Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indispens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthfu food
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, I'M
healthfu articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, buildings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

NEW PAVING MATERIAL.
Oakland, Cal. Is Trying an ExperI-
mcnt with Asphalt and Red
wood Blocks Combined.

Fifteen or twenty years ago a good
deal was heard OF wood payements for
streets. They were quiet and smooth
and fairly we'll suited TO the residence
districts Of city, but did not stand
the wear and tear of heavy traffic very
well. Then, when the blocks became
worn and rotten. as they did, they abb
sorbed disease germs and lessened the
saIubrity of the neighborhood. or late
wood payements have gone out of fash
ion almost entirely. Something new
in this line is now reported from Oak
land, Cal, however, and il may prove
so successful as TO reyolutionize the
ideas of civil and sanitary engineers.
In Oakland the wear and tear comes
on a layer of asphalt which covers the
wood and not directly on the latter.
The blocks are six inches square and
four inches deep. They are laid on a
bed of concrete, after having been
soaked in hot asphalt. A mixture of
hard asphalt and California liquid as
Jhait, in equal parts, raised to tenn
perature of between $50 and 400 de-
grees Fahrenheit, is employed. The
interval during which immersion lasts
is from three to five minutes. This treat
ment renders the blocks waterproof.
They are then laid from curbstone to
curbstone.
4 mixture of asphalt and carbonate
Of lime is heated and poured upon
the wood pavement. This is so soft a
liquid that it runs down into all the
intersticcs, and even works its way un-
der the wood. If there are any holes
there. Not until the fluid has been
poured on three successive times is the
surface properly covered and the spaces
between the blocks well filled. Sand
TO the depth of a quarter of an inch is
rolled into the asphalt when the last
application has been made of the lat
ter. The carpet thus formed has so
hard surface that il withstands ordi-
nary light traffic for two or three years.
ID can oe renewed at an expense of less
than half cent per square foot. Re
newal seems TO be necessary where red
wood is used but hard wood can re-
main bare for longer time without in

MATER.

The cry of "Water'' means almost &C
much to the i%nhabitsnt of the Rio
Grande valley AZ II does TO travellers In
the desert of Sahara. Our noble river
that for the greater part of two years
has been not only dry but dusty has 1T
last decided to go back to work for q
little while. IL is doubtful If the water
comes In time to save the crops In the
valley below us, as much of the young
stuff Is already damaged, apparently
beyond recovery. However, If the
flow keeps up any length of time, it
will give the earth q good soaking and
help the farmers through . lard sea-
son.
So great is the suffering and loss
every year on account of lack Of water
hat unless the internatiopa al dam and
Q dam in the upper valley are secured
within q very short time, the farmers
of the Rio Grande valley will have to
resort to irrigation from wells. There
is plenty Of water all
through the valley a short
distance beneath The surface, and II is
quite possible that cooperative irrigs-
tion works may be established that
will enable the farmers to irrigate
their forage crops in this way as even
now they water their orchards and
vineyards.
AS everybody knows, the Rio
Crande is not a dry river but
simply q sunken stream flowing under
ground at all seasons of the year in
abundant quantities. OF course the
level Of the water rises and falls with
the seasons, but in the opinion of some
very competent engineers a large mea-
sure OF relief might be afforded by a
rough barrier In the river bed, extend
ing down to bed rock, that would oper-
ate to raise the level of the under
ground stream aud make possible the
use of very much less pumping force
in irrigating from systems OF wells. 1t
ia possible that the people of the valley
will yet adopt this partial solution OF
their problem.
