Protect our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum is
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 shonld be sup
pressed by state action. In Mime
sofa 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 au-
thorities have under the direction of
Congress, adopted regulations to pro-
hibit the use of alum in bread
altogether.
Are not the people Of other states,
as well as those of Minnesota and
Wisconsin, entitled to warming
of danger which is appar-
emily menacing them at close hand,
and is not the whole country entitled
to absolute protection, as the people
of the District of Columbia are pro-
tected, by legislation which is entire.
ly prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of statute, how can our state
board of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
thau 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
of tartar powders are usually sold at
from forty-tive to fifty cents pound.

The Nome Gold Fields.

The first map folder or circular re-
specting the INlondike gold strike of
1898 was issued by the Northern Paci-
tic Railway. 1t is more than a coinci-
dence that the first map folder or
pamphlet of the Nome Mining district
comes from the same source. The
present folder not only contains a
good map of the Nome district but is
embelliShed with several cuts of views
at Nome city and on the beach where
the method of mining is clearly shown.
All information obtainable regarding
sailing dates from Seattle and Tacoma
through rates ETC., is given in this
book and the public cautioned to go
to the agents of the n. p. Ry., who
are supplied with diagrams of the
Alaskan steamers, and arrange in ad-
vance for their Accommodations rather
than to put off this very important
business until they reach Puget Sound
There is no doubt but what there will
be considerable passenger business
from the middle and eastern states
and very heavy business from the
Pacific Coast States to the Nome dis
trict next spring.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1899.

THE report so vigorously circulated early in the week that the Secretary of the Interior had issued an order prohibiting the grazing of sheep on the Arizona forest reserves proved on investigation to be entirely without foundation. No such order has been issued, nor is the order likely to be issued. The sheepmen have troubles enough, but the agitator can cause them more trouble in minute than can be undone in year.

General MsrcieP Expresses His Views on
tho Drsyfus Case.
REN:1Es, Aug. 2l.-Genersl Mercier,
who was minister Of war when Captain
Dreyfus was condemned, and who in
the present trial is the virtual prosecu-
tor, was called upon by the correspond
ent of the Associated Press who invited
him tomake statement of the position
OF the anti.Dreyfusards.
Though unable to receive the CORE
spondent in person General Mercier sent
his Oldest son to convey the following
expression of his views:
j General Mercier considers it useless
to convert foreign opinion regarding the
.Dreyfus case, in which. moreover, for
eigners have no right to intervene.
Foreign peoples
/, Have Boon AIisled by tho Press,
which is violently Dreyfusard, for the
very good reason that q majority of
foreign newspapers have been bribed by
the Jews. General Mercier considers
anything he might say concerning his
position, which is that of majority Of
the French people, is useless. The best
answer to the Dreyfusard statements
abroad will be condemnation of Drey-
fus. This condemnation is only mat
ter of 10 days or a fortnight, for con-
demned Dreyfus certainly will be.
Foreigners will then see that their
Journals have deceived them, for they
will recognize that the mass of the
French nation, who will receive the
news of the conviction of Dreyfus as
joyful tidings, is not composed of Off
cials and that the majority of the
French applaud the condemnation it
will be because it is just and merited."
