Tribune, —— In formulating new regulations for the conduct of saloons, Thief River Falls has accepted the Alexandria or- diance as its model, believing that the regulations now in force here will insure more orderly management and less violation of law than the old regulations which permitted closed windows and late hours. The ordin- ance under consideration by the Thief River Falls council provides for the removal of all blinds and screens from the window, insuring an unob- structed view of the saloon interior. It also provides that saloons shall close at ten o'clock and not open be- fore six o’clock in the morning. The News-Press of that city says that the . |ordiance was patterned after an or- dinance in foree at. Alexandria and was introduced by a committee of lo- cal clergymen of that city.—Alexan- dria News Post.

In select- ing a baking powder; therefore, care should be exercised to purchase one that retains its original strength and always remains thc same, thus making the food sweet and whole- some and producing sufficient leaven- ing gas to make the baking light. Very little of this levening gas is produced by the cheap baking pow- ders, making it necessary to use double the quantity *ordinarily re- quired to secure good results. You cannot experiment every, time ycu make a cake or biscuits, or test the strength of your baking powder to find out how much of it you should use; yet with most baking powders you should do this, for they are put together so carelessly they are never uniform, the quality and strength varying with with each can purchased. Calumet Baking Powder is made of chemically pure ingredients of tested strength. Experienced chemists put it up. The proportions of the diffcrent materials remain always the . same. Seoled in air-tight cans Calumet Bak- ing Powder does not alter in strength and is not affected by atmospheric changes. In using Calumet you are bound to have uniform bread, cake or biscuits as Calumet does not contain any cheap, useless or adulterating ingred- ients so commly used to increase the weight.

These Montana Indians from the Roof of the Rockies are great admirers of the-distinguished stage star, ‘who appears in the role of Natomah, an Indian maid, in the opera of that name. The real object of the Indians’ reception to Mary Garden was the presentation by them of a pair of exquisitely beaded moccasins which the best beadworkers of the Glacler Park reservation made for her. color were used ‘in' decorating this buckskin footwear. ‘When, the squaws had finished their labor the ‘medicine men of the tribe went through the mystical rites of making “good medicine,” 8o if the wearer of the artistically beaded moccasins does not find herself becoming more nimble as Natomah it is no fault of Chiefs Lazy Boy, Medldne Owl, Bird Rattle, Wolf Plume, Fish Wolf Robe More than 200,000 beads of twenty-five shades of slx months to complete their work. macuenwudsmfifi'imtmmuweun the n.nlqnomapflon mulmdlur by mum J visit in Glacler National Park next summer, Spirefla Corsets (Not sold in stores) Wear a corset made to fit you.
