THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal Brands
Sold in this Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system of
food made with alum baking powders
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused numer-
GUS inquiries for the names of the vari-
GUS alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports of state chemists and food COM
missioners, of Minnesota, or other reli-
able authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum;
K. ...... Contains Al UNI
Jaques Mig. Co., Chicago.
Calumet. ............C Contains Alum
Calumet Baking Powder Co., Chicago.
nome ......... CONTAINS Alum
Home Baking Powder Co., San Francisco.
Washington. .. Contains Alum
Pacific Chemical Works, Tacoma.

D. Ferrera Il Co., Tacoma
Bee Hive ............. Contains Alum
w.
DOH DOH .OOntalnS Alum
Grant Chemical Co., Chicago.
Defiance. .......... Contains Alum
Portland Coffee & Spice Co., Portland
Portland. .......... Contains Alum
Beno & Balls, Portland.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up for
the grocer and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers of alum pow
ders. The manufacturers, it is said,
find their efforts to market their goods
in this way greatly aided by the ambi-
tion of the grocer, to sell a
powder with is own name upon
the label. especially when the grocer
can make an abnormal profit upon it,.
Many grocers, doubtless, do not know
that the powders they are thus pushing
are alum powders which would be act
ually contrabrand in many sections if
sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible TO give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES,
under all kinds of cognomens, and at
all kinds of prices, even as low as five
and 10 cents a pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeeper
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at % cents or less per
pound are liable to contain alum, as
pure cream of tartar baking powders
cannot be produced at anything like
this price.

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-
Ihave taken Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-

several years was in such wretched
health that life was almost burden

was SO feeble. Several of our best
physicians attended me, but failed to
help. l concluded to write to you for
advice. In few days l received such
akind, motherly letter. I followed your

THE LONELlEST WOMAN.
She's from This City and Lives Up on
Seal Island.

Seal Island.
Without doubt the loneliest woman.
that is to say, the one farthest removed
from her kind, in all these United
States of America is Mrs. Clark, of this
city, the wife of Major E. w. Clark.
government agent of the Pribylof or
Seal Islands in the Behring Sea. This
group composed of the two small isl
ands of st. Paul and st. George, are
the homes of nearly all the seals re
naming in existence, and they are
about eighteen hundred miles west OF
the entrance to Puget Sound, and about
two hundred northwest of the Aleutian
Islands, belonging at Unimak Pass.
st. George, which is the smaller of the
two, being about six by twelve miles
in extent, is forty miles from st. Paul
and it has a population of about one
hundred Aleuts, and four or five
whites, consisting of Major Clark and
his wife, physician, and two or three
clerks for the North American Com
mercial Company, which controls the
seal business, and has stores and ware
houses on both islands. The little
village Of st. George contains twenty
five or thirty houses, including the COM
pany's buildings, the agents house and
a Greek church. There are no other
houses on the islands, and Mrs. Clark
is the only white woman. Her home
is a small cottage of four rooms, very
cosy and comfortable, with books and
nj nd a.
sea. She does no cooking in her own
house, as the government officials take
their meals at the company house near
by. Mrs. Clarks nearest neighbor is
the wife Of the agent on st. Paul, who
is less lonely because she has with her
two small children, Mrs. Clark's chl-
dren being grown and having their
own homes in the States. There is no
communication between the islands
except by one of the company's ships
and by revenue cutters, as other ships
are not permitted to visit the islands.
These ships come only in the summer,
and from October until June Mrs.
Clark does not expect to see any one
or hear anything from the United
States, or to send word home. no mat
ter what happens. Sickness, death,
disaster may come to her far off in
that forbidding sea, or may visit her
own at home but no word may come
or go until navigation is resumed. st.
George is absolutely without trees,
but its rolling surface and mountains,
a thousand feet high, are beautifully
green with coarse grass and moss, and
wild lowers of brilliant hues dot the
level stretches near the sea. Blue
foxes abound, and over the rocks at the
waters edge thousands and thousands
of seals in ceaseless activity disport
them selves noisily day and night, from
June until December, while millions of
water fowl fill the air and the sea and
futter about the cliffs. Three hundred
days in the year the weather is dark
and dismal, and fogs hide the islands
for days at a time. The cold is never
excessive, but the winter storms are
severe, and terrific gales sweep over
sea and land. There is no harbor, and
ships come to anchor a mile or so from
sl.ore.-Washington Star.
