PROTECT OUR FOOD.

The doctors inform us that alum is q
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwhOlesome. Prominent
hygienists, who have given the matter
most study, regard these powders as an
evil that should be suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders are not permitted to be
sold unless they are branded to warn
consumers of their true character,
while in the District of Columbia the
authorities have under the direction Of
Congress, adopted regulations to pro.
hibit the use of alum in bread alto.
gether.
Are not the people of other states, as
consin, entitled to warning of danger
which is apparently menancing them
at close hand, and is not the whole
country entitled to absolute protection,
as the people of the District of Columbia
are protected, by legislation which is
entirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of a statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysis of food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to
remember that all powders sold at
twenty-five cents or less per pound are
of this dangerous class. Pure cream oi
tartar powders are usually sold at from
forty-five to fifty cents pound.

A FINANCIAL EXPERT.
He Got Busy with the Managing ho1'
tor to That Gentleman's
DiscOmflture.

There is a gentleman in Chicago-and the
boom of cannon fired in front OF tne
Times Herald office would easily carry, TO
him as he sits at his desk-who has mace
study of economics and who writes financial
editorials.
A few weeks ago the managing editor t9ok X
a vacation and the financial expert was lett
in general charge of the paper. One morn
ing recently he received a letter from the
managing editor, who wrote: p
'I am stranded over here in Canada. 1
have been buying lot of stuff that may ~ ne
useful to me some time> and need $50. VIII
you please send me draft for the sum
named?"
OF course he would. It would be pleas
ure to accommodate the managing editor.
So the great financial expert hurried over
to the First national bank, in which ne kept
his account, and asked for draft for $50 to
send to his friend. The bank officer gave
him paper to sign, and after giving dlrec-
tions where to send the draft the writer re-
turned to his desk.
Two or three uneventful days passed, and
there came another letter from the managing
editor.
"Dear sir" he wrote, II asked you to
send me some money, and told you was
strapped What do you mean by drawing
on me for $50? I have telegraphed to a
friend, who has sent money to pay my way
home. Chicago Times-Herald.

CHAPTER XXI.
from UNDER THE SQUARE-sAIL
YARD

By the rules of civilized warfare l had
rendered the surgeon incapable Of offensive
action, but, apart from his word of honor,
my best defense seemed to lie in his COW.
ardice and ready acquiescence to my de-
mands. Even in my intense interest in the
welfare of my friend l did not follow the
doctor to his side. I had matters on my
heart and hands requiring immediate atten-
ton, but my first business was to rid the
cabin of the repulsive carcass that numbered
the foot of the companion way.
With as little feeling as though l was
handling bale of goods, turned Louns.
bury over that might be sure of his death,
and by the limp and hideous way his head
fell to his shoulder knew he was past all
surgery. Grasping him by the collar, l
hauled him to the deck, and from thence to
the rail, launching him over the side with
the feeling that with him went the last of
my i'll luck. With the dead mans cutlass
about my waist and McCary's pistol in my
belt "a poor place for dry printing, as
was still reeking with wet), went again
into the cabin, and with an apology to the
doctor for leaving him in the dark, took the
lantern from its hook on the beam and hur.
ried to where the wreck of the top hamper
still covered the deck about the foremast.
Though the light was seen from the Sprite,
it would create no suspicion; so, seizing the
lantern to hoop in the mast, I attacked
the mass OF broken spar, gear and canvas,
that might verify or prove groundless the
more than half hope which had come to me
while l hung beneath the wreck of the din
gy. Them the hope was but a aimsy tissue;
now it was tinged with fear. If he girl
had not been struck down by falling spar
and hidden by the folds of the square sail,
then she must have been translated, for Of
her deliberate self-destruction would not
now believe.
There was desperate humping on the
forecastle hatch by the imprisoned trio, but
paid no attention to it, and indeed was
so engrossed in my present business that
nothing short of the splintering of the cover
or the arrival on bclated errand of a boat
from the Sprite, would have caused me to
desist.
The first uncovered was what I thought
to be pair of booted legs, but tley proved
ITO be no more than my own foot gear which
u had slowed near the mast the night before,
for since boarding the Phantom in the fog
l had gone unshod. The wreck had been
thrown into fairly compact mass by the
side of the hatch, and it was perhaps five
minutes before l had gotten to the bottom Of
it. But l was well rewarded. Ere had
cast aside the last of the fallen hamper ]
heard slight groan, and, on pulling away
mixture of torn sail and tangled line, saw
the object of my search.
ITO BE Continued
