. Louis Manufacturers
Association, Oh October u, it was urged
that the farm and stock interests Of
the West and the interests of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi valleys, which are
subject to floods, demand the con
struction of storage reservoirs, to pre-
vent such floods and to provide irriga-
ton, and it was proposed to urge upon
Congress the building of these great
works under the river and harbor bill
as system of internal improvement
and development. Eastern manufac-
turers, of course, see the opportunity
for vast expansion of trade with the
opening and settlement of Western
irrigated lands, and the fact that they
are showing direct Interest in the
problem should cause its Western adj
vocates no little satisfaction.

We we're pleased to meet our friend
Max Clark, who is a valuable and eff

OF course we stopped at the Airing
ton, kept by County Judge j. Wise
Hagins, who personally receives his
guests at the depot with free hack.
His house is having big run and is
worthy of your patronage; when in

must have been more than 80 guests,
tor at first table next day for dinner
there were "a men.
We retired early expecting to be
called early for the train.
AT about 6 .. m., on Wednesday we
left the train at Oakdale, 10 miles
from Jackson. We had a pleasant
renewal of acquaintance with the
family of VIM. Spencer, all of whom
are in usual health. Oakdale has on
ly one house, postoffice, station and
store combined.
Near Oakdale ten miles from jack
son, Henry CLAY Crawford, aged 10
yeare, is teaching the public school
The district has l04 pupils. The pre-
ent attendance is about 80, the largest
at any time since July 10 was 81.
We called at the morning recess. The
boys were playing bull-pen and t, e
girls were at blind-man's buff. A
shower sent the girls to the house we
chatted: lie. the visitor did the talk
ing, telling of experiences at school
when he was boy, how we had
spelling matches, treats, etc, and the
sad (?) times when we sang:
Now teachers our school is out,
Oh! teachers we must part,
And if we never more see you
Well love you in our heart. etc.
Then we told them of the great
privileges and opportunities for OBJ
tanning knowledge and keeping in
touch with the achievements and con.
quests of our age asked them to look
for the bright side of life where is
sunshine, cheer and joy. We were
returning from foot journey to Keene
Crawfords, prosperous farmer,
when we secured as subscriber for
our Mt. STERLING ADVOCATE. He
has over 1900 acres of mountain land
for which he years ago paid $4,000.
From it he has sold $4,000 worth OF
timber.

WOOL VERSUS COTTON.
rom the Arkansas Gazette.

The experience of our farmers for the last few years, and particu- larly the past season. has con vinced them -or at least it ought to that they must turn their atten- tion in some other direction than cotton growing or give up culti- vating the soil. At the present price of that staple it is starva- tion business, not only making the farmer poorer year by year, but it's blighting influence extends over all other branches of business. As all wealth comes directly or indi- rectly from the earth, when the cultivation of tho soil is under a cloud everybody must suffer In d greater or less degree
 The Gazette is in sympathy with the farmer of Arkansas and has given some thought to the question of how their circumstane ces might be improved There is an increasing demand for textile fibers of all kinds, but for the pas few years th~e he9 haon m o,.-r-
The Mena star., 1899-02-08

supply of cotton, and we now feel
 the result. All other commodities
 of this kind are bringing remuner
 ative prices. It is said there IS not
 d textile fibre used in the arts ths
 cannot be produced in Arkansas
 though up to the present time but
 little attention has been given b8 any but cotton and it's oTcrproddc tion necessitates change to some,
 thing else. After giving some at
 tention to the subject we are of the opinion that sheep husbandry canI he made most profitable in this
 state. There are thousands of acres of land wonderfully adapted to that purpose and it is of that class not best suited for cotton or the cereals. The Spanish prov erb that "the sheep has hoofs of gold' implies that the fertility of the soil is improved by sheep which is not the case with cotton. We have pure water in the region referred to, and it has been dem. onstrated that a sheep can be kept in this state in the same con
 dilion for half what it costs in the wool growing localities north of the Ohio river. Wool is as con. venlcntly marketed as cotton and is always a cash product. Then the sheep not only furnishes tex. tile fibre but it also gives an annu- al increase of the flo ok, and there Is no healthier meat than well fattened mutton. While with cot. ton we have but one product, fibre; the sheep gives us three, fibre, meat and increase. lt has been made an objection to raising sheep particularly in the South, the many worthless dogs destroy the flock. X gentleman who has raised sheep in this state for the past twenty years, and in a neighborhood where there are as many "worth- less CUTS" as any part of the coun- try, says he has no trouble with dogs. He does not allow hunting on his premises, provides a goo( building with picket fenced yard and gives his sheep such care tha they come to the fold every night This party grows no cotton for h' finds sheep much more profitable
 We trust this mere allusion to [ subject that seems so importan will not escape the attention o those fovorably situated for intro ducing and extending this brancl of husbandry. and that a larg part of the state now uncultivate' will become the money producin! region of our commonwealth.

toba, whose products, like those of the grain growing states Europe needs. He proposed to carry that export trade to the Gulf and ship it from there. he said, thus saving a rail haul of from 750 to 300 miles. He filed q charter in Missouri q month ago which seems to indicate the pur
 pose of pushing the Gulf road up to the snows of the north will not be delayed Within two months he has secured line to Quincy and by the building of an extension to Beardstown can make connec- ton with the Baltimore x Ohio
 One story illustrating the n;sare of this man should be told: Stil- well passes through Chicago in his private car often and frequently calls on one or two life insurance men who encouraged him ten years ago. One day he took half a dozen distinguished European financiers, among them couple of English noblemen. into the lit tie office of an old fellow solicitor and introduced him to his party as the man who made him, by en- couraging him when everybody else stigmatized him as an i'm
 practical dreamer. He has sought out other old friends and put them in the way to better things. A few months ago he found one who was setting subscription books. lie gave him a preliminary trial as a negotiator of bonds and then sent hlm to London to handle a big bond issue under conditions that insured success. Stilwell spends much time in New York now-a- days. Although a great talker he says little about his plans and the men who would like most to know them understand only that Still we'll has created a big railroad system in six years and that he means to keep on extending it.
The Mena star., 1899-02-08

for he has done all this in less than
 six years, and his ambition is to push his lines north, east and west.
 He is less than 40 years of age,
 the keencst of financiers, the bold
 est of projectors. He has raised over sixty million dollars in the face of panics and every opposi- tion imaginable, and spent it in his own enterprises, and he is said to be by no means rich.
 He was called dreamer up to a year or two ago; to day he is ad- mitted to be a towering figure, whose plans aim at the diver sion of the products of the West towards new outlets to Europe, and the wrestling of vast traf- ic from railroad lines which regard it as theirs by right. This is Arthur E. Stilwell. president of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad, and about fifty of it's allied enterprises.
 How has man designated as impracticable few brief years ago made so immense a leap! Rail road people. while freely admit ting heis factor that must be reck- oned with, say they don't know, and let it go at that. Some of Still wells friends say they don't know either. Others say by having prop. ositions to offer that talked for themselves. Stllwell himself says by striking the word ''can't' out of his vocabulary. Whatever be the explanation, the career of d man who at one end of decade run hing around enduring snubs, sights and worse, trying to insure peoples lives, and at the other welding all the power of rail- road magnate, increasing in i'm portance daily, must be interest ing, and Stilwell is.
 He Is big man ph ysically. standing over six feet in his shoes and weighing upwards of 200 pounds. He was born in Rochester, N. Y. and was a slim youth of 22 when he wandered into Chicago in 1883 and secured a job as solici- tor with life insurance company. He was crammed full of schemes. Men who worked with him say he was genius in this direction, but, like many other geniuses, could stick to no one thing. After he had made square thing, he want ed to make round thing, then a long thing, then a short-anything different from what he was doing. He remained in Chicago five years then moved to Kansas City with an idea in his head of starting trust company. He somehow sc cured some backing, all of it else where than Chicago, for his friends there, with one or two exceptions, said he was nothing,butan cnthusi asst who needed balance. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust Go. was started with Mir. Stilwell as vice. president. The Trust company fourished and StiIwelI, in the course of couple of years, found himself a man of promi- ncnce in Kansas City. The presi-
