DR. Prices Cream Baking Powder is free
from alum and lime phosphates. Made
from grape Cream Of tartar and absolutely
pure. Its use IS a safeguard to health, for
it actually aids digestion, and relieves from
all anxiety as to the wholesomeness of the
food.
On the other hand each attempted imposition
of an alum baking powder upon the consumer is
a covert attack upon the health Of the family OF
course. no grocer would knowingly sell injurious
food to his customers; but he has himself been
deceived as to the true character Of the cheap
powders by their manufacturers.

constant watchfulness and stubborn resistance
against the danger.
Baking Powders sold at lower price
than DR.. Prices are almost invariably
made from alum, and therefore In
ferior, and prejudicial to health.

Very Rev. Hugh S. Burleson, secre-
tary Of the board of missions of the
Episcopal church with headquarters
in New York City and formerly dean
Of Gethsemane cathedral in this city,
has been elected missionary bishop
of North Dakota to succeed Blshop
Cameron Man who, after an episcoplt
of twelve years In this diocese, has
been transferred to the southern dlo-
cese of Florida.
Definite word Of this change in the
administration of affairs In the church
in North Dakota was received from
the triennial convention Of the Episco-
pal church in New York last night by
Dean G. Dewitt Bowling of Geth-
semane cathedral
The new appointment cannot helpbut
be pleasing to all parishioners of the
cathedral parish in Fargo as we'll as
all churchmen throughout the diocese,
as Rev. Mr.. Burleson when dean of
the local cathedral was a man who
enjoyed a widespread popularity
among the followers Of all faiths.
Now in Hospital.
AS was announced in yesterdays
Forum the bishop-elect is now con-
fined in st. Luke's hospital in New
York where he Is recovering from a
broken knee-cap, sustained in q street
car accident. 1t will probably be
several weeks before he has fully re-
covered and taken to his home at
Coss Cobb, Conn, where he will spend
at least a month, 1t is thought, re-
cuperating.
His many friends here will be anx-
ious to hear good reports Of his re-
covery. His conservation as bishop,
If he accepts the election, will be de-
ferred until he has sufficiently re-
covered for the solemn service which
will attend that elevation.
Bishop Man Goes South.
Bishop Cameron Mann will go to
the southern diocese of Florida, as has
already been announced. The change
will take place about Jan. !. On Dec.
IL next, Bishop Mann will have pre-
sided over the affairs Of his mission
ary diocese twelve years and his many
| friends will regret to note his de-
parture. s ..
The see city of the southern Florida
diocese is Orlando where 1t is probable
| Bishop Mann wilt establish the episco-
| pal residence, in conformity with the
custom of his predecessors.
The bishopric Is located at Orlando
| together with the cathedral. There
| is also a church hospital there, a
church school and the cathedral has a
staff of clergy comprising dean, an
archdeaCon, canon and a minor
canon. There are 21S. communicates

Extension OF Time "
in Bonding Case

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 21.-An ex-
tension of time has been asked by
State Ins. Com. w. C. Taylor and State
Treas. Gunder Olson in the order OF
the supreme court for them to show
cause why they should not be per-
manently restrained from putting in
to effect the new state law providing
for state bonding department. The
temporary writ issued by the supreme
court on Oct. 16 and returnable on
Nov. does not give Messrs. Taylor
and Olson sufficient time in which to
prepare their defense of the law. An
extension of time has been asked and
it Is probable that the hearing will
not occur before Nov. Is. Assistant
Attorney General zuger Is at work
upon the case and Commissioner Tay-
lor is very confident that the con-
stitutionality of the law will stand.
Max Stern of Fargo, the plaintiff in
the case, through his attorneys alleges
that the bonding act violates various
provisions Of the constitution Of the
state. His contention broadly is that
the state is engaging In private busi-
ness and that the bonding department
will tend to discriminate among class
es and deprive certain individuals OF
their right without due process of
law.
+ Attorney General Miller who is con-
ductifg the case ON behalf of the
bonding department hopes to be able
to convince the court that the law is
constitutional, If not some legal steps
will be taken to afford relief from
the combination which evidently ex-
lists among the security and fidelity
