DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Powders
Which Should be Exposed.

There has recently been attempted
at some grocery stores, and also at
dwelling houses, by agents who are
trying to sell alum baking powders,
what the exhibitors call baking pow
der test. They pretend to show by
some boiling test that pure cream OF
tartar baking powders contain some
| thing which every woman of intel
ligence knows they do not.
1t does not need chemist to ex-
pose this trick. Cream of tartar,
which is the chief constituent of the
best and most wholesale baking pow
der, is originally clear, white crystal.
This is ground into fine. creamy
-four, in which form, mixed with
baking soda, it is present in the baking
powder. Cream of tartar, when mixed
with water and boiled, simply re-
turns to it's crystal like form, and that
is all there is to the so-called test.
The matter of special interest to the
public is to know what these people
offer in place of cream of tartar pow
ders of we'll known purity and estab-
lished reputation against which these
ISLANDERS are directed. They are offer
ing baking powder which official
analyses have repeatedly shown is
made from alum, drug so we'll re-
cognized by physicians and scientists
as injurious to health that in many
countries it's use in bread is entirely
prohibited So cheap and inferior are
the ingredients of this powder that it
costs to make less than three cents a
pound. No prudent housewife will
knowingly put such stuff as this into
her food

FIELD OF ISANDHLWANA.
Where the Zulus Under Cetewayo
Wiped Out British Force-Procf
That Struggle Was Fierce.

The Zulus of to-day, it seems, are
as alert and cunning as their prede-
cessors, who, under Cetewayo,
wrought such terrible havoc. Every
European on the spot knows the his
tory of those bloody days, and of
Isandhlwana in particular. If any
thing could teach the necessity for
vigilant scouting, that would. While
the late Lord Chelmsford was splitting
up his forces, the enemy, 5000
strong, lay low to charge down upon
Isandhlwana in his absence. He re-
turned to the camp to find every man
butchered. The whole force left. over
500, had been slain, while the victors
had made haul of 102 wagons, 1,400
oxen, two seven-pounder guns, 400
rounds of shot and shell, 800 rifles.
250,000 rounds of ball cartridges.
C 10000 worth of commissariat sup
plies, End certain regimental colors.
The bravest were heartsick when
they went to bury the victims of
Isandhlwana. For five months the
bodies lay unburied. though gallant
men volunteered again and again in
The meantime to undertake the work.
Carrion birds had accomplished their
foal work, and merciful nature with a
green carpet of verdure had done her
best to obliterate the awful relics OF
TIE tragic day. But the burial party
were able to discover 500 bodies and
identify many. Money and checks.
portraits and letters. jewelry and
souvenirs Uttered the hillside. Every
where were evidences of the ferocity
of the struggle. The Zulus are said
to have lost 1000 men; but these had
TO" the most part been carried off.
Here and there, however. were found
block men and white locked in the
sa fsge embrace in which they had
| died. One Zulu was found with his

STRENGTHENS
The ENTIRE SYSTEM,

Mr.. Chas. L. Sauer, Grand Scribe,

writes from the City Hall San Antonio,
Tex:
g Nearly two years ago I accepted a
position as secretary and treasurer
with one of the leading dry goods
esta blishments of Galveston, Tex.
The sudden change from high and
dry altitude to sea level proved too
much for me and l became afflicted
with catarrh and cold in the head, and
general debility to such an extent as to
almost incapacitate me for attending
to my duties.

ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS.
Delicacy Relished by All Animals
Even the Hippopotamus Devours
Them with Pleasure.

"The peanut is delicacy relished by
all creatures" said New York animal
lover. 81 have come to this conclusion
after having offered it to every animal
in the Central Park zoo, and having it
refused by none.
"Oh, know it isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers of
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel-or of
any other creature, for that matter,
and l never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
tribute.
Yes, the camel is fond of them
very; and so are the peacocks. The
hippopotamus obligingly opens his
mouth to let me toss one in, cut the
mouth is so large and the peanut so
small that doubt If he can quite de-
eide whether he likes it or not.
THE kangaroo pokes his funny
horse-lilie head out to me, munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer. ostrich, and
even the lion, are all lovers of the pea
nut"

APPAREL AND THE MAN.
Truth That Shakespeare Knew Where
~ He Spoke Is Seen Every Day
in Business World.

Among the most valuable assets the
worker in almost any field can have
are the razor, the shoe brush and the
tooth powder. These are possessions
within the reach Of anyone. To have
them and use them is powerful help
toward success. To neglect them is
one of the surest means of meeting
failure.
There is no man, no matter how
careless he may be of his own per-
sonal appearance, that would not
rather talk business to a man who
is cleanly shaven, whose shoes are
shined, whose teeth are white, and
whose linen is in good condition,
than to man who is careless about
his appearance. Employers know that
the careful salesman usually sells the
most goods. They know, too, that
Shakespeare was right when he said
that the apparel doth oft proclaim the
man. They reason that unless a man
has respect for himself he does not
much mind whether others have re-
spect for him or not And a man who
cannot inspire respect in those with
whom he does business is not half so
valuable as the man who can.
First impressions often are the
strongest impressions. A we'll
groomed man wins his way where the
shabbily clad man is refused a hear
ing. Most big business concerns in
sist either indirectly or by printed
rule upon attention to the little de-
tails that go to make up mans gen.
eral appearance.
Cleanliness is not only next to god
liness, but it also is next to success.
Any man who has been in business
for any length of time can point out
fellow workers who would have sue
ceeded better had they paid more at
tention to their appearance. They
don't have to be dudes" to make
good, but even at that dudes" have
made good where tramps have failed.
If it is necessary to make a choice,
better be a dude" than a tramp
The latter may get more shiftless sat
isfaction out of himself. but the for
mer gives more satisfaction to others,
and it is largely the others who make
or break man in business.
Gilpin observer., 1906-07-12
Sensible Military Changes.

The French army has just given up
the drum. That was sacrifice from
the standpoint of sentiment, but what
really good purpose did it serve? 1t is
an awkward thing to transport and
easily broken. 1t does not produce
music and soldiers can keep step with
out its assistance. 1t is only within the
lat few years that the suicidal foolish
ness Of wearing bright uniforms in ac-
tual warfare was recognized. The folly
of this was borne in upon England dur
ing the Boer war. The men of the
Trausvaal were fine long-distance
marksmen and they put many of the
most lordly mansions of Britain in
mourning. There remains still another
useless military incumbrance = the
officers sword. 1t interferes with his
movements and is no longer of use in
fighting.-Cleveland Leader.
