There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of bak ing powders on the market, viz: (1) Mineral-Acid or Alum. (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar, derived from grapes. It is important, from the standpoint of health, to know some thing about these ingredients, and which kind is used in your baking powder. (1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, Is made from a kind of clay. This clay is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and from this solution a product is obtained which is alum. Alum Is cheap, costs about two cents a pound, and baking powder made with this Minoral-Acld sells from 10 to 2.") cents a pound. (1!) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, Is the basis of phosphate baking pow ders and the process Is fully describ ed in the patents issued to a large manufacturer ff a phosphate powder. The 1'nited States patent office re ports give a full and exact descrip tion, but the following extract Is enough : iliirned bones, after being ground are put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and with continual stirring and in the. following proportion." etc. From this Hone-Acid Phosphate baking powders are made: such pow ders sell from 20 to oit cents a pound. 131 Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes, and flows with the juice when the grapes are pressed. The tartar is subsequently gathered from the cask, boiled with water, and re fined, when crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pur separ ate, and are procured. It differs in no respect from the form in which it originally existed in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then, while the most expensive, is the only Ingred ient that should be used in a baking powder to at upon th" soda, as its wlioiennieii-!.8 is beyond question, ('ream of Tartar hakinu powders sell at about 40 to cents a pound. Such are the facts and every one. i areful of the health of 'h- family, should remember this rule: Baking pnwd"rs selling from 1" to 2.'. cents i iminid are made of ..iineral-Acds; those selling from 2 to 3u cents of !oi;e-.r id; and tho.' from In to 'n r,ts ,,f Cream cf Tartar derived fr:n snipes.

Trustees of the Tacoma Commercial club and ct?mber of commerce have formally decided to withdraw the club from membership in the Associated Chambers of Commerce of tbe Pa cific coast. Failure of the Califor nia members ot the association to aid in lifting the embargo on finish ed lumber products of the north west, now In effect at San Francisco, is the direct cause of the breach. According to those who have fol lowed the long dispute between com mercial interests of the northern and southern sections of the country, the withdrawal of Tacoma is another In dication that eventually association between chambers of commerce of the Pacific northwest and California will be completely broken. The Portland chamber of com merce already has given up Its mem bership in the Pacific Coast associa tion and It is understood Spokane business men are considering the ad visability of withdrawing. The Seattle chamber Is the only north west member of the Pacific coast organization which Is openly oppos ing separation of the northwest or ganizations from those of California. Pointer on Road Mataling. Hlllsboro county. Fla., has a consid erable extent of good roads, about 100 miles approximately, most of which has been Improved within a few recent years. One of the county commfcudon ers in an interview recently laid par tlcular stress on tbe necessity for an adequate thickness of metaling. He maintains that these should be of macadam construction, at least eight Inches of stone on the sides and ten inches In the center. Even more would add to the "...-'vit.v of the road. In his Judgment. Good Roada Mean Mony, The people need to be educated to the fact that money spent for good roads Is not money thrown away, whereas money spent for makeshift Improvements Is worse than thrown away. !"! GOOD ROAD GRIST. A bad foundation inauras a bad road, no mattar how muoh attention it paid to tha aurface. Consider the traffic to go over the proposed road and then se lect the material to be ueed. To make a split log drag use red eedar, red elm, box elder, soft maple or willow. The earth road should have tome friends who will drain it I and then drag it after every hard rain.

Two years ago the people of the state voted an SlS.OOO.ooo txnl issue for this specific purpose. The funds beiiif available, the actual work of construc tion has begun. The total mileage con templnted by this act amounts to 2,700 mllis, and it is expected that the work will be finished in 11)15. The fanners and dairymen are right on the Job, nml they may not only make these roads of good use In their dally business, but at the same time they and their families may avail themselves of Joy rides to their hearts' content. The construction of thts great system of public highways has already begun, the work being In charge of the California highway commission, a Ixxly of throe members, appointed by the governor of the state. Generally speaking, the system will tncludo two great highways connecting the northern and southern parts of the state, one running down the const line, and another inland following the course of the valleys of the Sacramento and San .Toaquiu Branching off from these two trunk lines will he lateral roads ronm-ting county seats and oth er Important centers of population. The specifications In general make the following demands: Right of way not less than forty feet wide and as direct between objective points as pos sible, grades not to exceed 7 per cent eren In the mountainous parts of the state, curves as open as pntwfbTe and In no case more than fifty feet In ra- All kinds of legal blaal.s at the Courier.
