THE PEN SELF-SUSTAINlNG.
The Iron Industry at Rusk and the
Clemens Sugar Plantation Success.


Austin, Tex, Aug. 31.-The state
penltentlary system enters the new
fiscal year on a self-sustaining basis.
This Is the cheerful Information CON
tanned in letter which Governor
Lanham yesterday received from SUI
perintendent Searcy Baker. Mr. Bak-
err has advised Controller John H.
Stephens that lie will ask for no APP
preparation at the hands of the next
Legislature. In his letter to Governor
Lanham, Mr., Baker further says that
no appropriation will probably be re-
qulred for the next two or three years
1t Is considered doubtful If there is
another state in the Union which has
a self-sustalning penitentary system
This desired result which has Just been
reached in Texas is due largely to the
allie management of penitentiary Off
GERS under the present prison officials,
including the capable board of peni-
Tertiary commissioners.
The success of the iron industry has
been an important factor in placing
the finances of the system upon a pie
thoric basis. The industry, which was
started as an experiment, has devel-
oDed into a practical and big revenue
producing business. superintendent
Baker and Financial Agent John j..
| Workman have given the new industry
their closest attention, and by the
adoption of advanced methods of smelt-
ing the ore and in conducting the in
dustry generally 1t has reached point
where it is one of the most important
| adjuncts of the convict system. 1t af-
fords employment to many men who
| are confined within the walls of the
penitentiary and makes them a source
| of profit to the state instead of a
charge as they have been heretofore.
The large sugar plantations which
are operated by convicts are also big
sources of revenue for the system.
The plantation features of the peniten-
tiary industries saw Its most important
enlargement during the administration
of Governor Sayers when the William
| Clemens plantation was acquired on
behalf Of the state. This plantation
and the Harlem farm have been
brought up to the highest standard OF
productlveness during the present ad
ministration. The prospects for an
ether enormous cane crop this year are
very bright

Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking

1t is remarkable what suffering

A Mich. woman says 81 had been

and from it I have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
my trouble first began in the form
of bilious collie, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. AT
every attack for 8 years l suffered in
this way. l used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. l had
also attacks of sick headache, and be.
gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
For about a year I lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering, I
finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. 1t agreed with
my stomach, my troubles have left
me and I am fast gaining my health
under Its use.

'FRIsco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York In visor
and Freshness Of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says Il. S. Martin in Appleton's
Magazine. There is also a measure of
hospitality shown to writer's 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 its imagination, new coun-
Try behind and about it and an adj
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 its ENJOYS to view the world land
good many of them have stayed
away, and because it has been one
of the worlds great starting places
and landing places 1t has viewed ha-
bitually from its own doorstep pretty
much every kind of human creature
that has been worth looking at.
Altogether, San Francisco has been
like no other city of our republic.

All chemlcallx Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum lit 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 a 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 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
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping 1t 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.

North Dakota Solves the Adulteration
Prcblen,.

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 1t 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 ono can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But II they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it. for none but
the genuine article can bear a labe,
which says pure white Lead
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little = sometimes no - real
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
err, 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.
