NO ONE WOULD EAT ALUM.
Food that Contains Alum or an
Alum Residue is Unhedlthful.

Here is some interesting evidence
upon the alum baking powder sub
ject:
Prof. AS Mitchell, of Milwau-
keee, late chemist to the Wisconsin
Diary and Food Commission. in testi-
flying before the Congressional Com
mittee, which was collecting informa :
ton to aid in the matter of pure food
legislation, said that here was no
question but the tendency of the chem
ical impurities which would remain in
the food made with alum baking pow
ders would be deleterious. AS to the
claim made by the manufacturers that
alum powders left no alum in the
food, he said he had failed to find any
such powder RS which, in the ordinary
process of cooking, would not leave
some soluble alum in the food.
Doctor Schweitzer, the accomplished
professor of chemistry at the Univer-
sity of Missouri, after a series of ex.
periments with bread raised with
alum baking powder, reported; "Care-
full analysis of the bread thus prepared
shows a portion of the alum from the
baking powders remaining in the bread
as such and unaltered.
The fact that alum if taken with
food into the stomach would be injur-
ious is not questioned or disputed by
anyone. AS scientific evidence would
seem to prove that when food is raised
with alum baking powder some part
of the alum remains in the food, the
prudent course for the housewife is
apparent.

A team of horses with six drivers,
was pressed into service and carried
the butcher shop, the bakery and ice
house in one load Dinner was cook
ed after two hours of the life stren-

sumed-well, that must be reserved
for the next chapter. When your re-
porter called nearly every student was

others more. There was swimming.
boating, and there was always some
body eating. One man got fireburned,
and nearly everybody got sunburned
About 6 80 all were home, very tired,
very sleepy but unanimous in pronoun-
cling the day one of the most enjoya-
BILE in the college year.
Today and tomorrow the graduates

to the home at which he is visiting
and medical aid summoned. While
he was cut and bruised to some ex-
tent, the injuries are not serious.

ARREST MARRIED MAN
ON |NHUMAN CHARGE
AUGUST BANDELlNPUT UNDER
$1,000 BONDS YESTERDAY.
CHARGED With Serious Crime. De-
Launching l3-Yedr-Old Elsie
WeiChert. an EpileptiC -Exdmi-
nation Set for June l5-PriSOner
Married Man.

The strong arm of the law came
down forciably yesterday afternoon in
the case of the inhuman charge sur
missed against resident of the First
ward, who is alleged to have had i'm
proper relations with 13-year-old
girl. What makes the charge more
hideous one is the fact that the young
girl is an epileptic.
The up-shot of the affair is that
August Bandelin was placed under
arrest by Chief of Police Block on a
warrant charging him with the serious
crime of debauching the young girl,
Elsie Weichert, the complaint having
been made by the child's mother,
Mrs. Henrietta Weichert, the warrant
having been issued by Judge Stacy.
The prisoner appeared for prelimin-
airy examination yesterday afternoon
and his examination was set or Fri
day, June 18th. Baudelin was put
under $1,000, bail and at last reports he
had not obtain the same. The prison
err is a married man and the father of
nine children. He has been holding
responsible position with one of the
leading manufacturing concerns of the
city and it seems almost incredible
that man would so belittle himself
as to commit such felonous crime.
While man cannot be called guilty
till the court prove him such, the
Leader will give the prisoner the ben
eft of the doubt and trust the affair
is mistake for the sake of his family
and reputation. But if proven guilty,
the full extent of the law would be a
very mild punishment as compared to
the crime with which he is charged.
1t is stated there are some very
nasty features involved in the case,
which will no doubt be brought to
light during the examination and it
is highly probable that other arrests
will follow.

"WOMAN IN THE CASE. -

The latest development in the
criminal case above referred to, was
the arrest later of Mrs. Ida Greutz-
macher, whom Elsie Weichert claims
enticed her to her home for immoral
purposes. The woman in the case'
was taken before Judge Stacy, before
whom she denied any knowledge of
the charge set forth in the complaint.
Owing to the absence of District At
torney Davies, the hearing was set
for June 10th and the woman held I'M
der bonds of $500. If there is any
truth in current rumors, in all proba-
bility other arrests are likely to fol-
low and the case bring out some more
very sensational developments as tie
case progresses.

Chief Is Satisfied of Innocence,
Saturday Chief Donahue said
Il am satisfied Benson is innocent of
the crime of which we at first thought
he might be guilty, as the facts within
our knowledge at the time of arrest in
Lincoln presented a very damaging case
against him ana consequently the matter
has been given the fullest and most pains
taking investigation. Like all dope fiends
Benson has poor memory and this ac-
counts for his not being able to give a
