Tree Economy

The difference Of cost between a
good and a poor baking powder
would not amount for a family's
supply to one dollar a year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
d.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
may cost a little more per can, but
it is more economical in the end, be-
cause it goes further in leavening and
insures perfect, wholesome food.
Dr.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
used always in making the biscuit
and cake saves both health and
money. Made from pure, grape
cream of tartar, most healthful OF
fruit acids.

American Troops May Go.

Washington, June 15.-It seems
probable that after all the United
States troops in the Philippines will
be called upon TO furnish contingent
to assist in the rescue OF the foreign
missionaries in China and III the pro-
lection of the foreign embassies and
a great change has come
over the administration in this re-
gard. Even when the cabinet met this
morning there was a disposition TO
limit the United States forces en-
ployed to the navy but it is believed
the navy has done all it can do with
safety In China at this age and re-
course must be had to the army IN
qt,iries are being made of the navi-
9ation bureau and Admiral Refney to
see to what extent our forces, in China
can be augmented. 1t is realized that
the small force now engaged is entirely
.Gisproportionate when compared with
the foreign contingents to the inter-
est and duty of the United States. The
newspaper reports that the. Chinese
imperial troops are opposing the pro-
gress of the relief column, have given
great concern and without doubt have
had much to do with bringing about
a determination to increase the United
States contingent II is admitted that
the cabinet is seriously considering the
dispatch of troops to Tien Tsin and it
is understood that inquiries are being
made of General Macarthur as to the
number of troops he can spare for an
emergency and the possibility of Sc
curing transportation.

there is no room in the harbor or on
the shores Of Lake Michigan to handle
it; so they are going to deepen the
river 10 twenty -six feet and widen it
200 feet, Cor is.it 200 yards?) so that
they may have and endless chain of
boats to go single file, one side to car
ry the commerce of the lakes down
this reversed river to the country and
the other side of the chain to carry
the products of the farmer up the riv-
er to the lakes; and thus they expect
to hold the vast trade of the coun-
try and have it all pass thru Chicago.
Great is Chicago, and great is all this
country! Great should all be in good
ness and the correct principles of self
government as an example for all
countries and for all people.

Austin. Texas. February 14-When the
double header discussion was resumed this
afternoon superintenden; Goode, on be-
half OF the Fort Worth and Denver, said
that since his road had adopted the dou-
Bile header system his road had nor had an
accident; the chances Of disaster had been
reduced because Of the fewer number OF
trains and a reduction Of the number OF
employees of 80 per cent, His road had
saved $4,000 IN the operation OF these
trains. He then quoted from statistics
prepared by the interstate commerce com
mission giving the casualties on different
groups OF roads during the year 1897 which
showed fewer casualties on roads OPP rating
