NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps in Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in
everything that goes on in The world
is well known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas Of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that OF the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperor's perusal
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too. the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream Of
Tartar Is less injurious. Dr. Herman
ReinboId, the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders. declares that a pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream Of
Tartar powders. He says that il the
quantity of alum contained in a suf-
fcient quantity of baking powder for
batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthfui of food. and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

A well-known authority, when asked

that the ingredients are all harmless,

from any good prescription pharmacy,
Or the mixture would be put up If
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-

RAILROADS MUST BORROW
President Finley of Southern Railway
Says Credit should Not
BE Attacked.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 23.-In the course
of his speech at a reception given in his
honor by the Merchants exchange here
today, President w. W. Finley Of the
Southern Railway company declared that
the results accomplished for the good OF
the country by the railroads in extending
their lines into unoccupied territory and.
seeking new resources to be developed in
territory already occupied, would have been
impossible had they been hampered and
restricted by a spirit OF popular and legis-
lative antagonism and by repressive and
restrictive laws. The common carriers are
not opposed to legislative regulation within
proper limitations he said, but there is
point beyond which legislation ceases to
be regulativP and becomes destructive.
Laws for the regulation of railroads, in
order to be just and equitable, must af-
ford full protection for the roads, as well
as for the public.
He referred to the systematic efforts Of
the system Of which he is the head to ad-
vance the development Of every locality in
the section traversed by it.
1T is constantly working" declared Mr..
Finley, ito develop new resources in the
southern field and to bring men seeking
to better their condition into touch with
bOuNneIn opportunities II ASKS from lue
southern people only the support OF public
opinion and from southern legislatures only
such wise and economically sound conser-
vatism as has been displayed by the legis-
lature of Tennessee.
IF the railways of the south are to con-
tinue to be the most efficient means for its
advancement they must extend their faclli-
ties. The money for this must be bor-
rowed, and borrowing power rests on abil-
ity to show to investors in every security
that the income is sufficient TO protect their
investments, and that future income is not
endangered by adverse legislation. Capital
is proverbially timid and always flows with
the greatest freedom into those enterprises
and into those localities where II is safest
The best advertisement that any state can
have is the widespread knowledge OF the
fact that its lawmakers can be depended
upon to give every proper protection to
property and not to. embark upon policies
that would endanger Investments"
