THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1913 " Comparative Digestibility of Food Made with different Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking 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: 100 Per Cent Digested "1 Bread made with phosphate powder; 68V Per Cent Digested Bread made with alum powder ; 674 Per Cent Digested 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. DOESN'T WANT UNCLE SAM TO BUILD ROADS Editor ,the News: Senator Bourne wants to know what the people of Oregon think about Federal aid in the construction of roads according to an article in the News of Feb ruary 12. If you will accord me a little space, I for one, will tell you what I think about the road situation so far as the National Government is concerned: In the first place 1 am not In favor of the government's going into the road building business. It undertakes to do too many things now that should be done by local fin ance, too many things that are purely state matters and altogether too many things that are merely political agen cies for keeping people In line with the public aspirations of Congresmen. In other words, th country is now being taxed unreasonably for the sim ple purpose of protecting the official careers of many of our congressmen. If any systems of doling out money by appropriation for the purpose of pro moting state or county or congress ional district highways is begun, we would get a species of graft and poli tical robbery started which has never been equalled in the hiBtory of our country. You ask how? Are not our congress men now scuring passeage of bills for all sorts of local expenditure for the Bole purpose of promoting their inter ests with their constitutents Are the constitutents not flooding the malls continually with demands upon their congressmen for assistance or virtually its equal? Should we be so unfortunate as to have congressional action favoring the expenditure of government funds on the public roads of the country in any but a very lim ited manner, the demand would be out of proportion to the needs of the country and the fate of our congress men would still further embarrass these officials In the performance of their legitimate duties.

Remember "A Case of Suspension" at the school house Thursday, Febru- I 1 Has Made Its Vay By the Way It's Made HEN we began marketing the Inter national Commercial Car six years ago the one idea uppermost was to sell a useful car. That meant a car for country roads, that would safely carry a reasonable load, always get there and back, and last long enough to be very profitable. Some of those first cars are still doing an honest day's work every day. All of them paid for themselves. None of them was so efficient as the car we sell today. Now is the time to buy an International Commercial Car For the merchant engaged in any business requiring much light hauling, or prompt deliv eries; for the business man who wishes to extend hi3 territory; for the man who wants to cut down delivery expenses and at the sama time be progressive and up-to-date, an Inter national Commercial car is a good investment. Simple, sure, powerful, it climbs hills, goes through mud-holes and sandy stretches, any where a team can travel at any speed from 3 to 18 miles an hour. Transmission is simple and direct. Brakes are powerful. Bearings are strong. A single lever controls the car. Write for catalogues and ary information desired.
