The BOer War.

London, Oct. 30.-The South African
war has now been in progress nearly three
weeks and 30 far the British arms have
been consistently crowned with moment
ary successes, though at cost which veri.
fies President Krugers prediction that the
conflict would stagger humanity. But
though victory has fallen to Great Britain
whenever and wherever the issues wer,
of paramount Importance, Gen RI Whites
position is scarcely more reassuring than
at the outbreak of the war. So far he has
| only shown his ability to outwit by STRAIT
egy the Beers strategy. That, in its con
ception, meets high praise from the Brit
ish military critics. Now he appears to
have reached the limit of this game oi
war by which he was able to prevent the
massing of the Boer columns and must
either meet the enemy's combined forces
or retreat. Many people think that Gen
eral White should rest content with the
successes SO far achieved and fall back on
Colenso, pointing out that he appears to
be fully able to move his forces quickly
and without deterioration. 1t is scarcely
probable that he will follow this course
preferrng rather to hold Iadysmith
though against much superior numbers
until reinforced. 1t is the feeling that the
general intends to follow the latter course
that creates uneasiness, for victories over
Beers as units are not believed to indi
cate that the same result can be achieved
over the Beers when massed.

In Il Malaria or Alum :
popular Science Monthly


Languor, loss Of appetite, Indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms Of a physiological condition
termed malaria" All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect OF
the use of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question about the
poisonous effect Of alum upon the system.
1t obstructs digestion, prostrates the
nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the blood
All this has been made clear, thanks TO
physicians, boards Of health and food COM
missions. So "highly injurious to the
health Of the community" does the emf
nent head Of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, DIR. Barker, consider the alum bak-
ing powders, that he says "their sale
should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances 1t is worth
the while of every housewife TO employ
the very little care that is necessary to
keep 30 dangerous an element from the
food OF her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking powder,
which is the only kind that should be
used, ought TO cost about forty-five to
fifty cents a pound. Therefore, II you are
paying much less, something is wrong;
II you are paying twenty-five cents or less
per pound, the powder is certainly made
from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.

Fitxsimmons Won.

Chicago, Oct. 30.--Jeff Thorne, the
English pugilist, was knocked out by Bob
Fitzsimmons in one minute Of fighting at
Tattersalls. Thorne who was evidently
very much afraid of Fitzsimmons, did not
land single blow, and only made one
light attempt to lead with his left, the
blow falling short by several inches. The
blow delivered by Fitzsimmons was a
short left jolt, which did not pass through
six inches Of space before landing on
Thorne's jaw. After Thorne was counted
out Fitzsimmons picked him up bodily
and carried him to his corner, placing him
on a chair which Sam Fitzpatrick, who
had been confident of Thorne's victory,
had placed hurriedly on the platform.

wild Rumor From Holland.
Berlin, Oct. 3l.--A report received
from Holland says the whole British
army at Ladysmith has surrendered and
the troops are now prisoners.
London, Oct. 3l.-A dispatch to the
Associated Press from Ladysmith, which
was sent at express rates, came through,
in the remarkable time OF two hours. 1t
shows crisis in operations in the pres
ent stage of the war has been reached
and that the attack on Ladysmith by the
joint Boer forces has opened.
That the heavy guns of the Beers from
which SO much was expected should be
silenced so speedily, as indicated in the
Associated Press dispatch from Lady
smith, is matter of great surprise, but
the subsequent advance of the burgher
force on the British left flank shows the
attackers were still full of the self con
fidence and daring they have already ex-
hibited on various occasions.
Apparently the Beers have concentrat-
ed for a supreme effort at Ladysmith.
They have withdrawn their forces from
other points which they consider momen-
tarily to be of less Importance.
The latest news from the western bor-
der has apparently assured the British
authorities as to the ability of Mafeking
and Kimberley to Withstand assaults.
