    AN IMMENSE NEW INDUSTRIAL PLANT FOR CHICAGO
. n£eP completed, the new plant of
the Calumet Baking Powder Company,
now under course of construction, at
i>outb 4i8t avenue and Fillmore
street, will prove a fitting monument
to the ability, honesty and progres
siveness which have rendered possi
ble the tremendous grow th of one of
Chicago s most prominent industrial
institutions.
This immense plant, the estimated
cost of which is $250,000, is a strictly
modern five-story and basement, fire
proof, re-enforced concrete building.

One night last week papa got home
late. There had been so many things
to attend to at the office—and after
that a customer from out of town had
arrived, and—well, papa got home
■ aw’fully late. He hated to disturb the
' family, so he camped in the dining
room. And in the morning, being thirs
ty. he arose, drank water, and retired
under the table again.
Then came his little son, the earliest
to arise. Little son viewed the situa
tion in the dining room, then lifted up
his voice and wept.
“What's the matter?" groaned papa
You've gone and drank up all the

“Yes, but who's goin' to put fresh

Then papa sat up and took notice.—

Remington, lying face downward on
the operating table, presented a sky

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.
Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof
iee are often the cause of the cloudi
ness, and that there is a simple wry
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper
ience and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, I have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last -’a
years I would not more than get over
one spell of bilious colic until another
would be upon me.
1 The best doctors I could get and
all the medicines I could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. I qould not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump out of my body.
“I came to the conclusion that there ,
was no relief for me and that I was ,
about wound up, when I saw a Postum
advertisement. I had always been a .
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble. j
"I began to use Postum instead or ■
coffee and in less than three weeks I j
felt like a new man. The rheumatism j
left me, and I have never had a spell ,
of bilious colic since.
"My appetite is good, my digesLion
never was better and l can do more
work than before for 40 years.
“I haven’t tasted coffee since 1 bfr
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and I relish it
as well as I ever did coffee, and I was
e-rtainly a slave to coffee.”

THE CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA
Optimism Throughout the Prov

katchewan and Alberta.
During the present summer a num
ber of important delegations have vis
ited the Canadian West for the pur
pose of securing information as to
the crop conditions and the conditions
of business generally. For some
months the financial stress was felt
throughout the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Co

the country. With a development tak

before been known, it was to be

wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show that
in the Province of Manitoba, which
stands out as one of great wealth and
wonderful opportunity, the land area
under wheat increased from 1,965,200
acres in 1900 to 2,760,471 acres in 1910,
being an increase of 40.46 per cent, in
the decade. The wheat area of 1911
is greater than that of 1910 by 334,461
acres. There are increases in the area
of production of all cereals for 1910
over 1900, excepting peas and mixed
grains.
Of cereals grown in 1910 the largest
gross monetary return per acre was
given by peas with $20.51, followed by
beans with $16.37, fall wheat with
$15.67. corn for husking with $12.63,
flax $11.15, buckw heat $11.06, spring
wheat $10.34. The smallest returns
were obtained from oats, rye and bar

expected that when the money bag*
were tightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 400,000 new peo

be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to a normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, add a

there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as a general
thing seeding was later than usual.- A

no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,

country had ever produced; the heads

$518.03 in 1900. being an increase ol
79.18 per cent, in the decade.
Coining back to the crops of 1913, it
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
115,000,000 bushels, with an average
yield of over 22 bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but a fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Rarley is excellent, while flax,
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce a
greater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date of August 12th. a report
comes from Regina which says:
“Unless some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers of the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded in the West.

Working Under Misconception.
For six years past express compan
ies have been billing money shipments
in this state under the assumption
that rates thereon were reduced 25
per cent by the Sibley law enacted at
the 1907 legislative session. Now it
has been found out that the Sibley
act did not affect money rates and
that several thousand dollars have
been lost in transportation through
the oversight. The matter was dis
covered several weeks ago by the ex
press companies and they proceeded
to make a readjustment of rates in
conformity with the schedule in effect
previous to 1907. When bankers of
the state began to protest and to ask
the railway commission if a rate raise
had been allowed on such shipments,
the facts were brought out.

PRINCE OF MONACO TO VISIT AMERICA
Prince Albert of Monaco, noted for
his interest in scientific studies as
well as for the fact that he rules OTer
Monte Carlo, has informed the state
department at Washington that he in
tends to visit the United States early
In September.
As practical proprietor of the gam
bling monopoly of Europe, Prince Al
bert, doubtless, will take much inter
est in New York's night life. The
prince, however, asserts that he hates
gambling. He is a scientist, and a
deep student of oceanography, and re
cently entertained the International
Zoological Congress at Monaco. Nev
ertheless, the prince's principal source
of income is from the “Monsieur
Blanc” rental of Monte Carlo. The
corporation to which is leased the
gambling privilege is known as
"Mons. Blanc.”
Prince Albert is of the ancient
house of Grimaldi, which has ruled
the tiny principality of Monaco since
tne tenth century. The prince was born isovemoer la, is-ta. rce
Lady Mary Douglas-Hamilton in 1869, but this marriage resulted unhappily
and was canceled. The divorced wife of the prince married Count Fassilo
Festetics. a Hungarian nobleman, and in 1869 the prince wedded the wife of
the Due de Richelieu, a Jewess. This experiment in matrimony also resulted
unhappily, and was annulled. Since then the prince has fought shy of matri
mony.
The principality of Monaco is on the Mediterranean, surrounded by the
French department of Alpes Maritime, excepting on the sea side. It has a
population of 19,121. The principal towns are Monaco, population 3,410;
La Condamine. 6,218, and Monte Carlo, 3,749. At Jhe latter place extreme
politeness is the rule. One is sometimes even permitted to commit suicide
upon the front door steps of the Casino, after having left one's fortune behind
in one of the gambling rooms. Suicides are very much disliked by the offi
cials in charge, however, particularly spectacular ones, that attract atten
tion. They hurt business. Young men who have ruined themselves at rouge
et noir, roulette or baccarat, and with hopeless faces, calmly talk about “end
ing it all," are hurriedly given a railroad ticket from Monte Carlo. “By all
means, commit suicide, but don't do it here.” That is the attitude.
Prince Louis, heir to the principality, has had domestic troubles of hi*
own. He is about forty-four years old. Recently he aroused much interest in
Paris by bringing suits against his morganatic wife, whom he had left, taking
their little girl with him, for some family portraits he had hung in their home.
OIL KING A PATRON SAINT
A patron saint on a large scale is
Charles Page, the Oklahoma oil mil
lionaire, who has adopted 300' waifs
and is planning to make the number
a thousand before he relinquishes his
Interest. Being A patron saint on a
large scale is not an unusual under
taking for Mr. Page; he is accustomed
to doing things on a large scale. He
has made money on a large scale,
built up business on a large scale,
built a city on a large scale and now
he proposes to father on a large scale
all the helpless, needy children who
come his way.
It was some fifteen years ago that
he made a lucky strike in gold up in
Colorado. When they struck oil in
Oklahoma he was on the spot and was
one of the first to develop that re
source. He was lucky again and to
day he is probably the richest man
In Oklahoma, having piled up some
$5,000,000.
And he is having a lot of fun with
that money. He has a tract of 6,000 acres near Tulsa, on which he has
neveloped a park where all the children of the city are welcome these hot
aays of summer. He owns the railroad and every morning a car goes to the
nity to convey the little ones to the park at Sand Springs, where a deaconess
and paid attendants care for them during the day. The car takes them home
again at night.
JOHN LIND NAMED MEXICAN MEDIATOR
The first step by the Wilson ad
ministration looking to the pacifica
tion of Mexico was taken the other
day when former Governor John Lind
of Minnesota was sent to that dis
turbed country under Instructions to
act as a mediator between the oppos
ing factions.
The official statement concerning
Mr. Lind given out by Secretary
Bryan is as follows:
“Ex-Governor John Lind of Minne
sota has been sent to Mexico as the
personal representative of the presi
dent to act as adviser to the embassy
in the present situation. When the
president is ready to communicate
with the Mexican authorities as to the
restoration of peace, he will make
public his views."
Mr. Lind's selection as mediator
was a surprise in Washington. It
had been understood there that John
E. Lamb of Indiana would act as the
personal representative of the presi
lent, he having been designated as the successor of Henry Lane Wilson.
Mr. Lind is a lawyer and was a member of congress from the Fiftieth
to the Fifty-second sessions, being a colleague of Mr. Bryan.
