But more than all is the intellig- ! ence that the artistic talent of the youth, which has heretofore been mentioned in THE OASIS. has at- tracted the attention of the auth critics of the University, who have insisted upon his receiving art in-

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds OF ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, WE'D Min
erai-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to
know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
% Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from a 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 pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to Csc pound.
(2) BoneAcid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer 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 Wit
riol 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.
CD Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boil
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. 1t differs in
no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
Of Tartar, then, while the most eXpen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as it's wholesome
ness 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:-Baling
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.

traders are again taken to task for
allowing other nationalities to elbow
them out of a promising market.
"The American, Dane and German"
writes M. Cooke ARE already there

fruitful fields of enterprise. These rich
regions will be to Russia's increasing
millions what the colonies are to the
British isles. Even now Russian i'm

THE WAR GOES ON
NO NEW MOVE FOR PEACE IN
LABOR TROUBLES.
EXPRESS COMPANIES ARE FIRM
Refusal to Take Back Any Of the
Strikers Officially Announced,-The
Strike in the Lumber Yard Districts
Spreads Rapidly.

CHICAGO-Final rejection Of union
demands, especially those OF the ex.
press drivers. was officially announced
Wednesday by the employers. They
demand practically unconditional sur.
render. Neither side in the strike
made a direct step towards peace and
each was apparently waiting the next
move of its opponent. The employers
sent their goods all over the city UNI
der police protection without encoun-
tering violence. There was one peace
effort and 1t was enveloped in mys-
terry. 1t was said that "a prominent
business man" was making efforts to
enduce the managers of the express
companies to make terms satisfactory
to striking drivers, and that he had
promised them good news" Nothing
came of the attempt, however, and
there was no good news for either
side.
The strike in the lumber district
spread Wednesday with great rapid
ity and practically all business of that
kind is at a standstill Some few lum-
Der yards are still in operation, but
their volume of business is so small
as to amount to practically nothing. A
number of planning mills and sash and
door factories were compelled to
least, will be compelled to close en-.
tirely If the supply of lumber is not
large increased. The lumber yards
made little effort to transact business
today and were waiting for drivers to
be sent them by the Employers Team
ing company. A number of these, 1t Is
expected, will be at work tomorrow,
and it is expected business will be
resumed in small degree at least.
One cause for the lack of energy
on the part of the employers in the
lumber district was that the city was
not able to afford the police protec-
ton. Mayor Dunno provided against
this contingency by issuing a call for
1000 extra policemen, who will be
sworn in as rapidly as applications
are filed by suitable men. This will be
the second 1000 extra policemen
sworn in since the commencement of
the strike. Sheriff Barrett swore in
several hundred deputies. the largest
number at any time since the begin
ming of the trouble.
United States deputy marshals COM
menced serving notices on the sixty
transfers who have been cited for
contempt of court in violating the in
functions of Judge Kohlsaat, prohibit
ing them from interfering with the
wagons of the seven express compan-
les and of the the Employers Team
ing company. The men are cited to
show cause on May 81 at 10 o'clock
why they should not be punished for
contempt.

MAY CORN PRICE ADVANCES.
Stampede Sends Option Up Six Cents
and Wheat Advances Also.

CHICAGO-A stampede of shorts
advanced the price of corn for May
delivery precisely cents a bushel. It
was current gossip that the May op-
ton is practically cornered by a few
prominent traders. A desire to avoid
possibly greater loss than already in
Cured was the cause Of the urgent
demand today from those who were
on the wrong side of the market. The
May delivery opened at SO cents. The
price quickly jumped up to SO cents a
bushel
A somewhat similar situation devel-
oped in the wheat pit. On an active
demand from shorts the price Of
wheat for May delivery was forced up
4 cents a bushel. Much of the gain
was subsequently lost on profit TAX
ing, May wheat opened at 90 cents.
