Digestibilit
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 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:
6814 Per Cent. Digested
Bread made with
alum powder:
6734 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 is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.

Yesterday afternoon Messrs. John

killed a large alligator just below

The reptile, which was a large and
evidently a very tough one, was shot
several times with a pistol without

in the Spanish-American war was
then sent for, and a shot or two from
it put the 'gator out of existence.

WHITE MAN CHARGED WITH THE
CRIME HAS COMMITTAL TRIAL.
* e e
Jim Moore Must Answer in Court to
the Charge of Having Conductor
Smith’s Stockade Burned.
Jim Moore, a well known white
man of Randolph county, who was
arrested on thee charge of being im
plicated in burning the stockade and
several mules on the farm of Con
ductor Newt Smith some weeks ago,
had a commitment trial in Shellman
Wednesday before Judge I. R, Fergu
guson, and at the conclusion of the
evidence the defendant was bound
over to the superior court under a
bond of $5OO.
The case was strenuously fought
by both sides, and the court room
would not hold the crowd that as
sembled to hear the trial. The pros
ecution was represented by Solicitor-
General Castellow and M. C. Edwards
of Dawson, while Moore's interest
was loked after by H. A. Wilkinson
of Dawson and Richard Terry of
Cuthbert.
The two negroes implicated in the
burning—Gus Wilson and Eli Dy
son—are in jail at Cuthbert in de
fault of a bond of $5OO each. Wil
son, it is said, made a confession in
which he alleges that Moore paid him
$5O to set the stockade on fire.
The case was worked up by a negro
detective, who was hired by Mr.
‘Smith. |

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.
As one grows old the waste of the
sgystem becomes more rapid than re
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele
ments needed to rebuild wasting tis
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys
tem against colds and thu, prevents
pneumonia, .
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: “Vinol {8 a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. It is the finest tonie
‘and strength-creator I have ever
used.” - “
~ If Vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.
