Great Isjury to Health

The great danger In the traffic in adul-
terated food arises from the deception thai
il practised by manufacturers usual class.
ing such goods as pure. This is almos!
invariably done when the adulterant is one
that is injurious to health. For instance,
manufacturers of Ammonia, Alum, or Lime
baking powders not only fail to ifiform the
public of the real character of their goods,
but carefully conceal the fact that they are
made from these poisonous articles. Most
of these manufacturers also claim that
their articles are absolutely pure. No
consumer will buy ammonia or alum bak-
ing powders knowingly, for 1t is well un-
derstOod that thev are detrimental to
health. The sale of Ammonia and Alum
baking powders as pure and wholesome
articles, is, therefore, criminal.
The official analysts have recently been
active In the pursuit Of these dishonest arti-
cles. The Baking Powders Of several states
have been carefully and critically examined.
The officials are surprised at the large
amount of Ammonia, Lime and Alum goods
found.
II Is q suggestive fact that DIR. Prices
Cream Baking Powder has been found, by
the several state commissioners, govern
ment chemists and eminent food analysts,
to contain neither Ammonia, Lime or Alum,
while the Royal Baking Powder was found
to contain Ammonia and Lime in large guam
titles The chief service Of Ammonia is to
cheaper the product; but, being caustic Of
powerful nature, 1t produces serit u, ef-
fects on the delicate membranes of the
stomach, intestines and kidneys; more par
ticuiarly of infants and children, and es-
pecially when the Ammonia Is taken into
the system day after day, and with almost
every meal. This is said by physicians to
be one of the causes Of indigestion, dyspep-
sia and those painful diseases Of the kid
neys, now so prevalent
Adulteration with Ammonia is quite as
much to be dreaded as with Alum, which
has always received the most emphaticco
demnation from food analysts, physicians
and chemists.
To determine the purity of any Baking
Powder, make this simple test: MIX In q
tin cup too heaping teaspOonfuls Of the
Powder with three teaspoOnfuls of cold
water, place 1t over the fire, stirring con-
stantly, allow to boil thoroughly, or until
the gas escapes freely; then smell. If
adulterated, that unspeakable oder, proving
the source Of Ammonia. will be plainly de-
tected. The presence Of Ammonia in most
cases, indicates that Alum Is used, as
nearly all the Alum of commerce contains
Ammonia. Pure Baking Powder will not
give the faintest Ammonical odor.

THE DISGUSTING DRUG, AMMONIA,
is NOT FIT FOR USE BY ANY MAN.

A good many Ohio papers have raised a
howl about introducing southern slave

twaddle! Are not any means justifable in
bringing murderer to justice. The fact
is shat these editors have their heads full
of the Uncle Toms Cabin show bills. and
have visions of the hounds lunching on

these dogs are successful in tracking GRIM
inals they will doubtless be used by detec-
tives all through the north.

A tremendous stir has been raised among
proprietors of clearinghouse and restau-
rants in this city by the fining of q hotel
proprietor and restaurant keeper for sup.
plying their tables with oleomargarine.
Now, as 1t Is extremely unlikely that any
of the eating-houses will put up a sign
stating that they use oleomargarine on their
tables, the bOarders will probably have
treat of fresh spring butter for the next
few weeks. With meals at Is cents each
on the ticket plan, and day board at IS
week. it will be quitea problem for the
clearinghouse people to keep their tables
supplied with good butter.
IL the inspector had pushed his investi-
cations a little further he might have
found more victims. One of the most sue
eessful oieomsrgarine sensations ever
worked up In Ohio was that Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gdzette some years ago.
That journal sent its reporters to dozens OF
hotels and restaurants for specimens of
butter. The scribes told all sorts of stories
in order to get the butter. One
wanted to oil his boots. Another
wanted to go fishing and take some bread
and butter along, etc. When the specimens
were all in they were sent to a chemist who
snalyzed them. The cold, cruel types then
set forth to cruel world just what kind of
butter the res taurants and hotels Of Cincin-
natl were serving to hungry public. There
was terrific howl when the article ap-
peared.
Every stranger who goes into 8 Spring
field restaurant just at present Is subject to
the horrible suspicion Of being the butter
inspector. The public should not be toe
hard on the restaurant men, however. No

VIII Rockield told the best southern CAL
ifornia story Of the season the other day
when he was here. "A shrewd down-east
farmer sent his son to southern California
to seek his fortune. The young fellow
struck pretty rough and dry section of
country, but still he was carried away by
the eiOquence of the boomers, and wrote an
enthusiastic letter home:
dear father he wrote, come at once.
All that is needed to make existence de-
lightful here is plenty of water and good
society. Yours, etc.
THE answer to this episule was short
and as sollOws:
".Desr sOn-Yours received. That's all
HI lacks-water and good society. Your
loving father"
Young Rockfeld also alleged that it was
almost impossible to get any lumber there,
as everything was engaged for stakes for
town lots. RAMBLER.

"Here comes Norris and his blood
hounds" said a man on Limestone street
the other day. Having visions of large
monsters about the size of Shetland ponies,
with jaws yawning like theatrical trap
door, and teeth like buzz saw, l looked
hurriedly around for tree, fire escape or
other means of safety. None being near,
stood my ground, and up trotted two of the
meekest, prettiest little dogs ever saw.
They seemed about the size OF a very
young pointer, and had silky glossy hair,
and eyes filled with an expression of gen.
tleness. | doubted that these were the
dogs. wait, I'll prove it to you," said
John T. 81 say you," he called to mid
die aged colored man who happened to be
passing. ''ain't those the blood hounds they
used to hunt the runaway slaves with in
the south. ''Them's the kind" said the
man, gazing with ill-concealed terror at the
little dogs.
~ told you So" said Norris, people
have an idea that all bloodhounds are four
feet high, and have to be kept in q cage
ike Bengal tigers, and that when they are
let out, they devour any human being In
the neighborhood, on sight. Now
you see those little dogs trotting along
ON the pavement without trying to hurt or
even noticing anyone"
"Will they be useful in detective work."
"Well, should say so. There are many
eases in which important criminals escape
thr III not employing bloodhounds. Take
tile Hertzler murder near this city, for in

could have been captured, because it is
pretty sure that the murderers lay in the

your arm and the most wonderful
noses of any created creatures. L.
would never do for q fourteen Eva,
ten Marks and two brass band-powel
Uncle Toms Cabin company to carry pair
of such little bloodhounds. The average
audience would be unable to understand
when the hounds were chasing Eliza
across the river on blocks of ice, why she
did not grab one up in each hand and
drown them like kittens.
The fact Is, however, that there are sew
eral kinds of bloodhounds. An article on
the bloodhound says: "The bloodhound is
hound trained for the pursuit of men,
wounded animals or beasts of prey.
He is not particularly ferocious, as
his name would imply, and will
hunt any other game to which he
is trained as readily as any man. Any
hound naturally hunts whatever he per-
eeives to be his prey, and the distinction of
foxhound, staghound harrier, boarhound
or the like. is only matter Of training and
not OF instinct"
The Uncle Toms Cabin hounds are
probably of another breed, and not the gen.
uine bloodhound. The article continues:
THE animal known as the Cuban blood
hound is not blood hound, but is descen-
dant of the msstiff crossed by the Span
yards to pursue Indians, and was after
wards employed in the capture of fugitive
slaves. 1t has some scenting powers, but
1t is as inferior in these to the true blood
hound es il Is superior to him In blood
thirstiness and cruel in discriminate pug
nacity. This breed was only used occa-
sionally in the southern states to follow
runaway slaves"

NEAT BUSTER GASES.

How to Make Very Pretty and Inexpen-
sive busting Bags.
IL would often be convenient to have
a buster in every room, but dust
brush seems out of place when con-
spicuous enough to be at hand. Thus
dusting- bags have grown to be works
of art
A simple one to hang on a key
board near the bureau in all sleeping
rooms, is made thus: Take cream
white scrim, twelve inches wide and
thirty long. About two inches from
the sides draw lengthwise fifteen
threads; weave narrow ribbon (the
Tom Thumb is the besD over five
threads and under five threads; weave
in three rows on each side; always
putting each row under where the next
one to it was put over, the same as
splint baskets are woven. Now turn
a hem on each side up close to the rib
bon; then hem each end an inch and
a half deep and put rim"
at the lower edge of these hens
of one-half inch. Take two
pieces of half-inch ribbon twenty
inches long. and draw into this rim
one from the left and one from the
right; fasten one at the right in the
middle, one at the left; tie each in
bow and draw up like an old-fashioned
work-bag. This makes a big shape.
but it's hemmed stiles leave an opening
at both sides, SO that once hung in its
place it need not be disturbed, for the
dust-cloth can be taken out or put in
at either side. The dust cloth may be
a silk handkerchief. or square of
cheese cloth can be plainly hemmed or
feather-stitched down in red worsted.
One may have good servants and
yet often wish that a buster was at
hand to wipe a vase or brush some
books, and if one takes the whole care
of ones rooms. surely convenience is
of great moment. More elaborate
ones hang now in sitting-rooms and
parlors. -hessah Shelton. IN N. Y
