J. I THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD. OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1913. EVENING EDITION. l i,. ,i 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 alumand 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 t f 100 Per Cent Digested 1 Bread made with phosphate powder: 6Sfh Per Cent Digested! Bread made with alum powder; 67 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 ia not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments. M 1 1 0 TO BUILD Li CJTY CUTER IS IIKI'OKT THAT TIIKV HAVE TAK- J.M.

Cow Why Hiilldiug. Tho Gow Why building wns brought up again for discussion, E. H. Joohnk In behalf of E. Handel, asking for tho roport of Inspector Trlbboy, who had been Instructed nt tho Inst meeting to Inspect the building, Mr. Trlbboy said that tho Oow Why building had settled about ilvo Inches In tho Inst nino years nnd consequently loaned oor some. Ho said that tho south side of tho lot wns flllotl with saw dust, whllo tho north sldo wus on solid ground. Ho said thnt ho wnB suro It would con tinue to sottlo more, but thnt ho did not think thero was nny dnngor of tho building collapsing. Any way, ho said Gow Why had hired a mnn to put more braces nndornenth It to safeguard It. Mr. Joohnk wanted formnl notice sorved on Gow Why. but Councilman Fergiibon said that ho would speak to him about it. Inspector Trlbboy said that thoro was a question about tho lot lino botween tho Gow Why nnd tho Grimes property, on which E. Bnn dol Ib building, and ho did not know Hint Gow Why's building really ii-uiiuu uivt mo unities line. Tho City Council last evening In structed City Engineer Gldloy to hire a special mnn to check up tho house numbering In tho city, correct tho old errors in numbering nnd hnvc nil buildings nnd houses properly num bered. The notion wbb taken .following tho rending of n petition from tho Coos Uny Water Compnny, Coos Ilay Homo Tolophono Compnny, Oregon Powor Company nnd Postmaster Curtis, asking thnt it bo done. It was stated that mnny buildings wcro er roneously numbored or not number ed nt nil, resulting in considerable confusion. City Engineer Gidley oxplnlnod that owing to peoplo not knowing tho numbers of tho lots on which tholr buildings woro loented, that possibly thoy had boon given tho wrong numbers. He said thnt somo of the applicants for numbers wcro not suro just what sldo of tho street they lived on nnd It mndo it diulcult to nlwnys glvo thorn right numbers. Then, ho said, somo mixed up the numbers putting them up. Some times, the applicants would any they lived bcsldo "Mrs. S.-nnd-So" on a certain Btrcct, thinking tho engineer or recorder could flguro out their numbor from thnt. He said that In nomo cities, the city Itsolf took chnrgo of tho numbering In order to lnsuro It bolng done correctly nnd charged n nominal fco, about thirty five cents, for doing tho work. This mndo it more systematic. Ferguson said that it tho city started to sell tho numbors, some body would bo hollering "grnft.'' Councilman Copplo wanted to know if tho city couldn't do It Just ns chenp or chonpor by getting n lot of num bers nt a time. Flnnlly Councilman Albrecht mov ed thnt tho city cnglncor delegate a man to canvass tho city and see that tho buildings nre numbered correct ly. Mr. Gldloy Bnld It would tnke a man ton dnys or two weeks to do tho work. Councllmnn Winkler Bnld that ho thought It would bo useless expense to do this ns tho people would bo willing to correct any errors by sim ply notifying them or nsklng them to do so. He said thnt ho didn't think It would bo nccssnry to Bond n man nround nnd cnuso tho clty'nn ex pense nnd tho property owner nny expense, cspcclnlly when tho error might bo duo to tho pnrty having boon given tho wrong numbor by tho city engineer. Mr. Gidley said that ho did not know of having given n wrong numbor to nnyono, but mere ly suggested how It might hnvo been done. Ho snld that If It was shown thnt ho had given tho wrong number to anyone, ho would pay tho oxpense of corroding It. Flnnlly Mr. Albrccht'B motion passed, Mr. Winkler bolng tho only ono opposing It. Thoro Is nn ordlnnnco requiring buildings to bo numbored. In addi tion to tho benefit to the nubile utll. ItloB and mall cnrrlerfl.
