From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (bisrv.it) was made
with each of three different kinds of baAing powder
cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of time.
The relative percentage of the food digested is
shown as follows:
Bread made with
Royal Cream cf Tartar Powder:

Bread made with
phosphate powder:
681 Per Cent Digested
Bread made with
alum powder:

These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.

From Tuesday's Dauy.
The death yesterday at Los
ngeles, California, of R. C. Cubb
ing-, removed a man who was
prominently identified with the
business and political life of
1'laLlsmouth in earlier days and
who was known throughout the
stale, as he was engaged ex
tensively in the railroad contract
ing business. Mr. Gushing dur
ing the lime he was here served as
l member of tbt! city council and
was one ol tne direciors ol trie
First National hank while John
itzgerald served as president.
and was also an active member
of the Hoard of Trade in this city.
The Omaha Dee gives the follow
ing account of his death:
"R. C. Gushing, former mayor
of Omaha, died yesterday at Los
Angeles, after an illness jf six
weeks. Mr. Gushing left Omaha
in 189 i, going lo Chicago, Kansas
City and Cheyenne and other
places where his contracting busi
ness called him. Miss Elizabeth
O'Keefe and Mrs. J. J. Fitzgerald,
sisters of Mrs. Gushing, arc now
on the way to Los Angeles.
Mr. Gushing was born De
cember 23, 1813, at Rochester, N.
Y. When he was 11 years of age
bis parents removed lo I'ortage
City, Wis., where he attended
school, graduating with honor.
His parents being poor he sought
md found employment as a school
teacher, which position ho held
until the civil war broke out,
when, at the age of 21, he entered
the army and was assigned to duty
in the quartermaster's depart
ment. He began at the bottom of
tin' ladder and by his ability and
lerling worth was soon promoted
to the position of chief clerk of
that department. He remained in
the service of the government, un
til 1808.
'lie was nominated for the
islature by the democracy of
Douglas county, and was elected
by the largest majority of auv
man on his ticket, lie bad never
sought ollice, the nomination for
ioIIi positions having been ten
dered him by a unanimous vote of
conventions of his fellow
citizens. Mr. Gushing was a
linn of Mai lory,
railroad contrac-
memiier ol I In
Gushing & Co.,
ors.
"At the lime
by General U.
of his retirement
S. Grant he oc
cupied the responsible position of
post superintendent at Fort Mor
gan, Colo. After retiring from the
iriny he settled at Plattsmouth,
where for fifteen years he was the
moving spirit in the growth and
enterprise of that thriving city.
He was for ten years a member of
the city council of that city, and
was elected president of that body
several times. Mr. Gushing was
well known (o the great armv of
railroad men in the west, ho hav
ing been engaged in the con
struct ion of railroads for many
years.
"His line business education
fitted him eminently for the chief
executive chair of a great and
growing city like Oamha. His
nominal ion for the mayoralty
gave every railway man in Omaha
a chance lo cast a vote for a true
friend of the fraternity, and judg
ing by the niagnitlcent majority
he received when he was elected to
the ollice which he tilled they all
accepted the chance."

A BILL 10 PRO
TEGTTAXPAYEfi
The Adoption of Senator Smith's
Bill Will Be a Great Help
to the Taxpayers.
From Tuos'lnv'H Daily.
The following from the Lincoln
Stale Journal gives the
of the death of a former Cass
county citizen at his home in that
city:
Daniel Eells, 73 years old, died
at 1 a. m. Monday. He was a vet
eran of the civil war, a member
of the (1. A. It., the General Custer
Circle and the Knights of Pythias.
Mr. Eells moved to Lincoln from
Elmwood, Neb., in 1909. Funeral
services will be held at 11 a. in.
Tuesday at tho residence, .i3
North Twenty-second street. The
G. A. II. will have charge of the
services. Mr. Eells is survived by
four children: ft. 1). Eells, Her
bert Eells, Mrs. J. Eidmann and
Anna Eells.
Senator V. 11. Smith sends the
Journal the following explanation
of the bridge bill which has al
ready passed the senate and is
now up to I he house. It is de
stined to be of great benelit. to
the taxpayers in every county in
the slate alike, in Hit; way of pro
tecting them against, the bridge
grafters:
Senate File No. i'.l, now pending
before the legislature, is a bill
providing for uniform plans and
specifications for all bridges to
be built by the various counties
of the stale, and is being so
strongly opposed by the interests
that would be directly affected
that, it is desired lo apprise the
public of its main provisions,
these being as follows:
First The bill provides for
uniform plans and specifications,
these Lo be prepared by the slate
engineer. The plans for a Ihirly
foot bridge lo be built in Gage
county need be no different, than
those prepared for a bridge of the
same size in I'oyd county, since
there is a stale law defining the
carrying capacity of all bridges.
Hut under the system in vogue at
present in many cminlies the
plans of some certain bridge com
pany are adopted, and by adopting
these plans the company in ipies
lion is thus given a decided ad
vantage over all competitors in
the mailer of bidding. My adopt-
accottnt' ' uniform plans prepared by a
disinterested party one bidder
would stand an etpial show with
another.
Second Uniform bidding
blanks. Under I he provisions of
this bill it would be necessary for
all bids to be tiled on uniform
blanks, so that it could be determ
ined at a glance which bid was
the lowest.
Third The county boards
would bo required to transmit lo
the slate engineer statements
showing the cost of all bridges

LOUISVILLE COUPLE WILL
BE MARRIED TOMORROW
From Tuesday's Dally.
County Judge Meeson yester
day afternoon granted a permit
to wed to Louis Meter J. Roeber,
aged 23, and Miss Evaline Mable
Slander, aged 20, both of Louis
ville. The young people will be
married tomorrow al the home of
Ihe bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs
Henry Slander, near Louisville.
The wedding will be a simple
home affair, there being only tin
jmmcdiuto family of the parties
present. These young people are
among the most prominent in
their locality and their wedding
will bring two of the leading fam
ilies in that section into alliance.
The young people will reside in
Ihe future on the farm of the
groom, near Louisville.
built in the county during the pre
ceding year. If Johnson county
should build a thirty-foot bridge
in 1913, and Hitchcock county de
sired lo build one of the same size
in 1915, the county board in the
latter county could obtain from
the state engineer definite in
formation as to the cost of a
bridge of that size, by simply
writing to the stale engineer, ami
it could thus be determined
whether or not the bids for the
new structure in the laller cous
ly were too high.
Foiirth-Tlte bill provides that
the state engineer shall, if called
upon by the county board so to
do, check the work when com
pleted. A duplicate set of plans for all
Ihe bridges the average Nebraska
county might need, would not cost
to exceed .$10.
It is apparent why the bridge
companies which have succeeded
in having their own plans adopt
ed in various counties should
object to this bill. It is also ap
parent why they should object lo
bidding on uniform blanks, as
well as to that provision of the
bill which requires the cost of all
bridges fo be reported to the state
engineer where it would be ac
cessible to all other counties
which might desire to build sim
ilar bridges in the future, ft is
apparent. I say, why the bridge
companies should object to these
feat tires and remain on the
ground to oppose their enactment,
into law. Hut f am at a loss to
understand why some other
parties should come to Lincoln
from distant sections of the stale
come at their own expense,
presume, and remain hen; ii
their own expense for several
days just for the privilege ef
opposing the passage of this bill,
which, by the way, went throujri
the senate with but five voles
against it, and is now up for cos
sideration in Ihe house.
