Gentlemen: We note. in the pub

reached us, We take 1t for granted
that the press is correct. and we know
also that it was evidently given out for

Replying thereto for ourselves. we
desire to impress upon you and the
public that there is no legislation
which we know of that 'looks toward
eliminating from the Omaha charter
or the laws of Nebraska the right or
authority OF the city council to regu-
late public service corporations, or TO
impose such an occupation tax upon
them as will in their judgment be just
and equitable" We also desire to say
that though this power has been a part
OF the Omaha charter at all times
since you we're elected TO your present
office, we know of no one of you TAX
ing any steps whatever to enact any
ordinance under this authority, at
least not until very recently.
We fully know why you are writing
letters to us now. for there is an cleo
tiOn TO take place this spring; we un-
derstand this thoroughly. Hut why
have you not exercised this power be-
fore? Why have you let this power
in you as officers lie dormant and un-

DANGEROUS FAKES
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
Powders Which Should Be
Evoneod

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 n
baking powder test. They pretend to
show by some boiling test that pure
cream Of tartar baking powders con-
tain something which every woman
of Intelligence knows they do not.
II does not need n chemist to eX-
pose this trick. Cream Of tartar,
which Is the chief constituent of the
best and most wholesome baking
p >wder, is originally clear, white
crystal. This is ground into h fine,
creamy -four in which form, mixed
with baking soda, it is present in the
baking powder. Cream OF tartar,
when mixed with water and boiled,
simply returns to its crystalline form
and that IL all there is to the sO-called
test.
Tho matter of special interest to
the public IL to know what these peo-
pie offer In place of cream OF tartar
powders Of well known purity and
established reputation against which
these ISLANDERS are directed. They are
offering = baking powder which Of
fetal analyses have repeatedly shown
is made from alum, drug SO well
recognized by physicians and scien-
fists - injurious to health that In
many countries its use in bread Is en-
tirely prohibited! So cheap and in
ferior are the ingredients Of this pow
der that it costs to make less than
three cents pound. No prudent
housewife will knowingly put such
stun ~ this into her food.
