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 we'll 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 it's function during process of baking, leaving no atom of injurious residuous substance. The words "Chemically Pure" erronepVsly used to designate Cream of NTtar 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. Ey- 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.

An Insane Woman's Deed.

A double, perhaps a quadruPle, tragedy, occurred recently in Clay county Mrs. Nellie Polsgrove killed her husband, Frank, and her 4-year-old daughter. then set fire to the house, and their bodies were incinerated, on- ly dust and few charred bones re- maining. In addition she attacked her two older children, Hubbard, a boy, aged 13 and LeXie, girl ot 1O. Both vii probably die. She apparent ly used an axe on her victims, judging from the character of the wounds on the two found alive. It is supposed that the woman killed her husband and baby as they lay asleep, and that the other children, awakened by the noise, ran out of the house and were overtaken and struck down where they were found. Sudden homicidal mania is the only explanation of the affair. Mrs. Polsgrove has shown signs of insanity for several years, but was not regarded as dangerous. She has been placed in confinement.

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
This Is the Advice of an Ola Cutler
TO Those Who Have Their
Own Razors.

THE Old English Cutler arrived
IA New York the other day after an
absence of nine years, in which time
he has walked 10000 miles between
the Pacific and Atlantic, honing ra-
sors and grinding scissors.
Whenever | homes a razor" said
he, II always give some advice with
It, free gratis. and takes great sat
lsfaction in knowing that l have
made shaving easier and more com
Portable for more than 10000 men.
Most every barber will tell you how
to strop a razor, but 1t takes a cutler
10 tell you how to care for your strop,
and how to get the best work out OF
your blade.
"A swing strop, canvas on one side
and horse hide on the other, Is the
best. Always hold it taut. and draw
the razor lightly but swiftly from
heel to point. II you let the strop
sag, you will put a round edge on
the blade. Don't forget to cover your
strop, or put II away in drawer.
after using, II II hangs in a bathroom,
near a window. The dust and CRIME
gets into 1t, and soon takes the edge
from your razor. Whether you keep
the strop covered or whether you
don't rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free 1t from dust.
But what I consider my most valu-
able advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the
came time improve the cutting quail
ty OF the razor's edge. Nine men
out Of ten shave themselves In a
room where there is running hot wa
ter. Now, the way to get a most
gratifying result is this: Lather
thickly and well and let 1t remain on
the face half a minute before you be-
gin to shave. II you have time, wash
II Off, for with It will come the grit
and dirt that you have loosened up
In the pores of the skin, and then APP
ply a second coat. II will be as soft,
smooth and clean as new velvet.
Now turn on the hot-water faucet
and let 1t run. Hold the razor under
the stream until II is heated. Then
take slanting or diagonal stroke.
like farmer does with n scvthe. not
q square pull, and you will be amazed
to find how beautifully and easily the
hot blade cuts the beard.
when It is filled with lather hold
1t under the running hot water. in
stead Of using shaving paper That
will wash Off the lather and. at the
same time, heat the blade again.
Don't be afraid of taking out the tenn
per. That would be impossible II you
nut the razor in kettle and boiled
IT, Try The hot blade and you'll
never shave with the cold steel

GRAND OLD NAME !"
GEORGE" A PATEoNYMIC HON.

Mr.. AIDE, Successful Author and HUI

Why This Should Re So
Historical Facts"

To the anniversary number of his

George AIDE contributes some ieiec-
lions on the name George, the sum Of
his argument Icing that it's a grand
old name for actor, author, manager
or agent.
Haze you ever figured out why peo-
pie VINO wish to be emphatic say, by
George?" To swear by the Deity would
be profane. To swear by Oscar or
Herbert or Randolph would mean
nothing. George" has been adopted
as the most important and awe-inspir-
ing name that can be borrowed from
the ordinary human list.
From the original st. George, patron
saint OF England, who is shown in his
favorite Autograph to be fighting the
syndicate, down to George Wilkes, the
great trotting stallion, the name OF
George" has always been the trade
mark OF live one. Every good Pull
man porter IS named George. II, when
alightirg at a one-night stand, you
insist upon being hauled by George"
you will invariably get an upholstered
hack. with the blanket neatly folded,
and not as much hay as you might
expect.
George Ill. would have won If he
had not given away so much weight in
meeting the other George, adopted
stepfather of George Washington, Jr.
George is from the Greek, meaning
"husbandman" or farmer" MY par
