WORTH REMEMBERING

There arc three entirely different
kinds of ingledients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
nowders on the market, viz: % Min
eraI.Acld or Alum, 60 Bone-Acid or
p~hosphate and ca 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 in your baking
powder.
IN Mn0al-dcid. or Alum, is made
from 4 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 Csc. a pound.
(2) Bonc-lcid. 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
L. S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description. but the follow
ing extract Is enough:
Burned bones. after being ground,
arc put into freshly diluted oil Of
vitriol 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 30 cents a pound.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes n disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar utcrine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the ease of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, brooklyn, N. y, who was
completely cured by Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years | suffered with dyspepsia
which so dcgencrated my entire system that |
was unable to attend to my daily duties. |
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my
stomach, | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed TO help me. | was ad-
viscd to give Lydia Il, Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
10 lin1 that it acted like a fine tonic, and in {
fcwdays began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks ] was a well oma l have rec.
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement, or hassuch a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
h. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

~ and automatically, he admitted that
Persia was a link between Russia and
India, but declared that no Partially
had been or would be shown either
Russia or England.
When the persistent interviewer
probed about the comparative merits
Of Japan and Russia, some Roadway
was made at arriving at the real con
illusions of the ea%sterner. Hethinks that
Russia has been misrepresented, happen
ings there being grossly exaggerated
concerning Russia's readiness for O
constitution, he told a man from the
New York Times that it was very far
from ready, To quote Gen. Khan's
words: There is undoubtedly a great
and growing number of Russians who
find an aristocratic government irk'

minority that it will be so to 100 years

W hen asked if he had found Russian
influence beneficial where it had been
extended and tried IN Asia. he replied
that Russia and England had done
! much to spread the gospel OF progress
in Asia; asserted that wherever Rus
sian influences and methods had pene
trated the effect had been very good.
We have had a rather hazy impress
sion about the shah of Persia, thought
of him as given over to long days OF
rest and luxury on piles of luxurious
Persian rugs; but the new Persian
minister would have us change this
view. He brings word that his mas

When he landed in New York he
was much impressed with the sky
scrapers. and at once began making
comparisons between the city left be
hind, Teheran, and the great western
town. The underground system o.
transportation, the newspaper, came
in for his admiration-and also the
American girl. He thinks. or at least
he says, that this last feature of the
life of this country, is most interesting
and admirable, the poise of the Amer
can girl the result of American free
dom. In his Persian heart he mus
look upon her as a very revolutionary
creature indeed.
The wealth of the Persian minister
Is estimated at something like $40,
100000. He is possessor of jewels
worth a kings ransom, but, like {
well-bred gentleman, does not adver
tise his wealth by personal display
This envoy from the far east may weal
blazing orders on formal occasions

ence. but, as a rule, the beautiful
pearl in his scarf-pin is the only jewe
he sports.
