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 1t is a we'll
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DIR. Herman
Reinbold, 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-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
a batch Of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful Of food, and taken into the
stomach of any n person, no matter
how delicate, 1t could do no harm.

LAYING A CEMENT WALK.
How the Farmer Can Do the Work fol
Himself.

Farmers requiring walks about theii
homes will find nothing so practical
as cement walks-hygienic, because
non,absorbent; beautiful, because uni
form and artistic in finish; durable,
because harder than stone; and at the
same time cheaper than sawed stone
or any other good sidewalk material.
In many cities ordinances require that
In the better quarters nothing but ce
ment walks can be laid.
What has been found true in the
city will prove equally true in the
country. Like everything else, the
quality of the walk will depend large
ly on the skill used in the selection
Of materials and laying the walk.
The farmer who can find sand and
gravel near, which he can often gel
for the hauling, and who could do his
W work at some not W busy time,
would be at no money outlay for the
walk but the cost of cement, which
would not exceed 21a cents per square
foot of a f~irst-class four-inch thick
walk, as one barrel of Portland cement

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu.
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive rem

ache or kidney or bladder derange-

ton, If taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, n ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in t~easpoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A ~well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up II
asked to do SO. He further stated that
while this prescription Is often pre-.
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou'
bles and backache, as it has a peculiar
action upon the kidney structure

AT BUXTON IOWA

Those senators who despair of a
solution of the race question ought
to go Buxton, says writer In the
Independent. Buxton is a coal
mining camp in Iowa. Its popu-
tion is about 5000, SO per cent
beingblack and per cent white.
The Negroes were brought in
from the South originally to break
a strike. They were quick to learn
the value of unionism and now
there is no more thoroughly Or
ganized miners union than the
Buxton camp.
In Buxton the senators would
receive their mail from Negro
postmaster; at the hotel their host
would be a Negro. They would
find themselves in a community
where everybody works especially
father. If father develops a ten
dency to loaf and to graft on his
family he will not remain long in
Buxton. Only men who work can
rent houses.
The Buxton schools have grown
from four teachers in four room
building in 1904 to IA 10 room
building and II teachers today.
OF the 600 pupils, only 60-one in
10-are white. The teachers are
colored and white. The superin-
tendent is a colored man. Of
the mixing of the races in the
schools, Superintendent Gillian
say:
There is absolutely no friction
between the races. Of the very
few cases of fights only twice have
they been colored versus white,
both last year. They play togeth-
er, sit together and eat together.
Nothing is said about social equal

tically at the weaker and depend
ent race, and. seeing him just as
he is, intelligently set about aid
ing him.
"This is just what we have be-
gun to do in Georgia upon a plan
based entirely upon our local con-
dition, as, in my judgment, all
other people must be allowed to
do.
Before we entered upon that
plan, however there were some
things fundamental that had to be
settled between the races.
"All history shows that no two
races approaching in any degree,
equality in numbers, can live
peaceably together unless inter-
marriage takes place or the one be-
comes dependent upon the other.
Miscegenation by law will never
tade place in the South. The Ne
gro must be dependent, in a meas
ure, at least upon the white man,
as he cannot hope to dominate
him.
"If the Negro is made Industrial
ly capable and industrially reliable

rather have service than such as

ity. The school is a matter OF
business"
The 70 clerks in the company
store are whites and Negroes,
working together, neither insult
ing nor being insulted by one an
other, white girls waiting on black
men, Negro girls waiting on white
men. In the bank the senator
would find a Negro woman and a
white woman, and the teller, and
the other the cashier.

furnished house and giving his

opere hall, with a free hand to
turn down whatever appears NOR
ally unfit. On Saturday night if
there is no show from outside,
1000 feet of moving pictures are
given for the good of all.
Buxton has its drawbacks. No
mining camp is an ideal place.
The coal will be exhausted some
time, then Buxton will decamp
and disappear. There is lacking
the motive to buy and improve
property. But here is a commun-
ity where as yet the race question
is solved.
Business is business in the store
on the street and in the mines.
The white woman is safe and sac
red-so is the black woman. The
crowds are lively, well behaved,
well dressed.
In this community, overwhel-
mingly Negro, the races work to-
gether, but do not intermingle
racially, six days in the week 50
weeks in the year, black men work
in Buxton, making good money
and making as good use of their
money as white men, in Buxton,
or elsewhere. Buxton, like Tuske-
gee, is a bright spot.

GETS SOCIAL HONOR

Chicago, July 22.-Society cita-
dels of the University of Chicago
have been stormed by a Negroes
handsome, vivacious, talented
musically and much sought after
because of her clever linguistic and
conversational accomplishments.
Her triumphs endured and waxed
until it was discovered that the
pretty girl, who up to that time
had been welcomed into the most
sacred college circles as white co
ed, was in reality a cousin OF
"Mush Mouth" Johnson, and was
reared in his family.
"Mush Mouth" johnson has re-
ceived much newspaper and Police
Court notoriety because of his
prominence as a first ward gam
bier, second, in political rating,
only to "Hinky Dink" and Bath
house" John.
The explosion came when the
facts regarding her race and blood
were spread broadcast among her
class and college mates to the as
tonishment of all except the mem
bers of the exclusive sorority OF
Pi Delta Phi, to whose collective
heart she had been clasped as be-
loved and admired associate. They
learned the truth some time ago,
and erased her name from their
membership roll, and, fearing ridi-
cule, made solemn pledges of Sc
crecy. Even among themselves
they talked of the strange eircum-
stances in whispers.
Miss johnson has been a student
at the university for five years, and
her social triumphs extend over the
greater part of the period. From
