False Economy

Perhaps you use an alum baking
powder because you think it is
cheaper and therefore more eco
nomioa1. But is it?
Leading food experts and medt-
cal authorities have for years
declared that alum baking powders
are not safe to be used. The
chief European nations prohibit
them altogether.
Can It be truthfu11y said that
an article Of food so generally
condemned is economical at any
price?
Royal Baking Powder, which is
made from cream Of tartar, adds
only healthful qualities to the
food.
The difference in cost Of a
pan Of biscuits or Of cake made
with Royal Baking Powder as CON-
pared with cheap alum or phos-
phate Of lime powders is about one
cent, which is surely too small an
amount to warrant the risk.

Here is the Law.


little bit of the law providing
for the building of good roads,
and along with it we are going
to suggest that it will be much
better to 60 ahead and build
good roads now than to wait for
the law to be enforced. IT a
waiting policy is to be engaged
in, some fellows who are in fav.
or of good roads are going to
get out and circulate petitions,
and you know it is a very easy
matter to get petitions signed.
Well, here is the law; you can
see that it is a very easy matter,
even in Kansas, to have good
roads if the people want them:
"Where sixty per cent of the
land owners along the lines OF
any regularly laid out road, who
shall own at least fifty per cent
of the land to be taxed, within
such distance as shall be stated
in the petition, on each side OF
the road, shall petition the
Board of County Commissioners
for improvement of the road, the
Board of County Commissioners
have power to cause the road to
be imp proved as prayed for in the
petition if the Board finds and
declares the same to be a public
utility. provided the cost of the
same is in excess of $50O.00 per
mile. The petition must state
the name of the road to be inn
proved, the points between which
the improvements are to be
made, the kind of improvements
desired, and the number OF an.
nual assessments to be made in
payment thereof, not exceeding
ten. Upon the fling of the pc
tition the Board shall cause the
County Surveyor, or some en-
gineer, to make an estimate OF
the cost of the improvement and
make a profile and specifications
thereof and a map showing the
several tracts of land within
such distance as shall be stated
in the petition. The County
Commissioners shall take charge
If and conduct the improvement
in conformity with the profile
and specifications, and shall be
authorized and empowered to
make contracts for doing the
work required in making such
Improvement and in payment for
work so done, or for any mater
ialS furnished for the same, the
commissioners shall issue special
Improvement bonds, payable
within the times mentioned in
he petition, bearing interest at
he rate of six per cent or less
yer aRnum, such contracts to be
ct to the lowest responsible bid
Ter. Upon the completion of the
Improvement the County Com.
nissioners shall apportion three.
fourths of the costs of the road
among the several tracts of land
lesiguated in the map, according
10 the benefits accruing to the
real property and improvements
within the limits shown by the
nap, and in making such ap'
,ortionment credit for damages
lccasioned to the property
through which any improvements
ire made shall be allowed. The
re naming one-fourth of such
'osts shall be charged to the
'ownship or townships in
which the road improvements
are made, and the money there
or shall be raised by taxes as
low raised for township pur.
roses. Donations may be re-
:eived and applied on the i'm.

poses to run motor buses having
a capacity of forty passengers
each. He claims such a system
can be operated very much cheap
er than electric cars can, and that
ten miles of such road can be
built for a whole lot less money
than one mile of electric road
The concrete strips would Of
course have grooves in them to
hold the wheels IN place. He
would also build switches and
turu-outs. The project Is novel,

years before the Christian era The
ancient Egyptians knew the hog and
this animal is depicted on their mon

hog was prohibited by the Jews as It
was considered that in hot countries

hog was unknown in America until in.

into account that the ordinary female
