a FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Shall We Drive Slow Poison From
Our Breakfast Table?
ALUM AND AMMONIA IN OUR BREAD.
A nuisance that troubled England
fifty years ago is now rapidly spread
ing in this country, that is putting
Alum in the bread we eat. This
question is causing a great deal OF
discussion at the present moment,
as it is revealed that alum is being used
as a substitute for cream OF tartar in
baking powders. A story is told
that a very large percentage Of the
baking powders sold on the market
contain either alum or ammonia,
and many OF them contain both these
pernicious drugs. Much timely alarm
is felt at the wholesale use of alum i'm
bread, biscuit and pastry. To young
children, growing girls, persons of
weakly frame alum bread eaten morn
ing noon and evening is the most
harmful. It is the small quantities
taken at every meal that do the
mischief. Alum is cheap, costing but
two or three cents a pound while
cream of tartar costs SOC, and the high
price of cream Of tartar has led cheap
baking powder to be made of alum.
II the reader wants to know some
thing Of the corrosive qualities OF
alum let him touch piece to his
tongue then reflect howit acts on the
tender delicate coats OF the stomach.
