Kansas Farmers Killed in Destruc-

Kansas Farmers Killed in Destruc-

Prairie fires ragged in Western Kansas for

Their names were: William Bailey. Dave
Hutchinson, Albert Moore, A. Mcdonald.

The prairie fire had been discerned an

mates had made for an openSpace' where they
hoped they might be enabled to tight off the
torrent OF fire. Quickly getting to work,
tney cleared off the ground for several
yards around them, and as best they could
oos trench around the space.
Ihei- efforts, however, were futile, for as
the lire approached the wind arose, and,
changing just as it reached their frail cor
don, whirled in one awful torrent and
burned the poor victims lives out before
they had hardly realized their danger.

SERIOUS FACTS About BREAD
which Housckeepsrs should Earnestly
Consider.

which Housckeepsrs should Earnestly
Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health
of the people of this country in the nu-
merous alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon the public.
There is no question as to the detri-
mental effect of these powders upon the
system. Every Board of Health every
physician, will tell you of the unwhole-
some qualities they add to the food.
Some countries have absolutely pro
hibited the sale of bread containing
alum.
Even small doses Of alum. given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn, indigestion,
gripping, constipation, dyspepsia, and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum phos-
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice of every physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will iniure the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum powders
danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are sold,
or from the fact that they are accom-
panied by gift, are disposed of under
some scheme. The alum powder costs
but few cents pound to make, and Is
often sold at 20 Or 25 cents a pound.
If some present is given with it, the
price may be 80, 40 or so cents pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at a low price, or adver
TIED as costing only half as much as
cream Of tartar powders, accompanied by
a present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain protec-
ton of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger Of Embellishments IS in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because Of the
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. S. Gov
eminent, and by the official chemists and
Boards of Health, which leave no doubt
as to it's entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, its absolute purity and
wholesomeness. While its use is thus
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it is satisfactory at the same
time to know that it makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with i'm
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength it
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn deaf ear to all opportunities to
buy the inferior powder. If a grocer
urges the sale Of the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be borne in mind that it
is because he can make more profit on
them. The wise housekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using doubt
ful article aohere 50 important a matter as
the health or life Of dear ones Is at stake.
