'FRlsco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York In Vigor
and Freshness of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says E. 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 it's inspirations.
It has had an ocean of it's own to
stimulate it's Imagination, a new coun-
try behind and about it and an ad-
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live its own life in it's
own way and dream and live it's own
ror1ances.
It has had money, too. It has sent
out it's ENJOYS to view the world (and
good many of them have stayed
away, and because it has been one
of the worlds great starting places
and landing places it 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.

also attacks of sick headache, and be-

was the cause OF all this suffering,

This has been Waddells poorest

Cleveland pulled off a triple play

That made three for the two big

All Chemically Pure.


The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. It 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 residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, Oh
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing it's 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 pura
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 ilnply 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 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
cheaper.

NAth Dakota Solves the Adulteration
Problem,

NAth Dakota Solves the Adulteration
Problem.
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 it 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, il any one wishes
to buy a mixture Of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so.called "white leads" no one can
object: for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no-real
