NEEDED LIQUIDATION.
Baking Powder Bill Passed by the hi
nogota Senate.

Baking Powder Bill Passed by 1.-The Min
nesota Senate.
The recent newspaper discussion OF
the dangerous qualities Of ammonia
comes from the alarming increase Of its
use in baking powders People who alb
sorb il in small quantities from day to
day suffer from slow ammonia poison
ing. Taken internally in sufficient quan.
titles 1t eats away the coating Of the
stomach and intestines and causes death
Slow ammonia poisoning produces vari.
Gus forms of stomach trouble.
Not one woman in ten thousand would
use an ammonia baking powder il she
knew it. Such powders not only under.
mine the health, but Ammonia imparts
sallow and blotched complexion.
Following is the bill recently passed
by the Minnesota senate. It's the
danger signal which the law throws out
for the protection of the people,
A Bill for an Act to 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 Am.
monia in it, not distinctly, legibly and
durably branded, stamped or marked
in conspicuou place with the words
in the English language This Baking
Powder contains Ammonia" in letters
Of great plea, or any letters equivalent
thereto in length. shall he guilty of a
misdemeanor, and punished by fine
not less than $40 nor more than $50
shall be confined in the County Jail not
less than ten or more than twenty days
or bv both fine and Imprisonment, at
the discretion of the court.
Section 2.-The sale or offer for sale o:
the substance mentioned in the fore
going section in packages not stamped,
marked, branded or labelled as therein
required, shall be prima-facie evidence
OF knowledge of the character of said
substance, on the part of the person sn
selling or offering for sale and his EN-
ployer.
Section 3.-This act shall be in force
on and after its passage.
NoTE An incident occurred in the
house when the senate bill came up for
passage, in reference to an amendment
proposed 10y Mr.. Diment. This was op.
posed by several members. Mr.. Feie
said that if the bill as i. came from the
senate was all right then the amendment
was all wrong. The amendment com.
pelling the printing of the word "Am.
monia" on the label only affected the
Royal Baking Powder, and no wonder
they felt the senate bill was blow at
them.
