II ia only in England TINT one finds

CONCERNS OUR DAILY FOOD.
Prof. Mallet Believes There is
Serious Danger in The Alum
Baking Powder.

The increased cost of cream of
tartar, the chief ingredient of
pure baking powder, has induced
some manufacturers to substitute
burnt alum (Which costs but
three cents a pound) largely or
wholly in lieu thereof, making a
very low cost but unwholsome
baking powder; and efforts are
made to sell these inferior pow
ders by the inducement of a low
er price, and by false representa-
tions as to their ingredients and
comparative value.
Our most eminent physicians
are continuously warning the pub
lie against the use of alum bak
ing powders, because of the un-
wholesome qualities which they
impart to the food. DIR. j. w.
Malle;, Prof. of Chemistry at the
University of Virginia, a scientist
of the very highest reputation

who has made an elaborate and eX-
haustive investigation of the sub
Ject says: II am decidedly of the
opinion that both the substance
(alum) itself and the products to
which it gives rise in course of
making bread, are injurious to
health, and on that account fall
into the list of such food accesso-
ries as should on sanitary grounds
be prohibited by law"

Several Liquor and Anti.
Liquor Measures. Lee
County All Right.
Register, IA.

Register, IA.
The principle matter ofinterest
in the proceedings of the house of
representatives last week was the
disposition of the Childs bill. 1t
has been recorded, a strong fight
was made upon this measure on
the ground that it was not an alb.
solute prohibition bill, giving
drug stores the power to sell
whiskey for medicinal purposes,
such power being subject to per
version by unprincipled men.
However, that appears to have
been more of an excuse than Il
reason, for Mr.. Livingston's
amendment, even more stringent
in its restrictions, WAS over
whelmingly defeated.
MIR. Pollock's substitute bill
suffered the same fate. His bill
provided for the dispensary to re.
main unchanged, save 10 pay
twenty per cent. of the gross
receipts to the county treasurer,
the same provisions affecting the
original package shops similarly.
When the original Childs bill. un-
touched by amendments came to
be voted upon, it was killed by a
vote of 5S to 80.
Mr.. Nerner's bill, however was
much more fortunate. 1t pro
vides that the counties Of Oconee,
Pickens and York be exempt
from the operations of the dis
pensary law. The principle in
volved was that such counties as
had prohibition before the day 5
OF the dispensary should not be
forced or allowed to have dispen-
sarioe within their borders. The
coL IS above named are almost
unanimously in favor of pro-
hibition.
The legislative appropriation
bill has passed its second and
third readings in the house. 1t
was based upon adjournment on
the 10th, and there is now little
doubt but that the general as
fembIy will come to a close upon

Oh Senor deputy de LONE says:
"The government was wise to ac-

His indiscretion has only occa-
stoned the government vexation."
The Liberal takes the same view
of the case, and adds: "We do
not wish to blame the vile con-
duct of the persons capable of
such theft. The reflections
contained in the official and pri-
vate correspondence of MIR. Tay-
lor were far graver."
The premier, Senor Sagasta,
said to the correspondent of the
