THE CEDAR RAPIDS EVENING GAZETTE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1906 DANGEROUS FAKES POLK SCHOOL GIVES PROGRAM "PI MANAGER HILL GIVES OUT TEAM LOCALS CLAIM HIGH HONORS HUMMER AND CLAUSEN COMPETED AT DES MOINES. 's TH08E WHO WLL WEAR CEDAR RAPID8 UNIFORM IN 1906. Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Powders Which Should be Exposed. There has recently been attempted at some of our grocery stores, and also at dwelling houses, by agents who trying to sell baking ponders, what the exhibitors call a baking powder test. They pretend to show by some boiling test that pure cream of tartar baking powders contain which every woman of Intelligence knows they do not.

It dots not need a chemist to expose this trick. Cream of tartar, which is the hief constituent of the best and most wholesome baking jiowder. Is originally a clear, white crystal. This is ground into a fine, creamy flour, in which form, mixed with baking soda, it is present In the baking of tartar, when mixed with wn-ter and boiled simply returns to Its crystalline foi m. and that is all there is to the so-called test.

The matter of special interest to the public is to know what these people offtr in place of cream of tartar powders of well-known purity and established reputation against which these slanders are directed. They are Fifth and Sixth Grades Celebrate Washington's Birthday. The fifth and sixth grades of Polk schol gave a most delightful Washington's birthday program yesterday afternoon under the direction of Misses Wilson and Beenk, about fifty visitors being present.

SATURDAY I I Have Protested Decision in Contest of Two-Men Trams at State Tournament Next Meeting Will be Held in Cedar Rapids in the Year 1907. Hummer and Clausen, the two lend ing bowler! of Cedar Rapids and anions; the very best in the state, returned to this city yeaterday afternoon from tes Moines, where they had been attending tht- annual stale bowling tournament.

In which they competed as a two-man team for the highest honors. Which according to their version, they won. However, the decision went against thnm, whereuron they entered a protest, claiming that according to The last day of our "Consignment Sale." Take advantage of these unheard of bargains at this season of the $18.00, $20.00, $22.00 suits on sale at.

Outfielders Fred Wilson, E. T. Makes and Charles Conlln. It will be very few old and familiar faces that will be seen on the ball field this spring when Manager Belden Hill brings his bunch together and commences' the championship race. Not a single familiar face will be seen In the outfield, while strangers will be found at first base and shortstop, together with a new catcher and five new pitchers.

Himes, Davis and Derham all will be missing, as will be Cameron, Berte good, honest, talkative old Harry Berte Warren Gill and Ruger all will shine elsewhere the coming season. New-faces will occupy the bench where they have been wont to sit, and new caps will be raised to the plaudits of the fans. Mr. Hill is not making any claims regarding the quality of his team. He does not claim they are a bunch of pen $1 0.85 Remember Saturday is the last day of this sale, then i A 'i.

Tiie matter Is to be decided by Samuel Karff of Dayton, Ohio, this I gentleman being tire secretary of the A. H. C. and being one of the best informed men upon this game in the whole country. At the election of the state organiza-' tion at the capital, Charles Hummer of this city, was elected secretary and treasurer, and It was due to his untiring efforts th it the boilers were prevailed uiKjn to hold their next tournament in Cedar Itaidds.

Ames out in a strong bid for the meeting, but a majority of members preferred to come to ttds city, and carried the motion through with a Sourish. The officers for the coining year are all energetic bowler and wil! work hard for the success of the tournament at Cedar Kaolds. which roinises to be the scene of the biggest event of the kind ever JM-1U In thi- state. The- two mn event at Tes Moines was one of the warmest contested affairs ever-iulled off in this part of Hie country uci-ording to all reports and it was a matter of conjecture just1 who the winners were after the alleys had been desired for the last time, in fact it was -t cl.ise that neither Hummer and Clausen or Stivers and Williams icared to acknowledge defeat. When It was decided against the Cedar Kapids men, a protest was at once started and the locals confidently believe that if the A.

B. C. rules are adhere.) to. they will eventually be declared the winners. Now for Louisville.

Since returning from the state tournament Mr. Hummer is turned ah his attentions to raising? the funds with which to send a Cedar Kapids team to the national bowling tournament to be held in l.ouisviiie. Kentucky, next month. A ietition is being a I in in the city to get subscribers for the defraying of the to be Incurred by the trip east. This team will be purely a CeJar Kapids organization and will be thoroughly representative of the spirit of "the Parlor City." Heretofore the outside world has never heard fiom local talent and.it is the ambition or all that a try-out bo made for the national honors.

It is quite an undertaking, but the bowlers feel very much encouraged -over the prosects, anil it is almost assured that they would bring home some of the money offered, by the national organisation, which an tay-jjpWanal jjuneitit- than Initial sBcIt fiBlsw ouiit he teds.

They are confident that the Cedar Rapids uniforms will not be trailed in the dust and that the Rabbits will always occupy a proud position. Something Regarding Players. A few lines regarding the players will not come amiss just at this time. The fans have been waiting long and anxiously for the announcement of their names, knowing full well, however, that, they would not be out until every other manager In the league had several tiroes' told all about his pennant inners. Claude Berry Will again don the mask for the Rabbits and this will bring Joy to the fans without exception.

He had received many requests from the heirs in different parts of the I'nited States to look the matter up and has done so. He reports that these estates are myths, and that the reports I to the contrary are being perslstenly circulated by swindlers. Among other things he sa; "With regard to imaginary estates in Holland, it may be added thatas early as 1878 the I'nited States minister at The Hague made a report in which the fraudulent character of the publications soliciting subscriptions 1.0 money from parties In the I'nited States was fully set forth.

The Holland estates include the following: The the t'ronkheit." or the "Van the "Van the the 'Brandt and the which are supposed to' represent millions of money, but which actually represent nothing.

Careful investigation induces the belief that these estates originiated in the brains of some rascally speculator or speculators, who. Imposing on human credulity, found many victims and fleeced them most profitably. If these estates ever had a bona fide existence, then they came clearly from Oxford Junction and has made a grent reputation among the independent teams of eastern Iowa. The Infielders.
