room at 1908 Capitol avenue, and Harry
Albes. the clerk. were arrested late yes
terday afternoon by Sergeant Cook and Of
ficers Emery and Triplett, who wore civil
ians' clothes in order to collect their evil

the act OF dispensing liquor.
Lincoln Common, a negro, was arrested at
the same time on a gambling charge, the
officers reporting that they found him con-
Quoting a poker game in the rear Of the
pool room. All three men were locked up
at the police station and their bonds we're
fixed at $50 for Conner and 500 each for
the other two men.
Numerous complaints had been made to
the police Of late that while the saloons in
that neighborhood had been observing the
Slocumb law, Derek's pool room had been
occasionally converted into a saloon on
Sundays. Investigation Saturday proved
that a quantity of beer had been bought
and delivered at the place, and the raid
was planned and carried out under the di-
reetion of Chief Donahue and Captain Mos

WINGED that the law har been broken.
Officers Emery and Triplett, who re-
NAMED In the pool hall and bought bottles

report that ten or fifteen men were patron

were there. and that both Derek and AIbes
sold liquor in their presence. Another place
that wss suspected Of allowing the sale OF
liquor on Sunday was also investigated. but
the suspicious OF the officers we're found
to be without foundation.

FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
which should BE Exposed.

Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
which should BE Exposed.
There has recently been attempted at
some OF our grocery stores, and also at
dwelling houses, by agents who are trying
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 a chemist to expose
this trick. Cream of tartar, which is the
chief constituent of the best and most
wholesome baking powder, Is originally a
clear, white crystal. This is ground into
a fine, creamy flour, in which form, mixed
with baking powder. 1t is present In the
baking powder. Cream of tartar, when
mixed with water and boiled simply re-
turns to it's 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
we'll known purity and established reI u
tation against which these ISLANDERS are
directed. They are offering a baking
powder which official analyses have re-
peatedly shown is made from alum. a
drug so well recognized by physicians and
scientists as injurious to health that in
many countries it's use in bread is entirely
prohibited! So cheap and inferior are
the ingredients of this powder that IT
costs to make less than 3 cents a pound.
No prudent housewife will knowingly put
such stuff as this into her food.

My Dear Commander: 1t has been a

you that the honor and pleasure has been

you have even lost Douglas county, and
surely out in the state your gain has been
tremendous, l am yours at all times to

Colonel Byrne writes as follows:
My Dear Governor: / have read with
