Does Your
Baking Powder
Contain
Alum?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M. D., University of Penn.: “ AU
the constituents of alum remain (from alum baking powders) in
the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to al, intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the
process of digestion. I regard the use of alum as highly injurious.”
Dr. Alonzo Clark: “A substance (alum) which can de­
range the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder.”
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist: “ I believe
it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of
food articles.”
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: “ I regard their
(alum and soluble alumina salts) introduction into baking pow­
ders as most dangerous to health.”
»
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
Baking powders made from cream o f tartar, which is highly
refined grape acid, are promotive o f health, and more efficient.
N o other kind should be used in leavening food. Royal Baking
Powder is the highest example o f a pure cream o f tar’ar powder.

During the late Spanish-American
war a certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
very indignant ltecause he was pnt
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one of the
New York volunteer reigments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal interview with
the president. He succeeded in gain­
ing an audience, and the president,
after listening to his plea, said, kindly:
“But, my good Col. J------, yon
have only one eye I”
“Just so, sir,” was the prompt re­
joinder, “ but can’t yon see the great
advantage of my having only one eye?
When I aim my gun I shan't have to
close the other!”
He fought at Santiago. — Youth’s

Unable to obtain an electric railway
or to induce the Big Four Railroad
company to improve the service north
of Wabash, Ind., the citizens of North
Manchester have taken briskly in hand
the matter of buying an automobile to
run between Wabash and that place, 14
miles. There is a great deal of travel
to Wabash, the county seat, from that
portion of the county, but the Big Four
does not run its trains to accommodate
it. Negotiations are now on for a
horseless carriage with which it is
proposed to make three or four round
trips a day, carrying passengers for 75
cents both ways. If the project suc­
ceeds the carriage w ill he put on this
fall and w ill be the first application of
the automobile.

The management of the Oregon In­
dustrial Exposition at Portland has pro­
vided well for the children, whom we
have with us always, and whose lives
shonld he brightened. The feature of
the fair that gives them the most en­
joyment is the big steam merry-go-
round. They never tire of it, and as
they dismount from their prancing
steeds they are always happy and ready
for another ride.
The extreme point of Land’s End,
the most westerly point of England,
has been described as resembling the

A natural tunnel runs right
through it, and is about 60 feet high.

The cathedral of Cologne is naturally
the chief place of interest in that fam­
ous city. It took almost six centuries
and a half to build, having been began
in 1248 and finished in 1880. Its style
of architecture is Gothic, and it has
eight chapels, which contain the re­
mains of eight archbishops, and the
skulls of “ the three wise men of the
East.” The Church of St. Ursula is
decorated inside with the bones of
some of the 11,000 virgins who, with
St. Ursula herself, were murdered bj

It is worth a trip to Portland to see
the war museum at the exposition
there. Captain E. S. Edwards took
his coat right off and went to work,
and has gotten together the largest col­
lection of war weapons ever seen in the
Northwest. Most of them were cap­
tured in the Philippines by the Ore­
gon volunteers. The museum is the
carrying out of an Idea suggested and
followed up by Dan McAllen, one of
Portland’s most enterprising business
men, and it is all for the benefit of the
monument fund.
