WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used In making
the three different varieties Of bakins
powders on the market, WE'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.
ID 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 Csc 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 large manufac.
turer of phosphate powder The U,
S. Patent Office Report gives 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 30 cents pound.
(S) 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 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 II
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 it's 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.

PLANTS IN THEIR SLUMBER.
Species That Remain Dormant
'-hrouuh the Winter.

Plants sleep much the same as ami.
mails. Their sleep is quite real, and
its reality can be shown. Perhaps the
best marked form of slumber In the
vegetable world is that of the great
winter rest, when so many species re.
tire altogether under the sheltering
soil, and there lie dormant, side by
side with the slumbering animals.
How does the long winter rest of ami
mails differ, after all, from the winter
rest of the crocus or the hyacinth,
which withdraw all the living material
from their leaves in autumn and bury
themselves inches deep in the soil in
the shape of bulb till February rains
or April suns tempt leaves and flowers
out again.. The whole vast class OF
Dubious and tuberous plants, indeed
the lilies, orchids, daffodils, narcissi,
tulips, squills, bluebells and snowdrops
are they not just alternating crea
lures, which retire underground in au-
tumn with the slugs and the queen
wasps, to reappear in spring about
the same time with the return to up.

Cow Chased Cycljst,

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Piay7

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
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 that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no.
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun.
dalton. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible Of contra
diction, good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa.
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in 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 bank |
ing department of the Iowa State Au
ditor's Office, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state.
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and offlcially states
that they have been caused by unwlss
speculations and by reckless banking
methods It may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

COLORADO HAS A SODA LAKE.
Remarkable Discovery Made in the
Heart Of San Luis Valley,

remarkable discovery MADE In the
Heart Of San Luis Valley.
One of the most remarkable dis.
coveries ever made in the region is
that OF lake of liquid soda in the in.
accessible desert between Crestone,
COL, and Hooper, in the San Luis
valley. The lake is an acre and a quar-
ter in extent and lies at the bottom
of little basin valley in the desert.
On its surface soda crystals have
collected to depth of eighteen inches,
the whole lake having the appearance
of body of ice with a hard snow
covering.
A recent examination by the state
school of mines shows that these cry.
stalls are 81 per cent pure soda, purer
than most of the commercial soda
offered on the market. A Denver man,
E. M. Fake, has secured a lease of the
land containing the lake and is now
installing machinery which will con,
vert the native crystals into market
able form. There are 1000 tons in
sight.
The school of mines experts say
that the soda Is creation of field.
spar. The granite masses of the Sangre
de Cristo range stand sentinel on
two sides Of the little valley. The
feldspar in the granite, undergoing
decomposition, collects in the lake
basin, where it is held in check by an
impervious clay, and proper condi
lions are furnished for concentration
and evaporation.

Fixing RaiIrnad Rafca.

Making railroad rates is like Playing
"a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities TO be benefited, producers.
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every posi-
BILE move is studied for its effect on the
general result by skilled traffic mana
gers. A false move in the making OF
freight rates may mean the ruin or
city, of great manufacturing interest,
Of an agricultural community. Rail-
roads strive to build up all these so
that each may have an equal chance in
the sharp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that in order to build up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate rates.
Rate making has been a matter of de-
velOpment; Of mutual concessions for
mutual benefit. That is why the rail-
roads of the United States have yolun
tarily made freight rates so much lower
in this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

The PEOPLES Schools.

The schools belong to the people
and will be what the people make
them. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
school officers and teachers are the
only ones that have to do with the
making of the schools. The people
set the pace for. the teachers and
school officers. il school officer
does not meet the ideals of the people
he is turned out at the first election.
If teacher does not meet the ideals
OF the people the teacher is quickly
reached through the school officers.
SO it gets back to the people in the
end. The man that thinks the schools
are not good enough should set him
self about having them improved. II
is astonishing how much one person
can do to improve the schools when
he sets himself about it.-Henry F.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because 1t
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink

E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.

Ancient Bedchambers.

In the seventeenth century English.
men thought it injurious to sleep in
rooms facing the sun, so most OF the
rooms faced north and east, opening
off a passage or else out of each
other. At the head of the stairs slept
the master and his wife, and all the
rooms tenanted by the rest Of the
household were accessible only
through that. The daughters of the
house and maid servants lay in rooms
on one side, say the right with the
maids in those most distant; those OF
the men lay on the left, the sons Of
the house. nearest the chamber OF the
master and the serving men farthest
away.
