ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

1t is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers irving
to sell or introduce so-called "cheap"
or loW-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used
and it is claimed that the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known To be
detrimental to health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress-
has forbidden the sale Of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. S. ". Johnson, for instance.
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: Bread made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice. and must, therefore, act
as poison.
1t is we'll known that these so-ealled
cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-uusrter
sharp pointed grains of ground tint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid.
and salts of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well-known cream CT tartar
brand. and never buy from peddlers.

BREAKING OF DOGS
The Skill Cannot Be Acquired from
the Reading of Books.
A Trainer of Dogs Points Ont Some
of the Most GlarinG Errors Which
Prevail in Fitting Dog
for the Hunt.

It is often said that half the books that
are written telling how TO break dog
to hunting are untrue, and that the other
half are written to prove them so. II
there be measure of accuracy in the
statement, it must be concluded that the
way TO learn to break dog is upon the
field under the tutelage of a competent
dog trainer 1t is not necessary to teach
pointer or setter to point in room be-
fore introducing it to game. This is so
because the young dogs of these days, If
we'll bred. at least. point naturally, and
the last thing any dog ought to be taught
is TO point to order. If his breaker knows
the better when the dog should point,
the obvious thing to do is to leave him in
kennel, and go shooting without him.
This is not only true of private breaking,
1t is true of field trial breakers. Indeed.
one of the most successful owners asked
me this season how it happened that
certain field-trial breakers dogs always
have a good deal of false point, or creepi-
ness, about them. OF course. | did not
know, but it often happens that man
who habitually has false pointers is one

physician, says:
Scarlet Fever of a very malignant type

Pride of HIS Performance.

In a DOWNTOWN church, as the story
goes, there was introduced a new hymn
last Sunday, and, after the disposal of the
services, the organ blower found his way
to the players bench and asked in a meek
voice How did the music for that new
hymn go this evening""
Oh, very well, very well, indeed" re-
piled the organist but why do you ask"
'.Wel, said the blower, I'll tell you
the truth | was bit nervous and bit
worried about it, for, you see he went
on explaining, II never blowed for that
hymn before. Philadelphia Press.

first. to rely upon his breaker to tell him
when to point; and, secondly, to point
before he is sure of game, that is, to false
point
When he has been "To-hoed" into these
bad habits, take him home and shoot him,
for he is quite useless. This may seem
harsh thing to say, but 1t IS not only that
a false pointer is himself useless. but
that he spoils every dog that is hunted
with him; for the best dogs are soon put
off their backing if they are hunted with
false pointer.

roneous bookish education of the teach

has happened the point may be at lark,
a hedgehog, a field-mouse, or nothing
whatever, and flattery. on the SUPPOSE
ton that he is pointing game. will make
him commit the same error at the next
opportunity.
The greatest trouble in all breaking is
70 undo the errors previously taught,
possibly by inadvertence, probably by
wrong system. and this double point
ing will generally last through life If the
breaker begin by encouraging it. AL
though. as l have said, the textbooks
make these bad blunders, and the ma
iority of breakers follow them, the field
trial men know better; and yet they
know TO more than the artists of hun
bred years ago knew, for these men did
not make the plumbers of the moderns.
The simple way of breaking dogs is to
tall; 10 them as if they were children,
and to prevent them from doing wrong
&C often as is possible. 1t is wonderful
then what very few minutes in the day
will accomplish; but if, on the contrary,
dogs are started wrongly, and have to

ton times as long as the whole business

TYING THE KNOT IN ENID.
Oklahoma Justices of the Peace BE-
IieVe in Expediting Business
of All Kinds.

In Oklahoma, as everywhere else
throughout the southwest here there
is little time for the practice of con-
yentionalities and little DISPOSE
ton to encourage them, the demand is
for men who are capable of rising on
short notice TO every emergency.
The fourishing little town OF Enid
IS an example There the majority OF
the people are so busily engaged in lay
ing the foundation stones of an empire
that they have little time TO bestow
upon matters Of purely social or seE-
timental nature Somebody, however.
must attend 10 the les. serious #af-
fairs of the community, and that there
may be no cause for complaint on this
score a justice of the peace is elected
periodically, whose duty it Is to pick
up and shoulder all the responsibilities
that his fellow-citizens feel like shak-
ing off Among other things, he is
required 10 perform marriage cere-
monies And he is expected TO perform
them with as little delay as possible
Simplicity and expedition are the main
considerations. for the contracting par
ties are usually in hurry TO get back
to their respective vocations, labor be-
ing the most precious thing in the ter
ritory that hopes at an early day TO
become sovereign state.
Hence the ritual compiled by Justice
Shoemaker, ore of the earliest Of the
general utility officials of Enid, is .still
closely adhered to. A couple enters the
Justices office. The eXpectant groom
makes known the object of the visit
The justice goes to the door of his Of
fee and cries: Come into court. Two
or three citizens respond. These act
as witnesses. The happy pair are COM
manded TO join hands, and the justice
proceeds:
John Alexander McDoughall, do you
take Mary Ann Eliza Smithson TO be
your welded wife? Answer yes or no
Yes. " assents the groom.
Mary Ann Eliza Smithson. you
heard what John said. Now. are you
willing to take him for your lawful
husband? Address the court and speak
loud enough for these witnesses to
hear. Answer yes or no"
Yes" answers the bride.
Then, says the justice this is the
case of John Alexander McDoughall
and AIRY Ann Eliza Smithson ct al.
and ex rel, and the territory of Okla
home S. I, George Washington jack
son, declare and make these presents
known, that personally appeared before
me this day the parties hereinbefore
named, who, being duly sworn, state
that they will take each other in mar
riage. Therefore, by the authority
vested in me by the constitution OF
Oklahoma, | pronounce you man and
Wife. And let no man put you asunder.
You owe me So"
Thus does the Oklahoma justice OF
the peace rise to the requirements of
people who have no time for the con-
ventionalities. Later on, when they
shall have succeeded in building up the
empire, and when they may indulge
themselves in more leisure, doubtless
they will demand that more ceremonial
shall be thrown around affairs OF this
kind, but for the present the simple
ritual followed in Enid meets every
want, and is sufficiently binding to sat
isfy the most punctilious sticklers Tor
