ENDANGERs THE HEART.
Alum Found to Be Predisposing Cause of
Diseases of That organ.

ALUM 1Ouuu 70 be FreQ1SQoS1ng cause of
Diseases of That organ.
Recent DEVELOPMENTS indicate that
strong measures will have to be taken
to suppress the free sale and use of
alum baking powders if the health of
the people is a matter of legislative
moment.
These powders are now sold decept-
lively nearly everywhere as cream of
tartar powders, and if the sale is per-
mitted to continue the result will be
most serious.
1t is healthful sign that many states.
are limiting by law the sale of the
alum baking powder. Very soon it
will be prohibited in all the states, or
treated as a poison, as it should be.
Beside their other evil influences, it
has been discovered, the use of baking
powders made from burnt alum coagu-
lates the blood very rapidly, which in
feres with its free flow through the
arteries and valves of the heart.
Many people are suffering from some
form of heart disease who have no idea
of the cause of it.
ANY disturbance of the digestive
organs affects the hearts action, and
therefore every food which interferes
with digestion is responsible where
there are troubles of this character.
Formerly alum was used as a specific
for children's Group but owing to it's
tendency from the causes named to
produce heart failure, physicians no
longer employ it.
In face of such facts and in view of
the overwhelming testimony of scien-
lists as to the poisonous character Of
this drug when used for food purposes,
can there be any excuse for the ignor-
ance or unconcern which permits any
one 60 take from the grocer a package
of alum baking powder, simply for the
sake of saving few cents in price?
Where alum powders are not branded
as such, nor their sale prohibited by
law it is better to avoid the use of any
new or doubtful baking powder until it
LOS OCOh bAd4y AOO' uO IIGJ VI OH
powders may be suspected if they are
sold at price lower than the price OF
the best standard brand. We know
the ROYAL to be first class cream of
tartar powder, and if consumers insist
upon having that brand, they will be
sure of pure, healthful article. In
view of the recently reported case of
poisoning of a whole family living near
Logansport. Indiana, from the use of
alum powder, it behooves everyone to
take extraordinary care in purchasing
such supplies. We do not hesitate to
recommend the Royal to all who are in
doubt as to the powder they have been
usin, as the United States government
tests placed that brand at the head Of
all the tartrate powders.

THE Spanish government is execut
ing very clever campaign on the
water. With the Cape Verde fleet at
Santiago the Cadiz fleet is preparing
and will soon cross the ocean to make a
iuncture with Cervera's squadron and
then annihilate the fleet under Samp-
son. In the meanwhile the said fleet
under Sampson will probably facilitate
matters by calmly awaiting the pro
posed junction and give itself up to
destruction.

FOR THE SAKE OF CHARITY.
Sisters of St. Mary Will open Their Or
phanage on June 1st.

Sisters of st. Mary will open Their Or
phanage on June 1st.
The Sisters of st. Mary are busily
engaged preparing for the coming of
the children to their orphanage in this
city. The great event which has been
looked forward to for many months by
three score Chicago waits will occur
earlier than ever this year and on June
1st Kenosha will welcome the children
for their summer vacation. Crushed
and stifed by foul smoke from factory
chimneys the children will then find
new life playing along the beach of
Lake Michigan, and having one con-
tinual picnic in the beautiful Kemper
Hall grounds. The number of children
cared for by the sisters this year will
be much larger than in previous years,
and already sixty-five little ones have
had their hearts gladdened by being
placed on the rolls, and by the first of
the month many more will be added.
Many of the fathers have gone to the
war, perhaps never to return, and on
the mothers has been thrown the bur-
den of earning the daily bread. The
children must be cared for, and in no
way can this be done more pleasantly
or in better manner than by the Sis
ters at their beautiful grounds in this
city. A number of the children are
brought direct from st. Mary's orphan
age in Chicago, but a greater number
are picked up from the haunts of want
and desolation and brought here to a
pleasant home where kind teachers
minister to their physical and spiritual
needs The work the Sisters are doing
is great one, and they should have
the loyal support of all orr citizens to
assist them in making it a grand sue
cess.

CURRENT reports are hard to credit.
1t is not easy to believe either that the
Cape Verde fleet has actually entered
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba or that
Sampson has brought his squadron
back to Key West. The almost uni
versal confirmation of the former re-
port. however, leave scarcely any reas-
enable grounds for doubt. Even
Washington and the navy department
corroborate it. Granting its truth,
another difficulty confronts US in dis
cussing the real strategical significance
of the move. If it was Cervera's pur-
pose to land munitions and provisions
for the Spanish at Havana, there is
good reason for questioning the real
value of the aida.thus given. In the
first place it does not to any degree in
validate the blockade, for Santiago is
not blockade port. 1t is fully 5(lO
miles from Havana; there is no railway
communication and the conveyance of
any provisions or munitions which the
feet may have landed at Santiago to
Havana by means of pack mules would
require, in ordinary circumstances, at
least a month. But this journey would
involve the passage of marshes and
mountains in the rainy season when
travel is in some places almost impos-
sib!e. Moreover, it is. Through the
country which is largely in the hands OF
the insurgents. Cubans under Garcia
are scattered all over this territory and
beyond the Trocha the army of Gomez
would make any such an attempt haz-
ardous in the extreme.
Since Sampson left Puerto Rico he
has been supposed to be in the neigh
borhood of Haiti. This makes it diff
cult to believe that he is at present at
Key West. If the report proves to be
fallacious and the fighting squadron is
where it has been supposed to be,
Cer7era at Santiago is in bad Fix
Before his provisions can be unloaded
and all preparations made for leaving
that port SIMPSONS feet can have
the bottled up. But even if both
Schley and Sampson areIat Key West
it will not be an impossible thing te
catch Cervera at disadvantage. By
little careful maneuvering it would
seem that both American effects could
cooperate in shutting off all chance OF
escape to the Spanish sWith such a
force TO contend against the fate OF
Cervera and his feet would not for a
moment be in doubt. Santiago is in
capable of giving any material assist
ance. In short, if Cervera is indeed on
the south coast of.'sCuba hefhas, TO all
appearances, put himself into trap,
and a battle of most decisive char
acter is naturally!a expected every
moment.

It Helps People.

Kenosha, Wis, May %, 1896. No
other preparation has done so many
people so much good as Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. By it's great power to purify,
enrich and vitalize the blood, it creates
an appetite, tones the stomach and
gives strength. G. A. Barrows, of this
place, states that he has taken Hoods
Sarsaparilla with great benefit, and
cannot praise it too highly for what ii
has done for him.

London, May 25-A dispatch from
Madrid to the Daily News says that
although the reported negotiations
with the powers to secure the re-es-
tablishment of peace have not taken
place, there is a possibility of peace at
men of Spain are prepared to seize the
first opportunity for ending the war,
provided the terms of peace are hon
orable to Spain.
The latter would not initiate nego-
tiations, as she did not initiate the
war, but should neutral nation sub
nit an honorable Arrangement it
would be examined in Madrid in no
impractical spirit Of false pride. Peace
with honor is the genuine desire of the
Spanish government. If, however,
America insists upon a sacrifice Of
honor, the Spaniards will continue
fighting.
In an interview Marshal MARTINEZ
Campos said he felt certain that if the
natives of the Philippines sided with
Spain the United States would never
De able to wrest the islands from the
Spanish. The officials, he aded ought
70 exercise much tact and win over the
natives, as the salvation of the is
lands was in the latter's hands.
He pooh-poohed the alarmist ru-
mors concerning the British prepara-
tons at Gibraltar and said that Spain
had nothing to fear from that quarter.
IN conclusion Gen. Campos said: "The
important thing is that Admiral Ger
vera be able to divide the United
States squadron"

power declaring hostilities against her.

IF the American navy was supplied
with enough Oregons to provide one for
each port in which it's presence has
been reported, the boasted ornaments
of Great Britain would sink into insig-
nificance before it and we could send a

every ship flying Spanish flag.
