The operation Of the suction dredges
used by the government in rive and
harbor work is very interesting. A
long. flexible tube twelve to fifteen
inches in diameter drops down from
the side OF the vessel twenty to thirty
feet or more to the bottom of the river
or harbor upon which the dredging is
being performed. The upper end of
this tube is connected to an immense
rotativc centrifugal pump. making sew
cral hundred revolutions Il minute, and
capable of handling many hundreds Of
tons of water an hour. The lower end
of. the tube Is manipulated from the
vessel against the sand-bars and mud
banks, and as the water Is sucked up
ward by the centrifugal pumps a very
large proportion of sand and mud goes
with 1t. The centrifugal pumps dis
charge this water with its suspended
material into the tanks on board the
vessel or scows, where the heavy mat
ter quickly settles to the bottom, the
water flowing back nto the sea.

A Policcman's Nerve.
The non-union conductor probably
owes his life to Policeman John

mar appeared at the window and with

anyone who attempted to enter.
: The trouble occurred owing to the re-
fusal of passengers, among them e

who wore no union buttons. When the
nickels were refused him he announced
the car would stop unless the money

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made,

A recent seizure Of a lot Of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities of
a ne%ighboring 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. Sam
pies were taken and analysed The Of
fetal report Of the analysis showed the
stuff to be ''alum powders" composed
chiefly of alum. sulphuric acid and pull
verified rock. The powders were de-
clared dangerous to health and several
thousand pounds were confiscated and
destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-cahed cheap" baking pow
ders. They are all found. when
analysed, to contain large percentages
of alum and sulphuric acid. to which
are added various sorts of filling mat
ter, sometimes both injurious and
nasty.
The high class. cream Of tartar bak-
ing powders are h 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.

MANUFACTURER OF COTTON.
Tho South 10 Slow in Turning ou.
Finer Grades Of Goods.

UvUVC OV00Vo "
Houston Post: The rapid growth OF
cotton manufacturing In the south a
become a source Of frequent comment
concluding mostly with the remark that
while we are doing much n doing
we'll in this particular we should DO
more and do better. In h words.
intelligent observers Of the south's
progress in the turning OF the staple
into merchantable fabrics are struck
with the TACT that. as yet, but rev at
tempts have been made to produce
cotton goods of the finer grades by
southern promoters of cotton manufac-
turing plants.
Two-thirds Of the south's crop OF cot
ton finds it's way abroad. absorbed as
it is by nations that have learned to
convert a pound OF raw material worth
| 10 cents into a pound Of finished goods
| worth fifteen times that amount n
over. France, for instance. makes
| our cotton field, while we are cOnfin-
ing ourselves to h production OF
| cheap. coarse fabrics. Other nations
| have acquired the knack of transform
mig 1t into expensive underwear n
| hosiery for our consumption. whereas
we are tagging behind, apparently
| without ambition. to v the most
profitable ground In the cotton manu-
featuring field.
1t may be objected that the south Is
! no as yet prepared to compete in the
| manufacture of cotton goods OF the
highest grade: that 1t must feel its
way to the top of the ladder of produc-
| ton in this particular. Admitting. for
the sake of argument. that there is
something in this. there Is no good
reason for not making a few steps into
! the domain of finer manufacture as a
beginning. No N will seriously con-
tend that the south Is not ultimately
destined to work up the bulk Of its raw
cotton. Why, then. should there be
further delay in the promotion OF in
| dustry in its higher branches?

The wife of a well-known attorney

worth reading: My husband WAS u
soldier in the Civil War, and was. as
he called himself, AN old coffee etoler'
and had always drank very strong
coffee.
"About a year ago he complained of
a feeling of faintness every time after
climbing his Office. stairs, and was also
troubled by terrible headaches that al
most drove hin wild.
HE grsfually grew weaker and
weaker: until his affection eliminated

SEEMED to be fading away from US In
spite of all our efforts.
THE physicians pronounced him
strong and well, with no organic tr0u-
BILE whatever, and there seemed to be
nothing : the matter except the COM
plete giving out of his nervous system.
1.-The doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal in it's place. He
improved daily since he quit coffee and
began drinking Postum, and now says
he feels better than he has felt for 20
years, headaches are gone. no more

coffee and drink Postum. He gave hin,
NO medicine. but told him to give
Postum fair trial and return to him in

only about ten days when the Testers
