a MATTER OF HEALTH.

Il
[St Louis Globe-DemocraLI
At the request of Health Commissioner
Brennan, the City Chemist has collected
samples of the various baking powders
sold in St. Louis and subjected them to
analysis for the purpose Of obtaining
for the public benefit information as to
their composition and character,
whether wholesome or otherwise.
Owing to the fact that alum baking
powders are produced at cost of less
than four cents a pound, while in aP-
pearance they are hardly distinguish
able from pure cream of tartar powder
costing from eight to ten times as much
to manufacture, there have been many
of them put upon the market, and great
efforts made to substitute them for the
more wholesome cream OF tartar COM
pounds.
OF course, such powders afford wide
margins of profits both to the manu-
facturers and dealers and it is not un-
usual to find them for this reason rec
commended and urged upon customers
who would not, knowing their true
character, use them under any consid-
Grafton.
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream of tartar powder only
(the Royal: one cream of tartar
powder containing free tartaric acid;
one phosphate powder containing
sulphate of lime, and that all the
other brands are made from alum. The
samples ranged in strength from 13.47
af ,saGA
gas found in the Royal, to Cos per cent.
found in an alum powder.
The general usefulness of 4 baking
powder depends largely upon the
quantity of leavening gas it gives off. a
powder containing 13 per cent. of gas
will go more than twice rs far-that is,
one pound of such powder will raise
more than twice as much tlour-as one
that evolves but per cent. The
economy thus shown, however, is not
the greatest consideration. The low
strength powders leave large r5sidUum
in the food, which, being of alum in
It's various forms. renders the food
positively unwholesome.
Upon this point, and in describing the
character of the baking powder found
of highest strength, the City Chemist
says: "A high leavening power is req
uisite. Pure ingredients in proper
combination quicken and increase the
production of carbonic acid gas. In
this the Royal excelS all others. 1t is
the highest IN strength, in fabriquc
faultless arrangement of agents, pure
and wholesome, free from adulteration
with lime, ammonia or alum"
The result of these tests viii be read
with interest and will prove of great
benefit to housekeepers 10y enabling
them 20 distinguish the pure from the
numerous impure and unwholesOme
powders found in the market.

DIGGING For GOLD.
The Ocean Beach Safe-Cracker Is at
Work Again.
The beach safs-cracke

The beach safs-crGeker is at work again.
So sure is NJ. ID. Nelson that the long
sought pirates, gold, which is supposed to
have been cast up on the beach unknown
years ago. is at the bottom of the hole he
bored In the sand few weeks ago that he
started yesterday to sink shaft and bring
it to light.
The iron rust which he brought up out of
the hole on the point of his probe he be-
lieves to have come from the strong iron
chest which contains the fabulous wealth.
aud any theories to the contrary will not
shatter that belief. He has secured sufficient
capital to enable him to dig a hole deep
enough to reach the object of his search and
when he digs down bout eighteen feet in
the loose and yielding sand he believes that
he will be rich man. Wealth Will be his,
wealth hey ond measure, and the cruel pangs
that fall to the lot of a Woodworking, strug-
Cling mechanic will be forever gone.
Where Mr.. Nelson has located this treas
ure is just stones throw from tho south
west corner of Golden Gate Park, and to
dig hole there as deep as he will have to
90 down to secure the supposed iron box
is matter of no little consequence The
walls of The shaft Will have TO be securely
and strongly braced to resist the weight of
the sand. besides balling will have to be
constantly done to keep the well clear Of
water.
Yesterday MI Nelson was at work bright
and early, and by nightfall had constructed
what resembled huge barrel with both
ends knocked out The barrel was about
ten feet long by about five in diameter.
This will be stood up on end over the spot
where the supposed treasure lies, and as the
sand Is excavated from the inside the barrel
will be showed down TO prevent the sides
from caying in.
Mr.. Nelson has great many sympathiZers,
but many look upon his search as hopeless

the crime must have been some distance
from the grave.
The BODY could not have been brought to
where it was found from the direction of
San Pablo. as all the gates-and there are
dozen or more leading to and through the
Jersey iarm-are locked at all times.
Old residents seem TO think the man met
his death at one of the many shanties scat
tered along the coast of San Pedro Bay.
An autopsy will be held on the remains
and then the exact nature Of the wounds
will be discovered.
Two of the jurors incline to the theory
that the dead man had taken this queer
plan to commit suicide at the bottom of his
own grave, but the others believe that the
man was murdered. though the queer cir
cumstances of the interment are puzzles to
them.
Coroner Grove said that from all the cir
cumstancal evidence so far he believed that
the man was murdered.
There was nothing whatever upon him to
lead to his Identification, and this may be
the first step necessary to a solution of
the mystery.

BARRED"BOOKIES.
They Cannot Appear at the
Bay District.
Because They Did Business at the Rival
Oakland Events They Will Sc
cure No Privileges Here.

Bookmakers who defied the edict of the
Blood-horse Association and did business
at the recent Oakland meetings will not be
allowed any privileges at the spring meet
ing, which opens at the Bay District track
Saturday.
That was settled beyond further doubt
at meeting of the directors of the associa-
tiun in the Palace Hotel last night.
Arrangements were completed for the
twenty days racing The programme pro-
vides for four days racing each week
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
In the absence Of Colonel Thornton, Thomas
H. Williams presided.
Henry Schwartz, who kicked over the as
ISOLATION traces and started the rival meet
ing at Oakland, sent in communication
asking to be allowed the privilege of making
book aud selling pools at the coming meet
ing. He said that his action over the bay
had IN no way been detrimental to the in
terests of turfmen OF the State.
The directors then cleared the room and
remained in executive session until nearly
l o'clock this morning. After several
hours discussion the directors had decided
TO confirm their previous resolution de-
barring all "bookies" from the Bay Dis
trlct who did business at the Oakland
track. This means that Schwartz'S COM
municaIion il ignored and the matter stands
just as 1t did before he fled il.
1t was expected that some action would
be taken in reference to Jockey Bur-
lingame, who was warned off the track for
creating a disturbance at the BOod-horse
meeting last winter. He also took part at
the Oakland meeting. His horses have been
refused stable roem at the Bay District,
and he is now in a Quandary as 10

Friday afternoon.
There will be twenty-five bookmakers at
the track and they expect to do thriving,
profitable business.
The majority OF the racers destined to
compete in the contests have already been
quartered at the track. which is being put
in excellent condition. Many Of the horses
were worked al the track yesterday.
