Preparations are now being rapidly and thoroughly made for the Minstrel Show to be given under the auspices of the Cemetery Committee. This com- pany ¬ will be made up of the best local talent of McCook , and there is no doubt of the performance being up to date. The orchestra will be unusually fine. This minstrel is contemplated by the ladies to make improvements in the city cemetery , and deserves , on that ac- count ¬ if nothing more , a liberal patron- age ¬ on the part of the people of McCook- .It . is understood that the city only pro- vides ¬ the funds for the paying of the sexton , and that all improvements have to be made with funds derived from the sale of lots , which is entirely inadequate , hence this means of raising the wind , so- to speak. The ladies contemplate pro- viding ¬ new and proper gates and a rear- rangement ¬ of some drives , besides seme other improvements they deem neces- sary ¬ and desirable. Poultry Association.

The Harmful Drug Concealed In Baking Powders. Recent investigation shows that the stores are largely stocked with baking powders which contain alum , the injuri- ous ¬ ingredient which the Iowa and Min- nesota ¬ State Boards of Health have so strongly condemned. England , Germa- ny ¬ , and France have laws prohibiting the use of alum in bread , and the State of Minnesota forbids baking powder con- taining ¬ alum to be put upon the market , unless the words "This baking powder contains alum , " are printed upon the la- bel ¬ of every package offered for sale. This is the danger signal which the law throws out for the protection of the pee ¬ ple. Yet many of the makers of alum baking powders , such as the " Calumet , " while keeping away from Minnesota , have the effrontery to offer their con- demned ¬ powders to consumers here. Many of these alum powders are gen- erally ¬ labeled "pure , " "best in the world , " "none so good , " or with some other equally misleading catch phrase. Below will be found a partial list of the baking powders sold in this market that been examined and found to contain alum : Calumet Contains Alum. ( Calumet Baking Powder Co. , Chicago. ) K. C Contains Alum- .Jaques . ( Mfg. Co. , Chicago. ) Taylor's One Spoon Contains Alum. ( Taylor Mfg. Co. , St. Louis. ) Chicago Yeast Contains Alum.

The Coming Minstrels.Preparations are now being rapidly

and thoroughly made for the MinstrelShow to be given under the auspices ofthe Cemetery Committee. This com-

pany¬

will be made up of the best localtalent of McCook , and there is no doubtof the performance being up to date.The orchestra will be unusually fine.This minstrel is contemplated by theladies to make improvements in thecity cemetery , and deserves , on that ac-

count¬

if nothing more , a liberal patron-age

¬

on the part of the people of McCook-.It

.

is understood that the city only pro-

vides¬

the funds for the paying of thesexton , and that all improvements haveto be made with funds derived from thesale of lots , which is entirely inadequate ,

hence this means of raising the wind , so-

to speak. The ladies contemplate pro-

viding¬

new and proper gates and a rear-

rangement¬

of some drives , besides semeother improvements they deem neces-

sary¬

and desirable.

NEBRASKA FED ON ALUM.

The Harmful Drug Concealed InBaking Powders.

Recent investigation shows that thestores are largely stocked with bakingpowders which contain alum , the injuri-ous

¬

ingredient which the Iowa and Min-

nesota¬

State Boards of Health have sostrongly condemned. England , Germa-ny

¬

, and France have laws prohibiting theuse of alum in bread , and the State ofMinnesota forbids baking powder con-taining

¬

alum to be put upon the market ,

unless the words "This baking powdercontains alum , " are printed upon the la-

bel¬

of every package offered for sale.This is the danger signal which the lawthrows out for the protection of the pee ¬

ple. Yet many of the makers of alumbaking powders , such as the " Calumet , "while keeping away from Minnesota ,

have the effrontery to offer their con-

demned¬

powders to consumers here.Many of these alum powders are gen-erally

¬

labeled "pure , " "best in theworld , " "none so good , " or with someother equally misleading catch phrase.

Below will be found a partial list of thebaking powders sold in this market thatbeen examined and found to containalum :

.Jaques.
