cow CHEAP BAKING POWDER
Is MADE.

A recent seizure Of lot Of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities OF
q neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands OF
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering throughout the
country. The price Of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
were taken and analysed. The official
report Of the analysis showed the stun
to be "alum powders" composed chiefly
Of alum. sulphuric acid and pulverized
rock. The powders were declared dan
gerous to health and several thousand
pounds were confiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called Cheap baking powders.
They are all found, when analysed, to
contain large percentages Of alum and
sulphuric acid to which are added vari-
Gus sorts Of filling matter sometimes
both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar bak-
ing powders, are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
food better and more healthful.

stories high, and containing 100 bed
rooms, which will be opened in time to
accommodate the members of the Brit

deed, threatened to do something pref
ty radical. Bruce Price, famous pio-
neer in tall architecture, worked out Q
plan for a 35-story Sun building upon
its present site-a simple shaft 400
feet tall and rs feet square. 1t was to
have its heating plant and power house
on less expensive land down the street.
This monumental Office would have
been built and it would have been even
now the tallest Office structure in New
York, but just then came financial
panic and when that was over other
plans prevailed. saw the plans
hanging in Mr. Laffan's Office, where he

sensationalism, small but excellent
staff and prides itself upon its editorial

respondence. It is printed in very clear
type, and is good three cents worth,
and makes money.
A paper of similar type with some
what larger circulation is the Brooklyn
Eagle, which is setting the Tribune
the example of enlarging its building.
The new Eagle building will be when
completed one Of the finest In the
United States. In Brooklyn there is
no need to economic room; the editors
will have spacious and beautifully fur
nished private rooms to think great
thoughts in.
The Eagle makes a speciality Of sum-

perpendicular, and composed of one
homogeneous mass of rock. The edge
of that side over which the water falls
is worn off two or three feet, and pieces
have fallen away, so as to give it some-

quite straight, except at the left cor
ner, whereAa rent appears and piece
seems inclined to fall of. Upon the
whole, it is nearly in the state in which
it was left at the period Of its forma-i

which is discolored by the annual rise
of the water to that or greater height.

HASSSAAs
Tribune building of ten stories was
erected. It was the marvel Of its day,
and one of the highest Office buildings
ever erected in the old-fashioned way,
before the steel skeleton method was
invented Of raising "sky-scrapers." Its
lower story walls are as thick rs those
of castle on the Rhine. I remember
we'll reading, as a lad in the country.
the description Of the Tribune's new
building and wondering il I should
ever see it. The avid memory of youth
reminds me how the architect proved
that in it the limit of profitable height
was reached. The argument was plau-
sible. The walls of masonry had to be
increased in thickness with every add
ed story, so that there came time
when it did not pay to go higher. be-
cause the mass of masonry became too
enormous, and the valuable room in
the lower stories was too much en-
croached upon. Ten years later an an
mex was erected of the steel frame type.
The contrast in the wall thickness Of
the two structures is startling.
The Tribune building is an important
asset to the paper. Its rentals are high,
almost the whole of it being occupied
by the Offices of Hearst's American,
which distributes press rooms and spe-
cial departments over half dozen
buildings in the neighborhood. The
enlarged building will be one Of the
most profitable structures downtown.
AS the Tribune, which still sells for
three cents copy. cannot hope to Sc
cure a large circulation at that price,
the rentals are an object.

600 year. In the
orthodox churches 1t is the exceptional
man who receives more than $500 an
nually. while there are hundreds who
drop to thousand or less, and some
get down to as low a salary as 500 per
year.
In the Methodist church, there is one
minister in the city who receives as
much as $500 year, and OF this
amount 81 900 is charged him for rent
of the parsonage. leaving him but 50 500
in actual cash. Yet this man is min
fstering to fashionable congrega-
ton, and must live in keeping with his
place in society. Both he and his wife
are expected to devote practically all
of their time to church work, leaving
the home cares to servants which he
must pay for. The street car conduc-
tor, with his SIS month, can save more
money than can this fashionable
preacher.
OF the hundred and more Methodist
churches in Chicago, but seven pay
their preachers $500 a year or better.
The majority pay less than 81 900. The
pay in other orthodox churches will av-
erage about the same, or perhaps lit
tie better, excepting in the smaller de-
nominations. where it will run far be-
low these figures. The First Bohemian
church of Chicago pays its pastor but
500 year.
To secure these meager salaries, men
must have q professional schooling.
The church-going public is no longer
willing to listen to exhorters OF the old
school. They want orators as well as
thinkers.
It Is evident that preaching is one
profession that is poorly paid.
