tanning ammonia and alum, compiled
from official reports and published in a
recent number of the Scientific american,
is given below. at deals in q direct
manner with an evil which must be cut

port. Following is partial list of

Ammonia and alum are the most COM
mon adulterants used in the manufact-
ure of baking powders. The government
report shows that large percentage o.
the baking powders on the market con-
tain either one or the other, or both
these pernicious drugs.
What woman would use an ammonia
or alum baking powder if she knew it
Such powders not only undermine the
health, but ammonia gives to the com
plexion a sallow or blotched appearance
The presence of ammonia or alum in
baking powder, however, can easily bt
detected.
To Detect Ammonia.-Mix one heapini
teaspoonful of baking powder with on,
teaspoonful of water in tin cup; boi
thoroughly for a few moments, stir t
prevent burning, and if ammonia i
present you can smell it in the risinl
steam. Or place can of the suspected
powder top down on a hot stove for
minute or two, then take of the cove
} and smell.
To Detect Alum.-Alum powder can b.
usually detected by putting couple o
teaspoonfuls of the powder in glass o
cold water. If no effervescence-that is
bubbling or simmering--takes place
condemns the powder and return it a

indictments charging them with en-

sued from the criminal court for
the arrest OF Frceman y. Somerby,
Amos II. uosmer, Joseph Gladding, j.
II. Hayes. L. W Rouse. c. ii. Baker
and j. II. Eckersley, and these were
taken at once to the governor, who will
issue acquisitions on the governors Of
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland and
other states for the arrest and return
of the parties to this state for trial I'M
der the indictments. The bond of SUI
preme Cashier Davis, who was indicted
at the same time and on the same
charge, was fixed at $50, COO, and like

PENDANTS,
The prosecutor has determined to
push the cases without further delay,
and the trials will take place as soon
as the indicted parties can be brought
to this city. Somerby's attorney assured
the prosecutor that his client would
come here whenever wanted, but the
fact that he keeps aloof has led the
prosecutor to believe that the ex-su
supremer will not stand trial II
he can escape by any technicality
1t is believed that the courts
processes will be resisted when
arrests are attempted, and that a fight
will be made to get the prisoners here

the acquisitions with great care, SO as
not to to give loop-hole for escape on
