SMALLEST FIRE INY YEARS
Only Twenty-one Fires in Moorhead
During 1909 and Most Important
Loss Was Church Building.

In the matter Of fires during the year
1903 there is no reason for any per-
turbance on the part Of fire insurance
companies as to losses in the city Of
Moorhead. Pete Malvey, of department
headquarters, said this morning that
the records for the year showed that
there had been a total of twenty one
fires, the most important Of which was
the Presbyterian church, at 1890 a. m.
March IL. The number was the least
for many years, but there was no &C.
curate figures as to the total money
loss. but the latter is insignificant in
proportion -. =,

DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking
Powders 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 pow
ders, what the exhibitors call a baking
powder test. They pretend TO show by
some boiling test that pure cream OF
tartar baking powders contain some
thing which every woman of intelli-
gence knows they do not,
1t does not need a chemist TO eX
pose 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 bak-
ing soda 1t is present in the baking
powder. Cream of tartar, when mixed
with water and boiled simply returns
to lis 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 PEG
| pie offer in place of cream of tartar
powders of well known purity and es'
tablished reputation against which
these ISLANDERS are directed. They are
offering a baking powder which Off
cial analyses have repeatedly shown
is made from alum, a drug so well
recognized by physicians and scien-
lists as 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 a pound No prudent
housewife will knowingly put such
stuff as this into her food.

ACCOMMODATING HEN.

So contagious is the Cornell spirit"
that white Ithaca hen of unblemish
Ell character has been persuaded, after
ii course of dietetics with professors
of the Cornell State College of Agri-
culture, TO lay eggs bright with the
Cornell colors. The yolks are red and
the albumen white.
A harmless dye was given the hen
with her feed, and when it was seen
that her plumage began to turn a
delicate pink her eggs was examined
and found to be still more deeply col
ored.
Other admixtures of dye turned the
yolk OF the egg pink and the hens feet
