WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used In making
the three different varieties OF baking
powders on the market, viz:-Q) Min
eral-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.
a. Mineral-Acid. or Alum. Is made
from q 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 Csc. a pound.
(2l Bone-Acid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufac-
turer of 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. ..
(3) 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 its 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:-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.

GREAT CHANGE
'aSS.
From Change In Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as nervous affection Of the stom-
ach' was actually SO nervous that
could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible. l doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
MY physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and I tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. l was almost discouraged.
and when tried Grape-Nuts l did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed
But 1t did succeed. and you don't
know how glad l am that I tried it.
feel like a new person, have gain
ed in weight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation in. my stom-
ach any more. feel so strong
again that l am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me so. never notice now. anf my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek. Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process Of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con-
tanned in the natural grain. which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a
sure road back to health in all such
cases.

THE EPWORIH LEAGUE
CONVENTION AT DENVER IN JULY
Small Army at Work Making Prepara'
tions-Larse Attendance Prom
ised From All Sections.

Denver, May 22.-Plans for the In
ternational Epworth League conven-
ton, which meets in Denver, July 9th
to 9th, are maturing rapidly, and the
various chairmen have their work or
ganized to point where they could re-
ceive the visitors at any time they
might choose to come. The program
committee in Chicago has sent word
that brilliant men of national reputa-
tion will be heard at the convention.
Speaking of the work done by the local
executive committee, Secretary w. c.
Williams said yesterday:
"A small army, including over 1000
people, is now working for the Epworth
League convention, committee, and as
the convention approaches this army
will increase in size. The convention
committee is holding meetings every
Friday evening at the Albany hotel
and will continue to meet regularly
until the convention. Every committee
is thoroughly organized and equipped
and could handle the vast crowds that
are coming, with only two weeks no
tice.
There has been considerable specu
lation as to the attendance at the con
vention and some wild prophesies
have been made, but the committee is
very conservative when it places the
| ngures at 10000. Letters from trans
portation managers all over the United
States indicate this. and there are
many parties being formed, of which
the committee has no notice at this
time. The Union Pacific has fifty
trains over its line already scheduled.
THE secretary's office on the second
| floor of the Club building, is a busy
place. We have sent out over 10000
copies of our convention prospectus.
with several thousand more yet to be
circulated. We have had literature in
abundance at every Epworth League
| district convention that has been and
will be held between May LIST and July
1st.' The transportation managers in
nearly every state have issued neat
and attractive convention folders with
views of Denver and Colorado, while
all Colorado railroads and the eastern
lines have also issued attractive
pamphlets. In addition to this. over
twenty Methodist papers that circu-
lated among millions of people have is
sued special convention editions with
views and write-ups of Colorado. The
amount of advertising the city and
state have received is incalculable.
A new committee has been added
to the general committee, that of state
clubs. c. NJ. Dearborn is chairman. The
'eople of the city are taking hold of
:ie state club proposition with en-
thusiasm. Pennsylvania leads the list
SO far with an immense membership
Illinois and Iowa state clubs will be or
ganized Tuesday evening at Trinity
church. and the rivalry between these
two states for the largest club is very
keen.
"One of the interesting contests at
the coming convention will be that be.
tween several cities to capture the
next Epworth League gathering, two
years hence. Minneapolis and Dallas
Texas, together with some of the cit
les on the Atlantic coast and Birming.

in the race. Birmingham has so far

aid has appointed the following named
persons as members of the State Indus.
trial School of Girls:
Fred l.. Paddelford of Golden.
Royal j. Donnen of Denver.
Mrs. X. E. England of Denver.
Two more members remain to be an.
pointed.
Mr.. Paddelford is superintendent of
the State Industrial School for Bows
at Golden. He will probably be made
president of the new board and will
have supervisory charge of the entire
institution.
Mr. Donnen lives at 1640 East
Eighteenth avenue. He has been a
resident of Denver for about six years.
and is retired business man. For
many years he lived in Leadville. and
is personal friend of Governor Nc
Donald. While in Leadville he was en-
gagged in mining, and was also in the
livery business.
Mrs. England has for number of
years been prominent in local politics
as Republican. She was formerly a
member of the board. 1t is understood
that she was placed upon the new
board upon the recommendation of Mr..
Paddelford.
The News quotes Governor McDon.
aid as saying that no member OF tho
old board would be reappointed. 1t
was reported that an exception would
be made of DIR. Josephine Peavy of
Colorado Springs. who was just recent
ly appointed to serve on the old board.
When queried on this point the gov

CARNEGIE LAKE
Steel Masnate's Donation to Princeton
University.

Reviewing the opening of spring
sports among the colleges, Golfers for
April 22d comments on the new lake
to be given to Princeton University by
Andrew Carnegie. Golfers says:
In college sport on this side of the
water, Princeton's new artificial lake
is the most interesting possibility. The
lake means. of course, that Princeton
will have a crew next year. and the ad-
dition of an entirely new quantity to
the races at Poughkeepsie or New Lon
don stirs up no end of enlivening fan
cies. The lake is the gift of Mr.. An
drew Carnegie, who, finding libraries
but slow means of carrying OFF his
income. is hoping to accelerate the
speed of its departure by turning 1t
into the more fluid form of water. The
Princeton undergraduates are not
bothered with the qualms felt by the
Boston ministers in contemplating the
gifts of Mr.. Rockefeller, nor do they,
apparently, share the anguish which
has tortured some sensitive souls that
the thrifty steel kings methods of pre-
pairing his penniless entry into heaven
should be extended then to the hal
lowed ground of an ancient university.
A lake is a lake, apparently, its gen.
esis will soon be forgotten, and in our
minds eye we see future generations
of sons of old Nassau sitting in the
moonlight. dissolved in sentiment. and
singing to banjo accompaniment
some such words as
Hail to thee. o fair Carnegie!
Hail. thou sunlit inland sea!
Alma Matters ancient waters;
Hail Carnegie! Hail to thee!"
When completed. the lake will have
set Mr.. Carnegie back about one hun,
dred and seventy-five thousand dollars.
