THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
Looking After the Alum and Am
monla Baking Powders.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

| Looking After the Alum anu All
monla Baking Powders.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A bill for an act, entitled "An
Act to Regulate the Traffic in Bak-
ing Powder" has been introduced
| in tahe legislature at Springfield by
Mr.. Nohe. The bill is intended to
prevent the adulteratiOn of baking
powders with Ammonia or Alum,
imposing proper penalties to en-
force the law, etc. This shows an
earnest desire on the part of our
representatives to protect their con-
stftUents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring
to the question of Legislature on
Alum and Ammonia baking pow
ders, say: at deals in a direct
manner with an evil that must be
cut down"
"Following is a partial list OF
the names of the brands sold in
this state that have been examined
and found to contain either Am
monia or Alum. Many of the
Alum and Ammonia Powders are
labeled and advertised as 'abso-
Iutely pure to mislead the public.
calumet" Forrest City," "Chica-
90 Yeast" Grants Bon Bon"
"Hotep "Taylor's One Spoon"
A'Taylors' Double Strength" "Cli-
max" "Bon. Tom clown Talk"
"Manhattan" Evans" "Dodson &
ALPS" "Shephard's" "Bain's" "Ken-
ton" 'K c." loyal" "Double
Eagle"
In addition to the above list
there is multitude of brands sold
with a prize. 1t is safe to reject
all baking powders sold with a
prize, as the tests show they are
composed largely of alum and cost
but a few cents per pound. Also
refuse any baking powder sold at
twenty-five cents pound, or less
it is sure to contain alum.
Surely nothing but their cheap
ness could induce the public to
experiment with these impure
powders at the risk of health.
Aside from the question Of health
or the wholesomeness of these con-
demned powders, and viewed from
the standpoint of economy alone,
pure grape cream of tartar bak-
ing powder like "Dr. Price's," from
its greater known strength and I'M
questionable purity, will prove
economical to the user in every
way.

Hon. Wheeler Here in the Interest
Of Deep Water.

VI Oeep water.
Hon. II. b. Wheeler, lieutenant
governor during Ross administra-
ton, arrived in the city last night
from Austin, where he has been to
arrange for bonds and other papers
for the deep water project at
Arkansas Pass. Mr.. Wheeler was
seen by reporter for the LIGHT
this morning and said:
awe are pushing matters as
rapidly as possible to secure deep
water for the coast. Everything
is progressing nicely and we are
bound to be successful if things
keep up as they are going now. In
the event we secure deep water at
Arkansas Pass, of which there is no
doubt, no place will be more bene-
fitted than San Antonio. This city
will be the chief distributing point
and deep water can have no other
than good effect on San Antonio.
| would like the citizens of San
Antonio to assist us in the matter,
as your city is as much interested
in the project as Arkansas Pass, and
will derive as much benefit there
from. The business men of San
Antonio should make a donation,
in order that the good work may
be more encouraged by the small
towns in the vicinity"
When asked his opinion of the
repeal of the silver bill, Mr.. Wheel
er replied: ~ am kept too busy
with the deep water project to
waste away time on politics. Ex-
cuse me from politics, please. l
haven't given the silver question
thought yet"

To Clean Diamonds.

To clean pearls properly requires some
care and considerable patience. but to
clean diamonds properly does not re-
quire as much. Many who endeavor to
clean the diamonds without taking them
to lapidary find when they are through
that their effort has not been success
and that the diamonds are, though pos
sibly cleaner, yet even less brilliant than
before. They may be thoroughly cleaned
and the original brilliancy retained in
the following manner: Take cup Of
warm water with few drops of am
monia in it; use little soap with soft
brush ian old toothbrush will dog and
.lean thoroughly; after cleaning rinse in
clean hot water and dry them. If con-
venient it will be more satisfactory to
drop them into little jewelers. sawdust
after rinsing and permit them to dry in
that way, whereupon they viii be found
to possess all their original brilliancy.
This method also cleans the gold setting,
which of course does not lessen its mer-

A Great Petrifaction.

have forgotten where heard this story,
but | am satisfied that did not dream it
or manufacture it. Perhaps some one who
reads it may be able to set me right How
ever, here is the story
A Yankee travelling in England listened
for some time to crowd of men talking
about the wonders they had seen in other
lands. While others expressed surprise at
what they heard the Yankee remained pas
sive, and he even yawned when others were
working up to high pitch Of excitement.
At length one of the travellers said to him:
"Have you anything in your country SO
superior and SO much more wonderful that
you could tell US about?"
.sWaal, Just have" drawled the Yankee
There's hundreds of more wonderful
things over in Ameriky that we don't pay
no heed to-"
"Oh, you mean Niagara falls and the
Mammoth cave and such things?" said one.
"Pshawl Wedon't count caves, nor water
falls, nor burning mountains, nor boiling
springs, though we can beat all creation in
such things. Say, did any of you fellows
hear of the petrifed forest in Arizony"
| Every man present declared he never had,
| though it would seem that all had seen
specimens of petrifed wood.

mean forests-hundreds Of thousands of
acres of stone forests"
| "And the trees standing?"
ssThe trees standingf WAL, should say
so, and not only standing, but all in leaf
and some of 'em in blossom, and others
again full of nuts and other fruit, all
| turned to stone mind you"
"And suppose there were birds in the
| trees?" sneered one.
Birds? Yes, sir, no end Of birds, all Of
the most beautiful plumage and all turned
| into stone. Even the nests In the trees and
| the eggs in them were petrified in the most
| wonderful way you ever saw.
| II see some of you fellows doubt me.
! WAL, all have to say is that what / am
telling you is true, and I'll bet any sum on
| it and take you there TO prove it.
"pll tell you what saw last time was

that was two years ago last 18th of July,

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The winter term of the East Maine
Conference Seminary has been given
quite a set back by the breaking out of
diphthsria there. The appearance of the
disease itself is not alarming, as thus far
only one case is reported among some
200 students, but the Board Of Health, to
he upon the safe side, has advised the
trustees of the seminary to close the in
stitution for two weeks and await re-
suits, which has been done.
Messrs. W. F. and G. E. Kakas, of the
firm of E. Kakas & Sons, furriers, of
Boston, who have beee in Belfast on
their fur buying trips, purchased about
$4,000 worth of skins, largely mink and
fox, in that vicinity.
The largest writ ever made in Waldo
county was made by ]. S. Hartman in
the case of Matthew BARS VS.. The Sar-
gent Granite Company. The writ is to
HSapver the sum of $146, 452. 40 for money
advanced the defendant by the plaintiff.
Mr.. Baird, the plaintiff, is large con-
tractor in the granite business in New
York. The defendant is a corpo alton
under the laws of the State of New York.
The case was referred to Judge George
e. johnson of Belfast. Judge johnson
returned his sealed decision Wednesday
morning, which was opened by the court,
but was returned to referee on petition
of R. F. Dunton for a hearing in behalf
of another creditor, which was granted.
Mr.. C. T. Moses of Dexter, who started
corn packing factory in Houlton years
ago, mentions as a fact worthy of note
that the corn season in his territory
grows earlier each year. He began can
ming his first 1880, on Sept. II. Since
that time he has gained a day year, and
last year began to can in August, He
attributes something of this to the in
creasing dryness of the atmosphere, but
more to imp. ovement in or accimating Of
seed.
