A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOPpED

How many people who read this article,
realize the weighty influence of one little
necessity of life-haking powder-on the
cost of living.
Yet it is leakage that can easily be
stopped If the housewife will only pay a
little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap big Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not alwaysauniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking. and the
result is that more is lost in one or two
spoiled bakings than you spend on bak-
ing powder in the whole year. The cheap
big, Can" Baking Powders should be
avoided.
On the other hand, many housewives
feel that a baking powder is of no value
unless they pay so cents a pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust brands. This is mistake, as
the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for 25c. per pound if the man.
ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable
profit. There is one brand on the market
that meets these requirements. 1t is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recon-
mended by leading physicians and chem
lists; used in millions of homes: and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition.

New to 1t.

They walked up to the desk of the
Getty House in Yonkers, both in sus-
piciously new clothes. He took a pen
from the hand of Clerk Mailing with a
careless, Indifferent air and signed
with a flourish. 1t was just his name.
Mailing looked at him in surprise and
waited. Finally he said:
aren't you going to register her
too?"
The man answered, "Of course, -
and with another flourish he added,

The bride looked at him reproach-
fully, murmuring: What did you
suppose hit you in the ribs for?"

CATTLE RECEIVED AT KANSAS
CITY STOCK YARDS FROM CON-
PETITIVE TERRITORY.

The year 1911 has been one Of the
most successful years in the history
of the Kansas City Live Stock Mar
ket. Local packers and outside kill
ers have bought heavily of all classes
Of liye stock, and 1t has been one OF
the big years in the stocker and feed
er trade. Prices paid for hogs at
Kansas City have been so strong
throughout the year that the territory
of competing markets has been invad-
ed to an astonishing extent. Nebras-
ka shipped $4,000 hogs to Kansas
City in 1911, and $4,000 in 1910. That
is a gain Of ITO per cent in Nebraska
hogs at Kansas City, indicating the
supremacy of Kansas City over Oma-
ha and st. Joseph in the matter of
hog prices. Missouri shipped $4,000
hogs to Kansas City in 1911, and $685.
600 in 1910. That is gain of Ga per
cent, largely at the expense of st.
Joseph and st. Louis, competitors
with Kansas City for the Missouri
hog business. The slaughter of sheep
In Kansas City in 1911 breaks all pre-
vious records by 100000 head.
In 1911 95 per cent of all the live
stock raisers in Kansas City found
ready sale. Stock cattle and sheep,
enroute from one part of the country
to another, made up most of the re-
naming E per cent. Very little live
stock was forwarded to other markets
because of unsatisfactory bids at Kan
sas City.
Great improvements in the facili-
ties at the yards were made in 1911.
On the site Of the Old Exchange
Building new unloading and loading
chutes have been erected. One Of the
most important additions to the facil-
tiles that have been made in years
was the erection of new sheep barns
in 1911. These barns cover three
acres Of ground, and are as near fire.
proof as they could be made. Nearly
100000 sheep and goats were re-
ceived in the yards in 1911, an in
crease of 100000 head over the best
previous year, 1910. In all depart
ments, twelve thousand more carloads
Of live stock were received in the
stock yards at Kansas City in 1911
than in 1910.

Peace Reigns at
Lawrence Again,
Strikers Loyal

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 4.-There
was an utter absence of the much
feared disorder when the mills opened
for work today. Although nearly every
individual striker of the Industrial
Workers of the World had followed the
orders of the leaders and were on picket
duty, importuning the other workers
not to return, they were most peace
full In their attitude.
Consequently, the big guard and 20
lice and military on duty in the victn-
ity, of the mills did not interfere. The
expected break in the ranks of the
strikers, forecast by the mill owners
did not appear. Instead 1t was asserted
that fewer workers are back at the
looms than at any time since the open
ing of the strike.
Two Italians were arrested during
the morning, but they were releas ed
When taken to police headquarters.
Mill agents, explaining the failure OF
their former employees to flock back to
work. said they had been scared by
the reports that there would be much
violence, and that many would return
tomorrow. On the other hand, the
strike leaders said their ranke were in
tact, and they would surely be sug-
m@nted by reflections from those who
went back today.

Department Awaits
Return of NeiII
From Lawrence

DR.. Charles p. Neill, Commissioner Of
Labor may return any day this week
from Lawrence, Mass, bringing with
him report on industrial conditions in
the strike-afflicted mill town. accord
ing to a statement this morning in the
Office of Secretary Nagel, of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor. 1t
Is also said that DR.. Neill will file his
report with the Secretary and further
disposition of 1t will depend on Mr..
N9gels pleasure.
1t is regarded as likely that Secretary
Nagel will at once give the report out
for publication, because a request from
Congress for the same would follow
any delay according to the. statement of
union labor II embers of Congress.
There Is not likely to be any dispost-
ton. however, on tho part of the Dc
partmC 1t of Commerce and Labor to
hold up the report, according to the
same Congressman.
Considerable speculation exists I'm the
department as to what the report will
cover. 1t is universally assumed that
DR.. NELL will cover completely such
questions as the rate of pay of textile
mill workers and the cost of living in
Lawrence. Many believe that the re-
port will so farther and discuss the
questions aCutely at issue in the strike
and it's conduct, even though these
questions are burning ones.

PEklNG. March 4.-The city was
comparatively calm today as the result
of the presence of 5000 foreign soldiers
Nearly all of the fires had been ex-
tinguished or had burned out, and little
looting was reported The mutineers
seem TO have been awed by the arrival
OF more foreign troops, and the an
nouncement that four British regiments
are on their way here from Hongkong.
The authorities claim that nearly all
OF the mutineers who have not left the
city with their loot are being herded
in the barracks. Scores of suspects
were summarily executed today, but it
was noticeable that few of the victims
were soldiers. A report was circulated
that the actual mutineers had been
promised immunity If they would not
attempt any more mutiny.
Two hundred American troops COM
manded by Major Arrowsmith, arrived
here today, and pitched camp around
the United States legation Several
companies from the Philippines will be
ordered here unless the authorities
soon show they are able to control
the situation.
Five thousand people have been killed
here since the outbreak of the mutiny,
