company with Capt. Castle, called on
the president and surgeon general in
regard to having trained Red Cross
nurses sent to the Philippines to take

idea, ard officials of the war depart

advisability Of sending female nurses
to Manila. An answer is expected to-
day, and If favorable nurses will be
started for the Philippines at once.

A CRIME AGAINST HEALTH.
The Use Of Alum In Food.


Recent Investigation shows that tho
stores are largely stocked with baking
powders which contain alum, the in
furious ingredient which the Iowa and
Minnesota State Boards Of Health have
SO strongly condemned. England, Ger
ing the use of alum in bread, and the
States OF Minnesota and Wisconsin
forbid baking powder containing alum
to be put upon the market unless the
words this baking powder contains
alum" are printed upon the label of
every package offered for sale. This
Is the danger signal which the law
throws out for the protection Of the
people. Yet many Of the makers OF
alum baking powders such as the
Calumet" while keeping away ilVm
Minnesota and Wisconsin, have the
effrontery to offer their condemned
powders to consumers here. These
alum powders are frequently labeled
pure" best in the world" none so
good" or with some other equally mis-
leading catch phrase.
Below will be found partial list OF
the baking powders sold in this market

contain alum:

of explorations started soon after the

buil,ling here at the time wAs the fact
that there were no ore contracts TO get

snslcr contract to ship over the &. a N
