The Hague, hzy Sit was an
nounced from Castle Loo at midnight
last night that Queen Wilhelmina had
been prematurely confined at 6 o'clock
Sunday evening.
Professor Rofenstein. DIR. Roes-
singh and the other doctors were In
attendance. The queen suffered in
tense agony.
At IL o'clock Sunday evening the
condition OF her majesty was de-
scribed as critical.
Small hope for her recovery was
entertained.
The Hague. May 5.-The evening
passed quietly at Loo palace. but Drs.
Roesing and Pot have remained at
the queens bedside.
Baron Clifford, master Of the
queens household, said tonight: Her
majesty's fever has not increased. and
we are quietly and hopefully await
Ing the results of a good nights rest
for the queen. There is no cause for
immediate disquietude."
At 10 o'clock tonight her majesty
was reported to be sleeping quietly,
and at that hour her condition was
practically unchanged.
II is said now that her majesty's
doctors. being no longer embarrassed
by complications in their patient,
condition. will be able to adopt more

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made.


The Health Department of New York
has seized a quantity Of so-called
cheap baking powder. which II found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to 1t by the low price at which It was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples we're taken and the chemist
Of the health department reported the
stun to be "an alum powder" which
analysis showed to be composed chief
ly OF alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health. and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal dock
and destroyed.
II is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called cheap" articles of food.
They are sure to be made from alum,
rock or other injurious matter. In
baking powders, the high-class. cream
OF tartar brands are the most econo-
mical, because they go farther in use
and are healthful beyond question.
