A sratter of Health.


Houselxeepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by pedd1ers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inhame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrhoal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas<produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranesi Yet inscriptions manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders SO made, by all kinds of allur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sensations. All the low-priced or So
called cheap baking powders, and all
powders sold with a gift or prize, be-
long to this class.
Baking powders made from chemical
ly pure cream of tartar and bi-carbon-
ate of soda are among the most useful
of modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation of finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the digestibility
and wholesomeness of our food. But
baking powders must be composed of
such pure and wholesome ingredients
or they must be tabooed entirely.
DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the doc
tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad-
vantages of good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers of
bad ones in which the harsh and caus-
tic chemicals are used, are to be Sc
cured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. s'The
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream of tartar and soda refined to a
chemical purity, which when combined
under the influence of heat and mois-
ture produce pure carbonic, or leaven-
ing, gas. The two materials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in ex-
act compromising weights, SO that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically dis
appear, the substance of both having
been taken to form carbonic acid gas"
Hence it is, he says, that the Royal
Baking Powder is the most perfect of
all conceivable agents for leavening
purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those
of well-known, pure, and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents a pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warning seem
to be necessary

ANOTHER STRIP TRAGEDY.
Double Murder and Lynching of a 30
hemian.

Double Murder and Lynching of a Bo-
hemian.
ALvA, Ok, Sept. 30.-Ever since the
opening of the Cherokee strip large
foreign element has been coming in
and taking lands. 1t consists largely
of Bohemians and Hungarians, who
come in colonies of from ten to thirty.
When one of these crowds come to a
fancy they pre-empt it totally, regard
less of the superior claims of any set
tiers who may be in lawful possession.
The news reaches here that on last
Sunday two surveyors, father and son,
named Allen, attempted to locate one
of these BOhemians on young cow
boys claim about thirty-five miles
southeast of this place. The cowboy
in attempting to put them off, became
engaged in a fight with the father,
whereat the son secured Ratchet and,
in defending his father, cut the cow
boy in three places.
The cowboy, being worsted In the
tight, got his revolver and killed both
father and son. A man from that part
of the country said the cowboy was
taken to Henncssey, and that the dead
body of the Bohemian was swinging
from tree. Parties who did the hang
ing are unknown.
Representative Springer has obtained
leave to print in the Record defense
of the charges made against the in
terror department in connection with
the opening of the strip.

Products for Interstate and Export Trade
Must BE Inspected.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The owners
and managers of abbattoirs and pack
ing houses engaged in the slaughter
ing, curing and packing of swine have
been notified that beginning with Oc-
tober 1 the agricultural department
will commence an inspection of all swine
slaughtered in the United States for
both interstate and export trade as re-
quired by act of congress, approved
March 8, 1891 Secretary Merton calls
attention to the fact that this inspec-
ton is compulsory upon his depart
ment and that it is not optional with
the slaughterer or packer to accept
such inspection.
The instructions forwarded the in
spectors who are in charge of the abb
battoirs are full and explicit and if
carried out 10 the letter ought to secure
sweet and wholesome hog meat. The
inspection includes a careful ante
norton examination of all hogs and a
subsequent post-mortem examination.
Hogs slaughtered for export trade will
receive microscopic examination and
be tagged with an official certificate to
that effect. Owners of abbattoirs who
attempt to evade the law will be Sc
verely dealt with.
Hogs affected as follows will be con-
demned and carcasses stamped with
the condemnation stamp of the depart
ment: Hog cholera, swine plague, char
bon, or anthrax, malignant epizootic
catarrh, pyemia and septic@mia, scab
or mango in advanced stages, advanced
stages of actinomy, COSTS or lumpy jaw,
inflammation of the lungs or of
the intestines, Texas fever, extensive
or gene rallied tuberculosis, animals
in an advanced state of pregnancy, or
which have recently given birth to
young, any disease or injury causing
elevation of temperature or affecting
the system of the animal to a degree
which would make the flesh unfit for
human food, any organ or part of
carcass which is badly bruised or af-
fiicted by tuberculosis, actinomicosis,
abscess, suppurating sore or tape-worm
cysts, should be condemned.

The Waters OF a Michigan River Break
Into Mine and OverwheIm the Work
men-Twenty-eight Drowned.
CRYSTAL FALLS. Mich, Sept. 3d.
With roar and rush the waters Of the
Michigamme river broke through the
Mansfield mine, drowning twenty-eight
of the employees at work directly under
the stream The eighteen men who
escaped were employed in the lower
levels The accident occurred Thursday
night between 0 and 10 o'clock, but did
not become known until later. None
of the bodies have been recovered, and
it is believed it will be necessary to di-
vert the channel of the river before
they can be secured.
The Mansfield mine is situated on
the banks of the Michigamme river,
about miles east of Crystal Falls, the
county seat of Iron county. 1t has
been working between three and four
years, and has shipped about go. 600
tons of Bessemer ore. The ore lead
dipped rapidly beneath the stream, and
for more than two years the workings
have been directly under the bed of the
river.
The depression in the iron trade has
closed practically all the mines in the
Crystal Falls district. and the Mans
field was the only one from which any
ore was raised. the fine quality of its
product enabling it to keep on work
ing. The night shift had gone down,
and though some one noticed that
more water than usual was coming
into the mine, no special alarm was
felt, as the pumps seemed to keep the
drifts free. Habituated to danger, the
miners went to their work as usual, in
tent only upon the accomplishment of
the daily task that brought food and
shelter for themselves and families.
So the work went, on its usual course
until after o'clock. Then there was
a roar and rush of water. So fast came
the food that it is doubtful if the men
in the upper levels were able to reach
the shaft at all. The scenes Of horror
and death in the upper levels can only
be imagined, for no one escaped to tell
the tale. Had the men been able to
reach the shaft death would still have
been certain, for the old, or No. 1, shaft,
the only direct means of reaching the
upper levels, collapsed and fell in about
$50, cutting off all escape that way.
Had there been time the men might
have descended by some means to the
lower levels and crossed over to No.
2 shaft, but the inrushing food came
too fast.
The death of twenty-eight men
marked the end of the Mansfield mine,
for unless the river be forced to seek
another channel this rich deposit of
iron ore can never be worked again.
Eight of the victims leave families of
children fatherless, and about half of
the remaining twenty men were the
support of parents.

REBELS TAKE AN ISLAND
LONDON, Sept 3O.-A dispatch from
Brazil announces that Santa Catharina,
an important fortified island of Brazil,
surrendered to the rebels. The sur
render of this island is looked upon as
being an important victory for the
rebels, as it is contiguous to Rio Grande
do Sui, which is seriously disaf-
fected. The rebel squadron, which
went south from Santos after falling to
effect a landing there, leaving a war
vessel to blockade that port, has been
off the island of Santa Catharina for
some time past and the surrender of
Desterro, on the west coast was an
nounced, but not believed, some days
ago.
The rebels are now said to be in full
possession of the island, which is well
watered, capable of being made most
important harbor and having a superb
bay, where the rebel ships can provi-
sion and refit The dispatch adds that
the island of Santa Catherine will not
serve as base from which the rebels
will direct their inland operations, as
the commander, Adm. De Mellos, in
tends to carry en- the war ON the land
and gradually, il possible, gather to-
gether an army strong enough to meet
President Peixoto's forces in a pitched
battle. President Peixoto is said to be
greatly annoyed and alarmed at this
fresh success of the rebels.
