Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz.:-O Min
aral-Acid or Alum, C) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and o. 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.
() Mineral acid, or Alum, is made
from a kind of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vltriol 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 a pound.
~ Bone Acid, or Phosphate. is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to q large manufac-
turer of a phosphate powder. The
U. s. Patent Office Report gives a full
"he SAaNt lplIOh, puh AhO Nv
i!g 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 of 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 the only ingredient that should be
used in a baking powder to act upon
the soda, as its w~holesomeness is be-
yond question. Cream Of Tartar bak,
ing 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 so cents Of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents Of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

In the utilization Of waste products
In making cheap substitutes for expen-
sive materials there is IN attractive
field for the inventor. Rubber, for ex-
ample, is growing dearer every year.
Some success has been had lately from
other plants, but a fortune is waiting
for the man who will bring forward a
real substitute. Paper is cheap" you
may hear a newspaper editor say to
the young reporters who crowd too
many lines on a page, but the owner
Of the publication does not think so,
when he has to spend a million dollars
or more a year for white paper. Wood
pulp paper is growing more expensive;
the man who makes paper out OF some
other fiber, at less cost, will not need
to worry about his financial future. A
company is being formed to make pa.
per from the waste hulls Of the cotton
seed; nearly every other part Of the
plant is now utilized.
Paving materials are far from per-
feet. Asphalt is very expensive, and
there are many objections to it. What
is wanted is a material that will have
all the permnaency Of asphalt, all the
silence Of the wood pavements Of Lon
don, and all the holding qualities of the
country macadamiZed road-a pave
mens that will be firm, but soft; that
will be smooth, but not slippery: that
will last, and yet can be easily re-
moved; and that, above all else, will be
clean. To be a cheap pavement il
ought to be made from some waste ma
terial. A fireproof substitute for wood
made from waste material, will pay its

Are the PackersReceiving Fair PlayP

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
rOundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to %cOntrovert the figures
contained in tnat exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investigation
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements Of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, a COOL
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
"forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de-
partment Of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. 1t
may be well to suspend Judgment up
on the packers until the charges
against them are proved.

Woman Thief.

Released Monday from the State prls-
on at Auburn, N. Y, Helen Wilson,
80 years old, was arraigned before a
magistrate in Philadelphia yesterday
charged with the theft of 81, 500 worth
of iewelry aud silverware from Mrs. A.
H. Seaman, of that city. The robbery
was committed in 1901. The woman
secured a position as maid to Mrs. Sea-
man. and while the family we're away
during the summer Of 1901 the woman
was left in charge Of their town house.
She is said to have taken the jewelry and
siIverware and disappeared.
The woman is a perfect vision OF
beauty. Her natural blonde heir, lux
urisut and shimmering, arranged in sty.
lish couture, crowned a well-rounded
head, and her perfect complexion, Gre
clan features and smiling eyes elected
a murmur of admiration. According to
police records of the country the woman
has a record as a female thief that rivals
any of its kind. Her great beauty has
made theft easy, and on scores OF occa-
sions is said to have gained her lenien-
cy that a homely face would never have
received.
According TO these records, she has
robbed scores Of people in the east, and
her favorite mode of proceeding was to
secure employment as lady's maid,
gain the confidence of her employer, and
when accorded a position of trust, ab'
scond with all the jewels and silver in
sight.

Warns America.

Privy Councillor Goldberger, an au-
thority on the tariff question, has just
published in the Berlin Tageblatt an
article which has excited much attention
in that city. In it he discusses the
question of a reciprocal treaty commerce
aly between the United States and
Germany.
Although at present the Americans
are in a contented mood, he says, owing
to their prosperity, the time will come
when their demands will diminish, and
the States will absolutely need larger
export trade for the country's enormous
industries. ,
If reciprocal treaties are not concluded
then the United States will find the
doors of all the European States, es-
pecially those of Germany, closed to
them.
Herr Goldberger admits, however,
that for the moment there is no hope oil
the reversion of the American tariff.
Everything in the United States"
he says, "points to the rejection by
Congress of President RooseyelPs pro-
posals for the reform of the railway
tariff. 10 addition to this, the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League is display
ing the greatest activity, both among
electors and members of Congress, t
prove any concessions on protection
would be a danger to trade. Henry
Litch6eld West, however, raises a warn
ing voice that if no reciprocity treaty i
concluded with Germany the most-fav
ored nation clause will cease 10 exist
and in the end all European nations viii
continue to oppose the United States
with protective tariffs.
