The Difference.

What is the difference be-
tween high grade and low
grade baking powders?
All baking powders are white
and are sold in round cans
with bright labels. They look
alike, but in contents they are
very different.
High grade baking powders
are made of pure cream of tar
tar derived from grapes. They
are healthful and economical to
use.
Low grade baking powders
are made of alum an astringent
mineral acid.
Before the pure food law
only a chemist could tell by
analysis one from the other.
But now baking powders
have the ingredients printed
on the back of the label. BY
reading the label the house.
keeper knows the ingredients
and being careful of the well
fare of her household, avoids
the alum kind of baking pow
der.
Good baking powder is one
of the most useful things in
the kitchen-and there is a
difference.

VS.. the Courant company was
tried Friday. The plaintiff seeks
to recover on certain checks
alleged to have been given by
the Courant company and
signed by her husband, Ed A.

EvangeIine.

Longfellow's exquisite poem
Evangeline' describes the
Punishment of the French COL
onists from that part of Nova
Scotia known as Acadia, in the
autumn of 1855 by the edict of
the British king.
The Acadians, otherwise
known as French neutrals, ex-
empt from military service to
France, were at that time per-
emptorily sent into exile with
out an end and without an ex-
ample in story. The chief
charm of Longfellow's master
piece is found in the character
of Evangeline, teaching as it
does that patience and devoted
ness may, when exercised with
relig gious purity of heart, rise
to the scale of heroic virtue.
A novel and attractive enter
tainment will be given at the
opera house Wednesday even
ing, March 81, by the teachers
and pupils of the high school,
assisted by some of the best
talent of the city. Miss Nc
Cune, who instructs the cast of

and excellent music, vocal and

STRATTON'S OPERATIONS.
Former Johnson Citian Acquires
Valuable New York Farm.
Refused $1,000 per Acre.

Speaking of the increase of the value
of New York suburban property, the
New York Evening Post says the fol-
lowing of the operations of f. A. STRAIT
ton, a former resident of Johnson City:
Numerous sales of small plots and of
large estates were reported from West
chester county, which also furnished
an instance Of larger valuations than
existed a year ago. This instance was
divulged through the purchase by F.
A. Stratton Of the Thomas Brundage
farm of 1926 acres near Armonk, at the
edge of the New York city watershed.
Mr.. Stratton is reported to have paid
$26, 600 for the land A few years ago
he acquired for $4O0 an acre the Car
penter and Soulice farms, running from
Wilmot road, New Rochelle, to Weav-
er street, Mamaroneck. Since the
building of the New York, Westchester
and Boston railway, Mr.. Stratton has

LITERARY GEMS.

Gov. Patterson's Thanksgiving proc
lamation is an admirably worded doc
ument, and another attest to his clev-
erness in composition. AS in his
speeches and messages, the governor
shows that he is master of good Eng
lish, Could diction be more graceful
than this?
ave should be grateful that our own
state, one of the many sovereigns which
is contributing to the strength and glo-
ry of an enduring union, is moving out
from the shadows which have some
times fallen upon her path into the
calm, cool atmosphere Of thought and
reason, where the beauties of truth and
the graces of charity dwell"
Then the sympathy in this passage
where he enjoins us to enter into the
full spirit Of the day;
Let us sanctify our own enjoyment
this day, and render the most accepta-
ble praise by bringing ray of sunshine
in the windows of some darllened soul,
by giving comfort to some torn and
bleeding heart

SHE PAID $4,000
FOR A DIVORCE.

New York, Nov. 29.-Mrs. Mary
Brandes, who is 38 years old and the
mother of two children, parted with
over $40, 600, she says, in an unsuccess-
full effort to obtain a divorce from her
husband, William Brandes, through
psychic influence.

trial in court" she said today, land
when l was told that clairvoyant
could get divorce without any bother
and | wouldn't have to go to court, l

Mrs. Brandes went to police head
quarters, and in talk with Inspector
McCafIerty, said she had decided that
certain woman and man had i'm
posed on her. She said that they were
Della Golf, nurse, and Jacob Lamen-
dorf, an intimate friend OF the nurse.
Detectives arrested the man and wo-
man today and took them to the police
court, where Mrs. Brandes appeared
and made charge of grand larceny
against them. The specific complaint
in the affidavit was that on December
II, 1907, the defendants obtained 5000
from the complainant on the false pre-
tense that they would obtain decree
of divorce for her.

in the previous gubernatorial primary
Senator Carmack carried them with
narrcw margin of forty votes. Well
informed men tell your correspondent
that it is their judgement Gov Patter-
son would now carry majority of
democratic votes against any man who
might oppose him.
T. J. Welch, who managed Gov.
Pattersons campaign two years ago,
and who is one of the best known men
in the county, having served several
years as register, expresses the opinion
that Gov. Patterson has not lost a
friend in the county, but, on the con-
trary, has gained many supporters
from the hands of those who were for
merly opposed to him.
81 attribute this,n says Mr.. Welch,
"to the governors wise, economic and
business-like administration. Ex-Con-
federates (Mr Welch is one himself)
have in Gov. Patterson the best friend
that has been in the governors chair
since the war. He has won the con-
fidence and esteem of the thinking
men interested in the agricultural, ed
ucational, and other varied interests of
the state, and, in my judgement, has
done more to develop the state than
any of his many able predecessors. "
II is Mr.. Welch's opinion that the
governor has not only gained great
strength in Hardin, but is 25 per cent
