WORTH REMEM6ERINC.

There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making 1 the three different varieties of baking l powders on the market, viz: (l) Min 1 eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (5) Cream of Tartar made from grapes. It is important, from the standpoint of health, to know something about these ingredients, and which kind is used in your baking powder.
 0) MiRcral-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 Mineral-Aeid sells from 10 to 25c. a pound.
 CD BOne-Acid, or Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a large manu- facturer of a phosphate powder. The [. 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
 yitriol and with continual stirring
 and in the following proportion"
 etc.
 From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak- ,ng powders are made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound
 t3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes. and flows with the juice from he press in the manufacture of wine. After the wine is drawn off the tartar Is scraped from the cask boiled with water and crystals of Cream of Tar tar, white and very pure, separate and are collected. It differs in no respect from the form In which it originally existed in the grape. Cream of Tar tar, then, while the most expensive, is the only ingredient that should be used in a baking powder to act upon the soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond question. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound.
 Sa2h 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 20 to 30 cents of Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 50 cents Of Cream of Tartar made from grapes.

THE SIOO,OOO MAN
SOMETHING OF CAREER OF HoR-
 ACE GREELEY BURT.
The Man Selected as Chief of Opera tions on the Panama Canal-Ques- tion Whether Organized La
 bor Will Approve.

Horace Greeley Burt. regarded by la boring circles as the hardest man in the railroad business to turn from his aims, and known throughout the coun- try as the presidents $100,000 man. is at the present time right in line for the position of chief of operations on the Panama canal. Burt derives his queer title from the fact that Presi- dent Roosevelt, in his search for a man who possesses the qualifications necessary for the head of such an en- terprise, has offered the enormous sum of $100000 per year as the salary con- nected with the office.
 The announcement that Horace G. Burt is to be the man to occupy the coveted position comes as rather surprising incident in the series of surprises which have marked the de velopments in relation to the canal work. With the knowledge that he was facing an extremely difficult task the president set out to find man, who being a Napoleon of affairs, pos sesSed the characteristics of resource fitness, energy, usefulness and ability
 
 of a great engineer as well as master. The president wanted man who could do things, dc them right and do them quickly. His search caused the names of Elihu Root. one-time seere- tary of war; William H. Taft, now in that position; Henry Prick, famed captain of industry. and John B. Me Donald, builder of the New York sub way, to be suggested. In this quar- tette it seemed that there must be a man of sufficient mastership to under take such an enterprise. but with his remarkable foresight, the executive looked farther and finally decided upon the one-time railroad magnate and industrial engineer, for the office which involves as salary just twice

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is kind of dyspepsia that is caused by Arrangement of the female organism, and which. while it causes a disturb ance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without medicine which not only acts as stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also.
 As proof of this theory we call at tention to the case of Mrs Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. ", who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound after every thing else had failed. She writes:
 ' For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degcneratel my entire system that WAS unable to attend to my daily duties felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate tasted good and 1t calscd q disturbance in my stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures but nothing seemed to help me. l was ad- vised to give Lydia E. Piullham's Vegetable Compound trial, and was happily surprised to fir that it acted like a fine tonic and in a few days began to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, and in five weeks l was a well woman. l have rec om4nended it to many suffering women.n
 No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unquali- fled endorsenent,or hassueh record of cures of female troubles. as has Lydia t. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound.

 All sufferers from weakness or disor- ders of the digestive organs will read with lively interest the story of the com plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux from chronic dyspepsia which was thought to be incurable.
 " To be ailing for nine years is not very pleasant experience, said Mrs. Darvoux, when asked for some account of her illness. " For two years 1 was critically i'll and could not attend to my household duties, and at one time was so weak and miserable that I could not even walk. My trouble was chronic dys- pepsia. I became extremely thin and had sallow complexion. l had no ap- petite and could not take any food with out suffering great distress.
 Did you have physician?"
 ' Yes, I took medicine from a dozen different doctors, but without getting any benefit whatever.
 How did you get on the track of a cure?"
 A book about Dr. Williams Pink Pills was thrown i'll our doorway one day My husband picked it up and read it through carefully. He was so impressed by the statements of those who had been cured by that remedy that he imme- diately bought three boxes of the pills and insisted on my taking them.
 Did they help you at once?"
 "I began to feel better the second day after started to use the pills and by the tune had taken the three boxes I was entirely well. Dr. Williams Pink Pills can cure even when doctors fail, and they cure thoroughly, for long time has passed since my restoration to health and know it is complete and lasting"
 The surest way to make sound diges- tion is to give strength to the organs con- cerned. Dr. Williams Pink Pills give new vigor to the blood. No other rem edy yields such radical results.
 Mrs. Darvoux lives at No. 497 Sixth street, Detroit, Mich. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists i'll every part of the world. Dyspeptics should send to the Dr. Williams Med- icine Company, Schenectady. N Y, for new booklet entitled What to Eas and How to Eat !"

that which the chief executive himself Is at liberty to draw
 At the time of the decision Burt was at liberty. having resigned his office of president of the Union Pacific. His connection with that railroad has many interesting incidents which strikingly appear in the background.
 He entered the service of the road at a salary of s15.000 per annum in 1897. and almost eoineident with his ap pearance in this capacity came great changes in the management of the system For year or more he swung his official "aX9 right and left cutting the expenses here and there and i'm proving the organization in weak spots The effect of his strenuous dealing with the railroad may be seen in the fact that when he accepted the presidency the stock was selling ot 2634. and when the demand of the la boring heads compelled him to re- sign in 1904. just seven years later, the price had scared to 9l.
 Burt's resignation came as the cul- imitation of the long strike on the part of mechanics of the system. When the union men found themselves in a position to dictate terms, one of the requirements was that the president resign. The two courses were to fe- sign or break up the company, and he accepted the former.
 However, it cannot be said that Mir Burt suffered any pecuniary disadyaa- tages because of his resignation from the presidency of the Union Pacific for he was immediately offered a con- mission at the hands of E. H. Harri- man. who selected the deposed mag nate at the handsome salary of s30,e0Q per annum to visit China and Japan for the purpose of Investigating the possibilities of establishing railroad system in those countries. When OF this mission the vessel upon which he voyaged was captured, but soon after released
 In the endeavor to gam an insight into the character of this pioneer rail road man, newspaper men and maga- zine writers have impressed the pub- lie with the idea that Horace Burt is a erusty railroad magnate with noth- ing but the greed for gain investing his system. But such is not the case
 The social side of his life differs a. far as does the life of Dr. Jekyu from that of Mir. Hyde. In the social world he is looked upon as charitable. quiet and possessing secret generosity Many churches, which have been pre- sented with secret donations. it is be. lieved might point to the "$100 ,00C man" as their benefaetor.
 When the news ves made public that Mir. Burt was the probable occH. pant of the highest salaried position on the canal. there were many whC wondered how the labor leaders would accept the appointment Those who have bitterly waged the labor wal with him in the conflict between tht Union Pacific and the International Association of Machinists. il is thought will not welcome the selec. ton of their former opponent The fight has brought Burt to the attention of all organized labor. and the thought that trouble will be brewing when tht presidents selection goes to tnt isthmus to demonstrate his ability may not be without foundation.
