AVOID ALUM BAKING POWDERS

1helr OSe 10 dangerous 10 health
The condemnation Of alum as an I'M
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
generally, has not deferred manufac-
turers of such powders from foisting
them on the public. Following is a
partial list of the condemned alum
powders found in the stores in this
section:
Calumet. Homo.
Atlas. /. C.
Bengal. K. C.
Cameo. Loyal.
Chapman's. Palace.
Chicago Yeast. Puritan.
Columbia. Perfection.

Echo. Snow Ball.
Globe. Unrivaled.
Grants Bon Dou. White Cross.
Gold Medal. White Lily.
Government. White Rose.

It is safe to reject all brands sold
with prize. All powders sold at twen-
ty-five cents or less a pound are sure
to be made of alum. DR.. Wiley, the
Government Chemist, in his official ex-
animation of baking powders at the
Worlds Fair, threw out all "alum pow
ders," CHASING them as unfit for human
food.
But the Worlds Fair could approve
as we'll as condemn. After the most
elaborate tests, it bestowed the highest
award for purity, leavening power,
keeping qualities and general excel
lence on DR.. Prices Cream Baking

Montreal, Feb. Is. - Agoncillo, the
Filipino commissioner, in an interview
last night, gave an unqualified contra
diction to the cablegram from Gen.
Otis, in which it is stated that he,
Agoncillo, telegraphed advising Agui-
naldo to drive the Americans out be-
fore achievements arrived. "The
falsity of this is proved by the Ameri-

ment that Macy Filipino officers were
arrested in til. theaters Just prior to
the commencement of hcstilities. 1t is
not likely u officers would be found
in the theaters If they knew that war
was to commence. The thing is alb
surd on the face. It would have been
suicidal for me to telegraph any such
instructions. Our policy was to main-
tain an attitude of reserve"
Following is a copy OF an official tel
egram from Aguinaldo, received by
Agoncillo, which was translated by
'e ION ! Sunday night the American
army attacked Dill lines with premed!-

the property of the people, at the same

the Philippines rather than submit to
the unjust ambitions Of the INVADER"

Gen. Gomez was given n great ovation
at a banquet and ball in his honor
last night. Maj. Logan spoke, compar-

cans did not come to conquer Cuba,
but to work for a perfect government
on the island. When the time arrives,
he added. the Cuban people must de-

To remember the names Of persons
is commonly regarded as the first
necessary qualification Of politicians.
Oftentimes, however, they 90 too far
in trying to master this art. and so fall
into amusing blunders. Senator Vest
relates this story at the expense Of
one of his senatorial associates. In
some way, he says, the senator, who
was usually good at remembering
names, had forgotten, that of a county
chairman, and SO bluntly asked 1T.
:"why," said the young chairman, in
offended dignity, "Tm jones'! thought
you knew me-" "Of course I do" re-
piled the senator, quickly, "but which
one Of Mr.. Jones' sons are you? I
knew your father we'll for years"
,"And he had only one son." vas the

The "new diplomacy" has been much
in mems mouths of late as a synonym
for honest, straightforward dealing be-

Chauncey Depew. that the liar has dis

France declared, in his recent disturb
ing speech, that it had been taught the
nations by the last three United States
ministers to Great Britain. OF one OF
these, the late Thomas Bayard. the

meant and what were its genius, Its
duties and its hopes, he was doing the

Railroad men report that the move
,ment of manufactures from the East
ito the West is quite pronounced. Many
industries can be carried on more
'cheaply than in the East and
manufacturers are alert to all
such advantages. One industry
which has emigrated from the
East to the West Is the manufacture of
pearl buttons. The largest button fac
tories in the United States are at
Newark, N. j., but several have re-
Gently been established in Iowa. The
Eastern factories formerly used shells
imported from India and Australia, but
tlatterly these have given way to the
clam shells found in the Mississippi
river. in the Rock river. Illinois and in
the Cedar river. In. From these shells.
which were never before utilized. q big
industry has arisen. The shells are
lxathered in large quantities Shy wad-
err. who receive from ! to : cents q
mound for them. Some Of the speci-
mems are four inches across, and for
an practical purposes they are as good
as the imported article. save in depth
lot coloring. The price paid for the
domestic shell is remarkably low as
compared with the cost Of the i'm
,ported shell, which sells in New York
for 40 or 80 cents q pound. Fifteen
hounds Of buttons can be obtained
from 100 pounds Of shells. and this
fact has led ZONE Of the Eastern manu-
.facturers to establish button-blank
factories in the West. The machinery
lin these punches out the disk which
makes up the button. and the manu-
;facturer escapes the payment OF
freight CHARGES on 81 per cent Of dead
material.
