marks, Mr. Bailey referred to the recent
agreement of the democratic caucus TO

warned the republicans that In the future
they could not depend on struggling DEM
ocratic votes in support of repuplcah
party measures regardless of whether
they were or were not In accord with

Bailey Warns Republicans.

Mr.. Bailey discussed at some length
the attitude Of the democratic senators
against the reciprocity provision Of the
Mckinley law and in doing so, said he
desired that democrats should think alike
and vote alike and not be like their re-
publican colleagues. who, because OF the
necessity OF supporting an administra-
ton. were compelled to vote first and
think afterwards, He confessed how
ever, that the republican party had not
been aIOno in that respect, for democrats
had done the same thing.
But" he added turning towards tho
republican side OF the chamber, you
will hereafter get 10 senators from the
wniie house from this side of the cham
Der, youll have 10 take care of your
selves in the future"
This statement vas accepted as d.
rect reference In the decision OF the
democratic caucus to stand as a unit on
all measures agreed upon by q two
thirds vote of the caucus and aroused
quick interest.
IN some way or another, the repub-
Hcan senators have been able to unite
on measures without a party resolution,
ana when a man boited, he was shot
on the spot. Thy have carried party
discipline TO the point of AFFECT submits
S4JH' w nave iuiNueu our course 10 inc
point OF INSTRUMENTATION. Now, say
that in the future, when your measures
are right, you VIII have the solid demo-
cratic vote; If you are not right, we
viii oppose you"
Addressing the republican side Of the
chamber and leaning far over the aisle
towards the republican senator's most
OF whom were in their seats and giving
him their closest attention. Mr. Bailey
said:
~ don't wonder that you look wor
ried. You will get no help from us You
have been getting it. and always have
been able to find some ono over here
who was willing 10 make an honorable
exception, to use the language OF the
senator from Wisconsin. and vote for
anything you might ask them to vote
for But you viii get no more of our
votes
He concluded this feature of his ad-
dress by asking 70 be pardoned for pub
licly rejoicing over a prospect Of party
unity. and explained that his present at
titude must be explained by his great
disappointment over the lack Of unity
In the recent past He believed that with
a return to the conditions before the
war, the party would return to its suc-
cesses of that time.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
is MADE.

A recent seizure of q 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 manufacturers, are
Offering throughout the country.
The price of the powders first at
tracted 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
dangerous to health and several
thousand pounds were con6scated
and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently
cautioned consumers against mixing
food with so called ''cheap" baking
powders. They are all found, when
analyzed, to contain large percent
ages of alum and sulphuric acid to
which are added various sorts Of fill
ing matter sometimes both injurious
and nasty.
!. The high class, cream Of tartar
baking powder, are the most econo-
mical and wholesome and should al
ways be selected for use. They will
be found cheaper in the end, besides
making the food better and more
healthful. $<-.
