iCOUNTERFEITING A BAKING
,sa POWDER. &

The public is too well informed as
as to the danger from slum baking
powders to need any canton against
using them. 1t is, nevertheless, a
fact that many of our most prudent
and careful housckeopers arc, with
out knowing it. using these deleter-
ious articles daily, and from them
preparing for their families food
which, were they aware of its natnre,
they would not offer to a begger.
Baking powders made from burnt
alum cost less than four cents a
pound. When these can be worked
off in place ofthe Royal Baking Pow
der, and sold for forty or fifty cents
a pound, there are many manufac-
turers and dealers sufficiently un,
scrupulous to do it. f IA
A fayorite method of selling these
poisonous alum baking powders is
by placing them in an empty Royal
Baking Powder can and Weighing
them out in small quantities when
the Royal Baking Powder is called
fora by customers. The grocer, IL
questioned, claims that he buys in
large packages at lower rate, and
is thus able to sell below the price
OF the goods in small Cars. All bak-
ing powders sold in this way are en-.
titled to suspicion. Analyses of
many of them have been made with
view to prosecution, and in all
cases they have been found lnrgely
adulterated and generally made from
poisonous burnt alum. This is sell
ing counterfeit goods, and is, OF
course, an offence against the law.
We are glad to know that the Royal
Baking Powder Company have taken
the matter in hand, and are acting
in way that will protect the public
from the swindle.
The surest protection from TINS
fraud is for the housekeeper to buy
the baking powder of the brand she
wishes in the original unbroken pack
age, looking carefully to see that the
label has not been tampered with.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
announce, what is well known, that
their goods are packed for the con-
venience of consumers in cans OF va
rious sizes, but are never sold in
bulk, by the barrel or by weight or
measure. The cans are securely
sealed with the company's trade
mark label, and the weight Of each
package stamped on the cover. Any
baking powder being peddled out by
weight under the name OF Royal they
denonnce as bogus and TO be avoid
ed. aDsE ~ A9i'i
Consumers should bear these facts
in mind if they do not wish to have
imposed upon them the poisonous
alum stuff that Is being profnsely
distributed throughout the country
under the name Of baking powder.
IT. however, they buy the Royal in
cans with unbroken labels, they are
always sure of using baking pow
der perfectly pure and wholesome,
and of the highest test, strength and
efficiency. 8d go fo seema

in house on Wabash avenue, whittier he
had been traced from the hotel. was found
a canvas-coyered trunk and lbs pounds OF
opium.
For some time the Custom house officials
had been looking for quantity of opium
which was thought to have arrived in this
city from New York, instead of from the
Pacific coast, presumably to dodge the
heavy duties imposed upon the drug. For
month special agent has been in active
search for the stuff, and about ten davs ago
small quantity of the drug was seized at
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
