SERIOUS. FACTS ABOUT BREAD
Which Housekeepers should Earnestly
Consider.


A serious danger menaces she health
Of the people of this country in the
numerous alum baking powders that
are now being urged upon the public.
There is no question as to the detri.
mental effects of these powders upon the
system. Every Board of Health, every
physician, will tell you of the unwhole-
some qualities they add to Che food.
Some countries have absolutely prohib-
tied the sale of bread containing alum.
Even small doses of alum, given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn, indigestion,
gripping constipation, dyspepsia, and va
rious kindred gastric troubles from irri-
tation of the mucous membrane, caused
by the continuous use of food prepared
with the alum or alum-phosphate pow
ders, are familiar in the practice of
every physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they are
sold, or from the fact that they are ac-
companied by a gift, or are disposed
of under some scheme. The alum pow
der costs but few cents a pound to
make, and is often sold at 20 or % cents
pound. If some present is given with
it, the price may be 80, 40 or 50 cents a
pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or advertised
as costing only half as much as cream
Of tartar powders, or accompanied by
present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain pro-
lection of our bread, biscuit and cake
from all danger of EMBELLISHMENTS is
in the use of the Royal Baking Powder
only. This powder is mentioned be-
cause OF the innumerable reports in its
favor by high medical authorities, by
the Q. s. Government, and by the of
fetal chemists and Boards of Health, |
which leave no doubt as to its entire |
freedom from alum, lime and ammonia,
its absolute purity and wholesomeness. !
While its use is thus safeguard |
against the poisonous alum powders it |
is satisfactory at the same time to know
that it makes the whitest, lightest, |
sweetest and most delicious food, which |
will keep moist and fresh longer, and |
that can be eaten with immunity hot
or cold, stale or fresh, and also that
owing to its greater strength it is more
economical than Others.
These facts should incline consumers
to turn deaf ear to all opportunities
to buy the inferior powders. If a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure,
alum brands, it should be borne in
mind that it is because he can make
more profit on them. The wise house
keeper will decline in all cases to take
them.

ANOTHER BOMB.
Attempt to Blow Up the Papal Guard
Building.

Attempt TO BLOW Up the Papal Guard
Building.
ROME, March 2O-Following closely
upon the unsuccessful attempt to blow
up the Ancini Mattel palace. the resi-
dence of William Potter, American
minister to Italy, another dynamite
outrage was attempted to-day at the
Palazzo Altieri, the headquarters of the
Guardia Nobili, one of the military or.
CARNATIONS, whose duty it is to attend
the pope and to be present at great re.
ligious functions at the vatican.
Early this morning a boy passing the
Palazzo Altieri saw mass of what he
at first thought was mortar lying upon
the steps of the palace, ran up the steps
and was surprised to see a burning fuse
extending from the mass He at once
stamped out the fuse with his feet and
then notified the police.
Gendarmes were sent to the palace
and found that what the boy had at
first mistaken for mass of mortar was
powerful bomb containing dynamite
or other high explosive encased in a
thick coating of plaster of paris, which,
in the opinion of experts, would have
added to the destruction that would
have been wrought had an explosion
occurred.
A number of anarchist had been ar.
rested in the city lately and this has
apparently caused the friends of the
men arrested to attempt these out.

Rich Routes for Mendicants Sold by An
Enterprising Woman,
Paris municipal councillor, George
Berry, has been exploring all sorts of
out-of the-way places with view to
presenting the council a report on
begging and beggars in the French
capital. Under disguised begging
he devotes a special chapter to those
strange trades which really come un-
der that heading, and he has also
much to say about the people who
while not actually going begging
themselves, get their living out of
those who do.
Near the Ecole de Medicine NJ.
Berry found a woman who sells sets of
addresses of the chsritably disposed
to begging-letter r.npostors. She sells
two sorts, the big set and the little
set de grand jeu ct lie petit jeu). The
little set is francs, ard comprises zoo
addresses; for IS fans one can have
the big set of $50 addresses, sufficient
says the vendor, to enable anyone
starting in the business to earn his
living for a year. As VI Berry
bought copy of each set, doubtless
the council will give a useful warning
to the persons whose addresses are
given.
Ordinary street begging in Paris, is
reckoned to bring in an average of at
least shilling an hour. MANY of the
beggars sleep in the neighborhood of
the Jardin de Plautes. \ man in the
neighborhood makes a large income
by affording shelter To them at the
Ste of penny head per night. He
is enabled to do this by hiring for
small sum each, until regular atten-
dants are obtained for them, all the
empty shops and houses he can obtain.
