A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOPPED.

How many people who read this article.
realize the weighty influence of one little
necessity of life-baking powder-on the
cost of living.
Yet 1t is a leakage that can easily be
stopped II 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 always uniform. 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 n baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 80 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 &c. per pound II the man.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The Diesel oil engine, now well
known where large oil engines can be
used, differs from other internal COM
bustion motors in having no vaporizer
no ignition devices, and in operating
stroke the engine draws in air only;
the next stroke congresses it to 500
pounds per square inch. raising the
temperature to about 1000 degrees,
then a jet of oil is forced in by air
at still higher pressure. and the air in
the cylinder is hot enough to cause
it to burn at once. In place of the
sudden explosion Of gas there is sim
ply the steady burning of the oil as
long as it is injected. The engine
was designed for running on cheap
oils, and quite recently. since the Ger
man patents expired, even tar-oil has
been employed. One of the tar-oil en-
gines is Of 4,000-horsepower. In the
last year or two the German expert
menters have gone still further and
have tried raw tar with such success
that early extensive use of tar as a
motor fuel is predicted. The tests have
been made with a 100-horsepower en-
gAne. using both thin gas-retort tar and
i tick coke-Oven tar. A small amount
~ light oil has been used to aid igni-
S-but the engine has run on tar
alone, of widely different quality.
There was no fouling or interruption.
The tar fuel is said to cost IS per
cent less than tar-oil, and less than
half as much as paraffin or kerosene
oil.

The important subject of nutrition
mas received much attention. but it Is
a new suggestion that, besides correct
amounts of protein. carbohydrate and
fat, the diet must contain a minute
proportion of some mysterious SUBJ
stance not yet understood. This idea
has been taken up by Professor Stepp
of Giessen, in a study of the food of
mice. On a dried mixture of rice and
new milk the mice grew and flour
ished, but after certain portions had
been dissolved out by alcohol and
ether, this food became SO unsuitable
that animals fed on 1t soon died. Some
thing essential to life had been ex-
tracted. The extract included fats,
but no improvement. and the addition
of mineral salts had no effect in pre-
serving life. 1t was concluded that
the essential substance must be IL
poid present in milk but absent from
butter. The lipoids exist in the outer
protoplasmic layer of cells, resemble
fats in solubility in alcohol. and usu-
ally contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
The theory was confirmed by adding
en extract of dried buttermilk to the
treated food, the mice fed on the mix.
ture being in good condition at the end
of six weeks. Some lipoids have been
isolated and tested, but the particular
one necessary to existence has not
been found.

the customary exercises. We do not

be apportioned to sub committees and
from them on until Labor Day morning

LEAGUE INSTALLS OFFICERS

The installation of officers of the
Women's Union Label League occurred
last Monday evening in the Labor Tenn
pie. Retiring President Mrs. Ida Zeig-
Ter installed the new officers and turned
the gavel over to her successor. Mrs
Burcham. The retiring officers have
been faithful and efficient, always in
their places in the lodge room and on
the firing line at all times. The new
officers are among the old standbys
who have been constantly in the harness
and with the aid of the retiring Officers
will carry on the work in an earnest
and capable manner.
A feature of the evening was the read
ing of a written report by Mrs. Zeigler
covering her term of office. The report
appears in another column and should
be widely read.
Mrs. Burcham upon taking the chair
thanked the members for the honor con
ferred upon her and made a strong plea
for the cooperation and support of ev-
cry member of the league. Each new
officer in turn pledged herself to do
everything possible to further the work
of the league.
A meeting was called for Wednesday
afternoon to lay plans for Labor Day
and at the next regular meeting of the
league they will be gone into in detail

Every ten acres held idle by specula-

wages ever lower and lower creating
involuntary idleness, poverty, slums and

All these and manifold other evils are
the direct and inevitable result of our
system of taxation which penalties in

to prevent speculation and force them
into use. This will open all natural re-
sources to use, will enable us to remove
all penalizing taxes from homes, food,
clothing and all necessities of life that
are produced by human labor, thus low
ering the cost of living while at the
same time it will guarantee steady EN-

so supply revenues large enough to pay
all expenses of government as at pres
