London. N,\v. 6 -A dispatch to the
Times from Iterlin tays the agrarian
league has presente'd a memorial to
Chancellor von lohenlohe requestling
him to exclude all American cattle
shipped to &iermany on c·t. 2M. 'rhe
mlemorial demanda that the cattye Ie
returned to the 'nlted States, and af
t',r unlondlng, the ships that brottuht
them to (Germany, be quarantined. The
object of the memorial is to brand Ex
Chancellor von Caprivi's decree as de
fet'tive and so avoid being compelled
to acknowledge that \'o Ctaprivi had
the welfare of the agrarians at heart.
Though the efforts of the American am
bassador, Theodore liunyon, to obtain
a repeal of the measure forbidding the
importation of American cattle have
failed, further attempts will be made
to arrive at an understanding with the
government on the matter.

A news paper paragraph denounces
as "false" the claim of a baking powder
•company to an award at the World's
Fair. Whom can it mean?
Certainly not Dr. Price's. Why? Be
cause, as the records show. Dr. Price's
exhibited, competed and received the
highest award, both at Chicago and the
California Midwinter Fair. The award
in California included Gold Medal. The
official examiners pronounced it the
strongest, the purest, the most whole
some and efflclent of all the baking
powders. Its title to confidence is un
questioned.
Can it be the manufacturers of a New
York powder, fictitiously labelled "ab
solutely pure." who are making "false"
claims? That would be strange indeed,
inasmuch as they were not even con
sldered In the awards.
Was it Ammonia in the New York
powder that prevented Its makers from
competing? If not, what?
