A Lesson from the Past

Years ago, before baking pow
ders we're 80 we'll known, the
housewife sonnet ines made her own
from cream of tartar and soda.
These materials we're then
comparatively expensive and pro-
cesses of refining had not been
devised to bring them to the high
state of purity of the present.
day we'll known cream of tartar
baking powders such as Dr. Price IS;
and yet she never thought of
buying alum, then as now a cheap
and inferior substitute for cream
of tartar. She wouldn't think of
permitting an ounce Of alum to
enter her kitchen.
Yet housekeepers are to-day
asked to buy alum baking powders
with which to make food for their
children.
The statement on the label af-
fixed to every can naming the
ingredi ents of which the baking
powder is composed affords a
method of protection against the
use of undesirable kinds.

 The appalling death-rate from kid ney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms often give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer may slip gradually into some serious form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, head aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre- tions are irregular of passage and un- natural in appearance, do not delay. Help the Kidneys at once.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for kidney disorders they act where others fail. Over one hundred thous- and people have recommended them

< QUESTION AND TIE ANSWER

A queston for the Solid South l Under what Republican chief
 m glst1ate wa the cotton indus
 try so depressed as it is at the ! present time?- St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 The administration of William McKinly.
 MT. McKinly took office on March 4,1897. The South's l896- 97 cotion crop brought an aver age price of 7.62 cents in New York. The first crop marketed during his administration brought 6.22 cents, the record low price up to that time, However. the next crop, that of 1S98-99, estab- lished another low record of 6 ceuts. These prices represent general averages in New York thr6ughout Ire year. Some cGt- ton sold as low as 4 cents in the South. The next crop was small CT in size and prices began to get firmer. But the average price re- ceived during the four years of the Mckinley administration was TAT cents, compared with 7,51 cents for the four yolrs of the Cleveland administration.
 Cotton is now selling in New York at almost Scents and the price is slowly growing stronger, in the face of the greatest crop production in the. history of the South and with shipping facilit- les handicapped as they have never. before been since the Civil War. -Gayzette.

A bill to reduce the legal rate of interest from 10 to s per cent has been introduced by Mir. Buchanan of Wasl,- ington, who makes the following argu. ment in support of it: Arkansas has reached such point fin the solidity c; its securities as to warrant reduc. tion in the high rate of interest nov, prevailing. There was time, just ; there is with all new states, in which 2 10 per cent interest rate was justj- fable. This stage, however, has pass ed. No state has resources or seeuri- ties that have been more thoroughly tested than Arkansas We pledge St. curity that is as good as that in Mas, sachusetts or any other state. We ought to be compensated for this by a similar rate on loans."

and want of food. His wife, always
frail, soon became a hopeless invalid.

her services as a teacher. Almost a

to scores of desperately frightened

village was installed in a barn beyond
