WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market, viz:-(D 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.
~ 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 25c. pound.
e, Bone-Acid, 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 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 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 1t
originally existed in the grape. Cream
OF Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, Is the only ingredient that
should be used ina baking powder TO
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 10 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 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids:
those selling from 90 to 80 cents OF
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

The EpWoRTH LEAGUE
CONVENTION At DENVER IN JULY
Small Army at Work Making Prepare.
tions-Large 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 1t 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 1st and July
list. 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. Deardorff is chairman. The
'eople of the city are taking hold OF
the 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 al
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
ham. Alabama, are the principal cities
in the race. Birmingham has so far
made the most systematic and effect

VIOLENT STORM
Does Damage in Different Parts Of
Colorado.

Denver. May 23.-At least two per-
sons Were killed in the heavy storm
which prevailed in many parts OF Col
orado yesterday. The electrical dis
turbances were the most severe of any
this year. The rain fell in binding tor
rents, and was accompanied by high
wind. Hailstones were larger than
usual. Owing TO the damage TO wires
reports are incomplete. The damage
was heaviest at Greeley.
Two deaths are reported:
Fort Collins: Mrs. John Bee, aged
fifty-eight, struck by lightning.
Longmont: Unknown Mexican, en-
ployed by Richard Clark, struck by
lightning.
A terrific rain and electric storm,
accompanied at times by hail, swept
Greeley, Eaton, Windsor and vicinitq
last night From O'Clock until 10
O'Clock rain fell in torrents. The light.
ming was the most vivid seen In years
and played havoc with telephone aud
telegraph wires. Several large trees
here were struck and some damage
was done 10 dwellings.
II is feared that many cattle on the
range were killed by lightning. Water
from the gullios west and south of
town poured into No. 8 ditch with the
result that Il broke through its banks
and flooded streets and cellars In the
western edge Of town.
There was heavy rain at and above
Colorado Springs and Manilou and a
food in Monument creek did some
damage.
Mrs. John Bee. living twelve miles
north Of Fort Collins. was struck by
lightning yesterday while working in
her garden and instantly killed.

Ocean Yacht Race Gossip.

New York. May 2l.-Paul Eve Ste
venson. the noted yachting writer.
says:
AN attempt to estimate with even
approximate accuracy the chances OF
any given boat In the kaisor's cup race,
which started on Tuesday at the Sandy
Hook Lightship. would be almost as
futile as a weather forecast six months
ahead. SO great variety OF condi'
,ions will be encountered In the 5000
miles that the eleven yachts started
upon an almost equal basis, though
naturally the most highly developed
boat from the naval architects view
point would be the fayorite In calou'
lating the odds and chances.
"Still. II IL entirely conceivable that
the schooner Hamburg. n Watson de
