IS IT MALARIA OR ALuMq
Popular Science Montaiy.I


Languor, loss OF appetite, indiges-
tion and often feverishness are the COM
mon symptoms Of physiological con-
dition 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, coagu-
lates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear. thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So "highly injurious to
the health OF the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is nee
essary to keep so dangerous an element
from the food OF her family.
A pure cream OF tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought TO cost about forty-five
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, il
you are paying much less something is
wrong; II you are paying twenty-five
cents OF less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum. Always
bear these simple facts in mind when
purchasing baking powder.

Insults From q Candidate.
A good story, and one with moral,
is related by a well-known Southern
writer, says the New York Mail and
Express.
"No great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out of his way TO
offend newspaper man." he says.
"Some years ago there was very hot
campaign in Georgia for big Office.
sTn distant city lived candidate
who was confident OF election. He
was proud and naughty, and thought
only of himself.
"A young newspaper man was de-
tailed by the managing editor to ac-
company the statesman and report his
speeches.
"Now comes the funny part of the
story. The statesman ignored his COM
panion-left him to take care of him
self-introduced him to nobody-treat-
ed him without any consideration.
''Once when they were riding in 8
buggy through the country they stop
ped at q spring. The statesman cooled
a bottle of wine in the spring and drank
1t all, without Offering the journalist a
drop.
''Then he helped himself to cigar
from the valise, and resumed his seat
in the buggy.
"'Drive onl'he said.
"The newspaper man hated and de-
spised the cold-blooded politician, but
he had his work to do.
"He reported the speeches and cam
paign incidents. but in quiet way he
knitted the statesman. The big man
read the reports, and was conscious that
something was lacking, but he could
not tell what.
'The newspaper man simply stuck
to the facts and damned the candidate
with faint praise. He left out the ele'
ment OF enthusiasm. He was dull and
deliberately SO.
1.-THE candidate was defeated. and he
never knew how much the newspaper
man had to do with it.
"Of course he did not dream that hi'
own conduct had injured him. NJ
mean man ever makes the discovery
that he is mean"

st. Louis, June 16.--The predictions
that yesterday witnessed the beginning
of the end OF the great street railway
strike were oorToborated today when
the police department withdrew its
officers from all the cars and power
houses Of the st. Louis Transit Com
pany and returned them to their regu-
lar beats. The Transit Company con-
tinues to augment its force Of nom
union men and its transportation facili-
ties at ratio that promises to see the
system in full swing before many more
days have passed.
Much interest is being shown by the
general public in the coroners' inquest
at present in progress over the bodies
of strikers and citizen killed last Sum
day by members Of the sheriff's posse
comitatus. The testimony adduced at
today's hearing does not deny that
Deputy Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick
Bohne, the citizen in question, but the
witnesses disagreed as to the deputy
proyocation for shooting. There was
testimony from about 35 witnesses,
consuming three hours, after which the
jury returned verdict of homicide.
A sensational feature OF the inquest
was the conflicting statements made by
witnesses as to whether Police Lieu
tenant Stack ordered the deputy sher.
ifs to fire on the crowd. Several o.
the deputies testified that he ordered
the posse .;uard to shoot, while STACK
declared he did all in his power to pre-
vent the deputies from firing.
The disappearance Of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was q startling development a

has left the city. No further searci
win be made for him probably, unles
