PRESS OF COUNTRY PRAISED
Officers of Anti-Tubercuiosis Associa-
ton Acknowledge Debt in Fight
Against Dread Disease.

Publicity in newspapers and maya
zines to the amount of 100000 inches
a year on tuberculosis and its proven
ton is being given by the press of the
United States, according to an esti-
mate issued recently by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. If all the pub
licity on tuberculosis given by the
press of this country gathered in one
paper, the National Association esti-
mates it would make paper of over
$3.50 pages. In the last four years,
during which time an active publicity
campaign has been carried on, the
National Association estimates that
over 100000 inches, or over 80 miles,
of press notices on tuberculosis have
been published.
Publicity is the very heart of the
educational campaign against tuber-
culosis," says Dr. Livingston Farrand,
the executive secretary of the national
association. Largely because of the
intelligent cooperation of the press
has the anti-tuberculosis movement in
this country been able to become, as
1t is, the greatest organized movement
of it's kind in the world When tuber-
culosis shall have become a rare dis
ease the American press may justly
claim a large share in this gigantic
achievement"

INSANE MAN TRIES
TO KILL SEN. GORE.
Crazed Pole Attacks OkIahoman with
Club While He is Speaking.

Waukesha, Wis, April 1.-Senator
Gore of Oklahoma narrowly escaped
death this afternoon when a crazed
Pole, Charles Schomulla, attacked
him with a club while the senator was
speaking The Pole was sitting near
the stage, and in the midst of the
Senator's speech, suddenly leaped to
the platform, drawing a club from
under his overcoat as he jumped, and
swung instantly at the senator's head.
One of the men on the stage, Judge
p. C. Hamlin, however, was quicker
than the maniac and knocked Scho-
mulla off the stage before his blow
landed. The senator, who could not
see his danger, was unaware of the
trouble until the man was being over
powered by the audience.
Judge Hamlin had introduced him
to the audience and had taken his seat
back on the stage. while Senator Gore
was proceeding with his address.

Baking Economy.

By the use of perfect baking powder
the housewife can derive as much econ
omy as from any other article used In
baking and cooking. In selecting a bak-
ing powder, therefore, care should be ex-
ercised to purchase one that retains its
original strength and always remains the
same. thus making the food sweet and
wholesome and producing sufficient leav-
ening gas to make the baking light
Very little of this leavening gas is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, MAX
ing 1t necessary to use double the guam
suits.
You cannot experiment every time you
make cake or biscuits, or test the
strength of your baking powder to find
out how much of 1t you should use; yet
with most baking powders you should do
this, for they are put together SO care
lessly they are never uniform, the quality
and strength varying with each can pur-
chased
Calumet Baking Powder is made of
chemically pure ingredients of tested
strength. Experienced chemists put It up.
The proportions of the different materials
remain always the same. Sealed in air
tight cans Calumet Baking Powder does
not alter in strength and is not affected
by atmospheric changes.
In using Calumet you are bound to have
uniform bread, cake or biscuits, as Calu-
or adulterating ingredients so commonly
used to increase the weight. Further, 1t
produces pure. wholesome food and is a
baking powder of rare merit: therefore Is
by leading physicians and
chemists. 1t complies with all the pure
food laws, both STATE and NATIONAL
The goods are moderate in price, and any
lady purchasing Calumet from her gro

and have her money refunded.

Love Matches.

miss Marie Corelli, like all female
novelists, is firm believer in marry
ing for love-"
The speaker, an editor Of a WON
ans magazine, was taking tea at the
Colony club in New York She con-
tinued, nut sandwich poised near
her mouth:
Il argued and wrangled about love
matches with Miss Corelli one whole
day in her old-fashioned Stratford
home, but she rather got the better
of me at the end with an epigram:
She who marries for love- Miss
Corelli said, enters heaven with her
eyes shut. She who marries without
love enters hell with them OPEN"

RIVERS OF UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY TRANSFORMED INTO
RAGING TORRENTS
FINANCIAL LOSS IS ENORMOUS
Ice Floes Threaten Dams and Bridges;
Levees Break-No Relief in Sight.
St. Louis Is In PeriI-Danger
Mark Reached and Water
Is Steadily Rising.

ST. Louis, Mo-, April Rapidly
melting snow is making a raging tor
rent of every river and stream in the
upper half of the Mississippi valley
wrecking houses, inundating lands and
endangering lives.
No relief is in sight. The weather
gradually is growing warmer, which
will result in further melting. All of
the larger rivers are at flood tide, or
within a few inches of it,
Ice floes constantly threaten dams
and bridges. In many places dyna-
mite is being used, but the swiftly
moving currents, it is feared, will car
ry away the huge gorges before they
can be broken up into pieces small
enough to render them harmless.
Mississippi river cities are said to
be in the gravest danger. At st. Louis
last night the river stood close TO the
danger mark, thirty feet, and was re-
ported rising rapidly. Great fear is
entertained for residents near the con-
junction of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. Gangs of men are working
night and day repairing the damaged
levees.
In the north the Platte and the Des
Moines rivers are causing much dam
age. The Platte is filled with ice
gorges which have ripped away sew
eral bridges. The Des Moines river
is still below flood stage, but is rising.
High water drove families from
their homes in Rock Island, ILL.,, Wa
terloo, Neb., and Waterloo, Ia, Yank-
ton, s. D., Norfolk, Neb., and Schneid-
er, Ind, yesterday. Near Schneider,
dixie in the Kankakee river broke,
releasing fifteen feet of water. Boats
are being used the in the principal
streets of Norfolk, Neb.
Many other cities threaten to be
flooded within few hours. Warnings
have been issued to all residents Of
lowlands to prepare to move.
Several lives, it is feared, were lost
today when an ice gorge forced big
gap in the Grant Williams dyke near
lHu'i OH lhc ilN-
er, and a torrent of water swept
through, inundating the country sur
Shelly and Schneider. The
financial loss will reach $250,000.
The submerged land, consisting Of
the most valuable farm land in In
diana, reported to the town of Schnei-
der, on the Chicago, Indiana e South
ern railroad. Reports from Schneider
Indicate that the water is slowly sub
the town.
Fears are entertained that other
portions of the dixie damned by ice
will be swept away.
Cairo, Ill., April 1.-The flood in the
Cairo district, the confluence of the
