Baking Powder Bill Passed by the
Minnesota Senate.

The recent newspaper discussion
of the dangerous qualities of am
monia comes from the alarming in
crease of its use in baking powders.
People who absorb it in small guam
titles from day to day suffer from
slow ammonia poisoning. Taken
Internally in sufficient quantities il
eats away the coatings of the stom-
ach and intestines and causes death.
Slow ammonia poisoning produces
various forms of stomach trouble.
Not one woman in ten thousand
would use all ammonia baking
powder if she knew it. Such pow
ders not only undermine the health.
but ammonia imparls a sallow and
blotched complexion.
Following is the bill recently
passed 10y the Minnesota senate. 1t
is the danger signal which the law
throws out for the protection of the
people:
BILL FOR AN ACT 10 REGULATE
THE TRAFFIC IN BAKING
POWDER.
Section Amy person who shall
knowingly sell or procure the sale,
or offer for sale of any package or
can of baking powder, containing
any ammonia in it, not distinctly,
legibly and durably branded, stamp
ell or marked in a conspicuous place
with the words III the English Ian
guage "This Baking Powder cou-
tains Ammoui," in letters of great
plea, or any letters equivalent there
to in lenghth, shall be guilty of n
misdemeanor, and punished by q
fine not less than $50 nor more tuan
$50; shall be confined in the county
Jail not less than teu or more than
twenty days or by both fine and
imprisonme Mt, at the discretion OF
the court.
Section 2.-The sale or offer Coz
sale of the substance mentioned in
the foregoing section in packages
not stamped, marked, branded or
labelled as therein required, shall he
prima-facie evidence of knowledge
of the character of said substance,
on the part of the person so selling
or offering for sale ana his employer.
Section 3.-This act shall he in
force on and after its passage.
Note.-An incident occurred i'm
the house when the senate bill came
up for passage, in reference to an
amendment proposed by Mr.. Di-
ment. This was opposed by several
members. Mr.. Feig said that if the
bill as it came from the senate was
all right then the amendment was
all wrong. The amendment com.
pelling the printing of the word
ammonia" on the label only affect
ed the Royal Baking Powder, and
no wonder they felt the senate bill
was a blow at them.

Sheet Iron for Mounting Pr,pts.

At one of the most extensive eastern
manufacturing establishments there has
for some time been in use thin sheet
iron as a mounting for blue prints, al
arrangement which, 1t is represented
has proved in high degree satisfactory
1t is cold rolled, has a smooth surface,
and is cut into two sizes for blue prints
used in the shop, and is represented as
possessing the advantages of being
practically indestructible as well as
quite light and inexpensive.
For this purpose the iron is first var
nished on both sides with shelIac var
nish, the blue print being then put on
with a paste composed of ordinary
starch, after which the face of the print
is vanished with the shellac Expert
ments show that starch is the only kind
of paste that proves satisfactory in this
case; also that unless the iron is pre-
viously vanished it oxidizes under the
print and spoils the lines. s.-New York

the right age to be taught to make
bright remarks and ask for crackers.
They are beautiful in plumage and

Parrots require but very little care,
and make pleasing pets. They must
be protected against dampness, and no
food that has grain of salt in it must
be allowed in their cage.
Parrots are of great antiquity.
Ctcsias, who wrote a century before
Aristotle. refers plainly to parrots when
he writes in his "Judica" of "a bird
with purple face and black beard,
about the size of a sparrow hawk,
which could speak the Indian Ian

1t is strange that no representation
of parrot has as yet been discovered

The part that is taken by milk in
disseminating certain diseases, such
as scarlatina, typhoid fever and
erysipelas, has been known for long
time. 1t can be said without any fear
of mistake that next to water milk is
the vehicle that conveys the greater
part of pathogenic microbes. and
which consequently best facilitates the
diffusion OF infectious diseases. Be-
sides this, quite number of investi-
gators, among whom should be mem
toned Helm, Loffier, Hisse and Ras-
kina, have proved that milk is an
extremely favorable body for the de-
velopment Of pathogenic microbes,
and it should be we'll known that
these microbes develop in it especial
ly we'll when it has not undergone acid
fermentation; that is TO say, at the
very moment when it is most suited to
be used as food.
