THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal Brands
Sold in This Vicinity.

The discussion lin the, newspapers of
the effect upon the human system OF
food made with alumsbaking powders
and the publication of the emphatic
opinions from noted scientists that such
powders render the food unwholesome,
have caused numerous inquiries for the
names of the various alum powders.
The sale of alum baking powders
in both Minnesota and Wisconsin is
illegal unless the label upon the can has
printed upon it the statement that such
powders contain alum. When the same
brands are sold in North and South
Dakota, where the law does not require
them to be so marked, the alum warn
ing is omitted, and they are represented
as pure cream of tarter powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
official reports of the Food Commits
sioners of Minnesota and Wisconsin, or
from the report of the u S. Agricul-
tural Department at Washington, or
other equally reliable authority:

SNOW BALL. ..... Contains Alum
IMPERIAL. ........ Contains Alum
In addition to these. many grocers
are selling what they call their own
private or special brands. These
powders are put up for the grocer, and
his name put upon the labels by manu-
facturers of alum powders in st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Chicago, st. Louis and
elsewhere The manufacturers, it is
said find their efforts to market their
goods in this way greatly aided by the
ambition of the grocer to sell powder
with his own name upon the label,
especially as he can make an abnormal
profit upon it. Many of these special
brands are not labeled as the law re-
quires and are sold as cream Of tartar
powders.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly ap
pearing under all kinds of cognomens,
and are sold at all kinds of prices, many
as low as five and ten cents pound
They can be avoided, however, by the
housekeeper who will bear in mind that
all baking powders sold at twenty-five

SWEET SINGER GONE.
Hugh D. Hughes Passed Away Suddenly
Last Evening.

Hugh D. Hughes, the well known
tenor singer, died suddenly at $50
o'clock last evening at his home on
Hanover street. Mr.. Hughes took the
leading tenor part at the concert at the
concert at the Presbyterian church two
weeks ago last night, given for the bene-
fit of the Y. M, G. A. After reaching
home that night he was taken sick and
his trouble pronounced hemorrhage of
the spine. For some time his lower
limbs were paralyzed, but he partially
recovered from that and seemed to be
well along toward complete recovery,
when his death unexpectedly occurred
Mr.. Hughes was ffty-two years of
age and leaves wife and four children,
one son and three daughters. He was
carpenter by trade, and had done
some contracting. 1t was as vocalist
that he was best known, and he was
one of the best singers in this section.
He was leader of the choir of the Welsh
G. NJ church and was deacon in the
church. He was an industrious and
sterling citizen, agood neighbor, and
loving and indulgent husband and par
ent, and his sudden taking off causes
much sorrow. The afflicted family will
have the sympathy of all.
The funeral will occur from the
church at $50 o'clock Saturday morn
ing.

This afternoon about three o'clock
team attached to a lumber wagon, be-
longing to ]. D. Compton, of Judson,
which was hitched in front of H. 1.
Parry's drug store, became frightened
at some pasteboard boxes which were
blowing along the gutter and broke
away and started on a run down Front
street. In front of PIX. Wiser's jewelry
store the team ran into the carriage of
F. w. Hunt, which was going in the
same direction and in which were
were seated his daughters Bertha and
Marion and Miss Lena Boyd. The top
of the carriage was taken completely
off by the collision and Miss Bertha
was thrown out and under the buggy,
receiving cut on the back of her head,
and her side was bruised. She
was picked up and carried
into P. K. Wisers store and from
there conveyed to her home. The in
juries inflicted are of painful nature

Of the carriage were not injured. 1t
was indeed narrow escape for all, from
more serious consequences.
Attention has several times been
called to the practice of throwing paper
and other substances into the street, and
the council should pass an ordinance
making it Enable for continuing this
practice. If it is stopped, we may have
less runaways and avoid further acct
dents.

ply to the district where thev are NOT
inconsistent with the charter. If it was
not for the fact that the school laws are
thus grated on the charter. the free
text book section would not apply to
Mankato He thought THAI perhaps it
was misfortune that this provision of
the law applies to Mankato.
Mr.. Fletcher said that if the PROPOSE
ton carried it would mean an addi-
tional expense of Sd, 900 to the district.
Minneapolis has been trying the plan
and the board there has cut off the high
school from the application of the plan.
Mr.. Cray said that if the plan was
voted it would have to apply to all of
the schools. Patrons of zone school
could not be made to buy their own
books and help pay for the books in the
other schools.
Mrs. Smith stated that in Massa-
chusetts town where the planshad been
tried the board had bought only new
books, while the ones already in the
hands OF the pupils continueduto be
used.
Capt. keysor's motion was carried,
but the members voted for it only be-
cause it was obligatory.
Mr.. Fletcher askedoswhen the plan
would go into effect if adopted.
Mr.. Cray replied that it would be the
boards duty to raise funds and then to
proceed. He did not athink that the
plan could be put into force earlier
than a year from next7tfall.
Mr.. Coughlan thought that the book
companies would want to put in the
books at once and wait for their Pay
until the board had raised lthe money.

Free Text Books.

The special committee to which the
petition for free text books was refer
red reported that the petition was suf-
ficient in form and had the required
number OF names to make it obligatory
upon the board to submit the question
at the July election.
Mr.. Cray said that the law provides
that where five legal voters sign petit
ton it is necessary to submit the cues
ton. If the question carries, it will
mean that several thousand dollars will
have to be added to the tax levy.

East MankatO School.

Mr.. Fletcher moved that the East
Mankato school be left until after the
other schools have been organized. The
attendance has been so small there that
he was not in favor of maintaining it
unless more interest was shown
Mr.. Coughlan said that petition for
teacher would be started there if the
board closed the school He thought
that the matter should be held open.
The parochial schools were trying to get
the schools for some reason.
Mr. Cray said that the slight atten-
dance hardly justified maintaining the
school. The distance to the Union
school is not fan, to those living further
est away.
Capt. Keysor stated that the teacher
had reported that the priest had been
up there and ordered the children to go
to the parochial schools.
Mr.. Parry moved that the school be
dispensed with.
DR.. Webster moved that committee
of three be appointed to confer with
some of the residents and report at the
August meeting. If the people there
want the school maintained they could
give the committee proper assurance
that it will be patronized. This was
carried and Dr. Webster, Mrs. Smith
and Mr. Coughlan were appointed
committee.
The committee on property and ex-
pense was authorized to have the sup
