0 Comparative Digestibility of Food Made Willi diilcrenl Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) 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 of Tartar Powder; flOO Per Cent Digested Bread made with phosphate powder: feS1 Per Cent Digested Bread made with alum powder: 67 Per Cent Digested 1 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.

The contracting llrni are clearing away a great deal of the underbrush that is on the south part of the range on Ihe east side of the track and putting it in shape for the placing of the butts, which will be put up as soon as the ground can be put in condition. The butts will be placed at 1,000, 800, COO, '.00 and 200 yards, and arranged in such a manner that all the targets can be used at the same time with perfect safety and will make the range much more practical for the use of the soldiers. The range house or office is being erected on the government land west of the track and will be used by the commander of the post, as well as the commissary department. The improvements outlined for Ihe range in the future will by ipiite extensive, as part will be done each year to put Ihe range in as line condition as any in the west, and il will only be a question of lime until the camp ground is nicely parked and laid out wilh walks, making it a place of great beauty, and as it is situated on one of the large hills, it will make a very handsome ap pearance and be the niecca for visitors in the summer season. From the camp grounds a line view can be had of the rifle range and the soldiers at their practice shooting. The work of. making these im provements will take up several mouths before they are completed and ready to turn over to the gov ernment ollicer-s who are super vising the work, and we want to stale here that Mr. Blair, who is at present in charge, is a very polite and genial gentleman and he is very courteous to the visit ors at the range, as was the olllc ers in charge of the range last year. r There is a matter that should be taken up by the Coinercial club and the citizens here, and that is the securing of Ihe slate militia encampment and target practice this year, and the proper rep resentations should be made to (leneral Hall fo bring Ihe militia to this city for practice, ay about the llrst of August, and have them camp at Ihe range for the work of target shooting. This city has splendid railroad connections and are in touch with the outside world at almost any hour of the day, and the range is located in isy walking distance of the city and possesses all the require ments for an ideal gathering place for the citizen soldiers. The soldiers from Fort Crook are in Texas at present, and from all in dications they will remain there all summer and the slate militia could have full use of the splen did range.
