You desire to avoid it. Dr Price's Cream Baking
Powder contains no alum or lime phosphate. Its
use is therefore a safeguard against objectionable
mineral salts which are left in the biscuit and cake
when made with inferior powders.
Chemists have shown that a large percentage of
the chemicals of which alum baking powders are
made remains in the food in the form of Glauber's

Serbian Immigrant Now One of
World's Greatest Scientists.
New Discovery to Add to Wealth of
Man Who Came to the United
States Penniless in 1874.
The man wh«i made transcontinental
telephony possible announced recently
that he had completed an invention
that would free wireless telegraphy J
from static Interference, much the
same trouble that so loog hindered the
transcontinental telegraph. ile is
Prof. Michael I. Fupln, who came to 1
America in 1874 a penniless Serbian j
Immigrant, according to the Kansas
City Times. His inventions already
have netted him $1,000,000 and his,
'most recent one probably will bring) j
him In a sum running Into the hun-!
dred thousands.
Wireless transmission has heretofore
been subject to one serious handicap,
a composite of atmospheric and phys- j
l«*ul troubles known to scientists as
static interference. Under such con- I
(iitlons it Is often impossible to get j
a wireless message through for days
and during portions of almost every
day transmission is out of the ques-
tion.
Vrofessor Pupin announced a year
ago thet he believed he had solved
the problem. Recently he stated that
lie bad perfected his device and now
knew that It would meet all require-
ments. The value of his Invention in
time of war Is tremendous, as it would
give the side possessing it u great ad-
vantage over its foes. For that rea-
son I'rofessor Pupin asserted that he
would not make public the secret of
his invention until the close of the
war, and that the United States
should be the first to possess it.
This one-time Serbian Immigrant !
also Is the inventor of the present sys-
tem of occau telephony. Ile received
$-00,000 for that Invention. The same
"loading" coil that rendered ocean
telephony possible also put an end to
the difficulties of transcontinental tel-
ephony. He is rated as one of the
world's foremost electrical scientists.
It was to escape service in the army
that Pupin fled to America. He had
no dream of becoming a scientist
then; he wanted only some peaceful
occupation. When he lauded In New
York he did not taava a cent. Drifting
from one Job to another, lie finally be-
carae a form hand In New York state.
The daughter of the farm owner inter-
ested the Serbian lad in education;
and Pupin went back to New York city
determined to acquire learning. He
| worked as a masseuse In a Turkish
| bath shop and In hi# spare hours stud-
ied at the night school of Cooper i
Union. He progressed so fast that
when a friend obtained for him a !
scholarship in Adelphla college he was
able to hold his own with the other
students. From Adelphla he went to |
| Columbia university, then to Cam- |
| bridge and finally to the University of j
Berlin, where he studied under the
j German master scientists.
He came back to America as a pro- j
fessor at Columbia University, but he
was not content merely to tench; he
at once turned to the practical use of
his scientific knowledge. So valuable
as an inventor is he that the Columbia
authorities have an arrangement with
him that when he wishes to devote his
time to some invention he Is not re-
quired to give any attention to univer-
sity work.
The Serbian government several
years ago acknowledged his services
to humanity by making him honorary
consul general to New York.
In War-Torn Monastir.
When I saw Monastir for the last
time, fully one-half of Its population
were still biding In the cellars and hop-
ing that the Bulgarians might be
driven on, says Herbert Coi4y, In the ;
National Geographic Magazine. The
streets were empty. The one cafe that j
remained open was tenanted only by I
French soldiers singing a rousing Gal-
lic chorus; and in the single restaurant
the only guests besides myself were
the Italian officers. At night there is
never a light in the city.
I have never felt so absolutely alone
as In wandering through these bread, i
white, moonlit streets. When a
regiment of tired men shuffled by, their
hobnails scraping on the cobbles, I sat
down on the curb to watch them. They j
took the curse of emptiness off the j
town.
Then an English officer came up and
asked the sort of a question one learns
to expect from an Englishman and
from no other man ou earth.
"Where," said he, "can I find a pi-
ano? We want to have a sort of a
sing-song tonight."
He Wanted to Sleep.
Policemen on duty along the East
side In New York become accustomed
to about everything and register
amazement only after long considera-
tion of the thousands of odd things
about them when they find something
new or inexplainable. One morning
the cop on the Second avenue beat
found one. It was a tatte/ed and
mangey fur coat which hung over a
'street light, making the sidewalk dark
at that particular spot. As he climbed
up to remove It a voice from the house
—It was an irritable and sleepy voice
j—halted him. "Get away," roared tlie
sleepy one. "All night I don't get a
chance to sleep on account of that
, light. Don't touch It; 1 put It out there
<>n purpose After which the coat was
| neatly rolled and slammed back where
(it originally came from.
