The High Cost Of Living Reduced.

Much has been said about the high
cost OF living, its causes, and the pos
sihilities of its reduction. But little
has been said about the most costly
leak the Ease economy existing today
in nearly every household.
Much foodstuffs are bought with
but one point in view: "How cheap
can | get it?" without a thought Of
quality or after cost. - One of the
most serious is baking powder.
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 the baking powder, there
fore, 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 producing suffic lent
leavening gas to make the baking
light.
Very little of thTs leavening gas is
produced by the cheap baking powders,
making it necessary 70 use doGble the
quantity ordinarily acquired to secure
good results.
Nou cannot eriEnent every time
you make a cake or biscuits, or test
the strength Of your baking powder t0
find out how much of it you should
use with most baking powders, you
should do this for they are put to-
gether SO carelessly they are never

Calumet Baking Powder is made of
chemically pure ingredients of tested

it up. The proportions of the different
materials remain always the same.

Further, 1T is a balsing powder of pure;

manded by leading physicians and
chemists. 1t complies with allpure food

goods are moderate in price, and any
lady purchasing CalulzAet from her
grocer, if not satisfied with it, can re-
turn it and have her money refunded.

mittee on public property war pre-
sented:
To the Hon. Board of Supervisors, of Grant
County, Gentlemen:-We your committee on
public buildings and property, beg leave to report
as follows:
We have visited the sheriff's residence Jail and
other buildings the Jail grounds and we find
that former recommendations have all been
carried out by the chairman and clerk and in
satisfactory manner.
We find that the painting of the interior of the
Jail has added greatly to the general appearance
of it.
We would recommend that the detention
room be changed from the in the residence
to the room used as bath room on the second
floor OF the Iall, which room was originally N
tended to be the detention room. In doing this it,
will be necessary to remove the bathtub from the
room where it now is into the residence; and al
so recommend that a bathtub bepurchased for the
Jail and placed in of the celson the south side
We estimate the cost thereof at one hundred
twenty-five dollars ($12500O
Upon examination of the interior of the court
house. find that the roof is now in good repair
and that now is good time to have finished the
interior walls of the building. 1t is very evident
to all that the walls are becoming dirty and should
should be shellaced and then frescoed, When
this is done it will endure for many years to come.
We estimate that the cost OF this would be twenty
| FIVE hundred dollars (S25OO.OO.)
We recommend that there be placed in the his
torical room two glass cases. one to be placed on
the south wall of the room, and the other extend
Ing from the SOuIn along W UOOA'

length about thirty feet with two foot wide
Shelves also to be glass doors with locks and be
finished to match the woodwork of the interior OF
the room the same to be used for relics generally
| for the people of the county. We estimate the
cost to be oneThundred sixtyfve Isl OO) dollars
We also recommend there be purchased for the
ianitor certain mechanical tools which we estimate
to cost about thirty (S30.OO) dollars. We believe
that if certain tools furnished him it will be q
saving to the county, in this, that many times be

Canada among the ten greatest sys-
TENS of the continent, the freight to-
falling 19,233.4S5 tons, passengers
carried, 13.9l6,147. These figures
show that on its Canadian lines alone
the Grand Trunk handled l,431.754
tons of freight and 1,167 900 passen.
gers more than the railway ranking
next as a common carrier
According to Canadian government
figures these totals show that the
Grand Trunk handled a quarter of all
the freight hauld in Canada and prac-
tically one third OF all passengers.
The Grand Trunk railway system
now is Canada's largest organization
from afinancial standpoint, and one
of the greatest in the British Empire
the total capitalization OF the Grand
Trunk and its subsidiary lines being
$435,069, 1856. Including the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway the total cap
ital on December 3lst, 1909. was the
enormous sum OF 1884, 1897 1875 for the
entire Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk
Pacific system of railways.
The present total mileage of the
Grand Trunk, including its subsidiary
lines is 5400 miles, with double
track mileage of 1895. which makes
it not only the longest double track
railway in Canada, but one of the
longest continuous double track rail-
ways under one management in the
world.
Including the mileage of the Grand
Trunk Pacific main line now under
construction and contemplated 3.6i0
miles, Of which 3.0l4 miles are under
contract, also 5,G1S miles OF branch
lines the total length of the entire
system of railways will eventually
amount to 1860
