SMUGGLING BY AUTOMOBILE.

Automobiles are being used to snug
gle goods across the frontiers of Eu-
rope. The trick is becoming more
common as the popularity of the mo-
tor cars increases on the continent.
The adaptablity of the motor car to
the purposes Of the land smuggler has
tempted many to run gauntlet" with
all kinds Of dutiable goods, and now
that few cases have come to light
the customs officials are devoting I'M
usual attention to those folks who
their cars under cover Of darkness.
On the French frontier recently sus-
picions were aroused by the frequent
night excursions over the Berlin side
by particular motor car. An am
buscade was laid, and as a challenge
only resulted in the speed Of the car
being increased obstacles were placed
in its way. The occupants of the car
decamped. and when the vehicle was
searched $275 worth of Moravian to-
bacco was seized. Both the car and
its contents were confiscated.-Bro

TO GET STREET CARS ANYWAY.
One Syndicate Abandons Project, but
Another Seeks Franchise.

At meeting Of the Sioux Falls city
council it was announced that syndi-
cate of Des Moines capitalists who on
Sept. Of last year were granted
franchise for constructing and oper-
ating an electric street railway sys-
TEN in Sioux Falls, had declined to
furnish required bond in the sum
of $4,000. C. M. Harrison, for some
time a resident Of Sioux Falls, but
who now lives at Redfeld. was in the
city several days in the interest of
Chicago capitalists who desire to cs-
tablish an electric street railway sys-
tenn in Sioux Falls. He remained in
the city until it was definitely deter
mined that the franchise granted the
iowa men would be annulled, when he
at once departed for Chicago to Sc
cure a definite proposition from the
Chicago men.

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, CD Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and CD 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.
| ID Mineral-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 Csc. a pound

basis Of phosphate baking powders

VINE. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boil

no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
OF Tartar, then, while the most expen-
slve, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome

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 Buff
falo writes:
"The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection Oft the stom-
ach' l 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. I doctored all the time
with remedies. out 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. | was almost discouraged,
and when I tried Grape Nuts did so
with many misgiyings-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 am that / tried it,

ed in weight and | don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. | feel so strong

mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure

There's reason
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had rot
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. It 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 watertfe
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling IN the thou-
sands Of delicate nerve centers ii the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food Is !

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.

DECORATION OF !1CtnCS.
The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls. and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better ef-
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be

to cove- the wall-the thing desired Is
that which has the greatest covering

beauty of color Alabastine, a wall

which means hard white rocks
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs

frescoed designs in the large cathe-

nency and an art Of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach Of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent In it's
coloring. 1t does not rub off, and it
has the soft effect Of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort Of it. With Alabas-
| tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
| needed is to lay a sheet or canvas on
the floor have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and Simply
