Alum Baking Powders.

There are so many alum baking
powders about, most of which are rep
resented to be made of cream of tartar,
that the following list of powders in
which the chemists have found alum
will be of value:

The housekeeper should bear ir
mind that alum makes cheap baking
powder. 1t costs but two cents a pound
while cream of tartar costs thirty. The
quality of powder is, therefore, usual
indicated by the price.

A Number of Enjoyable Entertain
mentS the Past Week.

One of the most notable social events
of the season in Dawson was the ami.
NAL party Friday afternoon at the

Church street. After being met at
Miss Lizzie Baldwin the guests were
ushered into the parlor and sitting
room, where there was an array of
animals of all descriptions, made from
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons,
etc. The limitations were unique and
effective. Guessing was INDUCED in
as to what the different limitations
represented, and the BOBBY went to
Mrs. II. c. Geise, no first prize being
given. Then committee of three
awarded prize to Mrs. j. A. Laing
for the best animal exhibit.
When the guests repaired to the dim
ing room they sat down to delicious
menu. The first course consisted of
oyster cocktails, served in blocks of
ice; the second of turkey salad and
olives, aud the third of coffee.

ioyable afternoon was spent. Refresh
ments were served, consisting OF
groundpea candy, syrup candy, ginger
cakes and ginger ale. Souvenirs of sill
yer-mOunLed emerles were presented
to each of the young ladies present.
Friday was ST. Valentines day, and
full advantage was taken of the fact to
surreptitiously send loving tokens to
lovers and sweethearts. AT the pub
lie school an informal valentine party
was held, and many purchased and
home made creations Of sentiment found
their destination.
Several from Dawson attended a
valentine party in BrOnwoOd Friday
night at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E.

popular entertainers upheld their
reputation by causing those present to
enjoy several happy hours.
Several from Dawson also went out
to the hospltable home of Mrs. r. J.

Members of the Minnesota delegation in

their pleasure over the stand taken by
Senator Nelson in refusing to bolster up

is what they say:
Van SAINT and Douglas acted hastily
and with insufficient knowledge of the
law and they must take the conse-
quences. 1t is futile and puerile for them
to try to make congress alter laws and
constitutions to suit their hostile pur-
poses. AS has been previously indicated

any remote possibility that congress
would try TO amend the federal statutes
