Ammonia and alum are the most
common adulterants used in the man

Government report shows that large
percentage Of the baking powders on
the market contain either one or the
other, or both of these pernicious
drugs.
What woman would use an ammo
MIA or alum baking powder If she
knew it? Such powders not only un-
dermine the health, but ammonia
gives to the complexion a sallow or
blotched appearance. The presence
OF ammonia or alum in a baking
powder, however, can easily be detec-
ted.
To DETECT AMMoNIA-Mix one
heaping teaspoonful Of baking pow.

trine Rapids, passed out into the 6ulf
and traversed the Atlantic, and before
she reaches Tacoma will have to be
piloted through the narrows and tides of
the Straits OF Magellan.
This "whaleback" ship is the legiti-
mate outcome of an obvious necessity
when observed by daring and ingenious
intellect. From the dismasted old hulk
used as tow barge the first step was to
a more suitable barge built for the pur-
pose, and then to the round section or
cigar or whaleback barge, and SO to the
barge self-propelled, and, finally, to the
ocean-going whaleback and ROW there
appears to be nothing wanting but the
twin screw, for which her shape and
light draft admirably adapt her.
twenty-five years ago a cigar-ship, as
she was then called, was launched on
the Thames, built from the designs of
an American gentleman, Mr.. Winan,
but owing to defects OF design never
proved any success and was soon laid
aside. The present "whalebacks" will
succeed.

Is IT DESIRABLE?

The annexation of Hawaii, which is
said to be proposed in Honolulu papers
in consequence of the Mckinley bill,
should not be hastily hailed as one OF
the blessings that measure is likely 10
bring about. The addition to the BODY
polite of any large number of people
whose habits and education are radically
different from those of Americans, is OF
doubtful expediency. There is large
element in the United States in favor OF
the proposition, and those who form it
will be pleased by ever so slight an IN
dication as that in the Chicago telegram
that the sentiment is gaining q foothold
In Hawaii. The more thoughtful and
conservative citizens will pause, how
ever, before aiding the growth of the
idea. The government of the United
States is becoming very large and I'M
wieldly without annexation, and to en-
large the territorial limits will only
make it more so. Though there is no
immediate danger of annexation the
people might as we'll begin TO think
seriously on the subject before it be-
comes a fad, the indulgence OF which
may bring regret if not repentence.-
