a LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOpDEN

How many people who read this article,
realize the Weighty influence of one little
necessity of life-bal1ing powder-on the
cost Of living.
Yet it is a 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 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 a baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 50 cents a pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust brands. This is a 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. It is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recon-
mended by leading physicians and chela-
lists; used in millions OF homes; and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition.

port. The street commissioner, who
had at his disposal more appointments
than all the rest Of the administration
put together, used them primarily for
the good Of the party and after that
for cleaning the streets.
The mayor, the ostensible head but
really the servant of the quartet, was
there because of his Office, and he was
in office because he could be con-
trolled. From the point Of view Of
the men present, he was the best
mayor that New York had ever
had. He was a man of some parts.
He could make brilliant speech, pre-
side gracefully and with dignity at
public meetings, and was altogether
an admirable figure to head a great
city in everything but morals.
Associated with these four intensely
practical men and this plant, willing
figurehead were the interests repre-
scented by the Gotham Freight Trac-
tion company, of which Haldane was
in absolute control, although the presi-
6ency was vested in another man. The
interests of Haldane and his asso-
ciates were not confined to the
Gotham Freight Traction company.
They had their hands on every public
franchise. Their private affairs, of
course, were vast and multiform; but
with them we have nothing to do.
Their alliance with the political party,
for which they had paid and would
continue to pay enormous sums,
had brought them very material
advantages in one form or an
other. All the trusts that make
New Jersey their headquarters hardly
! equaled in wealth and control the
organizations these men represented.
Haldane, from his one interview
with Gormly, had an idea that in this
| instance the two forces to be dread
! ed by the ring were incarnated in
. GorEly and would rally about Gormly.

TIE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per-
Bistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with a consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, heada che and a feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain in effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried it
send your name and address to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, and he will be very glad to
send a sample bottle for trial.

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tions. Look for any of the following
signs:
Mere or less than three and one half
p5ntS passed daily.
Too dark or too pale color.
PASSAGES too frequent, profllse, or much
reduced, or scalding and painful.
Sandy, gritty or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers
or ielly-like thickenin9.
Staining Of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for a time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away

Uncle SANS Representative.
Buffalo. N. Y, Projectors

Senator John Sharp Williams tells
of a negro lad in a southern town who
was not the least jealous of Uncle
Sans servants. One day when the
mail bag for that town was thrown
from the train the pouch was caught
up by this diminutive courier, who
started off, as was his wont, on brisk
trot to the postoffice.
AS he was rounding a corner Of the
station he encountered a larger boy,
with the result that the little courier
was upset. When the latter got up
and readjusted himself he turned upon
the other eXclaiming:
Look heah! Yo' wants to be keer-
full bout dis chile! When yo' jars me

States. | carries dc MALL"

stances were suspected, but their &C
tUality had not been allowed to trans
pire. Haldane kept in constant touch
with LifTey the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two were hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance,
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity Of the situation, and had di-
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice wound naturally be
sought on such subjects as he desired
to discuss. He had also assembled two
of the directors of the Gotham Freight
Traction company, to wit, Van Slylze
and Mcdonald, men associated with
him upon whose judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
came LiIey, grand chief Of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and unGisputed boss of the party;
COnneU the chief Of police; Ruther-
ford the district attorney; Habber-
ley, the street commissioner; and last
and also least, Hon. Peter D. Warren,
mayor Of the city.
Liffey, as leader Of the Great
Sachem society, controlled the Or
ganization absolutely. The chief Of
police welded the vast powers for
graft of that remarkable organization.
The district attorney, through whose
hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve OF both
the Sachem society and that portion Of
the people to which it looked for sup

young men.

amid the roar of laughter which greet

OF his arguments and the force OF his
representations did not appeal to me

noon, gentlemen said Gormly, rising
to signify that the interview was over.

He was greeted by the faculty and

The veteran professor was gradu-

years at college and in special work.
he went back to the school as a pro-
