CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AN2 CONFISCATED IN
 NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of St. Louis has cor. sicted and fined heavily number of grocers for selling baking powders containing alum.
 The week before the Health Depart ment of New York seized quantity of stuff being sold for baking powder which they found was made from alum mixed with ground rock. and dumped it into the river.
 The Health Authorities are thus talk. ing effective means to prevent the in- troduction into our markets of in- furious substitutes in place of whole some baking powders.
 As alum costs only two cents pound, there is great temptation for those manufacturers who make sub- Stituies and imitation goods to use it. Alum baking powders can be detected by the health authorities by chemical analysis, but the ordinary bousekeep- CT. whose assistance in protecting the health of the people is important. can- not make a chemical examination. She may easily know the alum powders, however. from the fact that they are sold at from ten to twenty cents for pound can. or that some prize-like a spoon, or glass. or piece of crockery, or wooden ware-is given with the powder as an inducement.
 As the people continue to realize the importance of this subject and con- sumers insist on having baking powder of established name and character. and as the heaith authorities continue their vigorous crusades, the a:-sn danger will, it is hoped, finally be d-:yen from our homes.

PROHIBITION RECALLED.
Gen. Chaffee Permitted to Proceed With His Campaign Against
 the Moros.
IS EXPECTED TO EXHAUST DIPLOMACY.
That t Would Not he Policy to Beittle American Prestige In the Eyes of the Natives of Min danao.

Washington. April 24-The war de- partment has made public the tele- graphic correspondence which has taken place up to date respecting the Moro outbreak in Mindanao. The inn portant feature of the correspondence IS the closing chapter showing that Gen. Davis expedition is not arbi- trarily stopped, but that Gen. Chaffee IS allowed to exercise his discretion. Ii is believed that the presence of Gov. Taft in Washington is the ex- planation of the presidents direction that Gen. Chaf'ee shall confer with the acting head of the Philippines commission before adopting hostile tactics
 The correspondence begins with the cablrgram given out last week dated Manila. April 15, in which Gen. Chaffee recites the killing of the first American soldier, near Mala- bang, and the forming of an expedi- ton under Baldwin to arrest the mur- derers.
 In answer to this the following dis patch was sent:
 Washington. D. C.. April 20, 1909 -Chaffee, Manila: Expedition ordered under Baldwin will not leave coast until you hear from here This will not however. interfere with com. plete preparation
 Signed "CORBIN."
 On April 22 the following cablegram was sent Gen. Chaffee:
 "ehaifee, Manila.-The president is anxious that no expedition be made against Moros until all ef- forts by negotiations have been exhausted. To this end he de sires that you confer freely with the acting civil governor In the event the force has 10 be sent. he directs that if go under the immediate com. mand of Gen. Davis. The president will give you all support. but desires exercise of great care and prudence. If possible avoid by all honorable means general war.
 Signed "CORBIN."
 "C haffee Manila. With reference r. previous cables on subject. II ha~ been suggested 10 president that possibly surrender of the Muras mur. derers might be effected by instru. mentality of friendly dattos. Presi. dent desires this considered in con ference with Wright. and To have as. surance that every honorable peace. ful remedy has been exhausted.
 Signed. "CORBIN."
 Gen. Chaffee responded to the last caoiegram by the dispatch given out al the White House. Tuesday night and published Wednesday morning stating that to withdraw all the American forces would ruin our pres. uge; to withdraw part of the forces wonld be dangerous
 To this statement the following re. sponse was made:
 "Chaffee. Manila: Your cahl, of yesterday has been submitted b, acting secretary of war To the presi dent, who directs that you keep ir mlnd the presidents orders. but 0, course do nothing that will impai, our prestige CT in any way imperia the army. If, after the expiration of the time named in your proclamation and after all possible diplomatic ano friendly methods have been ex. hausted. your demand for the Moro murderers have not been met. you will act upon the lines that in your Judgment will best serve to bring peace and order in the island of Min. donao.
