TIE MAILLARDS.
Decree Of Divorce Signed BY Judge A1ga-

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 12.-The curtain was
ruug down on the last act Of the Maiilard
scandal this afternoon at 4:15 O'clock. At
that time judge f. NJ. Angeloiti affixed
his signature to a decree granting Joseph
Maillard divorce from Emily Hort Mall
lard. There were but few loiterers around
the courthouse when Mr.. Mallard arrived
with his attorney, c. Ben Darwin. Tie
court was not in session at the time, but
Judge Angelotti WAS in his chambers aud
the Sheriff and clerk within call. In a
very few minutes Judge Angelotti assembled
the bench and the court was ann ounced in
session.
Attorney Darwin arose and stated the
nature Of the case, and "a no answer had
been made to the complaint he asked that
Judgment be granted BIZ default. Quite
lengthy report, including dispositions of
hJtel-keepers and others in Humboldt
County, who had seen Ingram and Mrs.
Mallard together, and who knew the rela-
tons they maintained, were read and
passed to the clerk. Several letters from
Mrs. MaIllard to her husband were read.

After leaving the stand Mr.. Maillard imme-
diatelv left the COURTROOM and did not
again appear during the trial.
The decree was submitted to Judge Ange-
lotti, who after careful examination
signed it. The decree gives the custody of
the children, also the community property,
to plaintiff. Mrs. Maillard will be allowed
to do as she pleases with all the separate
property.
During the trial there were but three
spectators. Had it been known that the
case would be on trial to-day the court
room would have been overcrowded.

POISON IN BREAD.
Doctors Say Ammonia In Food
Is Bad,
And Should Never Be Used In Baking
Powders.
A Consensus Of Opinion Of the Leading
Physicians Of San Francisco and
Oakland

One of the simplest articles of diet is
bread. 1t is the daily food of every home.
Why should it not be wholesome? And yet
it is poisoned with deliberation that Is
criminal. Ammonia and alum, insidious
drugs, are put into certain baking powders
which are sold to the consumer because the
adulterants are cheap, regardless of the in
evitable result.
There is no longer any question in the
minds Of doctors and chemists of high
standing as to the effects of ammonia or
alum. They have given their opinions upon
them as an abuse of food unreSeTYedly, and
the Senates of two State Legislatures have
taken hold of the matter aud passed bills
compelling the manufacturers OF articles
which contain them to label packages ac-
cordngly.
That ammonia is the offspring Of every
putrefying substance is we'll known. 1t is
an excrement and not nutriment.
Stllle and MaiSch, eminent chemists and
familiar to science. call it an irritant. 1t is
their emphatic statement that if it is taken
continuously, even in doses which the stom-
ach viii tolerate, it must impair nutrition.
Going farther, they assert that bread in
which ammonia powder is used shows
ammonia reaction, no matter how small the
quantity.
DR.. Elias II. BARLEY, chemist TO the De-
partment of Health in Brooklyn, is an
authority, and has given his opinion that
ammonia Is not expelled from the dough in
the process of baking, and lie condemns the
use OF it in food for that reason. lie affirms
that most medical authorities agree as to
the injurious effect of it.
That ammonia as ar adulterant in baking
powder is an injury to public health, that it
deserves the seveIest condemnation and
should be brought to the attention of very
doctor and Board of Health in the country,
is the opinion of James F. Babcock, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,
The professor Of chemis try in the Uni
versity of Buffalo. r. A. Witthaus, has
spoken OF ammonia as an evil in food.
Recent experiments made for the pur pose
of satisfying legislative committees, as well
ms many that have been made by chemists,
show that ammonia remains in the bread
after the bread has been baked.
Respecting ammonia as a poisonous ad Ill
terant and alum, which is universally
recognized as an astrngent, where used in
baking powders there is consensus of
opinion among well-known and unques-
toned practitioners in Chicago which III ust
convince those who have hesitated.
1t is said that four-ffths of all the baking
powder sold IN this market contain ammonia
or alum.
That what has been said upon this subject
has the most abundant foundation may be
seen from the following interviews with
number OF our most prominent local physI-
clans, which muSt be convnc pg to every
unpreIudice1 person:
