MARIAN COLE FISHER A National Authority on the Subject of PURE
 FOODS and the ART OF COOKING.

I'll sn interview on baking powder, Marian Cole Fisher, Chautauqua lec- turer and at that time special chairman or the Saint Paul Housewives' League and an active member, stated az fol- lows:
 T find many. in fact, very many, women woefully uniformed on the sub lect Of baking powder. Evidently the housewife does not appreciate the value of baking powder in her kitchen and in her baking, or she would have informed herself This is a. subject that Is quite important.
 "A great many of the housewives today have followed their mothers or grandmothers in the use of baking DOW der, which in some instances Is a mis- take. There has been just as mucl im- provement in baking powder as in other commodities. l am glad to find that baking powder has Kept up with the times
 Some housewives have been led to believe that the cream of tartar pow ders are the best goods to use. This is mistake, resulting no doubt from the constant efforts of the Twenty Million Dollar Baking Powder Trust to create 2 prejudice against all goods save their own. Their goods should be least de- eirable on account of the large ouanti- ties of Rochelle Salts remaining in the food.
 "The other extreme is the cheap and Big Can baking powders. which sell all the way from ten cents pound to a

 While the bargain rate this year is s5.75 for 565 days slight increase over that of last year. occasioned by the increase in the cost of white paper. the value of The Republican as news medium has increased many fold within the past twelve months. Today it carries full Associated Press Leased Wire service, being the first paper in Arizona to have it's exclusive wire. It's local news columns are bright, breezy and interesting. It is a paper that becomes a welcome visi tor once a reader becomes acquainted
 One of the surprising features of the campaign has been the sale of volumes and of the Parish History of Arizona in connection with The Republican. T. vas expected that the reduced price of the history in con- nection with The Republicans bargain offer would be attractive but it was not imagined that the demand for the combination would be so great.

BERLIN. Jan. 5.-(By wireless fo SayYilie)-The larger part of the forces or the central powers which have been lighting in the Dobrudja now are free Tor other employment and any Russian plan to reach Constantinople by going through the Dobrudja can be consid cred to have ia led, writes the militar, critic of the Overseas News agency in reviewing the military situation. The critic says:
 JiJila and Matohin where the Rus sians offered desperate resistance, have been stormed by Germany and Bulgar- ran troops and the fragments of the de- feated Russian units have been driven into neck of land three kilometers wide and eight kilometers long when only one road leads to the Danube Be- cause of the lakes and swampy ground in this district all further resistance must be considered hopeless.
 By this last victory all of the Dob rudja aggregating 1000 square kilo- metres has fallen into the hands of the central powers. The troops under Gen eral Sahkaroff and the rapidly concen- trated cavalry divisions. after n little more than fortnight of bloody battle have been driven northward a distance or seventy kilometres and beyond the Danube by the irresistible Bulgarian, Turkish and German troops
 defense of the Dobrudja against new Russian eruption is easy since on the north it is covered by the broad swampy district of the lower Danube and on the east by the Danube delta and the Black Sea
 Any Russian plan to obtain Constan- tinople on the road through the Dob rudJa can be said to have failed for ever. The larger part of the forces of the central powers in Dobrud1a are now free for other employment

The visitor who looks into the Grand Canyon from the vicinity of Fl Fovar may, when the first overpow- sring impressions give place to par .icular observations, note the great series of nearly horizontal rock ayers whose varied colors and cyclopean ,arving give beauty to what might otherwise be a gloomy and terrifying g tight.
