AVOID ALUM BAKING POWDERS

Their Use 10 Dangerous to Health.
The condemnation of alum as an un-
wholesome ingredient in baking pow
ders by the Government authorities as
well as by the Iowa and Minnesota
State Boards Of Health and physicians
generally, has not deferred manufac-
turers of such powders from foisting
them on the public. Following Is a
partial list of the condemned alum
powders found in the stores in this
section:
Calumet. Loyal.
Cameo. Manhattan.
CEapman's. Mokaska.
Chicago Yeast. Perfect.
Climax. Rocket.
Grants Bon Bon. Taylor's
Hotel. One Spoon.
Jack Frost. Vision.
K C.
1t is safe to reject all brands sold
with prize. All powders sold at TWEEN
ty-five cents or less a pound are sure
to be made of alum. DR.. Wiley, the
Government Chemist, in his official ex-
animation of baking powders at the
Worlds Fair, threw out all "alum pow
ders," CHASING them as unfit for human
food.
But the Worlds Fair could approve
as well as condemn. After the most
elaborate tests, it bestowed the highest
award for purity, leavening power,
keeping qualities and general excel
lence on DR.. Prices Cream Baking

LECTURE ON THE HUMAN BODY
Delivered by Dr. Martha Everett In
the " w C. A.

DR.. Martha Everett gave n lecture
last evening at the Young Women's
Christian association which for value
in the way of instruction and interest
in detail can scarcely be overestlmated.
The subject was: THE Human Body
1t was the first in the series of prac-
tical talks planned for the winter.
DR.. Everett, not withstanding the
enviable position she has gained in
the medical fraternity, is young and
attractive and is particularly pleasing
as a speaker. The lecture was entire-
ly descriptive and was illustrated by
means Of charts of the most complete
and up-to-date system. II was In
tended to give to the many girl list
eners who had not had opportunity
for the study of physiology to learn
facts in a concise form which other
wise would consume vast amount
Of time in study.
The subject was of rich extent that
II precluded the speaker from enter
ing at all into the hygienic details,
but she gave a thorough description
of the various organs and systems OF
the human body, and told many in
teresting things concerning the bones
and the respiration. She also described
the nervous system in a fascinating
way that led many of her hearers to
request a lecture on this subject with
practical hints for the guidance of the
young women.

FATAL EXPLOSION
OF GAS IN A MINE
ANTHONY BRoNICA, OF PITTS
TON, LOST HIS LIFE.
Suffocated by the After Damp That
Followed an Explosion of Gas in
the schooley Shaft, of the Penn
sylvania Coal Company in Exeter
Borough-Five other Men Were
More or Less Seriously Affected
by the Explosion-Cause of the
Accident,

Exeter borough was visited by an
other mine accident yesterday morn
ing at o'clock, but not one so serious
in its loss of life as that at the Triple
shaft last Saturday. One man was
suffocated with after damp, follow
ing an explosion of gas and five others
were more or less burned. The acci-
dent occurred at the Schooley shaft of
the Pennsylvania Coal company. 1t is
about a mile from the Triple shaft.
Anthony Bronica, 40 years old, mar
ried and having a wife and five chill
dren, was the one who lost his life.
He lived at 345 North Main street,
Pittston. The injured were: James b.
Coulter, the fire boss; George Met
calf, the tracklayer: James Mackin, a
driver boy; John Wilcox, Bronica's
laborer, and John McQulllan. a miner.
BADLY BURNED.
Coulter lives on Wyoming avenue.
West Pittston. He is severely burned
on the face, neck and hands, but not
so seriously that his life is endangered.
Metcalf lives in Exeter borough. He is
very painfully burned on the face.
neck and hands, but not dangerously
so.
Mackin is burned also on the exposed
parts painfully. but superficially and
| his mule was slightly scorched. Will
| cox escaped the blaze, but was strick-
| en- with the after damp. He was re-
moved into the air passage quickly and
soon recovered.
His miner was working at the face
| of the chamber and was found dead
| with his head between two big chunks
| of coal. Wilcox was fortunate enough
| to be down at the cross cut nearer the
fresh air supply and owes his safety
| thereto.
! McQuillan was blown thirty feet by
| the violence of the explosion and in
addition to being severely burned on
the face, neck and hands. was cut and
! bruised. He struggled to his feet and
made his way in the dark to the gang
way road.
IN PITTSTON VEIN.
The explosion occurred in the Pitts
| ton vein in a chamber between that of
| Bronica and that of McQuillan. The
fire boss and the tracklayer were In
this middle chamber preparing it for
man to go to work In. The tracklay-
er had naked lamp and with it acci-
IDENTIFY set off the gas.
The flame did not go over to the
chamber of Bronica, but the force OF
the explosion stirred up the after damp
there. In McQuillan's chamber the
flame and the force were felt.
Mackin had just hauled a car into
McQullan's chamber and was down as
far as the branch on his way out.
