WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used In making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz:-U Min
eral-Acid or Alum, az Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and CD Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint Of health, to
ents, 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 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 MineralAcid
sells from 10 to 25c. a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufac-
turer 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 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.
60 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 it
originally existed in the grape, Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder to
act upon the soda, as It's wholesome
ness is beyond question Cream OF
Tartar baking powders sell at about
10 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 25 cents a
pound are made Of Miueral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents oil
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to SO
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

SMUGGLING BY AUTOMOBILE.

Automobiles are being used to snug
gle goods across the frontiers of Eu-
:.ope. The trick is becoming more
common as the popularity of the mo-
tor ears increases on the continent.
The adaptability of the motor car to
the purposes of the land smuggler has
tempted many to run gauntlet with
all kinds of dutiable goods, and O
that a few cases have come to light
the customs officials are devoting un-
usual attention to those folks who
show a preference for travelling in
their cars under cover of darkness.
On the French frontier recently sus-
picions were aroused by the frequent
night excursions over the Berlin side
by a particular motor a II. An am
buscade vas laid. and as a challenge
only resulted in the speed of the car
being increased, obstacles were placed
in its way. The occupants of the car
decamped, and when the vehicle was
searched $275 worth of Moravian to-
bacco was seized. Both the car and
its contents We're confiscated.-Brook-

DECENCY.

Philadelphia, Mey 25.-In his effort
to defeat the contamination of the
plan to lease the city gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company for
seventy-fve years for $4,000, 900,
Mayor Weaver yesterday dismissed
the principal members Of his cabinet
and thereby delivered a staggering
blow to the dominant political organ.
iZation of this city, which has caused
probably the greatest sensation in the
history of Philadelphia municipal af-
fairs. While the Republicans were
expecting some move by the mayor
against the proposed lease. they were
not prepared for the removal Of David
]. Smyth, the director Of the depart
ment of public safety, and Peter r.
Costello, director of the department of
public works. The mayor has an
nounced that he is in the fight to the
bitter end, which means that a great
political
Battle Is Now On,
and will be carried to the polls next
November. In his fight against the
gas lease and the Republican organ
iZation. the mayor has called in as
counsel Elihu Root of New York and
Former Judge James Jay Gordon OF
this city. Judge Gordon is a Demo.
crat. The mayors stated purpose in
going outside the city for his principal
counsel is that he wants a man who
is not identified with any faction in
the struggle o on.
After the removal of the officers the
mayor made public the names of the
men he had selected for the places
These are Col. Sheldon Potter. to fill
the vacancy of director of public safe

1t is not likely that the city council
will confirm the men appointed by til,
mayor. but they will hold the office a,

city, and I'll day the place around tn,

While the mayor mas not given an,
intimation as to his course with re

holders lest they be caught in the pc

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for tho
Decoration Of Homes,

H
The styles of home decorations have
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say hat we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better eft.
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
Of paint, or of kalsomine, or Of Ala
Observation-Disclosures the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power. as well as permanency and
beauty Of color. Alabastine, a wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means a hard white rocks
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
il the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe.
drals and churches, have a perma-
nency and an art Of which wall paper
is but a cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach of the every
day home. They can be done with
AlaEastine, which is permanent in it's
coloring. 1t does not rub off, and it
has the soft effect Of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re.
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there a be no muss, for all that is
needed is to lay a sheet or canvas on
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush it on the wall. That is all there
is to it, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.
