Looking after the alum and ammonia
baking powders. A bill for an act in re-
lation to the manufacture and sale of
baking powders, to prevent fraud and
preserve the public health has been intro
duced in the legislature at st. Paul The
bill is intended to prevent the adultera-
ton of baking powders with alum or
ammonia, imposing proper penalties to
enforce the law, etc.
This shows an earnest desire on the
part of our State representatives to pro-
tect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the
question of legislation on alum and am
monia baking powders, says: 1T deals
in a direct nanner.with an evil that
must be cut down..
DR.. Chas. w. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Diary and Food Com
nilsson, in his elaborate report of 1892,
gives a list of one hundred and seventy
three different brands of alum baking
powders alone-sold in Minnesota.
Following is list of the more widely
known brands that DR.. Drew, as well as
other chemists of high standing, have
examined and found to contain alum,
and some of which contain both alum
and ammonia. MANY of the alum and
ammonia powders are labeled and adj
vertised as absolutely pure" to mislead
the public.

''Snow Ball." Government, !" "P llace,''
Loyal" Columbia Home" mon
arch" ''Unrivalled," Chicago Yeast"
echo, /" "zipp's Crystal" Perfection

In addition to above list, there is a
multitude of brands sold with prize,
1t is safe to reject all baking powders
sold with prize as the tests show they
are composed largely of alum and cost
but few cents pound. Also refuse
any baking powder sold for twenty-five
cents pound, or less; it is sure to con.
tain alum
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impure powders at the risk Of
health. Aside from the question of the
health or wholesomeness of the con.
demned powders, and viewed from his
standpoint of economy alone, pure
cream of tartar baking powder like DR..
Prices from its greater known strength
and unquestioned purity will prove more
economical to the user in every way.

THE BOND ADJUSTMENT.

When the Little Fails and Dakota
railway was built Sank Centre voted,
with only half dozen dissenting bal
lots, to issue $4,000 of bonds in aid of
the road. At that time the township,
and what is now the city, were one vot-7
ing and taxing precinct. These bonds
were issued in December, 1882, for ter
years at eight per cent. interest, and ac-
cordingly fell due last December. They
were issued as the bond of the township
of Sank Centre, but since the incorpora.
ton of the city special law was passed
providing that the city and to wnship
should pay in proportion to their as
sessed valuation. This law was passed
because of decision of the Supreme
court Of this state deciding that the vii
lage Of Lake City, which had been incor-
porated, including part of the township
of Lake City, was not liable for any
part of the debt of the township. The
city of Sank Centre has been paying
the Interest on its proportion OF the
railroad bonds for years, but now that
the principle is due and there being no
money available in either the township
or city treasury with which to meet the
debt, the perplexing question of refund
ing the debt has arisen and must be dis
posed of.
A Joint Yneet;no of the township and
city officers was held recently, and an
agreement was reached which ought to
be satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The nature of this agreement will be
learned by reading report of the pro-
ceedings of the meeting, printed else
where in this paper. If the creditors will
consent to an extension at a reduced
rate of interest, say six per cent, the So
luton of the difficulty will be compare
lively easy for the present-although it
will eventually arise again when the ex-
tension limit is reached. The town and
city clerks are corresponding with the
bond owners relative 20 the matter now.
The city attorney and the attorney for
the town board are giving the matter
personal attention. and the interests of
both the city and town will be carefully
guarded. The equities as between the
two seem to have been arrived at very
closely, and it is gratifying to know that
there is no friction.

SILVER.

As indicative of the effect of the present
unsatisfactory financial condition of the
country, due largely to the so-called
Sherman act. which provides for the pur-
chase of 4, 500, 900 ounces of pure silver
syery month by the treasury ]. F.
Cooper, city clerk, has letter from an
eastern banking house stating that it
must decline making any offer for the
proposed bonds to refund the railroad
indebtedness of Sank Centre until after
the repeal of the Sherman law. So long
as the government is attempting to keep
ahoat money OF such unequal value as
gold and silver at a parity, where there
is really difference of fully fifty per
cent. in actual values, there will be a
feeling of uneasiness which will discour.
age new Investments. The silver dollar
of 4121a grains is doomed. 1t has no
standing outside the territorial limits of
the United States, where it is quoted as
bullion worth sixty-fiye cents, and the
effect is to drive gold ont of the country.
There is danger of the nation being
driven to silver standard. in which
case gold will be quoted at premium
and disappear from general circulation,
useful as money only in liquidating bal
ances with foreign nations and paying
such domestic contracts as are specially
made payable in gold.
1t is fact, the significance of which
seems to be underestimate, that nearly
all mortgages drawn within the past
five years, and many even older, have a
gold clause, requiring both principal and
interest to be paid in the yellow metal.
An appreciation in the relative value OF
gold will be hardship upon every mort
gage debtor, who will be compelled to
go into the open market and purchase
the gold with which to liquidate, or
what is equivalent to pay in silver or
currency with the premium added.
These are cold facts and not imaginary
surmisings or tanciful creations of in
yentiye intellects.

FROM every source comes the one pre-
diction that the crop prospects of wheat.
both at home and abroad are not en-
couraging. A shortage in supply is pre-
dicted, and very large one at that.
And yet in the face of it all wheat is very
low-lower than it has been for quar-
ter of a century at this season of the
year. Surely, there seems to be very
little confidence in these predictions. or
else some illeeitimate influence is at work
to depress prices.

"A number of farmers have told us
recently that many of the wheat fields in
this county will not need seeding this
year. 1t will be remembered that
violent storm of wind, rain and hail
swept over this county last year just as
the crop was ready to be harvested, in
hieting severe damage upon all standing
grain. Some grain was shelIed by the
storm and much beaten to the ground
so that it could not be harvested. This
grain remained upon the fields, was
plowed under in the. fall and, these far
mers claim, has remained in the ground
during the winter with its growing
properties unimpaired. 1t is now grow
ing and gives promise of a good crop,
without the addition OF more seed. If
this claim proves to be well founded to
anv considerable extent, there will be
something saved upon last year $ losses
after all. Further developments will be
watched with Interest.-f Morris Tri-

hairless horse a genuine wonder. The
general attractions are combined in a

drome, performing arenas, mid-air car
nivals, tropical aquarium, aviary, royal
