'FR,sco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York In FigcT
and Freshness of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says z. s. Martin in Appleton S
Magazine There is also measure OF
hospitality shown to writers and their
products in Boston, Philadelphia. Chi
cago and Indianapolis.
But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four of these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
ness and vigor of its inspirations.
1t has had an ocean of its own to
stimulate it's Imagination, new coun-
try behind and about 1t and an ad-
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live its own life in its
own way and dream and live its own
romances.
1t has had money, too. 1t has sent
out it's ENJOYS to view the world land
a good many of them have stayed
away, and because it has been one
of the worlds great starting places
and landing places it has viewed ha
bitually from it's own doorstep pretty
much every kind of human creature
that has been worth looking at.
Altogether, San Francisco has beer
like no other city of our republic.

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a well estab-
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 residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing its 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 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
along 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; Alain baking
powder is better, and very much
| cheaper.

TRACING LOST BUTTER FAT.
Many Ways in Which II May Oisap-

The following from the Athens
(Nis.) Record illustrates the many
ways in which butter fat may disap-
pear from sight:
One of the neighboring farmers
came into the Office the other day
Just after receiving his check from
the creamery, and by his actions YER
flied once more the fact that a man
arrives at some very wrong conclu-
sions when he jumps at them. rather
than arriving at them as a result OF
deliberation His statement for the
month showed him that he had deliv-
cred to the creamery about 203
pounds of cream testing 3S per cent.

Is one of the farmers who is keeping
a milk sheet, and his record showed
that his cows have produced for the
month of August 100 pounds of but
ter fat Our friend naturally arrived
Immediately al the conclusion that
the creamery had beaten him out Of
32.S pounds of butter fat. His heart
was hot against Them" and he was
letting a little of the heat out.
Thirty-two pounds of butter fat is
quite a little bunch, and we proceed
I'd to look for it-not in the cream
cry, but somewhere between the cows
and the creamery-and to our salts
faction and to his surprise, we found
nearly all of it.
1t so happened that we had tested
our friends skim milk and found
that it contained about A of one per
cent. of butter fat. The total milk
produced by the COWS during the
month was 2,5309 pounds, which re-
tanning a of one per cent. OF fat
would retain in all 1912 pounds Oh
| butter fat. Here was third of our
butter fat going into the skim milk,
and for which by no manner OF rea'
soning could the creamery man be
held responsible. Yet our friend was
blaming the creamery man when In
reality his separator was robbing him
of a portion of his butter fat.

August. Here we found that II

North Dakota Solves the ARA its,a.Ion

IFCSiCUus
North Dakota seems Il ia d; g ind
the key to the question, dc" 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 linseed 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 mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called 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 -rea
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. Il
would leave us free to buy what We
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did no
want.
