IS to discover just the right sort Of

The Best Example of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should Be in Quail
ity and Price
A popular and efficient baking powder re-
quires two things-first. that the food made
second, that it shall be sold at reasonable
price.
In talking about the healthfulness of
baking powder. it must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article of diet
any more than compressed yeast. One
would be quite as objectionable for food
the other, except that of the two, the bak-
ing powder might be preferable.
We do not eat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them. When placed upon
the table no yeast remains in the bread and
no baking powder in the biscuit. Both
1eavening agents have been destroyed in
the aeration and the baking; otherwise. in
stead of light bread and biscuit we should
have mass of heavy, hard baked dough.
One well-known brand, G Baking
Powder. is sold under a $500. 900 guarantee
of its healthfulness and purity. There can
be no doubt that a. baking powder so guar
anteed is absolutely wholesome and perfect
ly reliable. Even if it did remain in tho
food it could do nothing but good.
With regard to price, a baking powder as
efficient and wholesome as is possible to
make can be sold, at a fair profit, for one
cent an ounce. If it costs more the price is
exhorbitant.
Millions of pounds of K C Baking Powder,
made by the Jacques Manufacturing Com
pany of Chicago, have been sold at the
above figure all over the country; and L c.

ridge carrier because of his prodigious
proportions and his unf1agging energy.
The mule was with the pack train
to the right and rear of the squadron,
which was lying along the edge of a
wood with its face toward the enemy.
A Sioux warrior who was no sharp
shooter sent bullet which might
have been aimed at the MONDAY sun.
Probably before it came to earth it
tore fragment out of cloud,
but on its way to the ground it
creased the mountaineering
mule, which instantly broke loose
and, maddened by pain and fright,
went tearing through the wood, knock
ing down trooper who attempted to
stay its course, and then made
straight for the outlying masses of
the enemy.
When the flying mule had reached
a point about hundred yards dis
tant from where the feathered heads of
the reds were showing. it stopped
short and forgetting it's pain began
to Craze on the bunch grass.
On the back of that mule was the
ammunition upon which depended the

reach the animal, any man brave
enough to make the attempt must

Ran GantIet of Death.
The officers consulted and a des-
perate plan for the recapture of the
mule was under discussion. Sudden
ly one of the enlisted men called at
tention to a movement in the grass
| far over to the right. In moment
| the head of white man was seen.
I 1t was a trooper who was crawling
| slowly toward the stampeded animal.
Word was passed swiftly down the
| line and vo1ley after volley was di-
| rected at the Sioux to keep their at
| tention away from the mule and from
| the soldier who was making his way
| toward it. The trooper crawled on
| and on. He was close to the saw

He reached a point within twenty-five
yards of the grazing animal, then
| suddenly he stood up; bolted forward
and vaulted on to the mules back.

knotty Question for Commission.

Knotty Question for Commission.
A curious commission has been sit
ting at the French ministry of war.
1t is to decide what kind of bed is to
be provided for the soldiers of the
French army. So far, the soldiers
bed has been a mattress laid upon
boards or else canvas stretched on
boards like a particularly hard ham
mock. The fatherIy NJ Berteaux, war
minister, whose policy is to kill anti
militarism by kindness, proposes to
give the soldier spring under his
mattress But what kind of spring!
And when that spring is chosen, what
kind of mattress will be best to GO
on the top of it? These be complicated
questions, and commission whose
work is being carefully recorded was
the least important body that could
hope to answer them. 1t is toiling
faithfully.
