Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market, viz.:-Q Min
cral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) 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.
l) Mineral 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-Aciu
sells from 10 to 25c u pound.
~ Bone-Aci1, or Phosphate. is the
basis OF phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufar-
turer Of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Once Report gives a full
and exact description, bat 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 a 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 cnsk. boiled
with water. and crystals Of Cream OF
Tartar. white and very pure. separat e
and are collected. 1t differs IN no re-
spec: from the form in which it orig
inally existed in the grape. Cream OF
Tartar. then. while the most expensive,
is the only ingredient that shOdld be
used in Il baking powder to act upon
the soda. as it's wholrSomeness is be-
yond question. Cream Of Tartar bnk-
Ing powders sell at about 40 to 80
cents a pound.
Such are the facts. and every one.
careful OF the health OF the family.
should remember this rule:-Rakirs
powders selling from 10 to p cents n

liuht Reeves in Demand

Drovers' Journal: The usual spring and
summer demand for yearling and handy
weight steers is putting in an appearance
and the big heavy classes are meeting
relatively poor sale. Warm weather. is
beginning to have the effect of curbing the
public call for heavy roasts and steaks.
Less meat is generally being consumed,
and with the falling off in demand has
come a more Urgent call for lighter cuts
of beef, and consequently the pulse Of
trade In high weight fat steers Is faster
and sellers are enabled to obtain relatively
better prices than are paid for the weighty
classes.
In the past week this change In condi-
tons has been quite marked, and lille
lower prices nave been forced on all
classes Of steers the handy weight grades
have suffered the least decline, and such
sold readily as against the dullness in
transactions Of the big cattle. There has
also been an increase in the offerings of
light weights and yearling steers. A quite
liberal supply of yearlings has been here
thus far tlus week and traders say the
proportion Of these classes will grow rath-
er than decrease from now on,
Most Of the long-fed heavy steers have
beer marketed. They were fed for winter
and spring markets and the cattle which
most feeders la handled with a view to
selling in the summer months have gem
orally been of the younger class. Expert
ences Of the past have taught them to fit,
cattle for the public demand and NOT to
suit themselves. Tho public is the Judge
of beef, and IT'S demands are already being
switched from the heavy to the lighter
weights. and promise to continue in favor
of the handy weights during the summer
season.
Feeders who have been holding big 1,4OO
to 1000 pound steers may soon come to
know that such kinds should nave been
marketed much sooner, and the longer
they hold them the deeper will the lesson
be impressed upon their minds. Experi-
ences have proved that heavy cattle are
Improbable in the summer months, and
those now in the country had best be
shipped rather than held at home to accu-
mulate more weight which later promises
to meet poor appreciation from the
slauEhterers.

HINTS TO
First Aid to the Owner of a New Auto
mobile.

Life: One of the first things required
of the genuine automobiles is that he
must not know anything about it. And
the second is like unto the first. which
is hat Il man should disregard his
neighhors as much Us he loves himself.
These things being understood in the
beginning, your standing among the
fraternity is assured. Here are. in ad-
dltion, a few mi-.or matters that need
attention: When you start out, be
sure that your mixture is correct: Put
about five gallons of IS gasoline into
your tank, and d to this a couple of
~highballs for yourself. You will be sur
prised how much better the machine
will run. Upon the extreme care and
minuteness with which you examine
your auto before starting out will de-
pend the almost absolute certainty of
breaking down. Don't miss anything,
therefore,, from the steering apparatus
TO the spark plug. One of the greatest
things bou automobiing is the way it
trains the senses. By practice you will
get so that you can pass through the
most beautiful scenery without being
aware of 1t. thus acquiring that superb
concentration necessary. And you will
soon be able to detect any unusual
smell and locate II at once.

while this Will become second nature,
so that you won't even have to think
about it. Remember. that to keep your
auto in the best condition, you must
lubricate 1t constantly. To do this sue

cylinder oil on the machinery as you
use on yourself. BY and by you can

No More Canned Rabbits.

Spokane Spokesman-Review: The
property of the factory at Echo, Ore,
which was established to can the
blacktail rabbits of that vicinity, is to
be disposed of at sheriff's sale. The
Oregon canned rabbit is evidently not
to make as much or a stir in the
world as was confidently expected at
one time, n the promoters Of the
enterprise and the community which
hoped to profit indirectly from their
success are naturally disappointed.
In the beginning 1t looked as il the
way was open for building up a sub
stantial industry. Rabbits could be
had for the catching, and as the sup
ply was practically inexhaustible II APP
peared that If money could be made in
canning one of them, a corresponding
~ large amount could be realized by
packing thousands of them. The meat
was found to be sound, nutritious.
wholesome and palatable, and the mar
ket for a cheap article of meat food
seemed promising at home and abroad,
But the experience Of a year or more
seems to have shown that there is
more money in allowing the rabbit to
run wild than there Is in canning him
to appease the hunger of mankind.

drinking fountain at the end of the wide
walk leading past the front of the city
hall. Is a grating over a large opening IN
the ground. 1t Is rusted. and shows little
evidence of having been opened In a long
time. It covers a large p~assageway.
which, as one can see as one peers down
between the bars, leaGs under the side
walk and out under Broadway. One could
easily enter the passage II the grating
was lifted. for 1t Is six or eight feet across
and four or five wide. 1t leads to the
terminus of an experimental under
ground railway which few recall in these
days. Near the junction OF this passage
with the tunnel lies buried the circular
shield with which the subway was bored
and the cylindrical car in which passen-
gers were carried while the road was
open to the inspection Of the public.
Many well known persons rode In the car.
This underground railroad, which be-
| gan at the southwest corner of Warren
street and Broadway. under the sidewalk.
on the south side of the street. curved
out into Broadway and ran down that
street to q point opposite the south side
OF Murray street, was built In 1869 by the
Beach eum tic Transit company, OF
which A. E. Beach, then editor of 1.-The
Scientific American" was one of the chief
men. AT that time, as now. rapid transit
to Harlem was one of the problems being
discussed by the people OF the city. and
when this section of the subway was
built. as an experiment. 1t was thought
that the road would be continued to the
upper end OF the. island. The panic Of
1873 and the construction of the elevated
railroad killed the scheme. When the
debris left by the destruction in Decem-
Der. 1898. of the building at the southwest
corner OF Broadway and Warren street
was cleared away early In the winter of
1899. the tunnel was entered. 1t was
ound that the subway, Notwithstanding
the construction Of the towering Home
Life building near it. was in perfect con
dition. At the far end was found the car
which was used to show the practicable
ity Of the plan. the glass missing from the
oval window frames. The truck on which
1t had run was on the rails in front Of it.
When q new building was built on the
site of the fire the entrance was again
sealed up.

given a table OF longevity which sup
plies an answer.
Evidentally the Christian ministry is
the most healthful of all occupations.
Clergy" who head the list. live more
than twice as long as the average mem

Descent from a good stock. temperate

are said to be factors In the long life of
the clergy.
Farmers would show up better if
they spent less money in drink"
"Grocers owe their higher death rate
to the spirits they nsume
Lawyers would be better off If it were
not that after forty-fve they die off
more quickly.
Diapers die largely from consump-
ton, owing to the amount of dust en-
countered In their business, but the
surprisingly good health OF Goa miners
Is probably due to the harmlessness of
coal dust.
Bakers die largely from drink and

The County Board to Hold Impor-
ttant Session.
WILL TAKE UP BRIDGE MATTER
The County Board are to Meet at the Court
House Today to Decide on the Cues
ton of Making Ashland Wash
burn Road County Affair,

The county board is in session to-
day, and-a very important meeting
it will undoubtedly be. The most
important business to come up will
be the question of the adoption Of
the old bridge at the heaas of the bay
as county bridge, and to order
it rebuilt at the expense of the coun-
ty. It is expected that there will be
lively times during the discussion
Of the question. About three years
ago the town board of the then
town of Washburn built a new. road
across the swamp at the head of
the bay and ordered the old bridge
route ordered discontinued. A NUM-
Der of farmers living in that portion
of the town objected to this and
suits were started attempting to
stop work on the new road. The
new road has been failure. It is
said that about S., 900 has been spent
on it, and yet, at certain seasons Of
the year IL becomes impossible. The
town board of Eileen, in which the
roaC is located have refused to eX-
pend any more money in trying to
make good road. The town of
Washburn whose territory is tcibu-
tary to this road and whose farmers
use the road are anxious to discon-
tinue the new road and return to the
old bridge route.
4 resolution was presented at the
meeting of the county board signed
by Mr.. Hosmer, chairman of the
Town of Washburn, providing for
the adoption of the bridge as a coun-
! tv bridge. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on roads and
bridges, comps Of Fred Terrell OF
of Washburn, Henry Wachsmuth. OF
/ bayfield,, and A. Ell. Hosmer of the
Town Of Washburn. The committee
has examined the road which is now
in use, commonly called the new
road, and also the old bridge. and
their recommendations will un-
doubtedly govern the actions of the
board to a great extent. What it
will cost to rebuild the bridge. as it
should be rebuilt, that is filing in,
is question. Some claim that it
can be filled in fair shape for 800, 900
but it is conceded by most that it
will cost in the neighberhood of
$40, 900.
Tt is said that if the caunty board
refuses to adcpt this as a county
bridge, it can, according to law, be
compelled to pay half of the cost of
rebuilding provided the town in
which the bridge is located agrees
to pay the other half.
The question is up to the county
board and will likely be disposed of
at today's MEETINGS.
