rather skate Or go to outdoor

DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Pow
ders Which Should be Exposed.

Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Pow
ders Which Should be Exposed.
There has recently been attempted
also at dwelling houses, by agents
who are trying to sell alum baking
powders, what the exhibitors call a
baking powder test. They pretend
to show by some boiling test that
pure cream of tartar baking powders
contain something which every wom-
an of intelligence knows they do not
1t does not need a, chemist to ex-
pose this trick. Cream of tartar
which is the chief constituent of the
best and most wholesome baking
powder, is originally clear, white
crystal. This is ground into a fine,
creamy -four, in which form, mixed
with baking soda, it is present in the
baking powder. Cream of tartar.
when mixed with water and boiled,
simply returns to it's crystalline form,
and that is all there is to the so-called
test.
The matter of special interest to
the public is to know what these peo-
pie offer in place of cream of tartar
powders of well known purity and
established reputation against which
these ISLANDERS are directed. They
are offering baking powder which
official analyses have repeatedly
shown is made from alum, a drug
so well recognized by physicians and
scientists as injurious to health that
in many countries it's use in bread
is entirely prohibited! So cheap and
inferior are the ingredients of this
powder that it costs to make less than
three cent? a pound No prudent
housewife will knowingly put such
stuff as this into her food.

zone Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kim

When rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it. A
similar trait of human nature is to
be observed when a man discovers
something exceptionally good-he
wants all his friends and neighbors
to share the benefits of his discovery
This is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This
explains why people who have been
cured by Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy write letters to the manufacture
ers for publication. that others SIM
ilarly ailing may also use it and OBJ
tain relief. Behind every one of these
letters is a warm hearted wish of the
writer to be of use to someone else.
This remedy for sale by all druggists.

sufficient to meet the depreciation in

TAKES FIRST STEP
Davenport Commercial Club In
augurates Move for Line
of Canal Boats
WANTS. CITIES To ASSIST
Proposed to Have Freight Carrying
Vessels Running Between Miss
issippi and Great Lakes.

Davenport is taking the lead in a
movement with the object of securing
line of canal boats to carry freight
between the Mississippi river and the
great lakes over the Hennepin and
drainage canals and the Illinois river.
At meeting of the Commercial club
yesterday afternoon a resolution drawn
UP by the transportation committee
was adopted recommending that the
commercial organizations of all cities
that may be interested be communi
Gated with, the object being to CO.
operate toward definite end
BENEFIT In Two Ways.
II is believed that if the proper IN
terest is manifested there will be tan
gible results within a year and that
not only will the three cities be bene-
fitted by having a freight boat line ter
inmate here, but the whole upper
Mississippi valley will be benefited by
the influence of such line upon rail-
road rates.
