The hottest day this summer two young ladies ap-

drink of the water He'd been with the boys tho

IMPURITIES NOT FOOD.
Defects Of the Phosphate Baking Powders
Their Large and Unwholesome Residuum.

Their Large and UnwhOlesome Residuum.
We have already commented upon
the dangerous proposition advanced
by the phosphate yeast or baking
powder makers to daily dose the en-
tire community, irrespective of it's
physical needs or ailments, with lime
sulphates and phosphates. impurities
that are found in their powders. It
seems almost incredible that any sane
person should put forward as an ar.
gument in behalf of an article Of food
intended for daily use. the claim that
it contains among its impurities
drug which under certain conditions
if properly prescribed by physician
might be useful al q medicine. Ply.
sicians will at once see that to endorse
any such theory as this is even more
dangerous than to recommend to their
patients the indiscriminate use of the
various patent medicines advertised
on every hand as specifics for all the
diseases which flesh is heir to.
In the recent examination of baking
powders made by the Ohio State Food
Commission the phosphate baking or
yeast powders were found to contain
large quantities of lime phospha:es,
lime sulphates. etc., which appeared
as impurities. Their manufacturers
have so far found it impossible to get
rid of these impurities, and this proba-
bly, accounts for their remarkable
claim that such impurities are good
for Us to eat.
The preposterous character of this
claim is evident from the fact well.
know to all physicians that the body
gets with its ordinary food more lime
phosphates than it can assimilate.
The vital organs are taxed, even in
health, to throw this excess off.
Pure and wholesome baking pow.
ders, as is well known, are made from
highly refined cream of tartar. In
phosphate baking or yeast powders
phosphate acid is used as a substitute
for cream Of tartar on account of its
cheapness. The ingredients and pro-
cess used by a well-known manufac.
turer in the preparation Of phosphate
baking powders are in the records of
patent Office at Washington. This is
the formula:
500 POUNDS OF BURNED AND GROUND
Bones are placed in
100 POUNDS SULPHURIC ACID (Oil Of
NitrioD, freshly diluted with
l,OVO POUNDS WATER, and stirred from
time TO time for three days. The
paste is mixed with farinaceous ma
tcrial, or with freshly burned gyp-
sum, or with stearine, and dried and
pulverized This pulverized
acid is 10 be used with bi-carbonate
of soda in baking powders.
Bones of defunct animals are gath
cred from, in and about the great
cities, on battle fields, and wherever
else they may be found in quantities.
These bones are reduced to a powder
with suiphuric acid, aud this powder
is the substitute used in the cheap
phosphate baking and yeast powders
in lieu of the wholesome and more
expensive cream of tartar.
The sulphuric acid, with the lime
and phosphorus OF the bones, produce
the sulphate and phosphate of lime
found in the impurities of the phos-
Phatic baking or yeast powders.

heart to make another set at Bile; but
he was headstronger an ever. an said
we'd ought TO be ashamed on ourselves.
so we'd ought. to take advantage o
numbers to bully an honest man g

While We was at breakfast, the
foreman d managed to get hold o the
county paper, which had jest come out
that morning, and to while away the
time, he began to read it.
Hollol says he; what's this?
What's what? says we.
Listen here, says he, proceeding to
read:
STARTLING RuMoR.-The town is
greatly excited this morning by the
rumored elopement of Mrs. B., the
wife of prominent citizen. She took
advantage, it is said. of her husbands 9
absence on public duty. to carry out
her plan. A marked feature in the
affair is that the lady has scarcely
been married a month.
WHAT that! screeches BiJs Bope,
in an outburst o terror.
The foreman read it over sgin slow
ly and solemn. Now Bijs was as
Jealous as that ere dark completed
chap in the play. Besides there
want no other Mrs. B. in the place
lately married, and there was the cir.
cumstances of the husbands absence
on public dooty. Bic had no doubt
that the Mrs. B. allooded to was his
own wife.

Anything, so it's done quick? he
gasped, in ag'ny.
We could hardly keep him from
jumping out Of the winder, while some
on us pretended to dicker about the
amount We should bring in,. jest to
torment him.
AT last every thing wss fixed, and
we went into court, give in our verdic'

Bile was rushing out on the double

then foreman stopped him.

Bile went off looking cheap an
sheepish. He sent in an sxcoose next
day, an got let off for the balance of
the term, an precious glad we all was
to get rid on him.
