THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
LouUIns Aftui- the Aliou sad Ainmonls

Ponland Omgontan,) .
A-bill for an act In relation to the
iiianufueture und sale of baking pota
der, to prevent fraud and to "preserve
the public health ha been Introduced
In the legislature ut St. Paul. The
bill Im intended to prevent the adulter
ation (if linking powder with Alum
or Ammonia, imposing proper penalties
to enforce Iho law. "
Dr. 0. 8, BliiHwungcr, Professor of
Chemistry etc., medical department
University of Oregon, made nu exam
ination some time ago of the baking;
powder found lu tin Portland atorea
- mm- nwm di wnicu appeaiwi iu
me
vn-ntuaiii . oimwauin iu
then
pressed himself as follows)
"I have Jut Oulshed an abwla
tha principal baking powders sold Id
the market, with th following result!
"Hercules," This powder wnitalu
auiiiiuiila."
"Crystal." Thl powder ooutalus
alum,
"Double Quick." Thl powder oou'
ulna alum
"silver HUr." This powderi'onUlu
alum.
"VVIille Lily," This powder oon
Uln alum,
'Dr. I'rlw's Cream Baking Pow
der." This I a pun cream of tartar
powder and oon tains neither alum nor
ammonia,
It will be observed thai Ir. Price's
waa found by Dr. Blnswsnger to be
a pure cream of tartar baklug powder
and the only brand free from alum,
ammonia or any Impurity,
Following Is a list of lbs mors widely
known brands that Dr. Drew, chemit
for th Mtuuesota State Dairy and
Food Coiiuulwlou, as well a other
oh.eiulst of high standing, have exam
ined ami found to contain Alum, some
of which contain both Alum and Am
monla. Many of the Alum aud Am
moula powders am tabled aud adver
tised a "absolutely pure" to mislead
the public. Ths coudemiied powder
given In this Hat are sold pretty gener
ally through Oregon and Washington
1alutnet,M "Forest City," "Oraut's
Uon Ikm," "Hotel," "Globe," Puritan,"
"Snow Ball," "Governmeut," "Palace"
"Loyal," "Columbia," "H"," "Mon-
5b,"UnrivaUI," "Chicago Yeast,"
'Echo,,,"Perfitlon,, "Whlla Ro,"
'Hatchet.", "Crowu."
In addition to above lUt, there art
many brand sold with a prise, it
safe to reject all baking powdet sold
with a prlxo, as the tests show they are
enmpoaed largely of Alum and oust but
a few cent a pound. Also refuse any
baking powder sold for twenty-five
cent pound or lee; 111 sure to oou tain
Alum,
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could Induce the public lo experiment
wllb these Impure powders at ths risk

TI END OF li TIM
By JAMES IHAPP REEVE,
it was not difficult to get trace of her,
and shs cams to him at once, snd gladly.
They were both social outlaws, and they
found that th less conventional south
srn life suited them capitally. She told
him of his brother's munificence toward
her.
"1 pretended to be terribly grieved
my banishment," the wild. "But 1
was not going to stand In the way of his
helping you. 1 knew you would Dud
me quick enough when yon had tlte
obance," shs added coulUleutly. "And
this money that be has bad paid me, see!
1 have used only a little. lie told I had
ruined yon; so 1 thought if you came
out a beggar this might help you a
little."
With this she tossed toward him a
shower of bill.
"All honest money," she cried,"earned
by being good and staying away from
you. Just tntui now rtcn I could be tu
ten years."
She laughed as she said Uiti, bnt in a
moment bad changed sgaiu, and said
petulantly, as a spoiled child:
"But 1 nave no chance to prove my
devotion. 1 see you are rolling in wealth,
1 cams to play at love in a cottage and
you put me in a mansion.''
She smiled quietly as she rattled on,
and after a little hi silunce attracted
her notioe. 8ha looked at him curi
ously. ,
Why don't you talkr she asked.
'You are a solouin as an owl as solemn
as that brother of yours that sent me
away."

"Yes; hs helped me to escape, and
then staid In my cell in my place,"
"I did not think be cared ' that much
for yon, or for any one."
"I did not think any person would
care that much."
"Yes," said Leonie, nodding her head
with an air of conviction, "that is doing
somothing, It la. not much to be willing
to live in a cottage; I was willing to do
that. It is not much to offer to give up
money. Miss Tennant did that"
"What 1 that? 1 dou t understand; 1
dont know what you mean," interrupt
ed her companion,
"You don'tt Then I am sorry I spoke.
said Leonie dryly. "I am not fond of
sounding ths praises of that model
young woman. I warrant she' would
never do as much for me. Bnt if you
want to know, she went to old Rodiley
and offered to give np everything she
had to the bank if it would let you off."
How do you know this? Who told
your .
"Rodney told me himself."
And then she stopped short, as if she
had said mors than she hud intended.
But how the mischief did that hap
pen? Row did he come to tell you?
Where did you see him?
The question were thrown out in
rapid succession.
Leonie looked at him defiantly, with
heightened color,
1 will toll you all now," she said. "I
had not meant to but 1 am not going to
praise her above myself, 1 saw him nt
bis house. 1, too, offered to give up all
1 had, if it would help you,"
"What did the old curmudgeon sayr

CHAPTER V1L
Ton tr Offdea CTintaer. Tctt ta
efutt tt mom."
Almost a half score of year of ths
lockstep snd other little matters of pris
on discipline had left their Impress on
Ogden Chalmers. There were deep
lines in his face and gray threads In bis
hair whim at last the state waa satisfied
and had declared htm again a free man.
He felt no elation at the fact that he
wa to go out into the world again and
become a part of It. lie hsd lost touch
with it, and felt that be had no longer
any share iu the world" work. Al
though lis had not thought of it, per
haps if the question had been asked he
would just ss lief have served the rest
of his day out there. The prison life
does not make a man ambitious, anx
ious to cope with hi fellow.
At the warden s ofllco, where he must
f o for hi formal discharge, a woman
was waiting to meet him. Some sister
of mercy a would 1 good Samaritan,
be supposed, and wished she had not
come, but with hi old instinct of cour
teey toward all women he went forward
and greeted her.
It wa Lina Tennant
"I wrote to the warden," she said in
quick explanation. 'Ile told me it
would be today) so I have come to see
yon and to sy goodby,"
Chalmers stum at her, but did not
answer, etie bad not extended tier
hand nor given any other sign of greet
ing or of recognition beyond ber me.-e
words. He tried to think why she had
come why at all if only to say goodby
nd why was beocold and distant? It
had not been so when they last met. lie
looked down while he wn asking him
self this, aud hi eye took in the coarse
nit that had replaced his prison dress.
He was nut a convict now bnt and
slowly and fearfully the truth dawned
npon him burned like molten iron
through all his bciug sent the rod
blood surging np over face and fore-
head made him shrink and cringe from
this woman's eye as be had never be
fore from any human being dawned i
upon him, I say, the fact that now and i
for all time he was an ex-convict To
Lina Tennant, to all pure women and
noble men he was now and for all time
an outcast He heard her word bnt
dully a the spoke again. He wished
that she would have mercy on him aud
go away. -
I promised you, he heard her say
ing, "that 1 would wait, that if living 1
would be here to meet you today. This
promise 1 have kept, although you can
not know what it has cost me. But
another promise that I made 1 cannot
keep, and because I am not willing that
you should mistake my reasous and so
think hardly of me I will tell you why.
If you had not deceived me I would yet
have been your wife. If, having de
ceived me, you had yet confessed your
wrong and asked to be forgiven I might
have yielded. But now both love and
and faith In you are dead. Goodby,"
She put out her hand with the last
words, ami Chalmers took it and held it
close in his own, while his poor confused
brain tried hard to understand her
meaning.
She had promised to be his wife.
No, not his, but George' wifo, and now
she would not, for "both love and faith
were dead." Love for him? No, for
George that was dead. She was talking
of Georgo, not to him. And she thought
It wa George before her.
Chalmers held her hand in a grasp of
iron, so that she winced with pnin; but
he did not see, for ho was clinging,
through it, to life and hope and love.
"Lina! Una lonnant. His voice was
only a hoarse whisper, bnt something in
It brought a startled look to her faco,
"Look at me," he said. "1 am not
George Chalmers. Do you not know
mo?' :. ..
Yes, yes," she said, gassing at hiin
with wide eyes. "I know you. I know
you now. You are Ogden Chalmers,
Tell me what it means. How did you
come here?"
"Wait!" he answered, cautioning her.
"Not here not In this place, Lot us go
away, outside anywhere,"
