viii Not Pose as Actor
"IIis theatrical venture is but an
other evidence of his versatility, and in
six months time you will see that no
man will stand higher in the esteem
Of the public not merely as an actor
one can scarcely call him that for he
will not dissemble-but over and above
everything as a man. He is not going
TO attempt to make himself what he is
not. He is not going TO make UP to re-
semble anyone else. He is going to be
just 'Scotty' and 'Scotty' surrounded at
that by four of the old friends of his
harder life. To be sure he will have
company Of actors and actresses, the
very best money can hire, to furnish
the setting for his reproduction of his
wonderful career, but the man himself
Is of sufficient interest to attract at
tention without side lights.
'Scotty' is only twenty-nine years
OF age, with handsome face and form
and the indescribable something in his
his feet, and his life has been filled with
the most thrilling of incidents. An
actual reproduction OF them needs no
touch of fancys hattering brush to
make them fascinating in the extreme.
This man possesses every trait neces-
sary to make him a tremendous sue
cess. Beneath his long coat and blue
flannel shirt he is a grand man with
a noble heart and under his slouch hat
and unkempt hair is 81 deep, thinking
brain.
Goes East in December
"IIis spirit knows no fear, except that
OF God. 1t is his ambition to show
few scornful people HON much of
man he really is. And personally be-
lieve that although he has come into
notice in the full blaze OF the sun of
prosperity, he is yet no tropical plant
born to live and die IN a moment, but
the natural product of sterner stuff
advancing and improving and develop
ing day by day until all may be glad he
lives and is what he is-if for nothing
else than that he is a typical self
made American man."
This letter was mailed TO a promi
nent club man of New York, who wrote
to King at length, and requested his
opinion of "Scotty." King says the role
of manager of character such as
"Scotty" has its thorns as we'll as its
roses, but he wishes to be known above
all else as the friend of the Death val
lev mystery and that he is interested
in developing the good qualities in the
man for the sake of "Scotty' more than
for all other reasons.
King and "Scotty" are arranging to
start east early in next month and the
trip will be made on a special train,
which will be run at a speed of one
mile a minute through to New York if
the railroads will agree to the PROPOSE
ton.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every-
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that

Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in

commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed reinforcement, or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Few Enormously Rich IN France

Few Enormously Rich in France.
The French ministry Of finance has
Just published the statistics Of the wills
proved in France in 1903, and from this
it is evident that the number of the very
rich in the country has been grossly ex-
aggerated. Last year only 497 wills
leaving more than 100000 francs, or
$4,000, were proved, and of these only
IA exceeded ZOO 10000 francs, or 6 so. 900.
There were only eight fortunes of more
than 10000, 900 francs, or 94O0, 900, and
the highest of all was of the exceptional
value of G2,000, 900 1t is evident, then.
that the real millionaires in France are
very few, but it should be noted that
rich men in France marry rich wives, so
that q family may be much more
wealthy than the will of either father or
mother would imply. But the fact re-
mains that the Frenchman is too wise
to be given over to the hunger for gold,
and that the whole joy Of living for him
IS not eentered in piling UP dollars, as it
seems to be across the Atlantic. Lon

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: "a Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Ac or
Phosphate, and (S) Cream Of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint Of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
(1) MineraE-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
Is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents a pound, and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c. a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
vitrioI and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion"
ETC.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents a pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all rips
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is seraped from the cask, boiled with
water, and crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
in baking powder to act upon the
soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents
pound.
Such are the facts. and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents OF
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.
