A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Shall Wo Drive Slow Folion From Our
Breakfast Table? Alum and Am
monia In our Broad.
A nuisance that troubled England
fifty years ago is now rapidly spread
ing in this country, that is putting
Alum in the bread we cat. This ques
tion is causing a great deal of discus
sion at tlio present moment, as it is
rovcaled that alum is being used ag a
subatituto for cream of tarter in bak
ing powders. A story is told th.t a
vory largo percentage of tho baking
powdors bold on tho market contain
either alum or ammonia, and many of
them contain both these pernicious
drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at
tho wholesalo uso of alum in bread,
biscuit and pastry. To young child
ren, growing girls, persons of weakly
framo, alum bread eaten morning,
noon and evening is tho most harmful.
It is (ho small quantities taken at
every meal that do tho mischief.
Alum is cheap, costing but two or
threo cents a pound while cream of
tarter costs 30c, and the high prico of
cream of tarter has led cheap baking
powder to bo niado of alum. If tho
reader wants to know something of
tho corrosive qualities of alum let him
touch a piocotohis tonguo then reflect
how it acts on tho tonder delicato
coalM of the stomach.
Following is a list compiled by tho
Scientific American, of the alum and
ammonia baking powders that have
already been tested : .

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is
reported by nil authorities as free from
Ammonia, Alum, Lime or any oilier
adulterant. In fact, tho purity of this
ideal powder has never been questioned.
Tho observer of tho Oregon Weather
Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is
sued the bulletin for tho week ending
Saturday, Aug. 22, 1891, tho same be
ing based upon reports received from
1-17 correspondents., which is as
WKSTKKN OREGON.
Weather. Kain fell on tho night of
tho 17th and on tho 18th, throughout
this section, in amount from .10 to .20
of an inch, except in Josephine and
Jackson counties whero only a few
drops fell. Tho temperature was be
low tho average in tho fore part of the
week, but rose rapidly towards the
closo until today when it was from 90
to 100 degrees, except along the coast.
Crops. Tho rain did no damage to
tho grain, but delayed harvesting and
threshing for one day. There was
somo slight benefit in the rain to corn
and vegetables. Winter wheat is all
cut and most of it threshed ; spring
grain is being cut. Some smut exists
in Douglas and Jackson counties.
Grain is yielding better than was ex
pected in every county: 50 bushels
per acre from a 10 acre field is report
ed fron Yamhill county; in Polk
county tho wheat generally averaged
ovor 30 bushels per acre ; most coun
ties have an average yield of from 25
to US bushels per acre. The wooly
aphis is doing damage to orchards in
Yamhill county. Tho onion crop was
injured by lice in Washington county,
but as tho acreage was incroasod, the
total crop will be above the average.
Hop growers expect to now gather a
very fair averago crop. In Douglas,
Jackson and Gurry counties the first
crop of figs is ovor and tho second
crop is now setting. Tho early peaches
are about over and tho second crop will
bo ripe next week; several car leads a
day are being shipped from Jackson
county. Josephine county is shipping
3 car loads a day of watermelons.
Fruit drying is in progress.
EASTERN OKEOON.
Weather. Haiti fell in most coun
ties on tho 19th and 20th, varying
from a sprnklo to .11 of an inch. Tho
temperature has been above the aver
age and rose, towards the close of the
week, until today it, ranged from 90 to
100 degrees.
Crops. There was no damage done
by tho rain, but harvesting operations
were delayed for about ono-half a day
in various localities. Winter wheat is
generally all threshed, and consider
able of the spring sown grain has alt-o
been threshed, except east of and
south of the Blue mountains. All re
ports indicate I lie yiold to bo above
tho expectations of tho farmers, except
in parts of Wasco county, whero tho
hot weather in July did some damage.
In Union county rust is observable.
In this county harvesting operations
aro just beginning, in otiurnian
Morrow and Umatilla counties yields
of from 30 to -10 bushels an aero are
commonly ropoitod. Fruit and inel
ons are plentiful and large .shipments
aro daily made. Wheat prices have
an upward tendency and except con
traded wheat, few farmers are selling
