Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making the
three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz:-Q) Min
eral-Acid or Alum, ~ Bone-Acid Phos-
plate, and (3) Cream of Tartar made from
grapes. 1t is important, from the stand
point of health, to know something
about these ingredients, and which kind
is used in your baking powder.
Q) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind Of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitrol and from this solu-
ton product is obtained which is alum.
Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a
pound and baking powder made with
this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to Csc
pound.
~ Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powder and
the process is fully described in the
patents issued to large manufacturer
OF phosphate powder. The U. S. Pat
ent Office Report gives full and exact
description, but the following extract
is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of vitrol
and with continual stirring and in the
following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate baking
powders are made; such powders sell
from 20 to 30 cent pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the Juice from
the manufacture of wine. After the
wine is drawn off the tartar is scraped
from the cask, boiled with water, and
crystals of Cream of Tartar white and
very pure, separate and are collected
1t differs in no respect from the form in
which it originally existed in the grape
Cream of Tartar, then, while the most
expensive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder to
act upon the soda, as it's wholesomeness
is beyond question. Cream of Tartar
baking powders sell at about 40 to sc
cents pound.
Such are the facts, and every one
careful of the health Of the family
should remember this rule:-Bakine
powders selling from 10 to % cents 8
pound are made of Mineral-Acds; those
selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bone
Acid; and those from 40 to so cents OF
Cream of Tartar made from grapes.

accident one day last week. Mr.. Thomas
was at work about his lot with horse
and wagon, when, in turning around,
some part of the wagon broke throwing

are not of a permanent nature.-Lamoni

One of our citizens who occasionally
wipes the dishes for his wife, became
tired of the job and refused, saying
that"it is not mans work. Not feeling
disposed to loose his help she brought
out the Bible to convince him of his
error and read as follows from II Kings
21:13: "And will wipe Jerusalem as a

DEATH CAUSES ADJOURNMENT.
Action Of Central Labor Union in
Tribute to Milford Spohn.

There was little business transacted at the
meeting of the Central Labor Union last
evening on account of the fact that the
death of Milford Spohn, member of the
bricklayers' union and one Of the founders
Of the organization, was announced. The
death of Mr.. Spohn occurred shortly after
10 o'clock AS soon as Delegate Feeney
made the announcement the members at
once insisted that no more business be
transacted, but that the union adjourn inn
mediately in respect to the deceased.
Delegates John B. Dickman and Roberts
of Typographical Union delivered short adj
dresses, during which they referred to the
work that Mr.. Spohn had done in the in
terests Of the Central Labor Union during
the time it had been in existence.
President Adams then appointed Dele
gates Sprague. Dickman, Beaumont, Win
slow and Manning to attend the funeral
and to procure a floral offering.
Previous to the announcement of Delegate
Spohn's death, H. ]. Conway Of Chicago, in
ternational president Of the Retail Clerks
Association, delivered an address on the
work that is going in the ranks of his
association in the interest of union labor. .
Delegate Roberts also told Of efforts to
find union clothing in many OF the stores OF
Washington, during which he declared that
the members of the Central Labor Union
should have more unionism and less poll
tics within their ranks. In this way, he
said, they would have more time to look for
the label goods

The United States Of America, by ,Attorz

az trustee Of the estate of Alice S. Hill and
Alfred E T. Hansman, to recover possession
Of lots 20 and II Of Fox's Discovery. The
property is said to be part of the old
Boundary street as originally laid out and
lies south Of the Meridian Hill subdivision
The government claims that in the orig
inal division between the owners and the
Commissioners when Washington was laid
out, the land in controversy was decided to
the Commissioners for street purposes As
the title to all streets in the city is in the
United States, 1t is commended that the de-
PENDANTS should be elected from this parcel
Of land, which is needed to straighten Flor
ida avenue.
The alleged title of the defendants comes
through Robert G. Fox who fifty years or
more ago took possession of the strip in
volved and subsequently applied for grant,
which was refused. The defendants. 1t is
understood, claim that the strip was not
included in the original grant and that even
II the title did pass. the failure to use the
land as a street has forfeited the right of
the government to possession.

GOVERNING EXPRESS WAGONS.
Maj. Sylvester Asks That Police Regu
lations be Amended,

In order that express wagons may be
governed by the same rules as are hacks
and other public vehicles, Major Sylvester
chief Of police, has asked the Commits
sloners to make amendment to the
police regulations. case was recently
tried in the Police Court in which the
defendant was an express wagon driver
who was charged with leaving his wagon,
which was standing at the curb in front
OF the Pennsylvania station and soliciting
business on the other side of the street.
He argued that the regulations did not
apply to drivers of express wagons, and
that he had right to leave his wagon
and tboom business which argument was
upheld by the court. and he was dis
charged IS ),
1t was on account of this case and
numerous similar ones which have come to
the attention Of the police that Major
Sylvester suggested the amendment to
the regulations If the regulations are
amended in this respect drivers of ex-
press wagons will be compelled by law to
remain within five feet Of their vehicles
when standing in front Of the stations.

whose business is mems made-to measure

don't like to shop like women do-that is,
go into their favorite store and ask for
samples of this, that and the other ma
terial. They've another way-they write"
says Mr.. Green. why, we receive hum
dreds of letters every week from men in all
walks of life, requesting us to mail them
samples of our new sultings and overcoat-
ings, and we gladly respond.
The writing for samples idea is not
new, but we don't think any store goes into
it as extensively as Newcorn & Green's.

WITHOUT A POLICEMAN.
Officer Who Assisted Poundmaste1
Transferred to Street Duty.

Omcer Who Assisted Poundmaster
Transferred to Street Duty.
The uniformed member of the police force
who for several months has been accom-
panying Poundmaster Einstein on his
''round up" Of tagless dogs is to be re-
lieved of that duty and put back on his reg
ular work. NAL Sylvester, who is always
in need Of more patrolmen, requested that
this change be made and the health off,
Ger, who supervlses the pound, is satisfied
that Mr.. Einstein can get along without
the policeman.
Mr.. Einstein, however, looks at it differ
emily. He says he would like to have the
policeman continue as his aid-de-camp, con-
tending that policeman in full uniform,
with his big badge glittering In the sun
light, is Of material value to him in collect
ing dogs from owners who show signs of
dispfeasure and resistance. =
IF the presence Of an officer in uniform
said Maj. Sylvester, 'is of value to the
poundnaster would suggest that one. of
his subordinates be commissioned as spe-
cfai policeman, and be dressed In a police
mans uniform. with a view OF adding pro-
lection to this dog-catching interest
Health OFFICER Woodward, in reporting
upon this request, took particular excep-
ton to the suggestion to have one OF Mr..
Ednstein's subordinates attired in police
mans clothes. He stated that it is hardly
to be presumed that Congress ever in
tended or expected that laborer in the
pound service receiving $40 month (and
the poundmaster has no other "subordi-
nates'D should be required to provide him
self with uniforms and to keep such clothes
clean, neat and in good repair notwith-
standing the work he is called upon to per-
form. He is also OF the opinion that Con-
gress did not intend or expect $40 month
to be sufficient to procure men who are
willing and able not only to- perform their
duties as laborers in the pound service,
but also to discharge the duties Of police
men.
DR.. Woodward is Of the opinion that an
appropriation should be asked for with
which to hire helper for the pound
master, and that he could be dressed up
like policeman and in that way reduce
the friction which is likely to occur be-
tween the public and the dogcatchers when
the formers pets are being dragged into
the net
