WORTH REMEMDERINQ. There are three entirely different Jilnds of Ingredient used In making the three different varlotlos of baking powders on tho markot, vl: (1) Mineral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bono-Acid or Phosphato, and (3) Croam of Tartar made from gropes. It is importnnt, from tho standpoint of health, to know something about thoso ingredi ents, and which kind Js used in your baking powdor. (1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, Is mado from a kind of clay. This Is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and from this solution a product is obtained which Is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two conls a pound, and baking powdor made with this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to 25c. a pound. (2) Bono-Acid, or Phosphnto, Is tho bnsls of phosphato linking powders and the process is fully described in tho patents Iseued to a largo manufac turer of a phosphate powder. Tho U. S. Patent Office Report gives a full nrtd exact description, but tho follow ing extract Is enough: "Burned bones, after being ground, nro put into freshly diluted oil of vit riol and with continual stirring and In tho following proportion," etc. From this Bono-Acid phosphato bak ing powdors nro made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound. (3) Croam of Tartar exists In nil rlpo grnpes, and flows with tho Juice from the press In Uto manufacture of wine. After tho wine Is drawn off tho tartar Is scraped from tho cask, boil ed with water, nnd crystals of Cream of Tartnr, white and very puro, sepa rate and are collected. It differs in no respect from tho form In which It originally existed In tho grapo. Cream of Tartnr, then, while tho most oxpon slve, Is tho only Ingredient that should ho used In a baking powder to act upon tho soda, ns Its wholesome ncss Is beyond question. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound. Such aro tho facts, nnd overy ono, careful of tho health of the family,' should remember this rule: Baking powders selling from 10 to 25 cents n pound are mado of Mlnoral-Aclds; those selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bono-Acid; and thoso from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar mado from grapes.

Don't forgot thnt tho money you Intend to Bavo is not drawing inter est at the present writing. Don't worry nbout trifles. Remem ber tho hole that lets tho water in your shoe will let it out again. Don't imagine that overy sad-eyed woman you meet has loved and lost. It's more than likely sho loved and got him. Don't censure a society womnn for cnter'ng tho theater a llttlo late.

It is always harder to patch up a quarrel than to mako a now ono. Conscience is n still, small volco that tolls us when wo arc found out. Tho only spilled milk worth crying aver is the milk of human kindness. We are novcr too old to learn, but lots of us nro too young to realize It. Tho troublo with tombstone inscrip tions is that they come too lato to flatter us. I know a man who occasionally, In n fit of absent-mindedness, tells tho truth, but ho always tries to Ho out of it afterward. Sexes In Mutual Die-trust. The sexos'Just now take up towards onch other an attltudo of mutual dis trust; wo women don't trust men fur ther than we can see thorn, nor they us.

THE NEWS IN AS TO OTOCKMEN'8 PA88ES The Court Adheres to Its Former Judgment. Tho supremo court has adhered to Its former Judgment In tho caso of tho C. B. & Q. 11. R. company ngalnst David C. Troyer, error from Hamilton county, Judgo Barnes dissenting. Troyor whllo traveling on a stock shipper's pass sustained personal in juries. In tho lower court Judgment was given ngalnst tho railroad. Tho supremo court holds that under tho ovldcnco tho question of tho alleged negligence of tho company was a mat ter for tho court to dotermlne and tho ovldcnco is sufficient to warrant n finding that tho defendant company was guilty of actionablo negligence which was tho approximate cause of tho Injury complained of. Tho court cayB that It cannot bo said as a mat ter of law that tho plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence bo ns to procludo ft recovery. Tho court holds that a person whllo trawling on a frolght train on a stock shipper's pass for tho purposo of attending to tho llvo stock being shipped sustains tho relation of tho carrier of passenger, but In a restricted modified scnBO. Such a porson whllo bo traveling as sumes such risks nnd inconveniences as necessarily attend upon caring for bucIi stock and such as aro incident to tho means and methods employed by tho company In tho operation of its freight trains. Judgo Barnes dissenting says that tho plaintiff's right to rccovor depend upon actionablo negllgonco upon tho part of tho company and ns ho reads tho record finds no such ncgllgeuco is shown. Tho plaintiff was walking in order to reach tho cabooso at tho end of a frolght train and was struck by a switch englno on an adjacent track. Judgo Barnes says tho fact was clear ly established that tho space botweon tho railroad tracks whero tho plaintiff was walking was wldo enough for his safo passago If ho had exercised or dinary caro.

In his testimony beforo the senato ., committee on interstate commerce at Washington on May 4, Prof. Hugo It. Meyer of the Chicago university, nn expert on railroad management, mado this statement: "Let us look at what might have happened If wo had heeded tho pro tests of the farmers of New York nnd Ohio and Pennsylvania (in tho 70's, when grain from the west began pour ing to the Atlantic seaboard), and acted upon tho doctrine which the in terstate, commerce commission has enunciated timo and ngainr that no man may bo deprived of tho ad vantages accruing to him by vlrtuo of his geographical position. Wo could not havo west of tho Mississippi a population of millions of peoplo who aro prosperous and aro great con sumers. Wo never should have seen tho years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of .railway, for thero would havo been no farmers west of tho Mississippi river who could havo used thoMand that would havo been opened up by tho building of thoso railways. And if wo had not seen tho years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, wo should not havo today east of tho Mississippi a steel and Iron produc ing center, which is at once the mar vel and tho despair of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and Iron Industry If thero had been no markot for Its product. Wo pould not have In New England a great boot and shoo Industry; wo could not havo in New England a great cotton milling Industry; wo could not havo spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio man ufacturing industries of the most di versified kinds, because thoso Indus tries would have no markot among the farmers west of tho Mississippi rl er. And whllo tho progress of this country, while tho development of tho agricultural west of this country, did mean tho Impairment of tho ag ricultural value cast of tho Mississippi river, that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant incident ally the building up of great manu facturing industries that added to tho value of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things wero not foreseen In tho '70's. Tho statesmen and tho public men of this country did not seo what part the agricultural development of the west was going to play In tho in dustrial development of the cast. And you may read tho decisions of tho Interstate commerce commission from the first to the last, and what Is ono of tho greatest characteristics of thoso decisions? Tho continued inability to see the question in this large way. Tho Interstate commerce commis sion never can see anything moro than that the farm land of some farm er is decreasing In value, or that somo man who has a flour mill with a pro duction of fifty barrels a day is be ing crowded out It never can seo that tho destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means tho building up of farm values In that ' place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the indus trial and manufacturing development of this country. And if wo shall glvo to tho interstate commerce commis sion power to regulate rates, wo shall no longer have our -rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they havo been regulated in tho past by tho railway men, who really havo been great statesmen, who really havo been great builders of empires, who havo had an imagination that rivals tho Imagination of tho greatest poet and of the gioatest Inventor, nnd who havo operated with a courage and dar ing that rivals the courago and dar ing of the greatest military genoral. But wo shall havo our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureau crats, whoso besetting sin tho world over is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way and with tho grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they aro confronted with a small evil; that that evil Is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creatlou of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than tho ono that is to be corrected." Wealth may not bring happiness, but most of us think we could get next to it if we had tho money. More Flexible and Lasting, won't shake out or blow out; by using Defiance Starch you obtain better re sults than possible with"" any other brand, and one-third more for same money.
