WORTH REMEMBERING

s. There are three entirely different
kinds OF ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders On the market. viz:-Q) Min
eralAcid 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 a pound, and baking
powder made with this MineralAcid
sells from 10 to Csc 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 a large manufac-
turer of a phosphate powder. The q.
S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
rlol 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.
60 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 of 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 a 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 Is 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.

Whether these events are different
manifestations of a general unrest in
the planets interior, whether they
fOreshadOW any greater seismic or
volcanic activity, or whether they are
simply condolences. few men of sci
elce are willing to assert. One of the
most remarkable declarations made in
connection with this worldwide dis
TNrbance has been made by a French
professor, who has predicted that
Early May will be marked by violent
volcanic eruptions in various parts of
the globe, particularly in the Antilles,
Central America. the Mediterranean
and Japan These eruptions, he as
Sarts. will be due to planetary dilation

predicted, upon the appearance of the
great eruption on the sun in February,
that earthquake shocks and volcanic
activity would follow.
Last December. E. Walter Maunder,
0: Greenwich Observatory, read a pa
ger before the British Astronomical
Association, in whieh he declared that

which the earth experiences during
sun spots period either followed the
appearance of the solar eruptions at
Intervals Of twenty-seven and one
third days, or at intervals of two or
,hree such periods. In other words,
{" attempted to show the phenomena
acted in accordance with the law he
described. The influence of sun spots
upon the earth has been recognized
among physicists and astronomers
generally; but there is a tendency on
the part of scientists to insist that
this influence is very slight.
It is at least interesting to note
that the Lahore earthquake and the
earthquake in Martinique occurred in
exactly two of Mr. Maunder's inter-
tervals Of twenty seven and one-third
days, after the sun spot maximum, or
in less than 6fty-six days. This, of
course, may be simply a coincidence;
it even may be that there was no con-
nection between the shifting of the
rocks in Hindoostan and the shaking
of an island directly opposite on the
other side Of the globe Yet there is
something fascinating in the theory,
especially since at least some of the
worlds savants subscribe to it.
The real weakness of most sun spot
theories appears to lie in the paucity
of data upon which they are built.
The careful scientist does not dispute
the theories; he says ''they may be so,
but you have not proved it, That is

GREAT CHANGE.
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 Buf-
falo writes:
"The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as nervous affection of the stom-
ach' I was actually so nervous that
I 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 l tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me- I was almost discouraged,
and when l tried Grape-Nuts did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad I am that l tried it.
I feel like 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 I am surprised at myself
The street noises that used to irritate
me so, I never notice now, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Greek, Mich.
There's 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. It fs
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 filing in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centers In the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is q

a Smart Retort.

How that prince of humorists, Mark
Twain, neatly scored off a well-known
American lawyer, who e~ndeavOred to
be witty at his expense, is related by
the writer of some recent recollections
of the author of The Innocents
Abroad"
1t was at a society dinner that Mark
Twain was called upon to make a
speech. which he did in his OWL iniln-
table manner. On seating himself the
lawyer arose and, thrusting his hands
into his trousers pockets. as was his
habit, laughingly inquired of those
present:
Doesn't it strike this company rs a
little unusual that a professional hu-
morist should be funny?"
When the laughter that greeted this
sally had subsidized, Mark Twain
draWled out:
Doesn't it strike this company as a
little unusual that a lawyer should
have his hands in his own pockets?'

Received from One Years Crop.
Extracts from an interesting letter
from P. H. Rynhard, of Starbuck,
Manitoba, Canada, gives an excellent
idea of the prosperity of those who
have gone from the United States to
Canada. He says:
Il bought, August, 1903, $50 acres
of land, paying $4,000 for it. We
threshed 1913 bushels of wheat and
between 1900 and 1900 bushels of
oats and barley from 200 acres But
part Of the wheat went down before
filing and was not harvested except
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time, $4,000. Besides 100
acres laying idle except a timothy
meadow. which is not included in this
estimate. Counting the value Of the
product and the increase CT value of
land will pay me than rs per
cent OF the investment. Two broth
ers in the same neighborhood bought
go acres each six years ago. They
have not done a single thing to this
land except to fence it and break and
cultivate about one-half Of it. Har-
vested last year 20 bushels wheat per
acre. This year q bushels per acre.
They can get any day $25 per acre.
These are only a few of many hun
dreds of such chances. 1t looks like
boasting, but truth is justifable and
the world ought to know it, especial
ly the home-seeker. l know of quite
a few farmers that have made for
