All Chemically Pure

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporiZed as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's function during
process of baking, leaving no atom of
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
calong the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

STRICT WITH PACKERS.

short of the placing on meat products
OF labels which will not deceive the
public was the ultimatum which Sec
retary Wilson delivered to forty rep
resentatives of various packing hous-

packers want their goods accepted
for interstate shipment the packages
must bear labels more specific than
those used hitherto 1t will not do
for instance to state merely that a
package contains the sausage. The
label must distinctly describe the ar

and beef combined or of other in

The meat products already put up and
held in stock, but secretary Wilson as
sured them it was not his intention to
open every package but to select a
certain percentage and if they were
found as represented he would author

In administering the law Secretary
Wilson said he would apply common

to be hypocritical or to impose any
unnecessary hardships on the pack

North Dakota Solves the AduIteratiOn

tNOTlIt OdROSd 0OtNCS AfsS S4OQtIGTzbtOn
Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and Iinseed OIL
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan.
Let the label tell,'' and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-caHed white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead.''
In all other States mixtures are of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no-reaI
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want

SHORTAGE OF $7,ooo,ooo.
Real Estate Trust Company of
Philadelphia Closed Its Doors
Total Liabilities $IO,OOO,OOO.

h il d e p h a, Pa.-Unable to
meet its obligations because of the
large amount of money loaned on in
sufficient security by it's president,
now dead, the Real Estate Trust COM
pany of Philadelphia, which up to
!ast Saturday was considered one of
the strongest financial institutions in
the city closed its doors Tuesday.
Soon after the doors closed George
n. Earle, jr., a prominent financier
was appointed receiver. The liabili-
ties of the company are placed at $1O,-
100000, against which there are
quick assets of about $3,50O,O00 and
collateral Of about $8,00O,OOO, which
is not negotiable or readily convert
ible. This doubtful collateral is held
mostly as security for loans Of about
$5,300,000 made to Adolph Segal, a
promoter of this city. The man re-
sponsible for the failure was Frank
K. Nipple, one of Philadelphia's best
known citizens, who died suddenly
last Friday morning in his country
home at Bryn Mawr, near here, unu-
der circumstances which, in the light
of later developments, lead to the sus-
picion that he may have committed
suicide.

MORE PEOPLE IN KANSAS.
Population of the State Has In
creased 66,492 in Last Year-Wy-
andOtte County Gained Most.

Topeka, Kansas. = Kansas has
gained 66,492 in population in the last
year, according to the report issued
Thursday by F. D. Coburn, secretary
of the board of agriculture The in
crease is given at 4.3 per cent, over
the preceding year. The population
of the state is 1,544,968. The report
is based on the returns of the asses
sor, who gathered the statistics March
1, 1906. The report in part says:
This is the largest population ever
reported in the history of the state,
and the gain is seemingly well dis
tributed, although the western coun-
ties show greater percentages of in
crease than do those further east.
The SO counties lying west of the
99th meridian show an aggregate
gain of 22,377, or 14.7 per cent.
The largest individual increase is
in Wyandotte county, which has
gained 1888, followed by Moctyom
cry, Sedgwick, Labette and Shawnee
in the order named.
Wyandotte, Shawnee, Montgomery.
Sedgwick and Crawford are the five
leading counties in 1906.

Deadly New Rifle.

Bullets from the new 30-caliber
rifles of the United States army whirl
with great rapidity. The rifling gives
one revolution of the bullet about its
axis in ten inches. At the muzzle the
velocity of the bullet is $500 feet a
second, which means 2,760 turns a
second, assuming that the bullet does
not strip in the rifling. The circum-
ference OF the bullet is .942 of an
inch, which gives peripheral velocity
of $500 inches each second. or $4,000
feet a minute.
