PAVING PLANT COSTS LESS
Makes Repairs for Smaller Net sum
Than Has Been Done
Before.

The city paving employees completed their
work on Thirteenth street Monday noon
and have begun on the repair Of Douglas
street, demonstrating that the city asphalt
plant is doing all that its champions ex-
pected of IT, City Engineer Rosewater is
perfectly satisfied with the showing thus
made and Monday noon he had figured that
the cost Of a yard Of asphalt laid down,
after paying all salaries and the mainten-
ence of the plant would be about S cents,
against an average OF 81. 20 heretofore paid
to contractors. Besides he said the mix
ture was much better. The firms which
have contracts for repairs on the streets
will be ready to begin in about ten days
and they are expected 10 rush matters.
The total cost OF repair work done by con-
tractors will amount to about SOS. 900. max
ing this the banner year for street i'm

Warning to Housewives.

The average consumer of baking
powder does not know that a reaction
occurs in the process of baking. When
ever a chemical reaction takes place,
the nature of the original materials is
entirely changed, so that the sub
stances 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 con-
tains alum or cream of tartar is worth
less SO far as informing the consumer
as to what he eats. What the con-
sumner wants to know is what goes
into his stomach, not what is in the
can. Food prepared with a cream of
tartar baking powder does not contain
any cream of tartar, just as food pre-
pared with alum baking powder is
free frcm alum. In the case of the
high-3riced trust baking powders, this
bread residue consists of Rochelle
Salts, tho active ingredient of Seidlitz
Powders. That is, when food pre-
pared with these trust baking pow
ders is eaten, the consumer is taking
a dose of Seidlitz Powders. Rochelle
Salts is a medicine and not a food,
and this constant dosing will seriously
derange tue digestive organs Prof.
Wiley. chemist of the United States
Department OF Agriculture, has de-
clared in substance that "A loaf Of
bread made from a quart of flour
leavencd with cream of tartar baking
powder contains 45 grains more of
Rochelle Salts than is contained in
one Seidlitz Powder. At a hearing
before tho Comrittee on Public
Health of the Massachusetts LegisIa-
tutc, On a bill designed to prevent this
wholesale dosing of the public, the fol-
lowing eminent Boston physicians tes-
titled against the healthfulness of
Rochelle Salts, and strongly recon-
mcnded the passage OF a law which
would prohibit the sale of powders
which left this dangerous drug in
food: DR. Hartung, DIR. C. o. Kepler.
DR.. F. B. Foster, DIR. G. M. Palmer
Why should the consumer pay forty
five or fifty cents per pound for bak-
ing powder when the best baking pow
der in the weld can be made to re-
tail at twenty-five cents per pound
(the price asked for Calumet Baking
Powder) and leave a fair manufac-
turer's profit? The manufacturers of
Calumet Baking Powder have for
years made a standing offer OF
81 100000 for any substance injurious
to health found in food prepared from
It. Bread made from Calumet is en-
tirely free from Rochelle Salts, a1ums
lime or ammonia.

The radium clock of the Hon. ]. r.

most efficient machine in existence,
and the twelfth of a grain or radium
that supplies the energy is estimated
to be sufficient for a. run of 10000
years. The small glass containing
tube, having two aluminium leaves at
tached to its lower end, is supported
in an exhausted glass vessel. The
positive enlarge, left behind after the
beta" rays are carried away, is
passed on to the leaves, which separ-
ate until one of them touches the in
closing glass, when the charge is con-
veyed to the earth and the leaf falls
back again. This operation, repeated
minute after minute, will continue so
long as the machine lasts. By means
of coherer, such as is used in wire
less telegraphy, the action can be
made audible, and an electric bell
