HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS MADE.

A recent seizure of lot of cheap
baking powders by the authorities
of a neighboring city has exposed
the character of the low priced
brands of baking powders which
many manufacturers are Offering
throughout the country. The price
of the powders first attracted atten-
ton to them. Samples were taken
and Analysed The official report of
the analysis showed the stuff to be
alum powders, " composed chiefly
of alum, sulphuric acid and pulver-
lied rock. The powders were de-
CARED dangerous to health and sew
eral thousand pounds were confis
Gated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently eau
toned consumers against mixing
food with these so-called cheap"
baking powders. They are all found,
when analysed, to contain large per-
centages Of alum and sulphuric acid
to which are added various sorts of
filling matter sometimes both injur-
ious and nasty.
The high class cream of tartar
baking powders, are the most econ
omical and wholesome and should
always be selected for use. They
will be found cheaper in the end,
besides making the food better and
more healthful.

REMARKABLE FORESIGHT.
The Late Rev. John M. Donaldson of Yes
ia Carried $4,000 Insurance Policy.


The death of Rev. John NJ. Don
aldson, late Pastor of the Presby-
terrain churches at Vesta and Wa
basso, illustrates in peculiar way
the advantages of life insurance,
even toaman with no family depend
ent upon him. 1t is true that Mr..
Donaldson S mother was still living
in Ireland, but owing to her age OF
80 years. it was extremely improb
able that she would survive her
son.
Mr.. Donaldson, however, needed
insurance for his own protection.
and with this in view be applied to
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York in September, 1901, for
a guaranteed income policy of So, 900,
maturing in Is years. In good
health, with a prospect of at least
10 years good work ahead, mis- in
come would suffice thus to accumu-
late a sufficient fund to provide for
his old age. Notwithstanding his
promise of long life, Mr.. Donaldson
had paid only two premiums on his
policy when be was stricken with
fatal illness acute Brights disease.
This misfortune overlook him at a
time when he was in needy circum-
stances, with little money and no
property other than his life insur
ance policy. The latter now proved
friend indeed to him in a way that
he may not have anticipated when
he first applied for it. The mem
bers of his church were ready to
provide for his wants, but it is
bitter fate for proud spirit to be
dependent upon charity, even when
in dire distress.
The life insurance policy saved
Mr.. Donaldson from that humilia-
ton in his illness. The members
of his church cheerfully advanced
the funds required to cover ex-
penses while under the doctors
care and while in the bospi-
tai at St. Peter where he died. On
the other hand, he was able to ac-
cept their kind ministrations and
assistance without in any degree
sacrificing his own independence
and self respect; for he knew that
with his life insurance of 50, 900, his
estate would be able to recompense
them for all they had done fos' him.
Although he had taken this insur-
ance primarily to provide for his
own old age, it must have afforded
him infinite satisfaction in his last
moments to know that the comfort
and support Of mis- aged mother
were now amply provided for.
Although an unmarried man with
no family to provide for, but for this
life insurance Mr.. Donaldson would
have died dependent upon the char
ity of strangers for nursing in sick
ness and for his own burial, while
his aged mother would have ended
her days also an object of public
charity.
The $4,000, was paid to Rev. L.
F. Badger of Redwood Falls, execu
tor Of the Rev, Donaldson estate
by Mr.. A. f. Redmann, the District
Manager for the Mutual Life of
New York, whose headquarters are
at New Ulm, as soon after the pre-
sentation OF the proofs of death as
the mails could carry the check.
