CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and Sulphur,
Acid for RAISING Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
l1cited by some. of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
poWder-'cheap and just as good,'
as they say. This is another scheme
of some baking powder manufacturer
to get a new brand on the market by
Offering the grOce" a large profit.
H~ousekeepers are not usually much
benefited by such changes. Alum bak-
ing powders are generally low priced,
but they are well known to be detri-
mental to health. Large quantities of
one of them We're recently seized in
New York, being found to be largely
composed of sharp-pointed grains of
ground flint n sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has
patented the process of making the
principal ingredient of his powder from
bones digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should ley
er encourage peddlers nor admit test
ers or alleged eX~perimenters in food
within their doors, and When buying
baking powder should get a brand we'll
known to be made of cream of tartar,
which is q healthful product of the
grape.

S THAT FLY FOR LIFE
Interesting Scenes While Voyaeing in.

the Gulf Of Mexico.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: Watch
ing the flying fish in the Gulf of Mexico is
one of the favorite pastimes of persons
who make the voyage across the gulf for
the first time, and the habit is not an I'M
interesting enc, for there is much to be
learned, much that is new and attractive
to the stranger. There is something par
ticularly fascinating about the flying fish
in the Gulf of Mexico.
During a trip recently we ran into great
schools OF them between here n Vera
Cruz, and it was difficult not to believe at
these times that they We're simply making
sport of the big vessel that was blowing
through the blue waters of the gulf. They
would dart. across the bow of the ship,
scanper this way and that, and seemed
to be IN a playful mood all the while.
They looked like animated sprays, mere
flashes and splashes of water; now taking
this form, now that; now shooting along
with the course of the ship; now bounding
out from the vessels side, and all the
while apparently conscious Of the fact
that men and women were watching
them. They seemed to take somewhat Of
pleasure from the enjoyment of the hui
man beings. But, Of course, they were
busy with other problems. 1t was not a
pleasant business either. 1t was a matter
of life and death with them. They were
being pursued by their enemies. The
only way they could escape was by leav-
ing the water for a while. The enemy
has not learned his little trick Of flying,
and, consequently could not follow when
the flying fish spread their wings and
scared in the air for a while.
1t is remarkable what distances these
delicate members can go on their poorly
trained Wings. l have seen them fly as
Tar as two city blocks. The are inter

Member of Canadian Parliament Talks
Reciprocity in Boston.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 12.-John Charl-
ton, member Of the Canadian parlia-
ment, delivered a forceful address upon
the subject of Reciprocity With Cam
ada before the Boston Chamber of
Commerce today. The tenor of his ad-
dress vas that the United States must
grant more liberal tariff provisions or
the Canadian tariff rates would even
tually be advanced.
Absolute free trade, he said, be-
tween the two countries is impossible.
In conclusion he said: "a critical hour
is at hand. when Canada will have ar
rived at the parting Of the ways, and
will decide whether she shall cultivate
her intimate aud natural relations
with the United States or put UP her
tariff wall against that country and be-
come a component part Of the great inn
perial trade federation. The United
States an decide that the latter shall

BIG CATTLEMEN DEPART.
Range Country West of Missouri River
BEING Fast Settled Up.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 1S.-The govern
ment land west of the Missouri is fast
being taken by the homesteader, com
polling large cattle companies to with
draw and look for other places in
which to operate. Harris Franklin, a
large cattle man of Deadwood has sold
out his range interests as he declares
that the open range has been practical
ly wiped out by the homesteader. The
Driskills are going to South America
to look up q new location for the same
reason. The Conner Bros. of Spearfsh
have moved their cattle to Canada and
the AXE Tomb outfit is ais pulling
out. This is the strongest evidence OBJ
tainable that the country west Of the
river will soon take a prominent part
in the affairs of the state of South Da-
kota, both politically and CONNER
cially.

Rice. This is the second trial of the

city in both trials. In this case Mrs.
Hedglln was suing for $4,000 personal
damages, alleging serious injuries by
reason of the negligence of the city
