READ THE LABEL.
Some of the Alum Baking Powder
Offered by GroCerS.

AS is we'll known, the laws of most
states require all baking powders
made from alum to show that fact
on their labels.
1t is not always that the manu-
facturers comply with the law, or
if they do in a technical way the
terms used are not ineligible to
the average consumer.
For instance classic aluminium
sulphate' is nothing more or less
than alum. -
The following list of baking pow
ders containing alum is made up
from the official reports Of the Food
Commissioners or from the report
of the U. S. Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, or other equal
ly reliable authority:
BAKING POWDERS CoNTAING ALUM.

The housekeeper should bear in
mind that alum costs but two cents
pound while cream of tartar costs
thirty. The quality of the powder
is therefore usually indicated by the
price.

the status of a great enterprise was
submitted to him in the form of a

LEADS WORLD IN FlAnAcE.
France Succeeds England as a Result
of South African War.


A writer in the Review of Reviews
says that France is now playing the
role OF the worlds banker England
lost her claim to the title when she
went to war in South Africa. A gen.
GRAFTON ago one had to go to London
to feel the pulse of the international
money market Today one makes a
better diagnosis in Paris.
The strides toward financial su-
premacy which France is making have
been most rapid in the last five years.
In that time French investors have
taken up many milliard francs of
foreign obligations. They furnished
Greht Britain with much of the cap
ital that went to finance the boer
war; they loaned enormous amounts
to Russia, practically supplying the
money needed in the struggle against
Japan; they provided Germany with
1,OOO. 100000 marks in 1904-5 to carry
on her tremendous industrial enter
prises; they took liberal amount of
the last Japanese loan, more than
half of the Russian loan of last April
and finally they supplied borrowers
in the United States with fully $780,
100000 during the tight money period
of last winter and are now financing
the bond and note issues of some of
our greatest corporations
There is a great reservoir of free
| capital In France which is being
tapped by the other thirsty NATIONS
and which in spite of the drain on
it keeps well filed and shows no sign
of exhaustion. The Bank of France,
the largest hoarder of gold next to
the United States treasury has in its
vaults today nearly s6Oo,OOO,O0O of
the precious metal: two years ago
it had $3.50, 900, 900 and in 1900. when
Paris began slowly to forge ahead of
London as the center OF largest
money supply, the institution held
only $375,000.000.
How has France, a nation indus
trially inferior to Germany and with
commerce much below that of
Great Britainn, gained such a power
in world finance? The answer is,
through her domestic economy. For
frugality, thrift, intense application to
the work in hand and the commend
able ambition to carve from life's
labors enough to make bright the
inevitable rainy day and to cheer old

the catch was almost nothing, had

savings of more fruitful years. Tens

The population of France is about
100000 people, the wealth of
France is nearly s45,000,000, 900. This
wealth is evenly distributed. The num-

was 394,7S7 and of these one-half

LUXURY OF A GREAT eATTLEsHIP.

Commanders of of the great naval ves-

November. The interesting fact is brought out
in connection with the gossip of the navy men
what luxurious equipment some of the great
ships have especially for the high officers. In
telling why one of the great ships the Connecti-
cut, should be selected for the presidents trip,
these instructive facts were brought out:
Strictly speaking said prominent officer,
the Connecticut ought to be the choice of the
government for the honor of taking the president
to Panama for the reason that it is made for
flagship of a fleet and has accommodations for
an admiral. Now, the average landsman does not
appreciate what these accommodations mean.
