A BAKING POWDER TRICK.

The Chicago firm under whose direc-
tions the baDd of women are testing
our baking powders has hit upon very
cunning trick. The "test," as performed
by these ladies, is to mix the baking
powder they peddle and that found in the
kitchen with water, separately, and call
attention tc the difference of action. That
found in the kitchen, if pure, will foam
up quickly like champagne. The baking
powder thoy desire to prove superior will
rise slowly, foaming like new yeast, over
the top of the glass. This slower action
results from the presence of flour, album
en- or a gum in their baking powder, and
is evidence of adulteration. To prove
this, fill glass bali full of water, mix
together equal parts of -four and some
pure baking powder, pour into the water
and stir quickly. There will be produced
precisely the same efect-the slow foam
ing action-produced by The tests with
the adulterated baking powder as made
by cur lady missionaries from Chicago.
The effect will be even heightened by
adding a little lime, such as the bak-
ing powder carried by the ladies and
the other low grade adulterated powders
contain. Of course, any statements made
in reference to other baking powders. by
parties caught in practicipg such tricks
as these for the purpose of deceiving the
pnblic, will be entitled to no credit.

Last week The Leader mentioned the
fact that swinde had been going on
recently and that Lake Mills was the
address Of the swindler. The facts rela-
tive to tbe case are that man in Grand
Haven, Mich, was doing business under
the name of Hall & Co.," and was one
of these fellows who advertise extensively
for agents, guaranteeing big pay and
then request ten or twenty-five cents for
Sample outfit" He had been getting a
large number of letters from different
parts Of the country and all contained
money He LETT Grand Eaven and or
dered the postmaster to forward his mail
to Lake Mills, Wis. The latter 'fsmelled
mouse however, and notified the pos
tai authorities at Chicago, who in turn
instructed Postmaster Black not to give
up the fellows mail until he was satisfied
that it was the right person. According
ly, when the man came into the postoffice
short time since and wanted 'Hall &
Co.'S mail, Mr.. Black said he would
have to prove that he was the man. The
fellow went out, saying that he would
come in again in the morning. He took
straight line for Johnson's Greek, and
went up the road at lively rate. Post
master Black at once telegraphed the
postal authorities at Chicago, but Of
course when the inspector arrived here it
was too late. There were some three
hundred letters here for him then, and
they have been coming on at lively rate
ever since. Those envelopes that have
return cards printed on them were sent
back to the writer's, but the others will
never reach the senders except through
the dead-letter Office. The fellow, of
course, never answered the letters, but
simply pocketed the money received for a
Sample outfit" He was using the mails
for fraudulent purpose and if caught he
will receive the full penalty of the law.
The case should teach two important
lessons. One is, not to send money to
persons you do not know are conducting
legitimate business. The other is, that
no matter whether you are in business or
not use printed envelopes. and sometime
it may save you some money, as it would
have some three hundred of this fellows
