Years ago, before baking pow

These materials were then
comparatively expensive and pro-
cesses Of refining had not been
devised to bring them to the high
state Of purity Of the present.

baking powders, such as Royal;
and yet she never thought Of
buying alum, then as now cheap
and inferior subs tute for cream
of tartar. She wouldn't think of
permittin an ounce of alum to
enter her kitchen.
Yet housekeepers are to-day
asked to buy alum baking powders
with viii ch to make food for their

fixed to every can naming the
Ingredients of which the baking

LONDON. December 22.--Swias resi-

Accordingly, petition is now, being

styled dangerous excesses of some
Swiss newspapers. u-
The resolution says that in n free

the future the newspapers in question
will endeavor to cultivate more the

making comments which could offend
any of the belligerent powers"
Those circulating the petition are

CUTTER TO SAIL
TOR NOVA SCOTIA COAST
Androscoggin, With Surgeon and
Medical Supplies Aboard, to Care
for Sick Fishermen.

On her mission to look after the sick
seamen of the American fishing feet
working in the north Atlantic, tho rev.
enut cutter Androscoggin will today
sail from Boston for the coast Of Nova
Scotia, where the fishing feet 10 now
engaged in catching halibut and had
dock for the American market.
The recent high prices and scarcity
of meat have added considerably to the
Importance Of the fisheries, and it is
hoped by this step Of the federal gov
ernment to ameliorate, to as large an
extent as possible, the hardships Of
these hardy fishermen, who must brave
midwinter exposure in the north Attain
tic.
Medical Officer Aboard.
The medical department of the cutter
will be in charge of a commissioned Of
ficer of the public health service, who
will have the necessary assistants for
the prompt relief of all deep-sea fish
ermen who may be found to be suffer-
ing from physical ailments of any kind.
Up to the present time the United
States has practically been the only
one of the leading maritime nations
to their men engaged in the off-shore
fisheries.
The Androscoggin will later in the
season follow the fishing vessels to the
Grand Banks and in the spring will
come to the New England coast with
them.

Under orders from the Treasury De-
partment, which has control of the

health service. In the rescue work Of
revenue cutter service along the Attain
tic coast shipwrecked crews and sail
ors who have become frost-bitten or
otherwise injured are found in need of
prompt medical attendance. Hereto
fore it has frequently been necessary
to transport suffering seamen long dis
tances to marine hospitals for treat
ment, where much suffering could have
been alleviated by prompt attention az
soon as the revenue cutters fall in with

KEYSTONE WATCH firm
NOT TRUST, IS DECISION
Federal Court, However, Adjudges
Boycotting and Blacklisting
to Be Unlawful.

PHILADELPHIA, January 2.-The
United States district court today de-
cided that the Keystone Watch Case
Company Is not a combination in vio-
lation Of the federal antitrust law.
but declared that its alleged policy of
boycotting is a direct violation of the
law and should be enjoined. The Key
stone Watch Case Company controls
a large percentage of the filled watch
case business of the country.
The Keystone company has absorbed
several large watch case manufactur-
ing concerns in various parts of the
country and has taken over the COM
pany which makes the Howard watch.
The court in Its decision stated that
there was nothing unlawful in the ope-
ration of the Keystone company and
chat 1t had not acquired plants by i'm
proper methods
The court declared, however, that it
lound evidences that the company
showed a definite purpose to restrain
lain prices by using species OF boy
colt or blacklisting in order to lessen
the trade of its rivals
Issued Circular.
In 1910, the court said, the company
issued a circular to its customers fix
ing certain prices of the several va
rieties of cases it manufactured, and
also of the Howard watch, the NAL king
of which it controlled. The company,
according to the circular. reserved the
right to refuse to sell goods to job
bers if its rules regarding prices were
violated.
The court declared that this circular
was not a request, but a threat, and
not an empty threat, but a real menace
from a strong manufacturer" and u
direct and unlawful restraint or
trade"
With regard to the Howard watch,
the court declared that owing to GER
tain patent rights the Keystone COM
pany had the right to make an agree
ment with Jobbers whereby a minimum
price was fixed at which the 5obber
might sell. but it had no right to
control the retailers price.
