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 well estaD'
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. Inc
words Chemically Pure erroneously
used to designate Cream OF Tartar
from Alum baking powder Is a mis-
nomer. Baking Powder made OF pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. Ihese
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 or
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; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
chcaper

Atmospheric Poisoning.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world, and his condemna-
tion of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and, worst OF ALL
the asphyNiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that sci
ence can improve motors, he declares
that it is impossible for it to burn Pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuous.

CANS is WINNER.
Defeats Battling Nelson in Forty-Two-
Round Contest

Goldfeld. Nev.-Battling Nelson de
liberately fouled Joe Cans in the for
ty-second round of the best and long
est fight seen in many years. Both
men were tired when the fight ended
but Cans was apparently the stronger.
He was away ahead on points and had
smashed and cut Nelson all through
the fight without being badly hurt him
self.
Shortly after the forty-second
commenced the men were in their
usual clinch. Nelson had his head on
Cans shoulder and his arm down. Sew
eral times he hit Cans below the belt,
apparently feeling for vital spot. AT
last he drew back his right arm and hit
Cans a vicious blow square in the
groin. The colored boy sank to his
knees and rolled over on his back Ref
cree George Siler without hesitation
ordered Nelson to his corner and
awarded the fight to Cans on foul.
Siler's decision received almost
unanimous approval. The foul was so
obvious that not even men who had
bet on Nelson could say that it had
not been committed. All through the
content Nelson had employed rough
tactics. He repeatedly butted Cans and
had to have his head hauled away by
the referee.
Referee Siler stated to the Associ
ated Press that while he would not say
that the foul was intentional there was
no doubt but that it had been commit
ted. Nelson, said Siler, had used his
usual tactics all through the fight, and
while he knew that Nelson was butting
whenever he had an opportunity, he
did not disqualify the Dane for that
because he saw it was not hurting
Cans, and as no other referee had ever
disqualified Nelson for doing the same
thing he did not feel like doing it. Be-
sides, the referee said, he realized that
the people were there to see the fight
and he did not want to disappoint them
Siler was loudly cheered as he left
the ring, as was Cans, who was car
ried to his dressing room. Nelson and
his seconds were hissed as they de-
parted. Billy Nolan. Nelson's manager,
made a disconnected statement in
which he said that Cans had promised
not to claim the decision on foul, yet
jumped at the very first opportunity to
make such a claim. All Nelson would
say was that Cans was tired and quit.
Cans, in many ways, put up a most
remarkable battle OF course, his skill
as boxer was expected to be shown,
but his endurance surprised every one.
His work was the more wonderful
when 1t is known that in the thirty
third round he broke his right hand.
Never after that did he strike blow
with 1t, with the exception of n few
short-arm jclts while clinching He did
all his work with his left hand, and
put 1t all over Nelson.

right Arbitration as a substitute for
war may be a long way ahead of us
but the agitation of the question Will
do good. says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. 1t is well for the great
nations occasionally to cry out peace
peace, even if there is no peace. Tie
peicemakers have not brought Ten
nyson's parliament of man and fede-
ration of the world. but they are di-
minishing some of the horrors of war,
and they are likely to make war less
frequent. Peace conferences at Rio.
The Hague and other places ought to
be encouraged. The United States,
which has taken the lead among the ma
tions in peacemaliing of a practical
sort, always stands ready to give aid
and comfort to the cause of interna
tional amity.

Fresh Hope of Cancer Cure.


again the hope of curing cancer
looms large-only as Frightening hope
in the report of the British imperial
cancer research fund. The brighten
ing is this, that 1t has been found pos
sible to prevent the development OF
cancer in animals by inoculation with
a kind of serum. A mouse was thus
protected, and injections from its
body into other field mice retarded the
growth of cancer artiflcially induced.
This is different it will be noted,
from cure. To avert smallpox by
vaccination is very different from
curing smallpox. Still the hope is ex-
pressed that this discovery may be
a step toward the great one of cure
for this hitherto incurable disease In
the current number of McClure's Mag
azine. DR.. Saleeby, of Edinburgh uni
versity, gives an account of expert
ments by Prof. Beard, of the same
university, in the use of the ferment
known as trypsin. which seems to
prove that the active agent of the pan
creas will destroy the malignant can
Ger cells and bring about an abso-
Lutte cure. Briefly, according to DR..
Boards theory, cancer develops
from cells remaining in the body
from an asexual stage of the en-
bryo; cells which should have been
degenerated and absorbed or digest
ed by the fluids of the pancreas, an
organ which develops just after the
asexual stage. These are really germ
cells that might have developed into
another organism. and. therefore,
death by cancer is fratricide-one
germ-cell killing the organism that
has developed from its brother. The
treatment is tentative, but expert
ments on human beings show appar-
emily satisfactory results in prevent
ing the recurrence of cancer after op-
Grafton. Statistics show that this dis
ease is increasing both in this conu-
try and in Europe, and If its cure is
not in sight it is hoped that there is
here the development of preventive
inoculation which may be effectively
applied as needed.

SETTLING ARID LANDS.
Great Rush for Farms in Eastern Colo
orado

Denver.-That the unsettled land in
Colorado is being rapidly populated is
demonstrated by the report of the Gen
eral Land Office of this district for
August. The records show the largest
number of filings in any one month for
ten years.
The showing made in Adams. Arapa.
hoe and Morgan counties is unprece,
dented. The land in these sections
has heretofore remained useless on ac-
count of the dryness and lack of wa
ter so the number of the entries
within the last month indicates how
fast the unsettled portions of the state
are being occupied by dry farmers.
During the month 47,l00 acres were
taken up in these counties. OF these
5000 acres were desert land involv-
ing eighty entries. To- homestead
entries numbered 1875. According to C.
l.. Dickson of the Hugo Land Office,
who visited Register Ford Saturday
the Hugo office also had a rush of busi-
ness last month. Up to a week ago 1870
homestead entries and thirteen desert
entries were filed in the Hugo destrict
which includes Kit Carson, Cheyenne
and Lincoln counties. The desert
claims, he said. We're all filed one after
noon by Cripple Creek people who
were interested in an irrigation pro
iect.
