All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago. about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious. no longer prevails. or
scarcely exists. 1t is 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, 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" erroneously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is mis-
nomer. 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 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.

QUEER FAMILY NAMES
"cHUMPs," logs" AND "cU6-
BUNS" IN OLD KENTUCKY.
Odd coenomens of the "ouarter"
Heirs - Remarkable Collection
Gathered Within a Radius
of 20 Miles of Ford.

Ford, Ky.-It is doubtful II any 9TH
er county in this state or in any other
state can show such a remarkable col
lection of given names and surnames
as are to be found within radius of
20 miles from this town. We have
Able Chump, Little Chump, Chumppy
Chump and Skittles Chump. To this
must be added the family of Chicken,
with the eldest son christened Old
Chicken and the youngest daughter
Pullet Chicken. Then there is the Og
family, with Barabbas Og at the head
of it. One of his boys is named John
l.. Sullivan Og, and the youngest girl
in the bunch is Snippy Og.
But that is not a circumstance to
the way Philias Quarter has named
his children. He seemed to take de-
light in the oddity of his own name
and to perpetuate 1t In the christening
OF his four boys. The first one, born
about 19 years ago, is well known
throughout the county as First Quar-
ter. The next heir is Second Quarter
The third is called NO Quarter, the
fourth Bad Quarter.
The mother never had any say in
the selection of the names of her chill
dren. Old Philias decided on what he
intended to call them the day after
they were born, and what he said had
to be accepted in the Quarter house
hold. Not one of these sons has ever
been 20 miles away from home. No
member of the family is able to read
or write and they have no conception
Of the outside world.
About seven miles from the Phidias
Quarter farm lives the Bennett family,
whose hired man is named Angel Cub
bum. He Is proud of his name and
boasts that his brothers and sisters,
who live in the same county, are just
as oddly named as he. One sister is
Sizzley Cubbum, another Homino. a
brother Calico and the youngest In the
outfit Measles Cubbum.

Had Only One Lung a. Birth.

New York.-Physicians are making
an examination of the body of man
who was born and lived 40 years with
only one lung. This is the second
similar case on record. The man, un-
known, died in Bellevue hospital. His
only lung was about one-half larger
than the normal lobe. The lung had
crowded the heart to such an extent
that the latter organ had been moved
three inches out of place. There was
only cavity where the left lung
sho II have been.

TAKES RELIGION FROM SCHOOLS.
British Court Decides People Need
Not Pay for This instruction.

London.-A decision given by the
court of appeals leaves the question
of religious education in Great Brit
ain in peculiar position. The educa-
ton act of 1902 was intended to
compel local authorities to pay for
religious instruction in the voluntary
schools, and led to the notorious
passive resistance movement under
which numbers of nonconformists re-
fused to pay the rates levied to cover
this expenditure for church schools.
In the meantime the county council
of the west riding of Yorkshire re-
fused to pay teachers for the time
devoted by them TO religious instruc-
ton. The board of education then
sought the assistance of the courts in
the matter. with the result that the
court of appeals decided in favor of
the Yorkshire council.
II this decision should be upheld
by the house of lords, whittier the
case now will be carried, 1t will prac-
tically accomplish by stroke what
the bill now in parliament of August
inc Birrell. president of the board of
education, aims at. and, furthermore.
1t possibly may enable a large num-
Der of passive resisters" to bring ac-
ton for false Imprisonment.
The entire trouble appears to be
due to the careless drafting of the
bill in 1902

No Seeds in These Apples.

West Chester, Pa.-Howard Garrett,
of Willistown township, claims to have
solved the question of how to grow
seedless apples, and has two trees in
his orchard which are bearing such
fruit. and have been for several. sea-
sons. Just how 1t is done he will not
explain; but he has the fruit. The
apples have core like any other va
riety. but there is not seed in them.

Serious damage to the magnificent

REBATE PAPERS ARE BURNED
Documents GO Up in Flames with Two

The town of Greeley Center is all worked

there of rebate checks and correspondence
Thursday night Thursday night two old
boxcars were detached from the regular
freight train of the Burlington, and after
being coupled to another engine, were taken
to Belfast Crossing, eight miles north Of
Greeley Center. They were accompanied
north by two section men and two stran-
gers supposed to be-from Omaha. At the
siding the cars were uncouped from the
engine, which was run back to Greeley,
and the cars opened and after being
sprinkled with two barrelssgof kerosene
were set on fire. The cars contained bar
rels and old bags Of papers and caused
quite a blaze.
The men who had accompanied the cars
stayed with the cars until the last vestige
was burned and then returned to Greeley,
farmer boy in viewing the ruins in the
morning found a paper which pertained to
some rebate matters and from this the
people of Greeley are of the opinion that
the Burlington purposey burned the cars
with the records TO conceal some matters
Of rebates which have been declared illegal

When asked at the Burlington headquar-
ters in this city If anything was known Of
the. matter the oflcials professed to know

was supposed the cars of papers had come

matter They say, however. they are ac-
customed to clean out old papers from the
basement every few years and these might
