RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.
Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. l have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor Of
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While it
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while it is
done in some countries, am opposed
10 it. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of its
property is not good for anything I'M
less it can charge a rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when
rate was fixed, if that rate was an I'M
reasonable rate, it deprives the rail-

tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company Of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
/ have looked at these cases
a great many times, and l can only
come to the conclusion that rail-
road company is entitled to charge
fair and reasonable rate. and il any
order of commission. il any statute
of a state legislature takes away that
rate. the fourteenth amendment pro
tects the railway company"

mains the Same.
You cannot experiment every time
you make a cake or biscuits, or test
find out how much of it you should
use; yet with most baking powders
you should do this, for they are put
together so carelessly they are never
uniform, the quality and strength
varying with each can purchased.
Therefore, at one time baking pow
der will produce less leavening gas
than at another.
If you base your calculations on the
strength and results of a previous can,
you may use too much or not enough
Of the new; your cake or biscuits will
not raise; they will remain heavy and
your materials in time will be lost;
or else you will have a harshly acid
or strongly alkaline cake or biscuits.
Avoid the cheap and big Can" baK-
ing powders. Cheap baking powders
leave bread sometimes bleached and
acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline
and always unpalatable, they are new
er of uniform strength and quality.
Calumet Baking Powder is made of
chemically pure ingredients of tested
strength. Experienced chemists put
1t up. The proportions of the differ
ent materials remain always the same.
Sealed in air tight cans, Calumet Bak-
ing Powder does not alter in strength
and is not affected by atmospheric
changes. Yet it is only one-half the
price of the Trust baking powders.
In using Calumet you are bound to
have uniform cake or biscuits. Calu-
met contains no useless or adulterat-
ing ingredients. Food prepared from
it is free from Rochelle Salts, Alum,
Lime, Ammonia, and the cost is mod
crate.

Changed Its Mind.

AS mamma was preparing her boy
for breakfast she said: How many
cakes can Eugene eat for his break
fast this morning?"
Il can eat four, Mamma"
Seated at the table, his appetite
seemed to have materially diminished,
for he ate only one of the cakes.
Mamma thought you were going to
eat four cakes this morning. What is
the matter?"
WELL" said the fve-year-old, my
stomach changed its mind"
1t occurs to us that the wise mans
stomach often changes its mind" as
in this case, but too often that much
abused organ is so pressed upon as to
be convinced against its will, though
of the same opinion still, and. yield
ing to the demands of an abnormal
appetite, finds itself wishing the real
man had been master over the lust Of
the flesh.

The CLEAN of hope proves the guild
ing light to all.

Every houseKeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures &c ozs." Demand De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

Rejected Candidates,

It is reported that at a recent ex-
animation of candidates for admission
to the Naval academy at Annapolis
only eleven out of twenty-five. were
found sufficiently sound physically to
be admitted. The whole twenty-five
passed the mental examination, but
fourteen of them were unable to pre-
sent the necessary physical require
mnts. This fact is fair index of the
rate at which the physical decadence
of the American people is progress
ing. Insanity, idiocy and epilepsy are
all increasing at very rapid rate
three hundred per cent within the past
fifty years.

GAS AND WATER
Is ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER7
Citizens of Large Cities say !. is.

New York, June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon supply of good
water
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern Improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to. as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent of city
gas at IS cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaied by the suns
rays. If water and solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
it. If it is desired to make it for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

Little Willie, the attractive child Of

kindly disposed patron of his mother
He had the feast of his life, ordering
almost everything on the bill of fare

that he wanted more. Reason did
not appeal to Willie, and after sew
eral peremptory "Whys?" from him,
his hostess gave an excuse which she
thought he could understand.

A Centennial Celebration.

The people of Fayette, Ohio, recent
ly showed their appreciation of the
favor conferred on them in having in
their community a fine old lady who
has rounded out the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration. In charge of their
teachers, they marched to. the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, in which many
prominent people of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out.
One pleasing feature was the pres
entation by the children of quantity
of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves
The interest shown in the occasion
by the people of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence of the high
esteem in which this remarkable old
lady is held. Every faculty of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown eyes still retain their attract
i've sparkle. She is an accomplished
needlewoman, and still spends much
time in preparing dainty gifts for her
friends. Mr.. Dubois, to whom Mrs.
Dubois was married sixty-one years
ago, is no less remarkable than his
wife. The unusually healthy and ac-
tive old age of this fine couple is a
testimony to the value of their simple,
natural, peaceful life of activity. Com
menting upon this, the Fayette Review
says:
