INDIAN TERRITORY FED ON ALUM.
The Harmful Drug Concealed in
Baking Powders.

Recent investigation shows that
the stores are largely stocked with
baking powders which contain
alum, an injurious ingredient which
the Iowa and Minnesota State
Board of Health have so strongly
condemned. England, Germany
and France have laws prohibiting
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 from Minnesota and
Wisconsin, have the effrontery to
offer their condemned powders to
consumers here. These alum
powders are frequently labeled
s'pure," "best in the world p
''none SO good," or with some
other equally misleading catch
phrase.
Below will be found a partial list
'of the baking powders sold in this
market that have been examined
and found to contain alum:

DEATH THAT NEED NOT OCCUR
Disease Is Absolutely Pre-

In connection with the sanitary in.
stitute popular lecture was delivered
by DR.. Alexander Hill, master OF
Downing college and vice chancellor
OF Cambridge university, on "Unnatur
al Death" He remarked that it was
not the dangers of railway travelling,
nor the few murders that occurred,
which brought down the average
longevity of human life from 100 years
to so years. They must seek for more
subtle murderers than that Every
year 100000 babies were born in Eng
land and Wales. If they took 100000
children and saw what was likely to
be the end Of them, they would find
that 10000 died violent death by acci-
dent, about the same number would
succumb to the mysterious disease

preventable, because due to germs

The largest loayes of bread baked in
the world are those of France and
Italy. The pipe" bread of Italy is
baked in loaves two or three feet long,
while in France the loaves are made in
the shape Of very long rolls four or
five feetin length, and in many cases
even six feet. The bread of Paris is
distributed almost exclusively by
women. who go to the various bake
houses at $50 a. m. and spend about
an hour polishing up theloaves. After
the loaves are thoroughly cleaned of
dust and grit, the bread porter pro-
ceeds on the round of her customers.
Those who live in apartments or fats

aKlNG WOOD ALCOHOL.
The Deadly Substance That Thiraty
Topers sometimes Drink.

1t is necessary first to convert wood
into liquid. The strongest hydraulic
pressure would not squeeze one-half of
l per cent of the moisture from dry
wood, but by putting the anne material
into an iron retort and converting it
into charcoal by mean Of heat the gases
and smoke, to the extent Of fully 60 per
cent OF the weight of the wood, may be
condensed into pyroligneous acid, from
which are obtained wood alcohol, acetate
of lime and wood tars. a cord of wood
weighing 4, 600 pounds produces about
1850 pounds of pyroligneous acid and
700 pounds Of charcoal. The pyroligne-
Gus acid from one cord of wood pro-
duces 0 gallons Of SO per cent crude
wood alcohol. 200 pounds of acetate of
lime and about % gallons of tar, besides
30 bushels of charcoal. After the pyro-
ligneous acid is neutralized with lime
the wood alcohol is distilled off, the
lime holding the acetic acid in solution.
After the separation of the wood spirit
the remaining liquid is boiled down in
pans to q sugar, which is dried, and be-
comes tho acetate of lime of m
Acetate of lime is used for making acetio

Fully thpee-fifths of all the wood al
cohol and acetate o. lime produced in
the world are made in the United States.
Over 10000 acres Of forest per year are
cleared in the United States. Wood al
cohol affords "a perfect substitute for
grain alcohol for manufacturing and
mechanical purposes, and at less than
one-third the cost. 1t is used principally
as a solvent in the making of shellac

presented to him by the state of Louis

close of the Mexican war.

LOCATING a COUPLET.
A Familiar Quotation Ascribed TO
Butler In Placed.

Few popular quotations have more
engaged tho pens Of critics than the fol-
lowing:
For he TINT fights Gnl runs away
Will live to fight another day.
These lines arc almost universally
supposed to form q part OF "Hudibras, /"
and so confident have even scholars been
on tho subject that ia 1884 q wager was
made at BootIe of 20 to / that they
were to be found in that inimitablo
poem. Dodsloy was referred to as the
arbiter, when no ridiculed tho idea of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
Every fool knows they are in 'Hudi-
bras.
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, "Pray, sir, will you DO
good enough, then. to inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, in what
canto they are to be found?"
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find tho passage. The next
day came. with no better success. and
the sage %bibliophile was obliged to con-
fess that q man might be ignorant Of
the author Of this we'll known couplet
without being absolutely q fool" But
Ter has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The n that comes
nearest is the following. in "Hudibras,"
book 8, canto 3, verse 243:
For those hat fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
The fact. however. is thnt the couplet,
thus enormously ascribed to the author
Of "Hudibras." occurs in q small vol
ums of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written In the reign OF Charles
u.-Exchange. .

ASKS INJUNCTION ON DEATH
peorIa, H., Man Would Put Off Day
 Sci by Prophet.

Peoria, H., Jan. 15.-An injunction against death and a restraining order against the prophet who predicted that the end of John Blocks life would come January IS have been asked of the local courts.
 States Attorney Dliley has taken the novel application under advisement and will decide whether the court has jur- isdiction in such Q matter.
 Block, who is an emplOye of the iron works. recently fell in with spiritual istic society and became interested in its theories. A member of the society, claiming the power to read the future, informed L4ock it was ordained that he should die January IS.
 As the fatal day drew near the vic tim-to-be of the destroyer became ner- vous and sought means to at least stay the end The propneC was appealed to to postpone the death, but even an of fer of money failed to move him. Then the courts were appealed to, and today the iron worker is calmly waiting for the prediction to be fulfilled.

 The senator thinks that the property east of the present building should be bought by the government If Sen ator Elkins offers and amendment to the pending bill it will provide fer the acquisition of this property, pro vide fer the acquisition of this proper ty, and add a million more to the amount for a building.
 Senator Flllins said that the late Secretary Blaine favored a beautiful building On the present sit9.

Tn fact, I consider a new building an absolutely essential. The subject will be brought up in the committed at an early dale, and hope favorable action can be secured upon the bill.

It will pre- vent every incoming architect from changing tie original plans and de laying the building"

FL CANEY MAN FOR WEST POINT
Waiter L. Sharpe, Late of the Rough
 Riders, 3 Candidate.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Among the contes- testants for admission to West Point military academy who took par5 in the examination at the Chicago manual training school Saturday was one Of the heroes Of Fl Caney. Walter L. Sharpe, whose heroism during the fla nous charge of Colonel Rocsevelt's $ Rough Riders has become matter of history, is the one who aspiras to the honor.
 Walter L. Sharpe is the son of L. L. Sharpe, formerly manages of McVick- CTS theater. When the war broke out young Sharpe was a member of the sophomore class of the University of Chicago After the famous charge at Fl Caney, where Captain Allen N. Ca pron was killed, Sharpe was among the missing When he turned up alive, but much em8ciated, it was learned he had accompanied the body Of the captain, at whose side he had fought, to the sea- coast, where he became i'll. Sharpe's clothing was riddl9d with bullets in the battle, one Mauser ball shattering pipe in his pocket.
 Sharpe is almost of age and is nearly six feet tall and an a.llete.
