Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum
is poison, and that alum baking
pow ders should be avoided because
they make the food wholesome.
Prominent hygienists, who have
given the matter mo t study, re-
gard these powders as an evil that
should be suppressed by state ac
ton. In Minnesota and " isconsin
alum powders are not permitted to
be sold unless they are branded 10

acter, while in the District OF CO.
lumbia the authorities have under
the direction of Congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use of
alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states,
as well as those of Minnesota and
Wisconsin, entitled to warning of
a danger which is apparently
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 en-
tirely prohibltive?
Until we can have protection in
the form of statute, how can our

A Quiet 4th This Year. The River
is Going Down Rapidly and no
Damage Done.

The Str. Gwendoline did not
arrive last Monday as scheduled.
In fact she will never reach this
port, except she floats down in
pieces as wreckage. The boat
while being transported around the
falls on three fat cars fell overheard
and dropped SO feet lighting bot
tomside up a total wreck. The ac
cident happened at sharp curve
where projecting rock compelled
shifting of the boat which unbal-
anced her with disasterous results.
The boat cost eight or ten thousand
d GLARS but was worthless on the
upper Kootenai, except tor her
machinery. Capt. J. d. Miller had
the contract for bringing her down
and is said to be considerably looser
on the proposition, as the railroad
company, by special contract, as
sumed no risk.
