Cream of Tartar, the chief ingredient of Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder is a product of ripe grapes. It
is pure and healthful beyond question.
Alum is the chief ingredient of many of the sub
stitutes offered in place of Dr. Price's Cream Baking
Powder. Alum is a mineral acid, declared by physi
cians and chemists to have an injurious effect when
used in the preparation of food.
No baking powders containing alum are permitted
.to be sold in England, France or Germany. To avoid
alum and be sure of wholesome, home-baked food,
read the label carefully and use only

lug in order to set the (list part of
' the play when wi were told in a queer
, mixture of Spanish and Hnglish that
' wu must go out to the booth and get
tickets. We went out, but not to ro
turn. Another experience: Saturday
i evening we went to Central park,
which is beautiful, to hear the baud.
When we were heated a Cuban came
up bejiau talking to us iu Spat
lsh. Seeing ho was very much lu ear-no-t
we, for a moment, did nut know
vhnt was ovpeeted. Then untieing va
cant .-eats ami so many people stand

his head, motioning to the rost of our
party. I then gave him a quarter, 10
ceiviug a Spaiiixh quarter in change.
1 afterwards learned the price of a
heat was six vents, Our three days'
s.ay lu Havana was eujoyod by all. We
did not have a dull moment,. Tho
guide told us tunny things of iuteiest
I can only tell of a fov, that you may
know what the trip meant to us,
We were told during tho term of in
tervention the U. S. expended SlO.OOO,
000 for tho schoolsof Cuba, which are
modeled after that of Ohio, lu 1000 a
thousand Cuban teachers wore sent to
Harvard College for a summer normal
and hundreds more to other schools
in the U. S. for normal training. That'

ill ained, and entirely regenerated the
city. We were made to feel proud ol
the U. S. iu a way wo had never
thought of at home.
Sunday eening while walking on
tho l'radn, we met a V.ilpo student,
wlu was lu Havana taking the l'har
mic exams. n0 said there was a great
chance lu Havana for both Plumules
and Medics.
Monday evening we bought our tick
ets for. U.Unbauo. Hy thin time so
ha l met u number ot Isle of 1'ines
people, who were attending a couit
trial in HnvaiM. Ai riving at U.ua
biiuo wo took a boat for Ninab
tierona, tho capital of the Isle of Pines
10 telling there at 10 o'clock Tuesdny
morning. 1 was sorry ho much of this
trip was made by night, This was
surely a delightful trip The wateis
of the Carribean are as smooth as a
lake iu a city patk and in many places
quite shallow and very clear, The
bottom is plainly visible A traveller
who was on the boat said It was much
like tho Mediterranean and that the
muluo gardens surpassed those of
Catellua Islands, and ho had seen both.
It Is said a rise of fifty feet would
connect Isle of Tines with Cuba. Five
large porpoises played lu front of the
prow for about u half hour, then seem
ingly becoming weary, left us. These
fish are not edible, but scavengers of
the sea.
The Isle of l'ines is a large island iu
the ceuter ot a circle of smallor is
lands. Some of these smaller Islands
arc a huge hill of s did marble whose
height equals" or exceeds the ale .

since 1001 Cuba and Isle of Pines has
the lowest death rate in the world
with thu exception of New Zealand.
The Isle Is at present under Cuban
government being u part of Uavatia
province. All tho public improve
ments have been made by Americans,
who have the hope that sotuo day it.
may become U S. territory. There
.arc no railroads on the island and tek-
phunes tire just now being put up.
The population is nearly nil Ameri
can colonists, numbering about three
thousand and it Is a surprising fact
that with gasolene at 4Go per gallon
and costing SHOO to get an automobile
out of the ciiKtom house at Havana,
there is over GOO autos on tho island,
paitly due to tho fact that most of the
steamships at Havana lie tnoorod at
the bay. The cargo is carried to shore
hy "lighters." We were told tills was
due in some places to lack of water,
but, iu Havana it Is becauso the light
eag interests are powerful enough
to prevent n change and that it cost
mure to (li-chitige a ton of cirgo over
two huniicd yard- trotn thedocK than
to bring lt.roni Llverpoil. The. Isle

had three oiops this yoii,r. There were
twenty seven varltie of. palms and
several varities of bamboo", along with
blooming roses, vines and shrubbery
growing in luxurious profusion. Two
trees iu which 1 vwis touch interested
were celba and royal poinciauas On

is easier and cheaper til. ill trying to
keep down the weeds which grow high
er than the trees on richer soil, They
use blcod and bone from the packing
housts for fertilize.1. Thus we see
how one locality is dependent upon
another and thus unities thu whole.

being rip refineries nearer than thu

Yesterday we saw u number of one
story stone buildings with the roofs,
a ild to bo hundreds of years old arid
quarter sand training ground for slaves
There are many such buildings found
here. Tho American homes are nearly
ull of the bungalow type with a piazza
ruunlng around three sides, and con
