Woman Causes a Big Scare in a Bank

several women in the long line of
waiting patrons showed signs of faint
ing and the widest excitement pre-
vailed. Had a bank robber descended
in the guise Of a fashionable woman?
Put back that money!" demanded
as with one voice the banker. the po-
liceman and all the men standing in
line at the window.
why, certainly l WILL" said the
woman who had caused all the excite
ment and who, by this time thorough
ly alarmed at the cries Of everyone
about her, ventured an explanation.
Il owe you all an apology, l believe. l
was here a moment ago and forgot q
pair of gloves. l left in a great hurry
and must have left them here at the
window. l had only a few minutes to
catch my train to Baltimore and mis-
took that gentleman's money bag for
them. They are just exactly that color,
you know"
Her explanation was suffl cient and
smiles spread over the alarmed faces.
Good joke" voted the huge guar
dian of the peace, who breathed freely
again and sauntered away.

Really Is a Jag in a Georgia Melon

the discovery of a criminal tendency
in the watermelon heretofore unsus-
pected.
I'VE have been experimenting with
every sort of fruit and vegetable that
contains sugar." said Mr.. Wilson, the
watermelon, pears, apples, peaches,
plums, pumpkins, muskmelons, Irish
potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets and
other vegetables. The watermelon sur
prised us. We never expected it of
1t. The purpose Is to develop the
cheapest kind of denatured alcohol for
use as fuel.
The experiments have been made
under the directions Of DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureal of
chemistry. OF course it is impossible
to extract this alcohol in paying guam
titles from melons, but we hope to do
so from sweet potatoes.
The experiments have been made
to benefit the seacoast portion of the
south, from Virginia down the Allan
tic around Florida and along the gulf.
Sweet potatoes can be grown cheaply
in the sand Of these sections. One
bushel of sweet potatoes will make q
gallon of alcohol. The product is q
better and cheaper fuel than benzine."

He Calls Mrs. SNOWFALL a Model Hen

and clucks to find herself famous.
This hen has appeared in Wilmington
and Is the property of a 1~4-year-old
boy, Lilbourne Martin. But she is not
a native of Delaawre. No, she thanks
her feathers she was born at Bynum,
Nd, and thus good old Hartford coun.
ty adds another gem to the diadem Of
the state that made good eating ia
nous. Though black as a colored poll
tician, she rejoices in the name Of
Snowfall, and as such will go down in
history.
For generations Maryland has been
famous for her chickens, and whether
they were fried a la Maryland or were
laid to rest in the old-fashioned pie,
they have served their country we'll
and have left pleasant memories be-
hind them. 1t is all the more crafty.
ing to record that out of the heart Of
the fried-chicken belt has come this
phenomenal hen.
According to the records, she not
only lays two eggs a day, but some
times varies it by contributing three.

for family use. II she can keep up
her record for a year this will mean
$50 eggs, with a few extra for Christ
mas and the Fourth of July. If all the
eggs grow up into chickens Mrs.
Snowfall would soon have enough de-
scendants to cluck around the world.
She deserves a medal from Secretary
Wilson and a cablegram from Col.
Roosevelt for her efforts to prevent
race suicide.
Mrs. SNOWFALL is a model hen. She
never worries about the fashions in
feathers; she is not forever running
of to some barnyard by the sea or
chicken house in the mountains; she
does not try to shine at bridge or out
scratch her neighbors. She stays at
home, looks after Mr.. Snowfall and
the children and attends strictly to
business. Wherefore will she be re-
membered wherever the egg is held in
honor and the chicken in esteem.

BAKING ECONOMY

BY the use of perfect baking powder the
housewife can derive as much economy as
from any other article used in baking and
cooking. In selecting q baking powder,
therefore, care should be exercised to pur-
chase one that retains its original strength
and always remains the same, thus making
the food sweet and wholesome and produc-
ing sufficient leavening gas to make the
baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, max
ing it necessary to use double the quantity
ordinarily required to secure good results.
In using Calumet Baking Powder. you
are bound to have uniform bread, cake or
biscuits, as Calumet does not contain any
cheap, useless or adulterating ingredients
so commonly used to increase the weight.
Further, it produces pure, wholesome food
and is a baking powder of rare merit;
therefore, is recommended by leading ply,
sicians and chemists. 1t complies with all
pure food laws, both SLATE and Ma
TIONAL. The goods are moderate in
price, and any lady purchasing Calumet
from her grocer, if not satisfied with it can
return it and have her money refunded.

WASHINGTON.-For 20 years James
w Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
has been sounding the praises of the
American hen. He has shown by sta
~tistics, pictures, reports, omelets, soft
boiled eggs and spring chickens that
the American hen beats the world.
She Is not the p%ossessor of great per-
sonal beauty, she does not aspire to
be a butterfly of fashion, but is a very
fine representative of the housewife
type of chicken. If fine feathers made
fine birds she would not be in it. For
the peacock Is a dazzler and the roos-
ter struts with an air that cannot be
initiated by his more modest compan-
ion who does the homework and
scratches around for the children. But
the hen. by keeping steadily at work
n doing the best she can, has been
enabled to enrich this country by more
good dollars than all the silver mines
of the west and all the gold of the
klondike. Statistics show that in a
single generation the American hen
lays eggs enough to make the Allan
tic ocean n vast omelet and fill the
Pacific with scrambled eggs Placed
on top OF n another they would
make a stack 10000 times as tall as
the Washington monument and almost
as high as the price of beef.
All this has been done by the one
egg a day hen. But along with the
airships and the rs, OOO-ton %battleships,
the two-egg hen has arrived. No, she
was not produced by Luther Burbank
by grating a Leghorn chicken onto a
roe herring. She is just a plain, ordi-
nary hen, who resolved to do her best,
