SCIENCE INVENTION,
Stove Coal In Demand.

Stove and chestnut sizes Of anthra-
cite coal are in the greatest demand
and make up over 40 per cent of the
total shipments from the mines. They
are essentially domestic sizes, and the
relatively large proportion they make
of the shipments serves as an index to
the conditions governing the anthracite
trade. Egg coal finds its way princi-
pally to the furnaces OF residences
and pea coal is used in the same way
TO some extent, though it is also used
for kitchen ranges, and some of 1t goes
with the buckwheat and smaller sizes
for use as steam coal. The same sizes
come directly into competition with
bituminous coal and are sometimes
used mixed with bituminous coal Tor
generating steam, chiefly in hotels

Two Different Effects

The quality Of food is very
largely determined by the IN
gredi ents in the baking powder
with which it is made. Cream Of
tartar baking powders, such as
Royal, add only healthfu1 quail
ties to the food.
The cream of tartar Of Royal
Baking Powder as used in food has
the same wholesome effect on the
digestive system as the cream or
tartar in grapes, from which It IS
derived.
On the other hand, it is in
evidence that obi ect ionable min

with alum or phosphate baking
powders.

HUNT BEING MADE FOR
CORNELIUS VOORHEES,

Jennings, Okla, March ia sys-
tematized hunt, under the direction
of Sheriff Charles Weber of this
county, started yesterday in an ef-
fort to find Cornelius Voorhees,, the
aged bachelor farmer who myster-
iously disappeared from his farm,
eight miles northwest of Jennings,
on February %. The officers :ully
expect to find the dead body of Vor-
hees concealed in a brush pile or
canyon, somewhere between Voorhees,
farm and the Cimarron river. It Is
believed now that Vorhees was mur-
dered after being robbed.
The team which Voorhees, is sup
posed to have driven the day he dis
appeared from home has been found
in livery barn in Cushing by Sheriff
Weber. He has secured also a good
description of the man, not Voorhees,,
who left the team and later paid the
livery bill. This man took the team
out of the barn, saying he would drive
to Drumright, but returned soon af-
terward, saying the roads were too
bad and that he would walk to Drum
right. He has not since been seen,
the team remaining in the barn since
that time
The officials now believe that Vor-
hees was murdered on his farm by
some stranger, perhaps whom he
had accommodated with a nights
lodging, and that his dead body was
hauled away and hidden somewhere
in the vicinity of the Cimarron riv-
er. 1t is reported that Vorhees drew
s34O from the Maramec bank the
day before he disappeared.

London, March 19.-The next i'm

it is believed, will take place along
the User, held on one side by the
recently reorganized Belgian army,
and on the other by the Germans.
AS the foods have subsided, the
Belgians, supported by the warships
of the allies, already have pushed
their line slightly forward, and this
is almost certain to lead to counter
attacks by the Germans and a gen.
eral engagement, as has been the
case when similar movements wers
initiated elsewhere along the front.
An artillery duel, in the way of
preparation, has commenced.

KNIGHTS Of

BANQUET SOON
CONTEST OF TWO TEAMS CLOSED
LAST NIGHT - CAPTAIN La
THROP AND HIS ARMY DEFEAT.
ED BY CAPTAIN SMITH.

The spirited contest which has
been going on for several weeks. be-
tween the teams composed of the
membership of the lodge came to
a close last night, and after the
points had all been registered it was
found that the team headed by Cap
tam Smith had won with a total of
427 IL to Lathrop's team with a to-
tai of 3i3 points.
The contest has been the means of
stirring up a great deal of interest
in the lodge, and has added material
ly to its membership. Myrtle lodge
is now recognized as one of the livest
ones in the state and has made great
er gains so far this year than any
other lodge in the domain.
The financial affairs of the lodge
are in fine condition. The lodge
owns its lodge room, has a fine club
room. in connection with billiard
and pool tables. and is otherwise we'll
equipped, and takes great interest in
looking after the interests of its
members.
The vanquished team last night
held a meeting Immediately after the
lodge adjourned, appointed finance

The contest for the spur of Notre
Dame de Lore-te is still in progress,
and, according to Berlin, further at
tempts of the French to advance in
Champagne, where they captured an
important ridge north of lie Mesnil,
have been repulsed. The fighting in
the Argonne forest and the Vosges
has slackened somewhat, owing. no
doubt, to the return of wintry wealth
er conditions.
There is little news from the east
ern front, and beyond the fact that
: the Russians again have crossed the
east Prussian front in the far north
east, near Tilsit and that they are
continuing their offensive against the
Austrians in Bukowina, there is no
change in the situation.
There is a temporary lull in the
bombardment of the Dardanelles and
Smyrna, according to an Athens dis
patch, which gives no reasons for
this, but it was thought to be due to
unfavorable weather conditions. The
Turks are taking advantage of this
to repair, as far as possible, the
damage done to the forts and batter
les. and they express confidence,
which is shared by the German field
marshal, Baron Won der Goltz, that
the straits are impenetrable
The belief is held here, however.
that as soon as the ships receive
fresh supplies of ammunition they
will resume the attack with even
greater force
The conference between the gov
ernment and labor leaders to arrange
for the acceleration of the output of
war munitions have continued in Lon
don today and adjourned until to-
morrow, to complete the agreement
which has been arranged. The la
borites are DESTROYS of making cer-
tain that the arrangements entered
into now will not prejudicially affect
the workers after the war is con-
cluded.
The outer forts of Przemsyl, toward
which a part of the Austrian army
has been struggling in an effort to
bring about the relief of the besieged
garrison, have at last fallen before
the Russians, according to unofficial
reports reaching London.
Although confirmation is quite
lacking, British newspapers this
morning are apparently eager to re-
gard the report is not improbable.
