A Denial from High Authority.

DR.. H. W. Wiley, Chief Chemist of
the Agricultural Department has de-
manded of the Calumet Baking Pow
der Company, of Chicago, that it cease
the publication of alleged certificates
or statements that he had endorsed
the Calumet Baking Powder, or report
ed in favor of its purity, wholesome
ness or superiority. Such statements,
he says, are false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon COM
mittee of awards, as alleged. nor sign
ed such a report or certificate, nor did
he ever indorse the Calumet Baking
Powder in any way. On the contrary,
DIR. Wiley testified before a Congress
sional Committee relative to alum in
food. as follows: LAS | have said re-
peatedly, I do not use it in my own
home, and would not use alum in
bread if 1 knew it. Alum is injuri-
ous."
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's demand
that the Calumet Company should
cease these publications, which are, he
SAYS. against the TRUTH was not COM
piled with, although he says he has
done all he could "to stop the base and
inexcusable use of his name"
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used
to aid in foisting upon consumers a
food compound made from ingredients
which the Doctor has publicly declared
to be Manifestation National Food

A Marvellous Saw.

1t makes the man who is interested
in the salvation of the forests of the
world gasp for breath when he enters
a shop in Paris where the paving blocks
for the citys streets are being made.
Paris is very large city, and it takes
a great many blocks to keep TIE streets
in good condition. A recently invented
and established saving machine turns
out as many as 100000 blocks a day. An
endless chain receives the planks,
which are already cut to a certain re
quired length and thickness. and car
ries them on to a system of seventeen
saws, where they are quickly cut up
into blocks of the right size for paving
and are then turned out at the other
end of the monster machine.

SDanish as Spoken.

DR.. A. w. Parsons, the oldest Ameri-
can physician, i'll point of practice, in
the City Of Mexico. tells good story
Of his experience in that country. As a
young man he had been knocking about
Western mining camps in the days
when gun plays were common.
He had just landed at one OF the gulf
ports of Mexico, and was eating II
o'clock breakfast at the only hotel in
town. He was seated at the table with
several other Americans. all rough
railroad construction men. Their
knowledge of Spanish was rather limit
ed. and their pronunciation atrocious.
At the meal one of the men said to the
waiter angrily:
Dame la mantequilIa" (Give me the
butter) In good Castilian it would
sound thus: Dame la man-te-keel-ya,"
cd by the American it sounded. Dam
me la man-te-kill-ye.'
The young medico promptly stiffened
his legs and slid under the table. His
astonished table mates looked at each
other and then peered beneath the
board to see what allied him.

Of them.

oats.
1t was the first week of Nav when

l put in five acres wheat and ten acres

My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per

such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around

their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass

Soufh's Inter-RaciaI Duties.

The success of negroes depends upon
their ability to work efficiently. In this
respect they are in exactly the same
boat as the white people. Industry
thrift, intelligence and efficiency are
the essentials of success among all peo-
pie, regardless of race, color or pre-
vious conditions of servitude, and the
quality of negro citizenship depends en-
tirely upon the efficiency, integrity and
industry of the race.
We owe to the negroes sympathy, op-
portunity and encouragement, and the
negroes owe to the whites diligence, re-
spect, fidelity and never ceasing effort
to make themselves worthy of conf
dence and esteem. Nothing is so apt to
strengthen and improve the relations
of the races as industrial training
which makes for efficiency, independ-
ence, self-respect and patriotism.
