WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely differel
kinds of ingredients used in makiL
the three different varieties of bakin
powders on the market, viz: Cd Mil
eral-Acid or Alum, CD Bone-Acid c
Phosphate, and co Cream of Tarta
made from grapes. 1t is importan;
from the standpoint of health, to NOV
something about these ingredients, IN
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
% Nineru7-Acid, or Alum, is mad.
from a kind Of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil Of vitriol and from his
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.
CD B0nc-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
U. 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 his Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
CD 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 Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t 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 SO cents a
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 a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream Of Tartar made from
grapes.

Prof. Jacques Loeb, of the Univer-
sity of California, has made a new dis
covery in his experiments in produc-
ing life artiicially in sea urchins
which is of the greatest Importance
to students of %heredity. In fertilizing
the eggs of sea urchins he discovered
that in natural fertilization the eggs
developed a peculiar membrane which
he could secure by means of chem
icals. Finally he found that by use Of
common vinegar and salt he could
produce a membrane, and that the
eggs foated on the surface of the
water exactly as they do in nature.

The United States far surpasses ev-
cry other country in the production Of
copper and consequently is less vital
ly interested in the discovery Of new
foreign sources Of supply than are
some Of the European nations. They
have about doubled their consump-
ton since the great development of
the electrical industries began, and
have been a little anxious because,
meanwhile, the worlds total produc-
ton has increased only a little ove
one-third. At last accounts, Russia
was doing her best to develop her cop

The Uncle Sam pipe line will pay for
itself in eighteen months in the saving of
freights 1t will have for over sixty miles
oil on every side. 1t will go through an
oil field in Woodson county that has never
had a pipe line. The refinery site at Kan
sas City is close to the manufacturing
center. Kansas City has a fuel consump-
ton daily equaling close to $1,000 barrels
a day. Now, don't you see 1t is practical
to build this pipe line? Don't you see that
with the oil we own to start with and
the thousands of barrels which can be Sc
cured at a reasonable price, all trans
ported through this line at a good profit,
we will soon pay for the line In the saving
of freight alone? Size up this proposition

one of real merit. 1t is not impossible for
the stock now selling at $50 per 1000
shares to go to 81 per share or par. II
