DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Bak.
ing Powders Which Should
Re ExpOsed.

There has recently been attempted al
some Of our grocery stores, and also a,
dwelling houses, by agents who are try.
ing to sell alum baking powders, what
the exhibitors call a baking powder test.
They pretend to show by some boiling
test that pure cream Of tartar baking
powders contain something which every
woman of intelligence knows they do
not.
1t does not need chemist to expose
this trick. Cream OF tartar, which is
the chief constituent Of the best and
most wholesome baking powder, is orig
inally a clear, white crystal. This is
ground into fine, creamy -four in which
form, mixed with baking soda it is pres.
emit in the baking powder. Cream of
tartar, when mixed with water and
boiled simply returns to its crystalline
form, and that is all there is to the
so-called test.
The matter of special interest to the
public is to know what these people offer
in place OF cream of tartar powders of
well known purity and established repu.
tation against which these ISLANDERS are
directed. They are offering a baking
powder which official analysis have
repeatedly shown is made from alum, n
drug so well recognized by physicians
and scientists as injurious to health that
in many countries Its use in bread is
entirely prohibited So cheap aud
inferior are the ingredients of this pow
der that it costs to make less than three
cents Mound. No prudent housewife
will knowingly put such stuff as this
into her food.

A Pioneer Gone.

The people of Webster, especially the
pioneers were very much surprised and
grieved last Saturday morning when

health and fine spirits. He returned to
his home in Butler and was in apparent

In the farm work on that day, but in
the evening complained Of slight cold
and after supper, with the assistance of
his daughter, doctored himself for his
cold with the simple home remedies of
hot foot bath and hot lemonade and
retired for the night in the best of spirits
telling his daughter that he would be
all right again in the morning. About
10 o'clock the daughter was aroused by
her father and went to his room and
found him in very bad condition. She
at once called her brother, who was in
the house, to the bedside and he arrived
just in time to see his father breath his

INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
REFUSE TO EAT FOOD
More Than Dozen Street Speakers
Are Arrested for Violation of
Ordinance - No Resist
ance Offered

SPOKANE, WASH, Nov. 9.-Hot
breakfasts of bacon, potatoes, onions
and bread were refused today by the
fifty Industrial Workers of the World
street orators in Jail awaiting trial.
When bread and water were offered
the eighty already sentenced who have
refused to work on the rock pile, they
cursed the jailers and kicked at the
food. Some have touched no food
since last Thursday night.
1t is asserted by the police that the
Breakfasts taken to the cell where the
five leaders await trial for conspir-
acy disappeared mysteriously. The five
men protest that they did not eat any
thing. Until yesterday they had not
joined in the starvation strike.''
The city board of education has vot-
ed to let the city authorities fit up
the old Franklin school building as a
prison in case the Jail becomes over
crowded, but the police say they have
other plans.
Street speaking was resumed today
and more than a dozen speakers were
marched to Jail. No resistance was
offered. Some of the men in Jail who
have refused to eat for four or five
days are reported to be very weak and
in great distress because of their long
fast.

GIFT MADE
FOR AVIATION WEEK

%for California has such a tremendous
advantage to gain by keeping in the
front on aerial matters that we must
have the people of this state well post
ed. To do this, we want the finest
flyers in the world, and that will take
a cash fund of 100000. Mr.. Cortland
Field Bishop, president of the Aero
Club of America, who will visit Los
Angeles in the near future to investi
gate the possibility of holding the
great international aeroplane race here,
says that he expects to have fund of
at least 100000 for that alone. If we
can accomplish a great demonstration
here for half that sum we should con-
slider ourselves most fortunate.
1.-The contribution made by Mr.. Hunt
inton is a magnificent tribute to the
Importance of aeronautics, and is far
and away the most important financial
gift made for aeronautical purposes in
the United States, either private or
governmental, thereby putting Cali
fornia in the foremost rank elready.
when we can demonstrate to the
world what wonderful opportunities are
offered for winter aviation in this state,
L am convinced that it will, in time,
be as common for wealthy man to
say: am shipping my balloon or
aeroplane to Los Angeles for the win
ter as it now is for him to plan his
winter trip to California without the
aerial necessities" ="

NINE. STEINHEIL
CRIES FOR PITY
lnquisitor Responds That Accused
Persons Always Seek Sympathy
When Embarrassed for an An
swer-coils Tighten

PARIS, Nov. 9.-"Have pity on me.
I am an unhappy woman who should
not be tortured" cried out Madame
Steinheil on the resumption of her trial
here today for the murder of her hus-
band and stepmother. The appeal
came during the testimony OF jewelers.
with reference to the changes of jew
efry confided to them by the prisoner,
but which she originally claimed had
been stolen by the assassins.
The prosecuting judge responded
that accused persons always repeated
that cry when embarrassed for an an
swer.
From this point Madame Steinheil
assumed an aggressive attitude whicn
continued during the examination OF
several witnesses and resulted in a
series of lively tilts between her and
Judge de Wales.
when reproached for having con-
cealed the fact she possessed imlta-
ton duplicates of her jewels, she de-
Tended her secrecy on the ground she
wished to hide from her friends the
familys financial condition.
When the journalists testified MAD
anne Steinheil was. depressed greatly
when she confessed to them she had
placed the pearl in Couillard's pocket
hook and then accused Wolf, the pris-
oner interrupted to declare the news
paper men had tortured her into
speaking, one even having twisted her
wrist to make her talk.
Charles NJ. Hardy, a photographer.
testified when Madame Steinheil was
convinced she would be arrested, she
wished to commit suicide. The wit
ness said at the critical moment In the
interview between Madame Steinheli
and the newspaper men Mariette Wolf,
the cook. entered the room and the two
women fell into each others arms. Az
ter a momentary display of emotion
they withdrew to a corner of the room,
where they conversed in whispers.
After the cook had left Madame
SteinheiI told the reporters that the
Wolf woman had said that she would
deny everything if her mistress were
arrested.
Turning to the reporter who had
made this last statement, Judge de
Wales asked: 49,.
DO you understand the full gravity
of your testimony against Madame
Steinheil?"
To this the witness replied
"I accept full responsibility
