X c BAKING POWDER.
The Best Example of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should Be in Quail
ity and Price.

ity and Price.
A popular and efficient baking powder re-
quires two things-first, that the food made
with 1t shall be absolutely wholesome
second, that it shall be sold at reasonable
price.
In talking about the healthfulness of
baking powder, IL must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article of diet
any more than compressed yeast. One
would be quite as Objectionable for food as
the other, except that of the two, the bak-
ing powder might be preferable.
We do not eat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them When placed upon
the table no yeast remains in the bread and
no baking powder in the biscuit. Both
leavening agents have been destroyed in
the aeration and the baking otherwise, in
stead of light bread and biscuit we should
have mass of heavy, rd-baked dough
One well-known brand, X G. Baking
Powder, is sold under a $500, 900 guarantee
OF its heafthfulness and purity. There can
be no doubt that baking powder so guar
anteed is absolutely wholesome and perfect
ly reliable. Even If it did remain in the
food it could do nothing but good.
With regard to price, baking powder as
efficient and wholesome as Is possible to
make can be sold, at fair profit, for one
cent an ounce. II 1t costs more the price Is
exhorbitant
Millions of pounds of K G Baking Powder,
made by the Jaques Manufacturing Com
pany OF Chicago, have been sold at the
above figure all over the country and X @
offers the best example at present on tho
market Of what good baking powder
should be, both In respect of quality and
reasonable price.

Rational and Feminine.

The truth Is women do not care
about food. When it's for themselves
it ceases to interest them. Women
who live alone can never be trusted to
eat at all, 1t Is sad commentary on
the sex that Eve should so long have
resisted the seductions of that apple.
What, of course, overcame her was
the desire to have something she
knew she ought not to have-a per-
fectly rational and feminine desire
The thing itself had no influence over
her; it might just as we'll have been

for his prodigious wealth. His coun-

Hop oS North oeioe Region

North Pole almost 100000 square
miles of area is yet to be surveyed
and at the South Pole lies a continent
more than twice the size of Europe
awaiting exploration.
Not only are the terrestrial poles
awaiting the adventurer, but the even
more important magnetic poles, of
which there are also two, are not yet
accurately charted. Ross discovered
the north magnetic pole in 1881, but
his instruments were primitive COM
pared with those now made, and the
knowledge of magnetism seventy-five
years ago did not equal that of to-day.
Ross may have discovered the north
magnetic pole, and he may not have
done SO. Capt Amundsen left Nor
way on an expedition two years ago
to rediscover 1t and to accurately
chart this important spot. A few
months ago word was received that
the intrepid Norwegian had accom-
plished his purpose, but the report
awaits confirmation. So far as the
south magnetic pole is concerned, it
has never been reached. AS yet no
explorer has held magnetic needle
over the spot, although Borchgrevink
in 1898, in the Southern Cross expedi-
ton, claimed to have determined it's
location. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who
was member of the Belgica An
tarctic expedition, says that no fewer
than six positions are assigned by

IN A CHINESE DOCTORS OFFICE.
How He Makes Examinations and Ad-

The method of treating sick persons
adopted by Chinese doctors in some cities
is similar to that of other physicians of
the United States and those Of Great
Britain. They depend much. however,
on the examination of the pulse. Their
sense of touch is SO wonderfully devel-
oped that ii is said they can determine
the condition of the heart as well as
some of the other organs merely by the
feebleness or strength of the beats: but
