Comparative
Digestibility
of Food
Made with different Baking Powders
From q 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 (
Bread made with
phosphate powder:
68lk Per Cent. Digested"
Bread made with
alum powder:
T67 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 bi 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.
LIFE'S GAME OF BROKEN HEARTS.
How to Be Up to DaU In Your Table
Appointments.
The large damask tablecloth has
given way to the vogue for sets of
llueu mats, including large oval ones
to be placed beneath the dishes, small
circular ones for the meat plates nnd
still smaller for use with cbeeso and
salad plates. The change In fashion Is
all on the side of the decorative, for
not only are the mats extremely beau
tiful In themselves, but they afford an
opportunity likewise for the display of
a fine dining table, the darkness of
the wood showing up to advantage the
Bllver and cut glass arranged upon It.
The mats themselves are usually plac
ed upon others of thin wicker or of
closely twisted strings lu order to ob
viate tbe possibility of harm to the
table through the heat of the dishes.
Some especially choke sets of these
dinner mats are of hundmade linen
richly embroidered In nil openwork
pattern of leaves und flowers executed
afier tbe manner of the "broderle an-
glulNe" Into the worked design is lu- j
troduced a number of Italian til lot luce I
squared, nl so baud worked nnd display- i
ing In their design all manner of quaint
beasts and birds copied from antique I
models. The edges of the mats are j
finished with a narrow Isjrder of thread
lace, und although the effect la elabo
rate in the extreme, the materials em
ployed are sufficiently substantial to
withstand much wear nud tear.
The world is but a stage of life, the mighty Master said,
In which most men and women play for their daily bread,
With doctors, lawyers, diplomats and preachers in the east
To fill the vacant places of their brothers who have passed.
The millionaire and workingman play most important pans;
They form the two great factors in life's play of broken hearts.
The first scene is a cottage where ihe roof leis in the rain;
There's a mother nearly famished, there's a husband racked with pain;
There's the money king, who orders iheir eviction, then departs;
! That's the first scene that 1 witnessed in life's play of broken hearts.
The next scene is a mansion in a land across the sea
By acres wide surrounded and the home of Royalty.
Its owner is of noble birth and lord of his domains,
And boasts he of the ancient blood that flows within his veins.
Charles S. Whitman, the district
attorney, presented to the grand
jury investigating the police graft
in New York a few ago a flashily
dressed negro, said to be the keep
er ofahouse in Harlem.from whom
he hoped in vain, as it afterward
developed to obtain evidence of
police blackmail.
"Do you know how to shoot
craps?" asked a grand juryman,
after the negro had denied being a
gambler, denied any connec
tion with the police, and in fact
all knowledge of official crooked
ness. "Oh, yas, suh, I kin shooi craps,"
said (he witness.
"Where did you learn in Bal
timore?" The negro had given
Baltimore as his home before he
came to New York.
"No, suh, I didn't learn in Bal
timo'." "In New York?"
"No, suh, not in New York."
"Well, where did you learn?"
"I didn't learn nowhar hit jes'
come nach'ul to me, suh." Sat

The Sweet Young Thing enter
ed the department store and after
glancing around in a hopeless way
for a few moments approached a
floor walker, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
"What can we do for you Miss?"
asked the floor walker.
The Sweet Young Thing blush
ed and then said:
"Where can 1 find those elastic
bands capable of being elongated

Ten minutes later strong men
led the floor walker away. He

How to Treat Shrunken Woolen.

How to 8eon Oyster Stew,
Some housewives like to add n p(ucn
-a very small pinch of nutmeg tr. an
oyster stew. Others use a Ittle givund
mace or n blade of mace, taking (t out
before serving.
Now comes another character, a girl quite young in years,
Her eyes they bear a troubled look, her cheeks are'stained with tears,
She meets the young lord face to face; he lurns pale, then he starts;
He met her in the first act of the play of broken hearts.
He promised he would marry her, she trustingly believed,
But when the day appointed came she found she'd been deceived,
Now his servants drive her from his door; in shame the girl departs;
That's another scene I witnessed in life's play of broken hearts.
Amid the sound of marriage bells a coupleiwent iheir way,
A youth and maiden, smiling sweet, for 'tis their wedding day.
They vowed to love each other along life's rough career,
A baby blessed their union ere they'd been wed a year.
But sad, alas, to her one day ihe vile tempter came,
He told her he would lead her to the very gates of fame,
She left her husband and her child and fled to foreign parts.
That's another scene I witnessed in life's play of broken hearts.
There's a husband silting alone, for his love will never die.
He tells his little baby mama's coming by and by.
He bows his head to hide the tears that to his eyelids start.
That's the saddest scene I witnessed in life's play of broken hearts.
Now comes the grand finale on which the curtain falls,
The scene is of a battlefield uptorn by cannon balls,
It is a field of carnage dire with bloody corpses strewn.
The battle wages fierce and wild, but 'twill be ended soon.
The enemy have fled, the wounded soldiers shout with joy,
And there among their number lies a dying drummer boy,
His comrades lift him tenderly; the lad these words imparts;
"Tell mother I died fighting in life's play of broken hearts."
There's a poor old gray-haired mother waiting for her boy to come,
She is thinking of the morning thai she buckled on his drum,
The news arrives her boy is dead, from this life she departs.
That's the closing scene 1 witnessed in life's play of broken hearts.
At a parental gathering recently
a lady toasted, "The Gentlemen"
as follows : Bless'm. They share
our joys, they double our sorrows,
they tripple our expenses, they
quadruple our cares, they excite
our magnanimity, they increase
our self respect, awaken our affec
tion, control our property and out
maneuver us in everything. This
would be a dreary world without
them. In fact, I may say without
fear of successful contradiction,
lhat without them this would not be
much of a world anyhow. We
love them and the dear things can
not help it. We control them and
the precious fellows don't know
