VI Salting Powder Received Highest Award World's Pure Food Exposition Chicago, November, 1907 What does this mean? It meant that Calumet has set a new Standard in Baking Powder the standard of the World. Because thit award wai given to Calumet after thorough tests and experiments, over all other baking powders. " It means that Calumet i the best baking powder in every particular in the world. And this means that Calumet produces the mo aeucious, lightest, and purest baking of all baking powders. Doesn't that mean everything to you? Ithaca, N. T., Jan. 20. John Bur roughs, the naturalist, who is visiting here, believe that few millionaires are really happy. He Is quoted in an in terview as follows: "I do not believe in the doctrine at tributed to John D. Rockefeller that if you want to make your wife happy all you have to do is to give her plenty 01 money, l do not believe that posses sion of money and happiness are syn onymous. If Mr. Rockefeller has been quoted correctly he is making a de claration that I believe American wo men and women ail over the world will resent. They want love first of all if tney are provided with the right in stincts. 'I sat behind Jay Gould in school and once he wrote a composition on a elate for me when I needed ideas. That day he needed 70 cents and I gave the sum to him for two old school books. I saw him later in life when he was worth 70 million dollars but I do not think he was happy. The money fire was blaz ing in his eyes, and I am sure it reach ed his brain and consumed his life, sending him to an untimely grave. "The great problem of today is the making of money. It is unquestion ably the occupation that engages the minds of the vast majority of people. But from what I have seen of life and those leading it, when one has obtain ed a competency money is superfluous. just like an excess of what is not need ed to round out the figures and give it a handsome appearance. Piling up wealth then becomes like piling on flesh and greatly hinders the enjoyment of the pest things or this life. "I know millionaires, and know very few happy ones. True, Mr. Carn'eele seems to be an exception because he is different from many other rich men. He Is trying to get rid of his money, and ne taxes a Keen aeiignt in doing good with it. "But even when one disposes of wealth, if there is the consciousness that in acquiring it the weaker creatures have been overcome and saddened, I think there must be a tinge of regret in helping others with this very fruit that has been obtained at such cost. "Money, of course, is necessary to provide the comforts of existence, but cultured people I say cultured people, mind you can aouDtless be contented with books when they cannot buy automobiles."

Whether indi cative of hard times among the poor or not, 14 persons, among them a frail factory girl, were willing to sell their blood for a transfusion operation upon a patient at Mount Sinai hospital. The applicants came to the institution in response to an advertisement for "a healthy man wishing to sell his blood for transfusion to a dying patient." The girl was informed that only men would be accepted and after physicians had examined the other applicants a man employed in an Kast side tailor shop was finally accepted. The transfusion operation will be performed today, but the price paid for the "blood of a healthy man," is not known. AN ARRAT OF ORATORS. Will Be Seen at Religious Education Association Meeting. Chicago. Jan. 20. An unusual array of orators and men prominent in religious circles will add to the interest in the convention of the Religious Kducation association, which convenes in Chicags Lincoln week. Among those in attendance will be Ambassador Bryce, former President Eliot of Harvard. Henry S. Pfltchett of the Carnegie Foundation, Miss Jane Addams, Dr. Emil Hirsch. George Stew art, Prof. Francis Greenwood Peabody, President Harry Pratt Judson of the University of Chicago, and President S. C. Mitchell of the University of South Carolina. The fourth annual meeting of the Kansas Fraternal Congress was held at , the Knights & Ladies of Security hall at the corner of Seventh and Kansas avenue last evening and the session was one of the stormiest in the history of the organization. For six long hours the fraternal legisla tors met In session and most of the time there was a continual fight be tween the older and newer orders represented. . The purpose of the congress is to unite socially and . fraternally the of ficers and accredited representatives of the fraternal beneficiary societies doing business !n Kansas, to promote the spirit of fraternity among the membership of all fraternal beneficiary societies and to improve the business methods and to protect and promote the interests of the societies represented in the congress. The latter clause to promote the In terests of the societies was well car ried out last evening and some of the social side was exhibited but as a whole the Fraternal Congress made a noise like a lot of legislators fighting over the changing of seats or a city council quarreling over a street naming proposition. The main action of the Kansas Fraternal Congress last evening was to go on record as disapproving of the taxation of fraternal order funds and property and incidentally send a little delegation to the legislature and see that nothing in contrary to their wishes would be pushed through both houses. The legislature is given due warning to watch out for the Kansas Fraternal congressmen, 'iney nave ideas of their own and they are not afraid to mention them. A long dis cussion was held last night concern ing the taxation of fraternal funds and property and all of the late de cisions from the supreme courts were brought back to life and used as models of defiance. The cases of the Masons and Odd Fellows especially were cited. Neither of these orders belong to the congress. In talking of the taxation matters it was decided that all the property of the orders that did not draw a revenue should ' be exempt from taxation. For instance if a lodge owns a building and leases it for of fice or store room use thereby gaining a revenue the property was as other property and could be subject to taxation. But if theorder was con ducting a beneficiary home of some kind and was conducting it for the use of a great benevolent and charitable cause in the broad and legal sense the protection .of the home, the widow, the orphan, It Is different. At any rate the Kansas Fraternal Con gress will fight the tax law in the legislature and as one of the mem bers said before the convention last night: "We are just as good and just as wise as those men in the legislature and I am sure that they will recognize our cause." Calls It Self Admiration Sotdety. One of the members of the congress made sensational charges when he arose and said in loud tones that the Kansas Fraternal Congress was noth ing but a private means of gaining honor. He said all the congress did was to gather every year and elect officers and then have the news printed with their names at the top. He said in part: This is nothing but a self admiration society. We come here every year,. elect officers, be . 'big' fellows and go home to ten tnem an aoout it. I don't take any stock in this talking about 'in union there Is strength.' Every one of us will work our hardest for our own lodge and there will not be any 'union.' " These charges were taken without a whimper by the congress and when the gentleman sat down there was not a word of objection or a faint sign of hand-clapping. Before the meeting was over this same gentleman grabbed his hat and with a grumble about "wind jamming" he left the room in a rage There is evidently one man who does not have any use for the Kansas Fra ternal congress. But this .was not all that happened last night. The annual fight between the older orders and the newer orders on the adoption of a uniform rate among the lodges came in on time. The fight for a uniform rate was led by Wil son B. Kirkpatrick. who is the president of the Knights and Ladies of Secur ity and who holds about the only $6,000 job on Kansas avenue. He fought like a tiger for the uniform rate last night but he had too many enemies. While he was waging his hardest fight with papers and documents in both hands, a number of the congressmen gathered in the corner and fixed up their plan for defense. But they did not go far as the general audible verdict . was that Kirkpatrick had personal rea sons for getting the uniform rate law through the lodges."This was but a part of the mud-slinging at the meeting of the Kansas 'fraternal congress last night. Since their meeting the word "fraternal" has taken on a different meaning in fact it is an antonym and the congressmen made it so. About the only happy man last night was the president who sat in his chair and laughed during the whole fight- He seemed to take the whole matter as a fight between lodges with personal thrusts added and a little old time en mity thrown In as good measure. There was a motion for adjournment two hours before the meeting was ended and the motion was brought before the house every ten minutes after it was first made. But the fight between Mr. Kirkpatrick and some of the younger generations became so fierce and so personal that the members of the con gress missed their suppers to hear the end of it, and then Kirkpatrick lost his fight. Attack Jackson and Court. But the lodges and members were not the only ones to receive the lemons last night. Attorney General Jackson and the supreme court came in for their share. One of the members in par ticular said that If the attorney gen eral made a certain statement or if the supreme court gave a certain verdict they were "wrong in every way." It would have been a good education for some of the state officials to have at tended the meeting of the Kansas Fra- ternal congress last night. They would have learned some things that they have been accused of not knowing. . But after all of the fight, the uniform rate law adopted by the National Fra ternal congress was thrown to the ground by the Kansas Fraternal con gress. They would have nothing to do with It in spite or the presence or Mr, Kirkpatrick and his faithful follower, It was an interesting meeting to say the least and adjourned last evening to meet again In Topeka next January. New Officers Chosen. The election of officers last night re sulted as follows: President George C. Lockwood, Em Toria Vice president Thomas Sheard of Topeka. Secretary-treasurer Mrs. L. M. Betts of Topeka. The executive committee will consist of the following: George C. juockwooa Mrs. T. M. Betts Mr. W. B. Kirkpat rick of Topeka, Mr. T. J. Sweeney of Lawrence, Mr. O. ii.

CALDERHEAD ILL. Kansas Congressman May Not Be Able to Return to Washington. iid Laxative for Baby Free The child of today' Is the parent of the future, and whether it grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weaklings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control. The prime cause of trouble is in the stomach. A baby that is digesting its food seldom cries and always looks cheer ful: the little child whose stomach is good romps and plays and never whines: the growing child learns well at school and is eager for fun if its head Is clear and its stomach light, and that means if it has no constipation. The best and safest way to cure any irregularity, of the stomach and bowels in children is by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a liquid laxative wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John W. Dunham. Apple Creek. O.. Mrs. H. L. Cullam, Plainville, Ind., and numerous others can testify who Klve it to their children with extraordinary results. A bottle only costs 50 cents or $1 ac cording to the size you want, and even one 50-cent bottle, will do a wonderful amount of good in a family. It can be given to any member of the family in constipation, sour stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, dyspepsia. " heartburn, sick headache and similar digestive troubles. It never gripes or strangles like pills, tablets, salts and powders, which should not be given to children, women or old folks. If you have a child or other member of the family who needs, but has never used this grand laxative tonic, send your name and address to the doctor and a free trial bottle will be sent to your home. In this way you can find out what it will do without personal expense. If there is anything about your ailment that you don't understand, or if you want any medical advice, write o.ithe doctor, and he will answer vou fully. There is rZr-1s The address is Dr. W. B.

Yellow Tress Is Stirring Up Sentiment Against Uncle Sam. Tokio, Jan. 20. The nature of the matter cabled from Japan quoting the Japanese sensationalist' press in re gard to the anti-Japanese bills pre sented to the state legislature in Cal ifornia, is arousing the indignation of leading newspapers and American residents in Japan, who assert that the selections sent out were taken from the columns of the least responsible newspapers in Japan, whose real char acter is not understood in the United States. It is declared also that this was done intentionally and that the articles are calculated to rearouse feel ings of bitterness on both sides of the Pacific ocean. The leading newspapers denounce what they term an effort to create international unfriendliness. MUSmfTHEPRICE. Farmers Organize to Raise Cost of Milk to Consumers. Chicago, Jan. 20. A new society has been launched at West Chicago under the name of the Dupage county farmers protective association.

In addition, our stables must be disinfected and the . walks perfumed."

Chicago, I1L The June '09 class of the Tpeka high school scored a tremendous hit in the realms of amateur performances, in their presentation at the Grand last night of "Out Bluffed." a musical com edy with a college setting. The play is a good one for high school perform ances. It is a play constructed along the same lines as George Ade's "Just Out of College" and has a well defined plot for a musical comedy. The staging of the play was a feature. Local set tings were used for the second and third acts. The second act was a scene in the -Midwinter in which many of the local booths were represented. The third scene had a mythical setting, a scene in the Topeka ticket office of the To-peka-Southwestern, The musical numbers were well sung and the dancing stunts well executed, and were unique and savored not of the monotonous type so frequently seen. The cast was probably the largest ever seen in a high school production and there were some stars in the rough, among the number of "would-be's." The acting of Hale Kills, Annetta Nichol, Marjorie Whitney, Esther Rodg ers, and Kate Bacon was the best of the cast. Miss Nellie Lincoln, who has charge of all the high school theatricals was the producer of "Out Bluffed, ana ner work was characterized by its usual completeness even to the smallest de tails. Miss Lincoln improves with ev ery effort and last nignt sne am more than she -has ever done before. The presentation was a creditable compli ment to her ability. The cast of the play was composea of the following: Robert McGiffert, Hale Ellis, Alfred Bartel, George Grice, Clinton Cowgill.
