THE TRUE MAPLE FLAVOR.
Housewives Welcome a Maple Flavor
That Has the Real Maple Taste
Vermonters have a reputation for
the quality of the maple syrup pro
duced in their state. It is but a few
years since the discovery was made of
a method of imparting this delicious
flavor to dishes without the use of
maple syrup. The new flavoring ex
tract was appropriately named Ma
ple ine.
Strange as it may seem, Vermonters
themselves cannot tell the difference
between syrup made with Mapleine
and that which comes from their own
Green Mountain state. This is due to
the purity of the ingredients and the
care used in the manufacture.
Mapleine is perfectly healthful, is
purely vegetable and makes a syrup
that is equal to any and superior to
many brands of maple syrup that are
placed on the market
Flavoring for cakes, icings, blanc
mange, sauce, etc., that is delicious
and has all the piquancy and delicacy
of maple syrup can be readily made
by the addition of a few drops of
Mapleine to a little water in which
granulated sugar has been dissolved.
Mapleine syrup makes such dishes as
rice, tapioca, stale bread, etc., simply
irresistible to children.
Mapleine Dainties is the title of
booklet full of wholesome receipts pub
lished by the Crescent Manufacturing
company, who make Mapleine. The
booklet will be sent free to anyone
who asks for it. You can buy Maple
ine of your grocer. Try it, you'll like
it aa thousands of others have. Here
is a sauce for puddings that is deli
cious:
Whites of two eggs, one and one-half
cups of granulated sugar, one cup of
mug and one teaspoonful of Mapleine.
Mapleine can be used anywhere that
outer flavoring extracts are used.

WIN BARREN VICTORY
Commodities Clause Upheld, bo
With Limitations.
RAILROADS MAY CONTROL STOC
Mas Not Haul Goods They Produce
Directly, but May Control the
Producing Company,
Washington, May 4. It haa been
manv a day since a decision of the
United States Supreme court haa been
received with aa much interest aa was
manifested yesterday In'the reversal of
the Circuit court's "commodities
clause" decision, affecting the anthra
cite coal carrying railroads. These
cases had been decided by the Circuit
court favorably to the railroads, in
that the clause of the Hepburn rate
law which prohibits interstate rail
roads from carrying commodities man
ufactured, mined or produced directly
or indirectly by the road waa declared
unconstitutional. The general impres
sion had been that the decision would
be affirmed by the Supreme court
When, therefore, there waa a reversal
instead of an affirmation the interest
was much magnified. When again it
was found that the reversal was based
on technical grounds, and that the
effect was really favorable to the rail
road companies, sentiment took another
turn.
The decision was announced by Jus
tice White, who declined to give out
more than a summary, showing the net
result of the court a finding. Because
of the court's delay in announcing its
conclusion it was generally supposed
that the court would be found to be
much divided. Only one dissenting
opinion was announced Justice Har
lan's statement that he did not follow
the conclusion on the point that the
law did not prohibit the railroad own
ership of stock in commodities-produc
ing companies.
Analyzed, Justice White's decision
is that congress did not transcend its
constitutional authority in enacting the
commodities provision, but it was held
that the government a construction of
the provision had been entirely too
comprehensive. As construed by the
court the sole object of the clause is
to prevent carriers being associated in
interest with the commodities trans
ported at the time of transportation
Summed up, the act only compels com
panies to disassociate themselves from
the products they carry and the gov
ernment contention that the law applies
to the ownership of stock and prohibits
the transportation of commodities sim
ply because they have been produced
by a railroad company is untenable.
The effect of the decision is favor
able to the railroads and the govern
ment lost on practically all points ex
cept in the sustaining of the principle
involved.
The decision sustained the provision
of the law exempting timber from the
operations of the commodities clause.
This exemption was used as a basis of
attack by the railroads.

Insurance Companies Liable for Loss
in San Francisco Fire.
San Francisco, May 4. In an opin
ion handed down by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals today, the
effort of certain insurance companies
to bring losses sustained by fires dur
ing the conflagration of 1906 under the
earthquake clauses of the policies, be
cause the shock broke water mains
and thus prevented the extinguishing
of the fires, was rejected and charac
terized as being as trivial as it would
have been to seek the same action on
appeal because the men and horses of
the fire department bad been injured
by the earthquake. The companies in
volved were the Commercial Union
Assurance company, the Alliance In
surance company and the Norwich
Union Fire Insurance company and
the Pacific Union club was the policy
holder in each case.
Abdul's Sanguinary Plot,
Constantinople, May 4. Document
ary evidence has been discovered
among the records of the telegraph
office here of the knowledge of the
Constantinople authorities that massa
cres had been planned for the Adana
district and that they were to coincide
with the political events here. Lists
of houses, with notes on the kind of
loot to be found therein, were discov
ered. The arrangements included a
general massacre of foreigners in Con
stantinople, including the diplomatic
representatives, on April 24.
Exodus of Sultan's Harem.
Constantinople, May 4. Since the
deposition of Abdul Hamid there haa
been an exodus daily of the women of
the imperial harem from the Yildiz
Kiosk. Forty-five carriages, each con
taining two or three women, left the
city yesterday and 15 more were seen
proceeding to Stamboul today. It Is
evident that the total number of fair
prisoners in the palace must have been
prodigious. Palaces have been set
apart for their accommodation, but in
the present condition of the country
their fate is pathetic.

WORK OF NATURE.
Scenic Beauty of A.-Y.-P. Grounds
Not Work of Man.
The amphitheater of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition has been ac
complished partly by human efforts,
but for the most part the work hns
been done by nature. On the high pre
cipitous shores of Lake Washington,
looking across a succession of bays,
and snow topped peaks of the Cascades
are brought clearly into view and this
forma the back ground of the amphi
theater stage. Three sides rise from
the floor and these have a stately up
ward slope; only in the development of
these natural seating placet has it
been necessary for work to be ex
pended. About the tiered sides of the amphi
theater chain rise one above the other
and in the vast forest theater 30,01)0
people can have comfortable and
sightly positions. Surrounded at the
back and sides to towering trees of
Douglas fir and massive cedar, the
place seems to have been crented by
giants of old for spectacular events;
it is so fashioned and designed that
open air acoustics produce results
which could be generally looked for
only within the walls of structures
built with this property always in
mind.
It was in this spot that the first
shovel of earth waa removed in the
building of the Aliwka-Yukon-Piieific
exposition. ithout any work of pre
paration, 2",000 people were easily ac
commodated within its borders. Dur
ing the course of the exposition the
amphitheater will be the scene of many
interesting events and with its arrange
ment as now perfected will afford the
grandest out of doors Inciter in exist
ence.
WAR VERY COSTLY.
Next Session of Paaca Conference
Will Hear Interesting Report.
Chicago, May 3. Amazing statistics
will be presented to the National Peace
society, which convenes here today, by
Benjamin F. Trueblood, secretary of
the American Peace society. In a re
port compiled for distirbution among
the delegates It is asserted that 15,
000,000 persons have sacrificed them
selves in wars since the beginning vl
authentic history.
This vast number of victims, says
Mr. Trueblood, "is about equal to ail
the people who inhabited the globe for
the last 600 years, allowing' three gen
erations to the century and 650,000,000
estimated population of the world at
the opening of the Nineteenth century
as the average population per genera
tion.
'The usual estimate of the number
of men lost in the wars in the Nine
teenth century, including those who
died of wound and diseases, places it
at 14,000,000. Of this number the
Napoleonic campaigns are responsible
for about six million.
Losses in the American Civil war
have been variously estimated at from
800,000 to 1,000,000 men. The brief
war between Prussia, Austria and Italy
in 1866 entailed a loss of 45,000 men
STORM REACHES ATLANTIC.

Borne to His Tomb.
Pekin, May 3. The body of the late
Kwang Hsu, emperor of China, Satur
day began the long journey to the
Western tombs, 80 miles away, for
final interment. The dowager empress
will not be interred until the fall. The
procession started from the precincts of
the Forbidden City at 11 o'clock. The
march to the tombs will take four days
and the entire route is to be ovor the
great highway especially constructed
for the passage of the imperial coffin.
The tomb cost considerably over $1,
000,000. Cold Wave Throughout East.
Washington, May 3. A great storm,
sweeping from the Upper Lake region
over the Middle and Southern Atlantic
states, with heavy rains, high winds
and snow in spots, figured conspicuous
ly on the weather maps Saturday. A
May-day snowstorm prevailed in the
vicinity of the Upper Lake and Upper
