known TO be detrimental to health.
In England and in some sections OF
This country their sale is prohibited
by law. Congress has forbidden the
sale of food containing alum in the
Instruct of Columbia. The highest
authorities condemn their use. Dr.

of Chemistry at Yale college, says:
"Rread made with a baking powder
containing alum must yield soluble
alumina salt with the gastric juice,
and must, therefore, act as poison.
II is well known that these so-called
"cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One OF
them was recently analysed at Yale
college and found to be one-quarter
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,

them.
In baking powders be sure to get
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.

FEDERALEA}i 1ThE. ELS.

Washington, Dec. speaking of
the action of the senate in connection
with the Cuban bill, Mr.. Grosvenor
(rep) of Ohio said in the mouse that
the senate reported the bill back and
it was assumed that they wanted to
stay here for some purpose, SO the
house did not offer any resolution to
adjourn. The house, after being in
session for a little more than an hour,
adjourned until Friday. The time
was chiefly consumed in tariff de-
bate. Mr.. Williams, the democratic
leader, taking up the question of the
tariff, turned to the steel schedules
and asked if the ways and means
committee could not agree to a reduc-
ton on steel and iron products He
said he had been informed that four
railroads had agreed to reduce the
freight rates on steel products for ex-
port SO 1-3 per cent, and said further
he had learned that rates on all pro-
ducts in interstate commerce from
Chicago east had been raised Mr..
Williams said that under the guise of
a sacred duty to stand pat the re-
publicans were furnishing shelter
whereby the trust could extort from
the American people while selling to
the foreigner cheaper than the
foreigner could manufacture.
The senate was in open session
thirty minutes. After receiving a
number of bills, resolutions and
petitions, and after spending some
time in executive session the senate
called up the Cuban reciprocity bill,
but as no one manifested a desire 10
address the senate upon it the bill
went over. In executive session there
was sharp discussion as to whether
or not the senate should take up any
business other than the Cuban bill.
1t developed that Senator Aldrich
had promised the democrats that no
other matter should be considered.
When this announcement was made
the republicans agreed to abide by
Senator Aldrich's promise, but Sen
ator Elkins suggested that it would be
good plan hereafter for the re-
publican leaders to tell their fol-
lowers when they made an agreement
of this kind.

traordinary sessions of congress called
