The Other Side.

An article clipped from another pa
per recently appeared in our columns
in which the name of a well-known
chemist and pure-food authority was
used in way that might lead one to
suppose that he had condemned Calu-
met Baking Powder. We are informed
that this is not the fact, and that the
truth in regard to the exposition
award given the Calumet is as fol-
lows:
When the Worlds Pure Food Ex-
position of 1907 was organized, Com
mission on Tests, consisting Of twelve
most eminent scientists Chemists,
psychologists and physicians) was ap-
pointed which had entire control Of
the granting of awards
The Commission on Tests directed
the chemists as to the nature and eX-
tent of the tests to be applied in the
case of each particular product. The
reports made by the chemists were the
basis of facts upon which the Commits
sion granted the awards. Every pos
sible safeguard was placed about the
granting Of awards to prevent crook
edness.
Under these circumstances the Calu-
met Baking Powder Company feels
justly proud of having received the
highest award for Calumet Baking
Powder.

THE NAVY ASHORE.
The Bureaus Cost a Heap More Than
the Battleships.

The American navy on the land EN-
ploys from % to so per cent. more men
than the navy on the sea. Directly and
indirectly it pays nearly twice as much
in wages. 1t costs as much to maintain
it before a stroke of work is done as
to maintain the whole fleet at sea.
Twice as many admirals, twice as
many captains, three times as many
commanders work for it. Many of these,
of course, are required for important
military posts ashore, but. a great and
growing number merely for the manu-
featuring plants of the navy yards.
These industrial plants, with this or
ganization, are put under the manage
ment of navy officers-trained special
lists in the art of making war. The COM
mands of the important yards are given
to a senior sea Officer-a captain OF adj
miral-as comfortable and desirable
post, and often as a last high honor be-
fore his retirement under the age
limit
The various departments of the yard
are placed in the hands of mature Of
fcers of rank and experience as seamen
Clean cut, punctilious men, with the
training interests and ambitions OF a
professional fighting class-as far re-
moved from the interests of modern
commercialism as the Eighteenth CEN

MULTUM IN CALIFORNIA.
Climates of All Kinds Produced While
You Wait.


The Californian claims the greatest
valley in the world, or the most beauti-
ful, in the Yosemite; the finest trout
streams, the deepest and highest lakes,
the most picturesque national parks, and
last and by no means least, the finest
climate, of all kinds and variety.
If you say the climate is too 'sun-
shiny" that there is too much pleasant
weather, he will quote the fog records
for thirty years. IL you sigh for sleigh.
ing says Outing. he has the record OF
Quincy, Plumas county, at his tongue S
end, where the snow has been forty feet
on the level.
Then the desert palm forests, the Muir
woods of giant redwoods, the marine
forests of kelp, the lake of tar one mil
lion years old, where you can fish FOR
saber tooth. tigers with pick, and get
them, too; the glaciers, the missions
Americas old ruins-the climates, SUIT
ed to Ubanga or Eskimo; climates OF all
kinds continually on hand and produced
while you wait.
Where can you battle in the ocean III
comfort pick strawberries and oranges,
and go sleighing and snOwballing all in
one day? In California, of course.
Where do the biggest fruits. the greatest
stretches of flowers, the most stupen-
dous gold producing mines? In Califor-
MIA, beyond question. And there is so
much of this true that one may as well
surrender at once.

Short Suggestions.

Grained woodwork should be washed
with weak tea.
A pretty garnish can be made with
the inner leaves of brussel sprouts.
Fruit cake may be kept indefinitely
if it is put away in a covered tin,
wrapped in branded cloths.
Five cents worth of whiting kept
in a bathroom closet is cheap and
quick polisher of nickel filings.
Parmesan cheese sprinkled thickly
over stewed tomatoes that are later
Drowned in a baking dish gives them
an added zest.
If you scorch a garment when iron
ing it rub a lump of dry starch on the
mark, then sponge it off. Repeat till
the yellow disappears.
good rule to remember about -four
is that for pastry it cannot be too cold,
while for cake, and especially for bread,
it should be slightly warm.
When cutting a tomato some prefer
to pass the knife frequently over the
freshly cut surface OF a large onion.
This resulting flavor is indescribably
delicate.
Just for a change try filling apples
which have been cored ready for bak-
ing with orange marmalade or raisins
and a little butter and sugar. The re-
suit is delicious.
A saucerful of lime placed in a
damp closet will act as disinfectant
and absorb dampness. The lime should
be renewed once in two weeks or as
often as it SlakeS.
Nail an old toothbrush to a long
stick and you will find it very con-
yenient for sweeping the upper tray
Of the gas stove or under the stove,
where a broom will not reach.
If the meta, bars used for holding
towels and wash cloths have become
rusted give them several coats of paint
and one of enamel and yon will have
no further trouble from rust.

SOLD TO HAREMS.
Efforts by the Young Turks to Save
, CircasSian Girls.

The leaders of the Young Turks in
Constantinople and in other large towns
of the Sultan's dominions are doing
their utmost to suppress the trade in
Circassian girls, which was revived some
five years ago. and has assumed large
proportions The girls come mostly from
the east shore of the Black Sea, and
are shipped secretly from the ports of
Poti, Tuapse, Soukhum-Kale and Ba-
toum. Many elude the vigilance of lie
Russian authorities, disguised as boys.
The most unpromising feature of the
business is the attitude of the parents,
who are well content to sell their daugh-
tiers into the harems of rich Turkish Pa
shas The Circassians are extremely
poor in their mountain homes on the
shores of the Euxine and the girls them
selves are seldom averse to the change
from the sordid, half-starved existence
of their childhood to the glitter of the
Turkish harem. They are sure of a
pleasant, easy life with plenty to eat,
and after the Pasha is tired of them they
are certain of marriage to some we'll
TODD man. The price of a beautiful Cir
cassion girl has increased as the result
of the strong demand. One of good
stature and figure with handsome face
costs as much as $1,000. The ordinary
price of a comedy sirl is from $500 to
$1,000.

Moonshine Bad. for Fish.

There are lots of anglers, of course
who would not credit the statement that
the moon shining on fish spoils Them
SAYS writer in the Omaha World
Herald. There are a large number OF
skilled old fishermen up about Walker
on Leech lake. in Minnesota, and on be-
ing told of this effect of the moon on
the fish. when / was up there several
years ago, / inquired of old man Busch
the old hotel man and best maskinonge
hunter of the region, and he. told me
that fish exposed to the moonlight were
sure to spoil. A number of other old
fishermen about the lake told me the
same thing. Old man Busch said that
the moonshine made the fish soft and
tainted it to such an extent as to unfit
it for the table in a few hours.

tends Art Work in Her Home.
Recently the Duchess of Marlborough
made flying trip from st. Moritz,
Switzerland, to her London home, Sun
derland house, and in two days reorgan-
lied the decorating now going on there.
She then returned to the Swiss resort.
Her impetuous grace had arranged for
the placing of some beautiful carved
panels round the walls of one of the re-
ception rooms on the same floor as the
ballroom. Unfortunately the panels,
purchased by her ready for hanging, did
not fit This threw out the whole
scheme of the room, the coloring of
which had been toned to match the tap
estries and carved frames. The duchess,
who was especially anxious for this
form of decoration for the apartment,
was advised by letter and at once has
tened to assume charge. Later in the
season the duchess will entertain num-
Der of American relatives at Sunderland
house. Her aunt, Mrs. Tiffany, will be
among them and her mother, Mrs. Bel
