Germany is already the most socialist state in
the world. Out of 24,036 miles OF railroad all
but 3,43s in 1890 were owned by the government
which, from owning q per cent. in 1866 and 81
per cent. in 1881, now owns 81 per cent. The
state, partly by taxation and partly by leyying
on employers and employed, paid to laborers in
1859 sick insurance in 1,762, $40 cases, with a
total of 29,52S770 days of illness. Two years
ago, January l, 1899, 1881. GAG German working
men were enjoying state insurance for accident
and the sum paid to widows and children under
this law was sS,500f00 in 1889. When the old
age insurance law, which went into effect
January l, 1891, is in full operation the German
government expects to be paying out s17, 600 ,0G0

BAKING POWDER
IN THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURES.

The following, taken from s'The Oil.
Paint and Drug Reporter" refers to a new
bill just introduced in the legislature of
New York state:
s'The latest development in the baking
! powder war, is the introduction of a bill in
| the legislature of this state requiring all
| packages OF baking powder which contain
| ammonia, to be branded with a statement
of the fact in large type on the label.
Now while the ammonia contention is on,
why cannot the law give the publiS the
| benefit of the doubt ? Wholly unprejut
| diced people are certainly not willing to be-
dosed with the substance acknowledged as
| poison, simply because scientists, come OF
whom are not even Psychologists, disagree
as to it's potency"
A similar bill was introduced last April
but it is shrewdly surmised that the inHuf
ence of interested parties prevented its pass
sage. The provisions of the bill are so
just that it will probably soon become q
law.
This will be good news to the mauu<
facturers of pure Cream of Tartar baking
powders, the most prominent of whom is
the Prices Baking Powder Company Of
Chicago and st. Louis, makers of DR.,
Prices Cream Baking Powder, who have
always made strictly pure Cream of Tar+
tar powder, Notwithstanding the temptas
tions of adulteration suggested by the
enormous profits realized by q large New
York concern which uses ammonia, and al+
vertises its powder strictly pure, by
means Of sarbled official reports aud cers
tificates signed by its own employees, dubt

ist as fancy may dictate.
A bill compelling alum powders to be-
oonspicuously labeled as such, already ex.
lists in Minnesota and it is to be hoped iu
the interest of the consumer that similar
laws will soon be enacted in other states
for ammonia as we'll as alum.
Tho following powders known to contain
either ammonia or alum or both, will be-
affected by the proposed legislation:
