Food Frauds.

wv Va "oV0ACu "lthS oAtuOuSu tuCy dIC
a swlndle in commercial sense, are often
tolerated because they do not particularly
affect the health of the consumer; but
when an article like baking powder, that
enters largely into the food of every fam
lly, and is relied upon for the healthful
preparation of almost every meal, Is so
made as to carry highly injurious, if not
rankly poisonous, elements into the
bread to the imminent danger of the en-
tire community, it is the duty of the
press to denounce the practice IN the most
emphatic terms.
Among recent important discoveries by
the food analysts Is that by Prof. Mott,
the u S. Government Chemist, of large
amounts of lime and alum IN the cheap
baking powders. These are, one the
most dangerous, and the other the most
useless adulterants yet found in the low
grade, inferior baking powders. 1t is a
startling fact that OF over one hundred
different brands of baking powders so far
analysed, comprising all those sold in this
vicinity, not one of them, with the single
exception of the Royal Baking Powder,
was found free from both lime and alum.
The chief service of lime is to add weight.
1t is true that lime, when subjected to
heat, gives of certain amount of car
bonic acid gass, but quick lime Is left
q caustlc so powerful that it Is used by
tanners to eat the hair from hides of ami
mails, and IN dissecting rooms to more
quickly rot the flesh from the bones of
dead subjects. A small quantity of dry
lime upon the tongue, or in the eye, pro-
duces painful effects; how much more
serious must these effects be on the deli
cate membranes of the stomach, intestlnes
and kidneys, more particularly OF infants
and children, and especially when the
lime is taken into the system day after
day, and with almost every meal. This
is said by physicians to be one of the chief
causes of Indigestion, dyspepsia, and
those painful diseases of the kidneys now
so prevalent. Instances of the most seri.
Gus affections of the latter organs from
drinking lime water found in some Sec
tlons of the West are noted in every med
ical journal.
Adulteration with lime IS quite as much
to dread as with alum, which has hereto
fore received the most emphatic condem-
nation from every food analyst, physician
and chemist, for the reason that, while
alum is probably partially dissolved and
passed off in gas by the heat of baking, 1t
is impossible to destroy or change the ma
ture Of the line in any degree, 80 that the
entire amount in the baking powder pas
ses, with all its injurious properties, into
the stomach. When we state that the
chemists have found twelve per cent or
one-eighth of the entire weight of some
samples of baking powder analyzed, to be
lime, the wickedness of the adulteration
will be fully apparent.
Pu,e baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook IN preparing per-
feet and wholesome food. While those
are to be obtained of well-established re-.
putatlon, like.the Royal, of whose purity
there has never been and cannot be a
question, 1t Is proper to avoid all others.

but stubborn sore behind her ears. After she
had taken Swifps Specific for a short time the
sores grew worse and began to discharge.
This regarded as favorable. In ver, short
time her ears grew better and to-day are
entirely we'll. Her appetite is splendid and
regular. She is full Of life and cheerfulness.
The change is evident to the most casual OBJ
server. ascribe It all, under the blessing of

A Grand Georgia Success.

The wonderful success OF the S. S. S. Com =
pany is the strongest proof OF the great merit
OF this famous medicine. Numberless broken
down constitutions have been built up and
hundreds OF homes made happy by the cures
of this wonderful s. 8. s., which has become
a great national remedy, standing the test OF
time, and relieving suffering humanity for 3
period of over nfty years. s. S. S. is known
and used in every village and hamlet in the
United states, and also in many foreign mar
kets. The testimonials that this company has
received from men Of high standing, from
mothers for their children, and people In an
classes and stations of life, are but another
evidence Of the golden harvest of health
reaped from this prolific medicine.
The growth OF thesS. S. S. Company is q
matter OF pride to all Georgians, who are al
ways proud OF the success OF any home enter
prise. The fame of this wonderful cure ID
greatly due TO the liberal advertising Of tho
company.
That s. s. S. is a wonderful medicine ID
never questioned. The volume of business
done by this company IL marvellous and runs

were fearfully swollen, and IL looked as il
every bone in his body was affected, a. small
pieces would come from the running sores. <
thought l would have him operated on, but the
physicians dssuadod me, and gave it up.
One day the little fellow was reading OF what

let him try it. 1 did not believe anything
would help his case, but consented, and pur-
chased three bottles After the use Of the first
