look. Secure good health, and you will surely

Alternative and Tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach, liver and kidneys. Puriies the blood,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TOUR VIA PENN

CONCERNS OUR DAILY BREAD
Prof. Prescott Believes There is Serious
Danger in the Alum Baking Powder

The high cost of cream of tartar, the chief
ingredient of pure baking powder, has in
duced some manufacturers to substitute
burnt alum (Which costs but three cents
pound) largely or wholly in liet of cream of
tartar, making a very low cost but unwhole-
some baking powder.
Our most eminent physicians are contin-
uously warning the public against the use
of alum baking powders because of the un-
wholesome qualities which such powders
impart to the food.
When such eminent authority as Prof.
Prescott, of the Michigan university, de-
clares that alum lessons the digestbllity of
the food, that its use in food has always
been deemed contraband, and that it would
be proper to suppress the alum baking pow
der by law, it is time for consumers to give
the matter serious attention. They should
examine their store rooms and their sup
plies as they come from the grocery
Generally, alum baking powders are sold
at a lower price than pure powders, but the
difficulty of recognizing them from their
appearance caused the government chemist
to recommend, as matter of safety, the use
of well-known brand of baking powder,
such as the Royal, which his tests showed,
he says, to be made from the most healthfuI
materials, entirely free from alum and every
adultcration

ToDAY's COUNCIL MEETING
Matters to Come Before the Last Ses-
sion for Disposition

Today's meeting of the city council prom
lses to be busy one, several matters OF i'm
portance coming up for final disposition
Eleven o'clock is the hour set for the con-
sideration of the selection of park site in
the Sixth ward. A number of the property
owners are up in arms against the site as
favored by Councilman Grider and offered
by Herman Boettcher, of twenty acres on
Ellis and Stanley avenues. Another party
is strongly for the acceptance of the Keysor
Central park" bid, as recommended by the
board of park commissioners, but which
the council refused to approve at its last
meeting. 1t is probable that the matter will
be ventilated in all it's phases before de-
cision is reached.
The alley between Broadway and Hill,
Fourth and Fifth streets, again comes to
the surface, the revised report of the COM
missioners being due upon which definite
action will probably be taken.
Then there is the Traction-I.os Angeles
Eleventh street franchise matter which is to
come up for hearing despite the fact that
the council at its adjourned meeting last
Thursday adopted the report of the law and
legislation committee, providing that no
more franchises shall be advertised until
the legislature has had a chance to amend
and revise the present defective statutes.
Numerous other matters of minor interest
will come up for settlement and the last Of
fetal meeting of the present Getty dads" will
no doubt prove interesting in more ways
than one.

SKETCHES AT THE ARMY DINNER

food that was bountifully provided for the
twelve hundred or more who filed in from
1870 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon and had
there been two thousand, ample prepara
tions had been made for all. The tables
were covered with white oil cloth and the
extreme touches OF elegance, aside from the
flowers, were paper napkins.
The women seemed to be on hand prompt
ly, for at the first table there were about one
hundred and only dozen or more at the
succeeding ones. There were great many
children, especially boys; three babes in
arms, the aged and infirm and every age
between. In some instances the whole
family came; one father and four boys, Il
colored woman with a row of five little
pickaninnies beside her. There were white,
black and brown skins among the guests,
even the Jewish race was represented by
three little curly headed boys, whose father
had once been prosperous merchant in a
not distant town. He failed in both busi-
ness and health and the family are very
poor
If YOU have never seen the Salvation army
serve dinner to the poor from the by-ways
and hedges you can not understand how
rapidly, systematically and effectively the
crowd is handled and the work done. Every
man, woman and child knows what they are
expected to do and they attend to that
strictly. There was no formality observed
by the guests; they shoveled down the
warm food eagerly, rose and filed out the
west entrance as the doors on the east end
were kept locked. In an incredibly short
time the tables would be cleared off, the
dishes washed and replaced, fresh food sup

last thing and another sitting ready for the
impatient crowd on the outside.
TAINTED AT FOOD
Many pathetic and touching incidents were
connected with the Salvation army Christ
mas feast. Elijah Hause, on old man,
whose adventures have appeared in the
newspapers, tainted in the arms of the Sal
vation army lassie who was assisting him to
a seat. He had not had anything to eat for
three days, he said, and was faint from lack
of food He had small tin pail with him,
and he was seen dividing his food in half.
A Salvation officer inquired into it, and lie
said he wanted to share his dinner with
poor old woman who lived near him and was
ill. He was told to eat all he wanted and
a basket OF food would be provided for him
to carry to his sick neighbor. Elijah was de-
lighted with this generous protfer of assist
ance, and he will probably be staunch
friend OF the army hereafter.
CRIED FOR JOY
A little ragged colored boy tried to eat
his portion, but his small hands were not
strong enough and he burst out crying, he
was so hungry he said. The little Jewish
bows said their sisters couldn't come to the
dinner, they had no dresses good enough
to wear An old lady, lame and sick, sit
ting at the end of the table, burst
out crying. When asked the cause
she said she was CRYING for 10Y at all the

game. He was from the frontier, and knew
the good qualities of dried beef, or 'jerkie.'
When fresh meat was issued he used to take
his and cut it in long strips, which he would
dry beside the little stove in his tent. He
would salt it and turn it around SO that it
became in short time real 'jerkie.'
"Some of the men in his company soon
learned that Mclntosh's 'jerkie' was a
mighty fine thing to have on the march or
on picket duty, and they began to steal it
when they could get a chance. 1t got so
that he was missing his jerkie' all the time.
He didn't like that, and so he began to plan
how he could cure them of the habit. Final
ly he struck an idea and proceeded at once
to carry it into execution.
''Soon after, some of the boys were going
on a three weeks scout, and they thought
with watering mouths OF how fine that dried
beef of Maclntosh's would taste when out
in the hills. He made it convenient to stay
away from the tent just long enough for them
to steal the beef and made a great fuss about
it when he came back and found the meat
was gone. They all laughed at him and he
told them he would get even with them after
they got back, and so he did.
"Some three weeks later back they came,
a pretty rough looking lot, muddy, tired out
and hungry. Bill was there to greet them,
and asked how they liked his dried beef
while on the march. They said they didn't
like it at all; it was the darndest, toughest
beef they ever ate, and there seemed to be
a taste about it which was unusual.
"'Well, that's strange said Bill dried
it Just as | always did. 1t must have been
in the beef You know that old dead
mule down in the ravine" why, yes said
they, what about him? You ought to have
got him buried before now To tell the
TRUTH boys he replied, there isn't so much
of him to bury as there was. When
learned you were going on a scouting expe-
dition, just loaded up for you. My beef
was getting kinder low, anyway, so l went
down and cut off a few choice steaks from
that old mule and dried them. So you
found it tough, did you? Well, am sur
prised. When you fellows want any more
'ierkie' I am afraid you will have to dry it
for yourselves
'1 guess they did it," continued Mr.. Nc
Comas, 'for nobody ever heard Bill Mac
1ntosh grumbling around after that about
his 'ierkie' being stolen"

fifer. Some OF the boys got disgusted with
his Dragging tendencies and used to initiate
his strut. One day they were joking about
him in Ills absence. One of the boys hap
pened to spy his fife in the tent, and grab
bing it, rubbed it across the body of dead
dog, which lay purifying near by. We all
looked on in amazement, as he replaced the
fife in its former position where he had found
it. Not much was said, and directly the
bugles sounded the assembly, The adju-
tant's call came next and all proceeded to
