How to Detect the
Alum Baking Powder

(Which are the alum baking powders;
how can avoid them unless they are nameda"
asks housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can Of low
priced powder in your hand and read the
ingredient clause upon the back label. The
lawrequires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated If you find
one Of the ingredients named alum, or sui
phate Of aluminium. you have found an alum
baking ponder
There is another and better way. You
don't have to know the names Of the alum
powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only;
that assures you a cream Of tartar powder,
and the purest and most hcalthful baking
powder beyond question.

4 tell you frankly my interest

portant matter of affording far

kets as they need for economic
benefit, but is also the interest
IN weaving as complicated and
elaborate a net of neighborhood
and state and national opinion
together as it is possible to
weave. 1t is Of the most funda-
mental Importance that the u
nlted States should think in big
pieces, should think together, /
should think ultimately as a

the request of J. NJ Thomas,

Governor Geo. w. Hays will soon
issue a proclamation setting a.
side TWO days early in Septem-

Governor Proposes Sewer Sys-

opeCldl W lnQtpenQenI.
Little Rock, Aug. 16.-Before
the end of the coming week
Gov. G. W. Hays will make a
visit to the State Farm at Cum
minis, for the purpose of &C.
quainting himself with the
States possessions.
From what | have been able
to learn stated the governor
Friday afternoon, "Arkansas
has the finest plantation in the
state. | have also been inform
ed that there are some things
necessary to make it the model
farm of the South. One of
these is sanitation, and if it is
possible to secure that, we are
going to have it.
"The state law will not per-
NIT the commissioners to Gre
ate a defciency-or in other
words, the penitentiary must
be self supporting. There is
now no money for the making
of improvements at the farm,
but when the crop begins to
move, the present Indebtedness
for supplies will be wiped out
in a hurry, and we can then
spend something for proper SAN
itation.
"While on the farm | will
make an estimate Of the cost
of a sewerage system, also of
a small lighting plant, and a
pumping station which will give
adequate fire protection, as well
as operate the sewerage sys-
tenn.
eff the commission has the
money to spare, l will recon-
mend the erection Of new and
sanitary stockades. 1t is my
desire to reduce the rate of
sickness at the farm, for a sick
convict cannot work, and the
state thereby loses as he be-
comes an expense, instead OF a
producer. It is economy to
build stockades where the con-
victs will be comfortable, so
they can rest we'll at night, and
feel refreshed and like work.
ing next day. A satisfied man
is a better worker than one who
has a grievance, especially If he
feels he has been abused in re-
gard to his accommodations.

farm l expect to have inforna-
ton which will lead to many I'M
provements there
