CHRISTMAS AT MERIDIAN.
Hundreds Are Made Glad by Distribu'

Meridian. Miss, December 24-(Special) Yesterday afternoon the spacious quarters of the Meridian lodge of EllSs were crowd ed with the poor children of the city who had been provided with tickets en- fitting them to the free distribution of Christmas gifts. Over 1000 tickets had been distributed and something like 5o0 baskets. well filled, were given out by Santa Claus.
 Allan G. McCants played the part or Santa Claus, arriving in an automobile at 2 o'clock, and for three hours kept the little childen enthused and happy. In every basket had been placed six oranges, six bananas, a large bag of mixed nuts, large bag of rasns and grapes, from two to four toys and small box of dates. In addition each girl was provided with a doll and each boy a horn.
 While Santa Claus McCants was making the hearts of the little tots glad with his distribution, the other members of the 11lks entertained hundreds of their maintained during the evening Light re- Treatments were served in the parlors and soft drinks in the anteroom.

POLITICS IN TUSCALOOSA.
Fitts and Foster Having Lively Tilt in
 the West Alabama Breeze.

Tuscaloosa December A.-(Special)- Quite an amount of interest is developing in the race for the legislature from this county Henry Fitts an announced can dldate, has appeared in the West Alabama Breeze, paper published in Northport across the river, in two or three articles, attacking what he has called the ring rule of this county. He has also attacked the board of public works, the act creating the same having been passedsat the insti- gation of MT. Manly Foster while member of the legislature. Indirectly, MT Fitts attacked the record of MT. Eos ter. and the latter has replied in two articles to MT. Fitts, and the controver- sies have made the Breeze quite popu- lar sheet in the county. Mir. t1tts plat form is against railroaos and against the board of public works and the men he calls the bosses of the county. No one as yet has announced on an opposing plat form, but the crowd against which MT. Fitts has arraigned himself will doubt less put a candidate in the field at an early date The congressional race here has been quiet for sometime, neither Captain Bankhead or Captain Hobson having been on the ground for several weeks.
 Some interesting talk has also been lh- dulged in, not altogether commendatory to the board of mayor and aldermen Of the city on account of their recent acton in raising the salary of the dispenser or the Tuscaloosa dispensary at a recent meeting. The salary was $1500 per annum and the board increased this to s3oo. Ihe revenue from the dispensary has been considerable help to the city Tn meeting a number of long felt needs In the way or improvements, and the people, or at least some who have appeared in articles in the town paper, think that the raising Of the dispenser's salary was something that could have very easily waited on certain other needs that could have been accom- plshed with the money that has beeen so disposed of The people Of Northport have also voted on having dispensary and have decided in it's favor. This es- tablishment will have a tendency to de- crease the income from the Tuscaloosa dispensary; however, tho Iatter will hard ly go out of business on account Of the competition.

WORTH KNOWING.

{ The average consumer of baking
powder does not know that a reaction
occurs in the process of baking. Food
prepared with a cream Of tartar bak-
ing powder does not contain any
cream of tartar. A loaf of bread made
from a quart of -four %leavened with
cream of tartar baking powder contains
forty-fve grains more of Rochelle
Salts than is contained in one Seidlitz
powder. Some eminent Boston physi-
clans testified against the healthful-
ness of Rochelle Salts.
Therefore, why should the consumer
pay forty-five or fifty cents per pound
for the cream of tartar or Trust bak-
ing powders when the best baking
powder in the world can be made to
retail at twenty-five cents per pound
(the price asked for Calumet Baking
Powder) and leave a fair manufactur-
er's profit?
The manufacturers of Calumet Bak-
ing Powder have for years made a
standing offer Of One Thousand Dol.
lars for any substance injurious to
health found in food prepared from it.
Bread made from Calumet Baking
Powder is entirely free from Rochelle
Salts, alum, lime or ammonia.
