A Lesson from the Past
Years ago, before baking pow-
ders were so well known, the
housewife sometimes made her own
from cream of tartar and soda.
These materials were then
comparatively expensive and pro-
cesses of refining had not been
devised to bring them to the high
state of purity of the present-
day well known cream of tartar
baking powders, such as Royal;
and yet she never thought of
buying alum, then as now a cheap
and inferior substitute for cream
of tartar. She wouldn't think of
permitting an ounce of alum to
enter her kitchen.
Yet housekeepers are to-day
asked to buy alum baking powders
with which to make food for their
children.
The statement on the label af-
fixed to every can naming the
ingredients of which the baking
powder is composed affords a
method of protection against the
use of undesirable kinds.

On Saturday night, last the
Bastrop postortice was burglariz-
ed. the safe blown open with
dynamite and between $-50 and
$400, together with stamps and
registered letters, taken. The
work is supposed to have been
done between 12 and - o'clock.
The safe was badly shattered,
and the glass letter box broken
by a piece of the safe striking it.
The work was evidently done by
an expert and one acquainted
with the premises. The burglars
gained entrance to the building
by prying open the back door,

the burglars workeu were taken
from Prokop's blacksmith shop,
and were all left in the building

was found in a seed house. A

lot of postage stamps were also
found in the seed house. Three
parties were arrested on suspi-
cion, one in town and two at
Smithville, but no evidence ap-
pearing against them, they were
discharged. So far, as we can
learn, there is no clue to the rob-
bery.

Our citizens generally regret
very much the determination of
Dr. and M rs. (i. T. King to change
their residence from Bastrop to
Elgin. As an excellent physician
and pleasant gentleman, Dr. King
has greatly endeared himself to
our people, while the social circle
in which Mrs. King has been sn
prominent, will miss her kindly
deeds and words of encourage
ment. Their hosts of warm Bas-
trop friends join the Advertiser
in wishing them abundant sue
cess and happiness in their new
home.
