WARMING to Housewives,

The average consumer of baking pow
der does not know that reaction occurs
In the plocess Of baking. Whenever a
chemical reaction takes place, the nature
of the original materials Is entirely
changed, so that he substances which
remain In the food TO be eaten are very
different from those which composed the
baking powder before baking, For this
reason, the statement that a baking
powder contains alum or cream of tartar
Is worthless so far as informing the
consumer as to what he eats. What the
consumer wants to know Is what goes
into his stomach, not what is in the can.
Food prepared with cream of tartar
baking powder does not contain any
cream of tartar, just as food prepared
with alum baking powder Is free from
alum. In the case Of the hlgh-prced
trust baking powders this bread residue
consists Of Rochelle Salts, the active
when food prepared with these trust
Is taking a dose Of Seidlitz Powders.
Rochelle Salts is a medicine and not a
food, and this constant dosing will se-
riously derange the digestive organs.
Prof. Wiley chemist Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has declared
In substance that "A loaf Of bread made
from a quart Of flour leavened with
cream Of tartar baking powder contains
As grains more of Rochelle Salts than
is contained in one Seidlitz Powder" At
a hearing before the Committee on Pub
lie Health of the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture on a bill designed to prevent this
wholesale dosing of the public, the fol-
lowing eminent Boston physicians testi-
fed against the healthfulness of Roch-
ellie Salts, and strongly recommended The
passage of a law which would prohibit
the sale Of powders which left this dam
gerous drug in foou: Dr. Hartung DR.. G.
o. Kepler, DR.. F. B. Foster Dr.. G. M.
Palmer.
Why should the consumer pay forty
five or fifty cents per pound for baking
powder when the best baking powder
In the world can be made to retail at
twenty-five cents per pound (the price
asked for Calumet Baking Powder and
leave a fair manufacturers profit? The
manufacturers Of Calumet Baking Pow
der have for years made standing Of \
fer Of $1,0OO00 for any substance irju-
rous to health found In food prepared
from 1t. Bread made from Calumet Is en-
tirely free from Rochelle Salts, alum,

Cure to Stay Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Oct, 10 (Special)--
One Of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County Is
that Of Mrs. Minnie Hart Of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months
and when she was able to sit up she
was all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak.
Ing Of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after was In bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and |
have not been down since. In four
weeks from the time started taking
them was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful ! am
to be cured or how much feel | owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
tie Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenthsl Of
the suffering the human family Is heir
to, will disappear.

IT'S WORK ENDED.
International Peace Congress Of 1904
wv kdIourns. ~

Boston, Oct. l2.-There were two
aspects memorable in their nature,
according to the delegates themselves,
which have made a profound i'm
preston during the deliberations Of
the International Peace Congress,
which was brought to a close in this
city, after many meetings extending
throughout the week.
One Of these was that the congress
together with its numerous public
gatherings which were held under
Its auspices, constituted one Of the
most remarkable educational infuen-
ces ever observed in America. The
second aspect or conviction was that
this years congress should prove Of
vast efficacy toward the attainment
Of universal peace, If an espoused
public sentiment and a thorough ex-
position Of the absurdity and horrors
Of warfare was to be Of any avail any.
where.
The congress was adjourned to con.
tinue its work In 1905 at Lucerne,
Switzerland. Besides adopting reso.
buttons denouncing war and calling
for the creation of international OBJ
ligatory arbitration treaties the con-
gress passed upon specific conditions.
One of Its last acts was to recommend
an inquiry by the powers into the
Congo Free State, which is at present
under the personal rule Of King Leo
pold Of Belgium,
The present Russo-Japanese war
was treated by a resolution calling
upon the emperors Of the two coun-
tries to end the conflict at once, or
that failing, for the powers to exer-
else the authority granted by article
27 Of the Hague pact and intervene,
so that the war might be terminated.
In this connection the congress sug-
gested to the powers the adoption Of
a positive peace, making the peace
insuring treaty under which all war
would be possible but for a brief per-
iod.
One Of the most practical acts of
the congress was to favor the estab-
lishment in the leading cities of the
world of branches of the international
peace bureau at Berne, so that the
masses Of the people might be reared
to the understanding that information
al harmony among all people was the
sane and natural principle Of life.

BIG BATTLE DAILY EXPECTED.
The Battle Upon Which the Facts Of
This Years Campaign In Manchuria
Depends Seems Only Few Days
OF

While General Kuropatkin has con.
tinued to advance his entire front
against he armies Of Field Marshal
Oyama, he has not met with any for
midable opposition. However, the ex-
pectation is that a battle Of magni-
tude must be fought within a few
days. 1t is believed that the Japanese
will make stand at Liao Yang. Sew
eral positions east Of that place have
been abandoned by the Japanese.
At st. Petersburg 1t has been sur
missed that Field Marshal Oyamas
forces have been weakened by the
dispatch Of troops to aid General Nogi
to take Port Arthur and that this has
afforded General Kuropatkin an open.
Ing to recover land lost during the
month Of August.
st. Petersburg, Oct. ia battle
upon which the fate of this years
campaign in Manchuria depends
seems only few days ahead. Advic-
es from the front are meager. All
that Is positively known is that Cen
eral Kuropatkin has cast the die at
last and Is marching resolutely
against the enemy, as If resolved to
do or to die.
Little light has been thrown upon
the considerations which led General
Kuropatkin suddenly to assume the
offensive, but no word is heard at the
war office intimating that the course
savors Of rashness. Officers of the
general staff, while not understand.
ing the heavy task and severest sac
rifces that are involved in assuming
the offensive nevertheless express abb
solute confidence that General Kuro-
patkin has found weak point in the
Japanese armor. Different explana-
tons abound as to the reason for
making the forward movement at
this time. The advance is attributed
to a realization by General Kuropat.
kin Of the difficulty the Japanese have
encountered in making good their
losses at Lao Yang and replenishing
their supplies and ammunition, or
possibly to the drawing off of the Jap
anes troops to reinforce General Nogi
in a desperate endeavor to end the
siege of Port Arthur.
Whatever the explanation 1t is ap-
parent from the hasty manner in
which the Japanese withdrew before
the first show of Russian strength
that their recent ostentatious prepare
tons for an advance were largely
bluff. The best opinion here is that
the impending battle is likely to de.
velop with startling rapidity.
1t is reported that the Japanese
have abandoned Sianchan, Saimatze
and Meichoulin, positions east Of
Liao Yang.

Russians Take Bentsiaputze by Flank

Japanese Line Of Communication,
While Theirs is Unsafe.

The moment to go to meet the
enemy,for which the whole army has
been longing, has come, and the time
has arrived to compel the Japanese
to do our will, for the forces Of the
Manchurian army are strong enough
to begin a forward movement.
General Kuropatkin to his army.
St. Petersburg, Oct. M.-Following
Is the text of an order Of the day is
sued by General Kuropatkin and dat
ed Mukden, October 2:
More than seven months ago the
enemy treacherously fell upon us at
Port Arthur before war had been
declared. Since then, by land and
sea, the Russian troops have per-
formed many heroic deeds Of which
the fatherland may be justly proud.
The enemy, however, is not only ov.
erthrown but, in his arrogance con-
tinues to dream Of complete victory.
"The troops Of the Manchurian
army In unvarying good spirits,
hitherto have not been numerically
strong enough to defeat the Japanese
army. Much time Is necessary for
overcoming all the difficulties Of
Strengthening the active army so as
to enable it to accomplish with COM
plete success the arduous but honor
able task imposed upon 1t. 1t is for
this reason, that, in spite of the re-
peated repulse of Japanese attacks
upon our positions at Tatchekiao,
Liandiansian and Liaoyang | did not
consider that the time had arrived to
take advantage of these successes and
to begin a forward movement, and |
therefore gave the order to retreat.
"You left the positions you had so
heroically defended, covered with
piles of the enemy's dead and without
allowing yourselves to be disturbed
by the foe and in full preparedness
for fresh fight. After a five days
battle at Liaoyang,you retired on new
positions which had been prepared
previously. After successfully defend
ing all advanced and main positions.
you withdrew to Mukden under most
difficult conditions.
Attacked by General Kuroki's army
you marched through most impossible
mud, fighting throughout the day, and |
extricating guns and carts with your
hands at night and then returned to
Mukden without ABANDONING a single |
gun, prisoner or wounded man, and
with the baggage train entirely intact.
81 ordered the retreat with a sor-
rowful heart, but with mistaken conf
dence that 1t was necessary in order
to gain complete and decisive victory
over the enemy when the time came"

nacial conditions, particularly with ref
erence to the ability Of the Russian
treasury to meet the enormous war
expenses, were discussed by Gregory
Vilenkine, financial agent Of the Rus
sian embassy in an interview with the
Associated Press. He explained that
the Russian bank notes upon the re-
cent large issues Of which the for
eign press had laid great stress, are
secured by gold in the treasury. NJ.
Vilenkine said:
ION February Of the current year
the gold reserve of the state bank
consisted Of 915 million roubles, Of
which there were nearly 59S,O0O,OO0
roubles Of bank notes in circulation.
by August /, 1904, the gold re.
serve Of state bank consisted Of 94S,-
100000 roubles, while there were only
695,3OO,O0O roubles in bank notes In
circulation.
AS a whole the war expenditures
Of Russia from the beginning of the
campaign until the end Of the year
may approximately be placed at from
325,OOO,OO0 to 65O,O0O,0O0 roubles.
With regards to the means for cover
ing Of this expenditure until forseen
by the budget, 1t must be regarded that
the reserve in the government treas
ury by January 1, 1904, consisted Of
312,O00,0OO roubles, and after the
covering Of all outstanding expendi-
lures according to the budget Of 1904
1t amounted to 13O,0OO,OOO roubles, to
which there must be added 135,O00,O00
roubles Of economies realized by the
Of already sanctioned expen.
ditures for the current year; also ~
million roubles realized from the issue
Of 5 per cent treasury bonds, and $780,.
100000 roubles realized from the So
per cent treasury bills. The govern
ment treasury thus far has at Its dis
posal approximately 7OO,0OO,OOO rou-
bles, which is sufficient for the cover
ing of the above expenditures without
applying for any new loans.
