HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

A recent seizure Of lot Of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities Of
- 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 stuff
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 confscated 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.

Convention just Held at Detroit Com.

Just concluded at Detroit. Annually
the four missionary societies of this
great brotherhood gather together.
Their churches are entirely indepen-

together in contributing to and help
ing on missionary effort at home and
abroad
This year the societies reported the
greatest progress they have ever had.
The Disciples Of Christ are the most
rapidly growing of all religious bodies
During the past year they added over
100000 to the church, with q net in
crease Of over $4,000 to their ranks.
They organized 225 new churches AL

States, and they raised nearly 81 ,000,-

total from all sources being $7,135. O65.
For missionary work carried on by
three societies they raised 1851 900; for
education and benevolent w@Sk, $780,

900. In 1909 they numbered one con.
gregation, with a membership Of less
than 20. Now there are 1000 congre-
gations-in every state OF the union
save New Hampshire and Nevada, and
in many countries abroad Generally
speaking, they hold the evangelical be-

emphasize the Importance of a closer
observance of New Testament practice
and teaching. They were the first, as

a Beautiful Tribute.

The knightly soul OF the brave
man, loyal friend and devoted brother
whose name has graced these columns
since the birth of the State, twelve
years ago, has crossed the river and
the paths his willing feet have trod
shall know him no more. But along
their ways, from the seed he sowed,
flowers are blooming and the air he
loved to breathe, the air of his ma
tive State, is sweet with the incense
of his noble words and deeds.
To die for his State, even by the
loathly hand that struck him down,
was sweet to him. During the four
days of mortal agony that followed
his cruel wounding no words save
those of love and sympathy for his
bereaved kindred passed his lips. he
died with his face to God, a gentle
man unafraid.
With heavy hearts his work is
taken up by those who loved him
we'll, and in his pame the State is
pledged anew to the principles for
which he gave his life.
