iA Remarkable Trip. MThe performance of the Chalmers 'Six" in traveling from Toledo to. dayton and from Dayton to Detroit, jrhile the recent disastrous flood was 8 ite 'hftirrht in Ohio. regarded by Itorists as one of the most remark- j e feats of the kind on record. The x" was sent out as a relief car; i was driven by Freeman Monroe, t> won fame by piloting the champImotorboat Kitty Hawk to a new last Vfiar. With the Htion of three punctures, picked the debris littered streets of 2, it was not necessary to make H^^le adjustment or repair to the B^ar during *he whole time. Although loaded down with extra j mo^ir>al CTlTknllfVi and DfO- I f ip 1LLV ii UIVU4V Avisions until it weighed more than 6,000 pounds, the machine went every j ^ foot of the way on its own power and was never stalled. Trains were running between Detroit and Toledo and the car was shipped by rail from the factory to All xtriroc wpfp dOWll Cllt; UUiU lunu. illi nuvu , and there were no means of communi-| cation or transportation between Tole- ! do and Dayton. Motorists and city au-1 thorities in Toledo attempted to dissuade the Detroit men from attempting the trip, declaring that the roads ' ^-were not only impassable on account of the mud but that the high water! made the attempt exceedingly dantrorn 11s Nevertheless just at dawn, a few; hours after the arrival in Toledo, Monroe took his place at the wheel and started out for the flood stricken city. The 'battle with hub deep mud be- j gan th^ minute the car left the paved ; ^ streets. jffc Time and again Monroe found it / necessary to back up and buck the mud I r as a snow plow clears the drifts. A m Mhort distance out of Toledo the roads j T were two and one half feet under water for stretches of a mile at a time, j And there was practically no bottom to the roads. At some points there was nothing . to indicate the position of the Toad but occasionl fence posts at' either side, exposed for a few inches above I the murky flood. Near Kenton, 0., the j only bridge over what was ordinarily a sluggish creek but now a swollen > torrent, was washed away. No advantage could be made by det^uring ajid after a hasty survey of the situation it was decided to "shoot" the stream. Taking a start of several rods the driver launched the machine into the swirling waters. Fortunately the bed of the,creek was solid and in less time than it takes to tell the car was on the other side. The creek was over five feet deep in the middle. ^ All day and all night the car fought ^ its way, sometimes through fields and sometimes on the turf along the roadside. The following morning the relief party arrived in Dayton. They immediately offered their services, with the car, to the authorities and were assigned to attempt a dash for Hamilton, 55 miles distant, to learn >vof conditions there. The trip was made in one hour and ?> minutes, an average of better than 25 miles an hour. The journey back to Detroit was r etortoH Sunday after the flood be i gan to recede. Sunday night was t spent in Toledo and the party arrived at the Chalmers factory early Tuesday. The speedomoter showed that the $ar had traveled twice the distance ^fhat would have been covered under ordinary conditions. In one instance * it was necessary to detour 30 miles In order to advance two. In sections of Michigan the roads* ,<Xhad been considered absolutely impassable for vehicles of any kind for three months, but the "Six" went through without a hitch. - ' The car carnea to uayivu me ucuo, Several hundred feet of rope, a collapsable canvas boat, medical supplies -and a quantity of provisions, all of tohich were turned over to the officials > in charge of the relief work. The hazardous expedition was planned that C. A.

R The dairymen and feeders of beef B cattle in this State are realizing more W the economical value of silage as a f food. If you keep dairy cows or beef cattle and have not a silo, then you s should make an effort to build one this season so that it can be filled in the \ ^frall for winter feeding. No person having as many as ten cows can afford to do without a silo. i What is a silo? A silo is a tank or I Jit, preferably round, with air-tight Avails, in which green and succulent feed can he preserved in a slightly fpT^p0rit-'"!onrt*tinr. +'^- f- 1? ICP Silage one of the hpp* and most I economical bulky or rough feeds for cattle. A number of the dairymen nrw poTririor Si 0 00 a t^n -?^tv.: swhen thAv n^n'-V ^ duced silage for $1.50 to $3 "0 on. ; \ This includes the entire expenditrfor the crop from the tim-e you begin cultivating the land until the silage is stored in the silo. The cost of silage depends largely upon the quantity of corn or sorghum that you can grow to the acre. Some people in this State have produced as much as 9 tons of i silage to the acre, while others have j not made more than 3 tons to the | acre. Three tons to the acre, however, is an exceptionally low production. Experiments have shown that by the use of silage dairymen have gotten one-third more milk at one-third less cost than where hulls were used. We are prepared to give you personal assistance in the construction of a silo, as well as advise regarding the grow- i o -n A tr\aAi rr nf o zirnn fr\T lug, v/uitijuig auu ic&uiug <_>i a vi uj; iui silage. A silo can be put up with your own farm labor. Tf you begin work on a silo this spring, or early j in the summer, personal assistance can be given to more people than if you wait until August or September, A bulletin on "Silos and Silage" will rhe ready for distribution at an early date.

That is what that parrot said when he first said "I know what's the mat ter with me." Atlanta, Ga., April 28.?Tonight's general session of the Southern Sociological Congress came to an unexpect- \ ed end when Dr. A. J. McKelway, of | Washington, D. C., the presiding ofR-1 cer, interrupted the remarks of Dr. E. M. Poteat, president of Furman University. Greenville, S. C. Dr. Poteat, in delivering an address on "National Stewardship," launched into a criticism j of Catholics and Je^ys. As he was saying, "I don't see wher-? a red cap adds any brains?"Dr. McKelway arose and intormea tne speaKer in<n_ me uuiigicos was non-denominational.

C., April 26.?Arrangements have been made by the Southern railway to furnish sanitary individual drinking cups to passengers | on all trains and a large supply of | cups of the collapsible ppp?r type has : been ordered. As soon as the cups f "hflvp? been received \each conductor I will be furnished with a supply and i any passenger desiring a cup will re! ceive one free of charge on application to the conductor. Notices to this j effect will be posted in each coach. Furnishing drinking cups to passengers on the large number of trains operated by the Southern Railway will involve a substantial expendifui j I which is being undertaken to provide ; for the convenience of patrons of the railway. All common drinkin- tips have been removed from train< i; compliance with United States O n rn! ment regulations and the statutes and ordinances ol many siaies aim ucipalities. Hereafter passengers on Sov.r';ern : Railway trains will be put to no inI convenience or expense in regard to I drinkiEg water and at the same i?me will not be subject to any possible infection through the use of tho common ; drinking cup. a Car Breaking law.

Tells Pastors to Eat 2 Apples a Day. Pittsburgh, Pa., April 28.?After being urged to eat a little meat and plenty of peas, beans and eggs, 60 meat eating ministers today took off their coats and tried to touch fingers to the floor without bending the knees. Few succeeded but progress was noted by a lecturer who came here to teach Pittsburgh preachers "how to get well and stay well." "The food for a laboring man must be different from the food for a professional man," it was stated "Every minister ought to eat at least two apples a day aDd plenty of cabbage.

J powders on the market, viz: (1) Minj eral-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 something about these ingredients, ' and which kind is used in your bak11 | mg puwuei . (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 ifl 1 retained which is alum. Alum is cheap, costs ahont two ceote a i>ouna, and? , baking powder made with thin Min V I / 000 '25" i \ v 1 55 STUDEBAKER "25" v e-Passengers, Four tinders, Long Stroke, inch Bore x 5-inch ' oke. tylene Primer lountable Rims debaker Jiffy Curtains :tric Horn ;vart & Clark Speedoer p Upholstery : Mohair Top itilating Windshield 1 Elliptic Springs st-o-lite Tank i Holders :ra Rim *: 1 Set of Tools )lBox ???????J ???'___v . unnr pooD | < ' * r ( rage eet. eral-Acid sells from 10 to 25 cents a pound. (2). Bone-Acid, of Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a large manufacturer of a phosphate powder. The U. S. patent office reports gives a full and exact description, but the following extract is enough: "Burned bones, after being ground, are put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and with continual stirring and in the following proportion," etc. From this Bone-Acid Phosphate baking powders are made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound." (3). Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes, and flows with the juicewhen the grapes are pressed. The tar tar is subsequently gathered from the cask, boiled with water, and refined, when crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pure, separate 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 ingredient that should be used in a baking powdeT to act upon the soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond ques' *? ^ ~ lion, uream ui. aaiuxi >u<uuug j^v ders sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound. Such are the facts and every one, careful of the health of the family, should remember this rule: Baking 7 powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a pound are made of Mineral-Acids; those selling from 20 to 30 cents of "Rnn^-Aeid: and those from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar derived from grapes.
