elfect urch the hdhah tsstsm OF fesSu
made With AMm baking ptwNea and the
opinions inst hava been published from
noted scieHtists 10 The effect that Ruch
powers reader he food unwholeeome, have
caused numerous Inquiries fer the names
OF the various alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the re-
ports OF State Chemist Nicholson OF Neb-
raska, the City Chemist OF st Louis, the
Food Commission OF Minnesota, or other
reliable authority;
Baking Powders Containing Alum:

In addition TO these, II il learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
then own pFivste or special brands. These
powders are put up for the gEocere and his
name put upon the lalels by manufactur-
eFs Of alum powders in St. Louis, Chicago,
Kansas City, Tscoma, SaE Frarcisco and
elsewhere. rhe manufacturers. II is said,
find their eifurts 10 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 when the
grocer can make an abnormal profit upon
II. Many grocers, doubtless, do not know
that the powders they are thus pushing are
alum powders which would be actually
in msny sections il sold with.
out disguise.
1t is quite impossible 10 give the names
Of all the alum baking powders in the
market. They are constantly appearing in
all sorts OF disguises, under all kinds OF
cognomens. and al all kinds OF prices, even
q, lox as FIVE and ten cents pound. They
can be avoided, however. by the house
keeper Who VIII hear in mind that NIL bak-
ing powders sold at twenty live cents or
less PER pound are liable to contain alum.
as pure cream tartar baking powders
,annot be produced at anything ike this
price.

They Were Married.

The following appeared in the San
Francisco Chronicle Of the 10th inst, as
telegraphic dispatch from Redwood
City, California;
'.Mrs. Emma Thompson, through her
attorney, S. w. Ccndon, OF Oakland,
has made her appearance in the estate
OF DR.. Fl. II. Thompson, who died some
months ago at San Mateo. Mrs. Thomp
son claims to be a widow Of the deceased
and the announcement has occasioned
no little surprise among the friends OF
the dead physician, whom every one
considered q single man. He evidently
led dual life, and some startling dis
closures may be maze by the sudden
appearance OF the alleged widow. DR..
Thompson formerly lived in Oakland
and had been only lately resident of
this county. He died very suddenly at
San Mateo, and considerable jewelrr was
found on his person and the property
was taken in charge by the coroner, who
is now probatipg the estate. The rela /.
tives OF the deceased live in Oregon and
are people of respectability and promin-
ence. The alleged widow did not appear
at the funeral. The relatives OF the
dead man will bitterly oppose her con-
ienIion that she is the widow OF Thomp-
son."

THURSDAY
AT PRESIDIO.
Al True Statement of the Facts by
A'bany Men.

The Portland papers on account of q
failure TO secure the mastering out IN
that city, have been making Presidio
out terrible place and nearly every
body preparing 10 die.with the pneu-
monia. Here is the straight Of tie case,
as told by Fred Westbrook, OF Co. ! in q
letter TO his parents Of this city as well
Asother particulars "a interest:
All Of the boys are well except Ed
Cyrus. He is on the hospital ship. The
Relief Is expected here within ten days.
We marched from the dock to the Pre-
eidio, . distance OF four miles, where we
are in camp. San Francisco shouted
herself hoaree. Our four mile march
was through denee crowd of patriotic
men, women and children.
We are camped ic tents with wooden
floors, stove in each and plenty Of coal.
Each company hss large dining room
with tables and chairs, nice kitchen
with large range and plenty to eat.
We answer three calls daily, revellle, re.
treat and drlll call, drilling ore hour
each morning. The rest OF the day finds
us sight seeing in San Francisco. We
were paid 1870 for May and June on
Saturday 80 that we have money.
The Frisco people are treating us
royalty, free theaters and free papers,
but the papers ars not interesting.
Frisco papers are full Of lies as usual and
You must notbelieve half what they say.
They are trying to make people bslieye
that We are suffering from cod, but we
are not. Sure, the boys are little chill
ly, but most men have over-coats, and a
man can borrow one il he needs it or can
buy new army over-coat Tor 81 OF the
regulars who are going to Manila.

Gays the boys are doing well and have
all they need in food and clothing, that
the reception was simply grand, and the
soldiers continue to be treated royalty.
Everything is free to them. As a sample
