There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz.:-O Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) BOne-Acid or
Phosphate, and S) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used III your baking
powder.
1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from 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-Acid
sells from 10 to 25c pound.
(2) 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 off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boiled
with water. and crystals of Cream of
Tartar, white and very pure, separate
and are collected. 1t differs in no re-
spect from the form In which it orig
inally existed in the grape. Cream OF
Tartar, then, while the most expensive,
is tie only ingredient that should be
used in baking powder to act upon
the soda, as its wholesomeness is be-
yond question. Cream of Tartar bak-
ing powders sell at about 40 to 50
cents 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 % cents q
pound are made of MineralAc
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 80
cents Of Cream of Tartar made from

years of domestic unhappiness. in which

For two months bot" Pulford has
shown signs of the terrible mental strain
under which he labored. a correspondent
asserts. When Daniel S. Berry was
killed in Pulford's opera house and the

that Pulford's mind was giving way. ''He
is not mentally sound" said Chief of
Police C. c. Parker. Il am afraid he

came true.

Boy, Aged II, Pulls Boat Seventeen
Miles to Secure Help.
George Bohn, aged IA, of st. Paul,
rowed a seventeen-mile race with death
on the Minnesota river. Temporary vic
tory is his, and if Matthew C. Taylor
lives he will owe his life to the boy.
Alone with his companion, who was
bleeding to death from a severed artery
in the leg. Bohn bound a willow twig
about the limb, partly stopping the flow
of blood, placed his unconscious COM
panion in I boat, and rowed three hours
on dark night down the river to Fort
Smelling. Arriving early in the morn
ing, almost exhausted, young Bohn tied
his boat to the bank and staggered up
the bluff to the post hospital, where he
secured two physicians to attend Taylor.
The latter was taken to the fort hos
pital, where the artery was tied up. He
is in a precarious condition, physicians
fearing he cannot survive the loss of
blood. Young Bohn and Taylor went up
the Minnesota river on fishing and
hunting trip. They stopped seventeen
miles from Fort Smelling to pitch their
tent for the night. While whiting a
tent stake Taylor cut himself with his
hunting knife. The blood flowed so fast
that he soon became unconscious.

Terrible Temptation.

An eminent English surgeon, whose
brusqueness with grown-ups recalls
that of the famous Abernethy, is quite
another person when children are his
patients. Then he is as amiable as an
angel of big st. Bernard dog.
A short time ago, according to st.
James Budget, this gentle giant got up
out of warm bed at o'clock in the
morning to attend a tiny boy in piteous
plight from dlphtheria. He performed
the operation of tracheotOmy and
saved the child's life.
Time went on and his general condi-
ton improved, but there was one dis
quieting symptom. He refused to use
his voice. When he was questioned
he NODDED or shook his head, but would
not speak. Finally the surgeon found
a way. One morning he talked at his
stubborn little patient.
I'm sorry he can't speak to me,
nurse" the surgeon said, because I'm
going up to London tomorrow, and
sha'n't know whether to bring him a
horse ur gun"
There was a brief silence. The sur
geon and nurse waited breathlessly.
Then tiny finger stole up to wound
ed throat, and the ghost Of a baby

lew wallace's Unwritten Book


The great American novel, according
to the late Lew Wallace, was "Mur-
vale Eastman" by Tourgee-a book
of fifteen years ago. 1t has a subtitle.
Christian Socialist" and is a story
thar few people have read, as it was
issued by a small publishing house.
Gen. Wallace thought this title detract-
ed from its interest, as people might
imagine it life of socialist leader, or
a treatise on socialism.
Gen. Wallace himself had in mind
an American novel. He once said that
it was his intention to write this story
after he had: completed his memoirs.
His theme was the striving of Amerf
cans to accomplish wonderful things
in an incredibly short time. His hero
was to be a restless American who
lived for few years in Europe, then
in Australia, in Africa, and in South
America, and who, finally, after years
of wandering, returns to his own coun-
try only to start again upon his jour-
ney, never satisfied, never happy. the
spirit of an Indian within him, and the
childlike desire to see new scenes. In
each of these countries his hero was
to accomplish worthy deeds, and when
he returns to his own country it is with
the intention Of leading the life Of a
son of the soil, but his hero finds he
cannot do so. The story would have
been suggestive of 1.-The Wandering
Jew" with the element of religious
controversy eliminated.-Success Mag

the last car for the city was approaching
when the brakes failed to act. Gathering
momentum at every foot, this car crashed
into the one standing at the bottom of the

the fatalities would doubtless have been
more numerous but for the fact that the
cars were of the open pattern used in sum-
mer. 1t is feared that ten death may result.

TWO CHECKS FOR IMMIGRATION.

Administration Will Urge Increase of
Head Tax or Numerical Restriction.
Two methods of restricting immigra-
ton will be recommended to Congress,
and both will be indorsed as practicable.
The administration will urge that the
laws be amended either by increasing the
head tax to a prohibitive amount, or by
restricting the number to be admitted
each month. The officials who have given
the matter closest attention believe that
head tax of S25, instead of the present
tax of 81, would keep out most of the
undesirable foreigners.
