AVOID ALUM BAKING

Their Use is Dangerous to
 Health.

The condemnation of alum as an un- wholesome ingredient in baking pow ders by the government authorities as we'll as by the Iowa and Minnesota State Boards of Health and physicians zen erally, has not deterred manufacturers of such powders from foisting them on the public. Following is partial list of the condemned alum powders found in the stores in this section:

All powders sold. at twenty five cents or less pound are sure to be made of alum. pr Wiley, the Govern ment Chemist, in his official examin. ation of baking powders at the World s Fair, threw out all "alum powders" chasing them as unfit for human food. But the Worlds Fair could approve as we'll as condemn. After the most elaborate test, it bestowed the highest award for purity, leaving. power keep ing qualities and general excellence on pr.

1--WE WILL DE SLAVES TO NONE"
SO Says Aguinaido i'm Abiding 10
His People.

MANILA, July l2--7:25 T. M.-TheTe has
bsen Received at Manila a copy OF the
Independence containing the speech
which Aguinado made during The recent
celebration at Tarlac Of the anniversary
OF the proclamation OF Filipino inGepen-
dence. In substance, IT is as follows:
"Filipina beloved daughter OF the sun
of the Tropics. commended 10y Providence
90 the care of noble Spain. be not I'M
grateful TO the salute Of her who warmed
you with the breath Of her own culture
and civilization
1T is true she sought 10 crush thy
aspiration for independence, as a loving
mother opposes separation forever from
the daughter OF her bosom. This but
proves the excess Of affection and love
Spain feels for thee, Filipino Delicate
flower OF the East scarcely eight months
Weaned from the breast of thy mother
thou hast dared TO brave a great and
powerful nation. such as is the United
States, after barely organizing ana dis
ciplinng thy little army. Yet we reply
we will be slaves TO none, nor allow our
selves 10 be deceived by soft words. Let
US continue to defend our fatherland
until independence IS assured, for this is
justice. We shall see at least that the
great American nation will acknowledge
the right. which is on our side. That
doctrine OF the great MONROE lldt
America is for Americans-is not forgot
ten. just as we affirm that the Philippines
are for the Filipinos.
THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE.
some States of the American Union
have arisen in our favor. Especially is
the Democratic party convinced that both
victors and vanquished will lose precious
lives. Thus many of the people and many
statesmen ccnsure President Mckinney
as inhuman for having ordered his milf
tary representatives at Manila to seek
means TO bring about hostilities with the
Fnipinos. These facts prove that they
wished 10 try us to see if We are able to
live up TO the second color of our banner
red. which signifies courage, heroism, and
martyrdom Therefore, we should not re-
sent this struggle with the Americans.
In spite Of their expressed desire TO
dominate all the Philippines, well con-
WINGED are they that We Will fight with
Justice and right on our side ana that
autonomy is all a show of deceit, only
serving TO save certain accumulated
wealth
"Fihpinos. let us be constant Let US
strengthen the bonds of our union.
Aguinaldo concluded with calling for
cheers for independence, the union OF
the Filpinos, and for the lberating
army.
