President Francis spoke OF South Da-

C~OUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT
One of the Most Important Raids Ever
Made in Vicinity of Boston.

Boston, Dec. What is considered
oy the United States government Sc
cret service officials to be n of the
most important raids that has ever
taken place in the vicinity Of Boston
was successfully carried out in the
neighboring town of Revere, when
three men, all said to be well known
counterfeiterS, were arrested n an
extensive plant II an enormous sup
ply of paper for printing notes was
confiscated.
The government officers stated that
there was paper enough in the house
where the raid took place to print more
thar q million dollars worth of notes,
while the plates and hand presses were
of the finest workmanship. The men
arrested were John Davis, Joseph Bou-
menblitt and Moses Novak, alias
Frankel, and 1t is understood that the
government made seven simultaneous
arrests in or about New York.
Davis is 33 years old and is believed
TO be- the head of the gang, and, ac-
cording to the secret service officers, he
is we'll known, not only in this oun
try. but also in Europe.
Novak, or Frankel, as he was known
in Revere, came from New York o
two months ago, accompanied by a
woman, and hired q house.
Soon after he took possession the au-
thorities at Washington began to re-
ceive numerous complains that coun-
terfeit money was being freely circu-
lated in New England. From the larger
New England cities and from New
York came the report hal numerous
spurious gold n silver certificates
were being circulated. Since that time
the secret service men have been act
lively at work, and yesterdays raid
was the result.

Reports Are Conflicting.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Dispatches indicating
extreme tension of the Russo-Japanesc
situation almost monopolized the at
tention of the German press and otfi-
cial world yesterday, and early today
the danger of val vas regarded as
greater than ever.
But the feeling was changed by the
receipt of the announcement from
Paris that a basis OF settlement had
been reached. This made financiers
hopeful and prices on the Bourse
opened strong.
Later a tide of alarming dispatches
quickly reversed the favorable senti-
ment and stopped trading absolutely.
Official circles, however, take a more
hopeful view of the situation than the
public. The hope that war will be
is based to a large extent on
the belief that Great Britain will not

Alum. Flint and suIphurio Acid.

1t is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
TO sell or introduce so-called cheap" or
low-priced baking powders, either d.
rectly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most Instances deception Is used,
and IL Is claimed that the article Is q
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of a pure article.
H%ousekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England n
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress has
forbidden the sale of food containing
alum in the District of Columbia. The
highest authorities condemn their use.
DR.. S. w. Johnson, for instance, Pro-
fessor of chemistry at Yale college
says: Bread made with a baking pow
der containing alum must yield a
soluble alumina salt with the gastric
juice. and must, therefore, act as a
poison"
Ii is we'll known that these so-called
cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One "
them was recently analysed at Yale
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
Others are filed with sulphuric acid,
n salts of lead are also Dun in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well known cream of tartar
>rand, and never buy from peddlers.
