BAKING POWDER AGAIN.
Alum Goods That Masquerade as High
Glass" Powders
Retailers Journal, Chicago.

In previous analyses we have shown
that the 25cent alum baking powders
are an imposition, both on the consumer
and the retailer, as the difference in cost
of manufacture of l0-cent alum baking
powder and 25-cent one is not more
than one cent a pound.
There is the Calumet baking powder
an alum powder with about one cents
@orth of phosphate added to it, and
which retails for % cents. 1t is not
worth more than 10 or IL cents, which
we showed by analysis. In order to sell
this powder at all they are now prepar-
ing premium scheme and are going to
give away hairpins and other cheap
trash that may be attractive to the eve
and coyor up their transactions. They
can well afford to give Is cents worth oil
goods with every pound of baking pow.
der they sell.
If alum baking powder is used at all
10 cents is reasonable price, as alum
costs only two cents pound, which
leaves the manufacturer fair profit
While we know that cream of tartar bak.
ing powders are sold at higher prices
than others, we also know that chem.
ically pure cream of tartar used in the
highest grade powder costs at least
twelve times more than alum.

Custer County Iretttrite.

The Custer County Normal Institute
will convene at Custer, June 25th. Mr..
A. I. Hesnard, principal ofthe Sagnache
county, (Colorado) High School is to
conduct this session, while Rev. P. Mon
roe Smock, of Hot Springs, and Mr..
William B. Mooney of Spearfsh, have
been engaged as instructors
Mr.. Smock will give lecture during
the session, and this will undoubtedly
be genuine treat, as he is considered
throughout Iowa most brilliant and
forceful orator. He is to conduct the in
stitute at Hot Springs this year, and this
at the request of the entire body of Fall
River Co. teachers, moved by their appre-
citation of his work as instructor the
previous year And it is owing only to
the fact that the Black Hills has a re-
markably healthful climate, that we are
enabled to secure Mr.. Smocks help in
our institute, for it was solely on this
account that he refused an urgent call
from the congregation of his church in
Brooklyn, at a salary double that which
was paid him before he left for the Hills.
This refusal was great disappointment
to the congregation, but it is our decided
gain. Ii is to be hoped that all the
teachers and school patrons of Custer
and the surrounding country may be
able to hear his lecture, for it will, with
out doubt, be Source of pure intellec-
tual enjoyment to all.
Our other instructor, Mr.. Mooney, is
accounted by the pupils of Speartish, the
most popular teacher at the Normal.
He will give us as special feature of
the institute, lectures ON the Principles
of Education.
Our conductor, Mr.. Hesnard, comes to
us as an old friend, of whose sympathy
and help we feel assured, and he could
receive none other than glad welcome
from all, especially the teachers and pu-
pills of the county The fact that he is
to conduct the institute gives assurance
beforehand of It's success.
The session is to last five days, and we
shall all be greatly pleased if the atten-
dance proves to be as good as was that
of last year For this we must depend
on the good will of teachers and patrons
which we have faith to believe will not
fail us.

The American Mining Congress-.

The American Mining Congress met
in Denver last week and was we'll at.
tended by representatives of all the
mining camps of the United States Con-
siderable important business pertaining
TO mining was transacted and many use
!, ful improvements discussed. Among
these improvements was the desirablity
and Importance of a mining department
in the government of the United States.
As it is, the mining fraternity feel
agrieved at the apathy shown by the
government in mining matters, and con-
siderng its importance it is inconsistent
and nexcusable. We have Secretary
of War, Secretary ofthe Navy, Secretary
of the Interior, Secretary of the State
and a Secretary of Agriculture and these
are kept busy looking after the interests
Of the different departments. But min
ing with all its varied industry, upon
which the wealth and comfort of our
civilization depends is almost entirely
ignored and left TO shift for itself. To
say the least of it, it is an evidence ofin-
competence somewhere, and shamef
neglect.

Died.

Birdie McAdams, daughter of Mr., and
Mrs. Robert McAdams, living near Prin-
gle, S. D., died at the home of her par.
ents May 26th, 1906.
She was born in Trego county, Kansas,
November 30th, 1880, and passed away
a week ago last Saturday morning at s
O'Clock. The deceased leaves father
and mother, six brothers and three sis
ters to mourn her sudden and untimely
demise.
| The bereaved family and the COM
munity of Pringe were greatly shocked
by the sudden and unexpected depart
ure to the realm Of souls, of her who
arose in the morning apparently in per
feet health and in one brief hour was
found by her brother while attending to
her customary duties in the milk house
dead. The forces of nature operate un-
ceasingly and there is cause for every
effect, although we in our ignorance caa
! not desern the cause. And it is perhaps
best that it is so, else would we be con-
tinuaIly in worry and cast down in
spirit with a constant forebodeing of
coming calamity. Truly the wisest of
poets has said, blindness to the future
is kindly given"
The lamb thy riot condemns 20 bleed today,
had he thy reason would he triSk and play,
Pleased to the last he crops the floWery food,
Ana llcks the hand that's raised TO shed his
blood.
We weep and mourn and it is natural
that 1t should be so when our loved ones
depart, for they have passed from our
sight to be seen no more on earth and
we miss them so it seems as flour hearts
would break. But let not your hearts
be troubled to intensely for nature has
her divine compensation and all things
that are taken from us, nature will again
restore in time, just in proportion as we
are in condition to receive those blessings
aud are found worthy of them.
We join with the community in ex-
tending to the bereaved parents and
brothers and sisters our sympathy in
this, their hour of trial, and could they
believe as the writer believes they would
be comforted They would rest with
perfect confidence in the conviction that
Birdie is not dead, but clothed in more
refined and superior body, she is free to
come and go and to minge with the
members of the household as of yore.
Free to think, to feel, to see, to stand by
your side, to kiss your cheek though all
unseen by you, to grieye when you
grieve and rejoice when you rejoice.
The family is still unbroken.

Fix the Roads.

The time has arrived when it becomes
| our duty to call attention to the roads
and bridges in our county. The recent
heavy rains have played havoc with our
roads in many places making them in
some localities almost impossible. Only
those who are compelled to haul heavy
| loads over bad roads can fully appreciate
the benefit of fairly good and passable
| road. Our town people do not seem to
| fully realize what it means in the way
| of trade and traffic to have the roads
| leading to the town in good condition.
A farmer living between two towns
would rather travel ten miles to town
over a good road than to pull load five
miles over a road that is made danger
| ous by gullies and rocks. OF course in a
country like this we do not know the
| meaning of the words good roads" as it
is understood in old and densey popu-
| lated countries.
In conversation with Mr.. Ole Rodts,
who followed the avocation of ffreighting
in the old country before he came to
America, he informs us that an ordinary
load with good pair of horses over the
rock roads in Belgium is $4,000 pounds.
Our teamsters do not ordinarily haul
over one fifth of that, and all owing to
the difference in the condition of the
road bed We are aware that it costs
something to keep up the roads in this
country and in case of neglected roads
the fault is not always with the road
supervisor who is often hampered by
lack of funds. Our county dads should
look to it that the road fund is ade
quate.
