Gen. Kell, speaking Of the Alabama
Kearsarge battle and how the brave
men Of the confederate steamer acted
in the dread event of the ships plunge
to the bottom of the sea, related how
the captains coxswain, Mars, saved

Mars, with instructions to deliver them,

Mars jumped into the water he carried
the papers with him. He was picked

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD
Which Housekeepers Should Earnostl,

Which Housekeepers Should Earnestly
Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health
OF the people OF this country In the nu-
merous 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 I'M
wholesome qualities they add to the
food. Some countries have absolutely
prohibited the sale of bread containing
alum.
Even small doses OF alum, given to
children, have produced fata! results,
while cases Of heartburn, indigestion.
gripping constipation, dyspepsia. and
various kindre1 gastric troubles from
irritation Of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use OF food
prepared with the alum or alum phos-
plate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice Of every physician.
1t is not possible that any pru lent
housewife. any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article OF fool that
will injure the health OF her household,
or perhaps cause the death Of her chill
dren.
How shall tho dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguish And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the pr ce at which they are
sold, or from the factithat they are ac-
companied by gift, or are disposed Of
under some scheme. The alum powder
costs but few cents pound to make,
and Is often sold at 20 or Is cents q
pound. II some present is given with
1t. the price may be 30. 40. or so cents a
pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
| powders in the market, but any baking
| powder sold at iow price, or adver-
tised as costing only half as much as
cream Of tartar powders, or accom-
panied by q present, or disposed of UNI
| der any scheme, is of this class, detri-
mental to health and to be avoided.
But tho easy, safe and certain pro-
| lection Of our Tread, 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 I. 5. Government. and by the off,
| cial chemists and Boards of Health,
| which leave no doubt as to its entire
| freedom from alum, lime and ammonia,
it's absolute purity and wholesomeness.
While Its use is thus safeguard against
the poisonous alum powders, it is salts
factory 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 housekeeper
will decline in all cases to take them.
| Take no chances Through usipg q

matter as the health or life Of dear ones
Is at stake.

Of the bonded warehouse In asking this
