CARNEGIE LAKE
Steel Maenate's Donation to Princeton
University.

Reviewing the opening of spring
sports among the colleges. Golfers for
April 22d comments on the new lake
to be given to Princeton University by
Andrew Carnegie. Golfers says:
In college sport on this side OF the
water, Princeton's new artificial lake
is the most interesting possibility. The
lake means, of course, that Princeton
will have crew next year. and the ad-
dition of an entirely new quantity to
the races at Poughkeepsie or New Lon
don stirs up no end of enlivening fan
cies. The lake is the gift of Mr.. An
drew Carnegie, who, finding libraries
but slow means of carrying off his
income, is hoping to accelerate the
speed of it's departure by turning 1t
into the more fluid form of water. The
Princeton undergraduates are not
bothered with the qualms felt by the
Boston ministers in contemplating the
gifts of Mr.. Rockefeller, nor do they,
apparently, share the anguish which
has tortured some sensitive souls that
the thrifty steel kings methods of pre-
pairing his penniless entry into heaven
should be extended then to the hal
lowed ground of an ancient university.
A lake is a lake, apparently, its gen
esis will soon be forgotten. and in our
minds eye we see future generations
of sons of old Nassau sitting in the
moonlight, dissolved in sentiment. and
singing to a banjo accompaniment
some such words as
Hail to thee. o fair Carnegie!
Hail, thou sunlit inland sea!
Alma Matters ancient waters;
Hail Carnegie. Hail to thee!"
When completed, the lake will have
set Mr.. Carnegie back about one hun
dred and seventy-five thousand dollars.

ocean Yacht Race Gossip.

New York, May 21-Paul Eve Ste
venson, the noted yachting writer,
says:
"All attempt to estimate with even
approximate accuracy the chances of
any given boat in the kaisers cup race,
which started on Tuesday at the Sandy
Hook Lightship. would be almost as
futile as weather forecast six months
ahead. So great variety of condi-
tions will be encountered in the 5000
miles that the eleyen yachts started
upon an almost equal basis. though
naturally the most highly developed
boat from the naval architects view
point would be the favorite in calcu-
lating the odds and chances.
Still, it is entirely conceivable that
the schooner Hamburg. a Watson de-
signed racing boat. should be defeated
by the Fleur de Lis. much smaller
cruising schooner. Again. much inter-
est attaches to the various rigs of the
competitors, four types being repre-
sented. viz, yawl. schooner. bark and
ship: while still wider range exists
in the dimensions, the extremes being
obtained in the Fleur de Lis of ninety
one gross tons and the Valhalla OF
1,200 gross tons.

VOTE FOR CHURCH UNION.
United Brethren to Join With congre-
aational and Methodist Protestants.

Topeka, Kan. May 20.-The United
Brethren general conference Thurs
day voted in favor of union with the
ant churches. The opponents of the
plan argued that its adoption would
cause the United Brethren church to
lose its identity. and predicted the
federation would finally be named
Congregational.
Bishop J. S. Mills and Bishop E. B.
Kephart aided DR.. l.. 5. Cornell of
Denver in supporting the plan.
IF the delegates are capable of
clearly understanding the syllabus as
it is submitted to them" said Bishop
Kephart, they will see that 1t does
not provide for an organic union OF
the three churches, but only for u
closer federation"
When a vote was taken only eight
negative votes were recorded. Com
missioners will be appointed to confer
with representatives of the Methodist
Protestant and Congregational
churches Whatever plan they agree
upon will be submitted to referen-
DUN vote of the membership of the
three churches. So far as the legis.
lative bodies of the churches are con-
cerned. the church union is settled.
The closing of the publishing house
which for fifty years has been con-
Quoted by the United Brethren. was
virtually agreed upon. 1t was ex-
planned that the big plant at Dayton,
Ohio. had been running behind for
several years.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market viz:-(D Min
eral-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 ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
a. Mineral-Acid, or Alum. is made
from kind Of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution product is obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
about two cents pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to 25c. pound.
e., Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer of phosphate powder. The U.
8. 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 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 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. boil
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. 1t differs in
no respect from the form in which 1t
originally existed in the grape. Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive. is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to SO cents 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 rs 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.

CONSUMPTION FOUGHT
BY TUBERCULOSIS CONFERENCE
Hopeful View Taken by National As.
soeiation at Its Meeting In
Washington.

Washington, May 20.-The first an
nual conference of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis ended last night with
a banquet. Two days have been occu'
pied with the presentation of views by
prominent members of the medical pro-
fession from all sections of the coun-
try.
The comparison Of data regarding
what is being done to stamp out the
great white plague" led many speakers
to predict that popular interest Is
awakened on the subject and that the
immediate future will witness greater
organized activity in the treatment
and care of consumptives than in the
past.
One section of the congress has de-
voted itself to the discussion of the
sociological side of the problem. while
another has taken up the medical lea-
lures.
The morning session OF the socio-
logical section embraced symposium
on sanitarium treatment of consump-
ton. In discussing the sanitarium
movement. DIR. w. ]. Marcley OF Mas
sachusetts gave great credit to enorts
of labor unions.
IL. Nj, Danner of Denver advocated
special tax on unsanitary sections OF
cities.
H. Allen of New York told of the
experiments in that city in the seaside
treatment of surgical tuberculosis Tor
children. One hundred and nifty chill
dren have been treated in this man
ner, he said, and the success has been
phenomenal.
One of the points of interest brought
n
effort so far made to establish self
supporting communities or settle
ments of tuberculosis patients had
proved a failure Nevertheless par
tial support had been accomplished
under carefully directed industries In
the open air. 1t was the general opin-
ion that all cases of tuberculosis
should be allowed to remain at large.
where proper care of the patient was
maintained and proper sanitary re-
Quirements observed to protect mem
bers of the family in which the pa
tient resided. Nowhere except in New
York is there legal authority to COM
pei the retention of patient against
his will. Such authority, 1t was ar
'gued, was most desirable.
Speaking of the lax enforcement OF
sanitary regulations by municipalities
DR.. ]. P. C. Foster of New Haven said
he arrived at the Boston station one
night at 12 O'Clock. On all of the sta
ton walls he observed large signs
stating that 500 was the fine for es-
pectorating on the floor. On the
floor were enough evidences of the vi
olation of this law to support with the
collected penalty a state institution.
His conclusion was that either such
laws should not be enacted, or that
they should be enforced.

Industrial School for Girls.

Denver. May Ex-Governor McDon
aid has appointed the following named
persons as members of the State Indus.
trial School of Girls:
Fred L. Paddelford of Golden.
Royal j. DonEen of Denver
Mrs. r. E. England of Denver.
Two more members remain to be ap.
pointed.
Mr.. Paddelford is superintendent of
the State Industrial School for Boys
at Golden. He will probably be made
president of the new board and will
have supervisory charge of the entire
institution.
Mi. Donnen lives at 1910 East
Eighteenth avenue. He has been
resident of Denver for about six years,
and is a retired business man. For
MANY years he lived in Leadville, and
is a personal friend of Governor Nc
Donald. While in Leadville he was en-
gagged in mining, and was also in the
livery business.
Mrs. England has for a number of
years been prominent in local politics
as a Republican. She was formerly
member OF the board. 1t is understood
that she was placed upon the new
board upon the recommendation of Mr..
Paddelford.
The News quotes Governor McDon-
aid as saying that no member of tho
old board would be reappointed. 1t
was reported that an exception would
be made of DR.. Josephine Peavy of
Colorado Springs, who was just recent
ly appointed to serve on the old board.
When queried on this point the gov
ernor said:
II am making a clean sweep. No
member of the old board will be reap
pointed"

THE EPWoRTH LEAGUE
CONVENTION At DENVER IN JULY
Small Army at Work Making Prepara-
tions-Large Attendance Prom
ised From All Sections.

Denver, May 22.-Plans for the In
ternational Epworth League conven-
tion, which meets In Denver, July 9th
to 9Th, are maturing rapidly. and the
various chairmen have their work or
ganized to a point where they could re-
ceive the visitors at any time they
might choose to come. The program
committee in Chicago has sent word
that brilliant men of national reputa-
tion will be heard at the convention.
Speaking of the work done by the local
executive committee, Secretary w. e.
Williams said yesterday:
"A small army, including over 1000
people, is now working for the Epworth
League convention committee, and as
the convention approaches this army
will increase in size. The convention
committee Is holding meetings every
Friday evening at the Albany hotel,
and will continue to meet regularly
until the convention. Every committee
is thoroughly organized and equipped
and could handle the vast crowds that
are coming with only two weeks no
tice.
There has been considerable specu-
lation as to the attendance at the con-
vention and some wild prophesies
have been made, but the committee is
very conservative when it places the
ngures at 10000. Letters from trans
portation managers all over the United
States indicate this, and there are
many parties being formed. Of which
the committee has no notice at this
time. The Union Pacific has fifty
trains over its line already scheduled.
1.-The secretarys Office on the second
floor of the Club building, is busy
place. We have sent out over 10000
copies of our convention prospectus.
with several thousand more yet to be
circulated. We have had literature in
abundance at every Epworth League
district convention that has been and
will be held between May 1st and July
list. The transportation managers in
nearly every state have issued neat
and attractive convention folders with
views of Denver and Colorado, while
all Colorado railroads and the eastern
lines have also issued attractive
pamphlets. In addition to this. over
twenty Methodist papers that circu-
lated among millions OF people have is
sued special convention editions with
views and write-ups of Colorado. The
amount of advertising the city and
state have received is incalculable.
A new committee has been added
to the general committee, that of state
clubs. C. NJ. Dearborn is chairman. The
,eople of the city are taking hold of
the state club proposition with en-
thusiasm. Pennsylvania leads the list
SO far with an immense membership.
Illinois and Iowa state clubs will be or
ganized Tuesday evening at Trinity
church, and the rivalry between these
two states for the largest club is very
keen.
"One of the interesting contests at
the coming convention will be that be-
tween several cities to capture the
next Epworth League gathering, two
years hence. Minneapolis and Dallas,
Texas, together with some of the cit
les on the Atlantic coast and Birming-
ham, Alabama, are the principal cities
in the race. Birmingham has so far
made the most systematic and effect
i've bid.

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount Of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
1.-The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection of the stom-
ach.' l was actually SO nervous that
l could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper. and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible l doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good. F
MY physician put me on all sorts
of diet. and tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. l was almost discouraged,
and when 1 tried Grape-Nuts l did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad | am that / tried it.
l feel like new person. have gain
ed in weight and don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. feel so strong
again that I am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me so. l never notice now, anf my
mind is SO clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek. Mich.
There's reason
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers In these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate OF potash con-
tanned in the natural grain. which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filing in the thou
sands bf delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. GrapeNuts food is
sure road back to health in all such
cases.

BABY CAME NEAR DYING.
From an Awful Skin Humor-
Scratched Till Blood Ran
Wasted to a Skeleton
Speedily Cured by
Cuticura.

When three months old my boy
broke out with an itching, watery
rash all over his body, and he would
scratch till the blood ran. We tried
nearly everything, but he grew worse,
wasting to a skeleton, and we feared
he would die. He slept only when
in our arms. The first application OF
Cuticura soothed him so that he slept
in his cradle for the first time in many
weeks. One set of Cuticura made a
complete and permanent cure.
