To Avoid a Danger,

All concede the danger to health
IRON the use OF alum baking powder.
But how to avoid it? 1t Is difficult
10 identity the alum powders, and the
danger is increased by their close re-
semolance to cream-Of-tartar
powder. Then the grocer, unawarer
oil their true character, sometimes re
commends them because OF their low
cost. 1t is a startling fact that brands
OF blking powder which are labeled
alum when sold in those states where
the law requires alum powders to b.
so branded, are sold in this city as
pure cream Of tartar powders.
1t is a safe practice to select brand
OF baking powder Of we'll established
reputation aud then make sure that
1t exclusively is used in the kitchen.
The U S. government, after elabor.
ate public tests, placed the Royal at
the head Of all powders for purity and

families for quarter OF a century are

The members of the SA class failed TO
receive an average high enough to
justify Superintendent Bear in recon-
mending them for admission TO the
County High school. Some OF their
plrents were disappointed, and not
understanding the situation, have
blamed Superintendent Bear and are
demanding an investigation. The old
Bear-Butcher jealousy is being talked
OF, and Bear is accused of spite work.

Manila, Feb.9.-The Kansas troops
seem to have more fighting in store
for them. The Twentieth regiment
is stationed near CalOcan and it is
generally expected that the next big
engagement will take place there.
4:4O p. m.-All is quiet here today.
The Filipinos are lying low except on
the extreme left and right. They are
evidently concentrating at Calocan
and Malabon.
judging fran appearances, the Fill.
ipinos are reinforced by better drilled
men from the northern provinces. In
front OF CalOcan they are thick as a
swarm Of bees.
The American troops feel the heat
at midday in the open, but they are
anxious to proceed. The soldiers are
impatient OF restraint while in sight
OF the enemy. The Fllipinos are still
intrenching themselves on the left of
CalOcan.
The Americans have advanced to a
point about four miles east Of the city
to jan Juan del Monte, where the
water works are situated. Ca.ocan,
where there are strong insurgent fort
l1cations and where the next impor.
tant engagement will probably occur,
Is about four miles north OF the city,
near the shores Of the bay. Here the
Kansas regiment is stationed.
Shells can be thrown with ease
from the bay to Calocan, so that the
army will have the active cooperation
OF the navy IL fight takes place at
the point expected. A number OF
little streams and estuaries lead iu-
land toward Calocan, and vessels OF
light draught like the Concord, the
Petrel and the Callao can approach
within quarter Of a mile of it, this
insuring the use Of all the guns on
these vessels, including the Gatlings
and other small rapid firing pieces
and the small arms Of the marines.
The larger ships Of Dewey's force
can steam to within couple of miles
OF CalOcan. In view OF these cond.
tions, the officials Of the War and
Navy departments are anticipating
another signal victory for the Amerl-
can land and naval forces.
The War department officials say
that the Importance OF the capture of
the water works cannot be over es.
timated. The people of the city and
the American troops are now assured
OF supply Of good water, although,
as General Otis indicates, the supply
may be curtailed for a week, owing to !
the damage to the pumps.
