DRUGS IN FOOD.
II in Doubt Read the Following.

At hearing before the committee
on public health of the Massachusetts
legislature, on a bill designed to pre-
vent the wholesale drugging of the
public, the following eminent Boston
physicians testified against the health
fulness of Rochelle salts, and strongly
recommended the passage of a law
which would prohibit the sale of those
cream of tartar baking powders which
leave this dangerous drug in the food:
DR.. Hartung, DR.. C. O. Kepler, DIR. F.
B. Foster, DR., G, NJ. Palmer.
The average consumer of baking
powder does not know that a reac.
tion occurs in the process of baking.
When chemical reaction takes place
the nature of the original material is
entirely changed, so that the sub
stances which remain in the food to
be eaten are very different from those
which compose the baking powder be
fore baking. For this reason the
statement that baking powder con-
tains alum or cream Of tartar is worth.

PROF. JAMES A. BENT DEAD.

Prof James A. Bent, who at one

as to what he eats. What the con.

have never denied this; they dare not

IMPROVING GERMAN CAVALRY.
Men TO Bo Drilled In Marksmanship- Ind,
pendence or Infantry the Aim.

pendcnce or Infantry tho Aim.
With the opening of the new year Of
military training a new manual OF regula-
tions for rife practice IN the cavalry arm
goes into effect in the German army. Il is
designed to improve greatly the standard
Of craftsmanship and to render the cavalry
independent of infantry support in making
expeditions into the enemy's country where
IL is separated from the main body of its
own army for days at a time and wherein
rspidity Of movement is as essential as
ability to resist attack.
In the Franco-German war OF 1870 the
German cavalry for the most part had no
firearm except the cavalry pistol, which
was no better than a popgun against the
French chassepot. The operations Of the
cavalry were greatly restricted on this
account.
Later the carbine was made the standard
arm OF the service n the present effort
to develop its effectiveness Is a result Of
the part that cavalry played In the Man.
churian campaigns OF the japanese Russian
struggle.
During the winter the recruits are drilled
in sighting n their sight Is trained by
obliging them to distinguish at average
battle distances objects not easily separable
from the natural background. In the sea-
son OF outdoor exercises opportunities are
taken to test the shooting capabilities OF
the men under something like conditions
Of actual war and these performances are
under the special supervision of brigade
and division commanders.
To complete the efficiency Of the cavalry
as an organization capable OF conducting
independent operations machine gums Of
light build and extra horsed, q % as TO be
capable OF rapid movement, are to be at
taohed to each cavalry brigade.

TURTLES LIKE TOMATOES
And Are Able to Consume Twice Their Owr
Size OF the Vegetable.
From Country LIE IN America.

From Country Life IN America.
During the past season l have been some
what disilusioned as TO the feeding habits
of the box turtle. With the advent OF the
tomato season it was noticed every morning
that four or five Of the largest and rtpest
tomatoes were partly or totally devoured.
The peculiarly shaped bites were a puzzle.
II could not be the work Of the ~neighbor's
chickens or ducks. No familiar insects
could cause such injuries.
At last a large specimen OF box turtle
was caught in the act Of ~devouring a tomato.
The most surprising fact in this connection
Il the height 70 which these clumsy creatures
can reach. Tomatoes are not safe from them
unless they hang six to eight inches above
the ground.
The appetite Of the box turtle never
fails. A small turtle will easily consume
a tomato twice his own size.
ANY pears or apples which may be blown
from the trees age also greedly devoured
by them. Two heighbors had the same
experience as myself, n / therefore sus-
>pect that this habit Of box turtles may
prove to be quite general.

RAILROADS FIND FRIENDS.
Utah Organizations Oppose a PIa TO Create
Railroad Commission.

q RAILROAD commission.
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 29.-The wave
Of anti-railroad legislation which has
been sweeping owe the United States
has met a setback In Utah. A proposition
to pass q Law creating a railroad commits
sion for the State has aroused much dis
approval, in marked contrast to the senti-
ment In other States. This has occurred
In spite OF the fact that a serious coal short
age exists, for which the public Is inclined
to blame the railroads.
The agitation for a railroad commission
started with the Manufacturers and Mer-
chants Association OF Salt Lake City about
two weeks ago. First the COMMITTEES sought
the Endorsement Of the Salt Lake Real
Estate Association.
The real estate men voted unanimously
against the movement. and came out with an
address to the public declaring that the
railroads were preparing TO spend millions
OF dollars in building up the State, and that
IL would be highly unwise to pass a law
creating a commission or to agitate any
other legislation which might be construed
as hostile to the railroads,
The Salt Lake Commercial Club refused
to give its indorsement to the scheme, and
nearly every daily paper in the State has
come out along the same lines. so that It
lie probable the movement will not even
get so far az the introduction OF a bill In
the Legislature.
