The re0sx discussion in the papers
Of the effees up5u the human system
Of food made with alum baking povd6rs
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused numeB-
ous inquiries for the names Of .hs VzEi-
ous alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports of State Chemist Nicholson, Of
Nebraska, the City Chemist Of St.
Louis, the Food Commission Of Mime
sofa, OF other reliable authority:

IN addition to these, it ID learned

they call their own private or special

find theiT efforts to market their goods
in this way greatly aided by the ambi-
tiOn Of the grocer to sell powder wits
bis own name upon the label, especial
Iy when the grocer can make an ab-
normal profit upoH it. Many grocsrs,
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders that they are thus pushing are
alum powders which would b. actually
contrsband in many sections If sold
without disguise.

G. III. Hazard, of st. Paul. Is working
hard to induce the legislature to pass
an appropriation for improving the Dalles
Of the st. Croix, which form the Inter-
State park. Mr.. Hazard, who, with
Benjamin Clayton. of Taylor's Falls, and

park commission, has recently returned
from Wisconsin, where he secured an ap-
preparation from that state.
The beautiful tracts of land at Taylor's

to establish park met with approval

Is said to be the most varied of any one

so varied are their colors. All the differ

and white), spruce, fir, birch, willow, but
ternut, linden, poplar, the maple family
ash, walnut mountain ash, elm, oak,
ironwood, cherry, hickory, the juni-

Having visited and inspected the park
before you commenced your extensive
improvements, l have to congratulate
you upon the good effect you have been
able to produce with so little money at
your disposal, with which to clear Up
and make accessible the picturesque
parts of the Dalles.'
This survey was secured by Senator
Davis, Dean Hall of the University Of
Minnesota, and Prof. Van Hise, of the
University of Wisconsin,, joining with
the park commission in the request The
map includes a territory of 12x17 miles,
The st. Croix river at the Dalles is near
700 feet above sea level. The bluffs on
the Minnesota side are 1,120 feet above
sea level while on the wisconsin side
they rise to 1,400 feet.
The elevation of points in neighboring
territory is as follows: At Duluth-lake,
600 feet; bluffs /. 900 to 1,4O0 feet. At St.
