IOWA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
On the Question of Adultersted Baking
Powders.

Des Moines Leader.
The Iowa State Board of Health in its
report for 1891, devotes several pages to
the discussion of the use of Alum and
Ammonia in baking powders, both of
which ingredients it holds to be delete
rious and cites numerous authorities in
regard to their harmful action. few OF
which we will repeat.
DIR. Gibbon, of London, says: Il have
no hesitation in assigning the use OF
Alum in bread, as the chief cause of the
frequent constipation, headaches, liver
arrangements, etc"
s. II. Johnston, Professor Of Chemist
ry at Yale College, says: Bread made
with baking powder containing Alum
must yield soluble alumina salt with
the gastric juice, and must therefore
act as poison. The manufacture and
sale Of such poissns ought to be inter
dicted with heavy penalties.
Further down on the same page, the
report goes on to state that Winslow
Anderson, NJ. D., medical department of
the University of California, gives it as
his opinion: that the American disease
Of dyspepsia is due TO the use of baking
powders con tanning Ammonia and other
adultera nts.
Recent investigation has revealed the
fact that stores in this state are flooded
with baking powders containing the in.
furious ingredients condemned by the
Iowa State Board Of Health. Many OF
the Alum and Ammonia powders are
labeled and advertised as absolutely
pure" to mislesd the public.
Following is partial list of the Alum
and Ammonia powders found in tn,

Surely nothing but their cheapness

Last Saturday was w. E. Fletcher's
59th birthday, and he will long rsmem-
Der that particular anniversary Of his
birth, because of very pleasant and
successful surprise which was planned
by his wife and executed with the as
sistsncs Of large number 0! their
friends. Mr.. Fletcher thought it moth
ing strange that q number Of his old
friends should drop in to see him Satur-
day evening, but when the Custer
Cornet Band struck up lively tune in
his front yard and neighbors came pour
ing in at every door he was overwhelm-
ed with surprise. He recovered in time
to assist Mrs. Fletcher in entertaining
the visitors who had taken possession
of their cozy home, and more pleasant
evening was never passed. A bountiful
repast was spread and disposed of in the
course Of the evening, and when Sun
day morning had succeeded Saturday
night the party broke up and the guests
dispersed, congratulating their host and
hostess upon the success Of the occasion
and wishing the former many more
such happy anniversaries Of his natal
day.

Mrs Stowe on Woman's Sphere.

The question was lately raised wheth-
er Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe had ever
publicly declared herself in favor Of
suffrage for women The following ex-
tract from Mrs. Stoves House and
Home Papers" volume copyrighted
by her in 1864, shows that. even in
very early days, she expressed herself
upon this question with no uncertain
sound
Woman's Rig Conventions are a
protest against many former absurd,
unreasonable ideas.--the more physical
and culinary idea of womanhood as
connected only with buildings and shirt
buttons, the unjust and unequal burde ems
which the laws of harsher ages had cast
upon The sex. Many of the women
connected with these movements are as
superior in everything properly woman
" as they are III exceptional talent and
culture. There is no manner of doubt
that the sphere of woman is properly
TO be enlarged, and that republican gov
ernments in particular are to be saved
from corruption and failure only by
allowing to woman this enlarged sphere.
Every woman has rights as a human
being first, which belong TO no sex, and
ought to be as freely conceded TO her
as if she were a man,-and first and
foremost, the great right of doing any
thing which God and nature evidently
hnr oh 10
made natural orator, like Miss
Dickinson, or al astronomer, like Mrs.
somerville, or singer, like Grisi, let
not the technical rules of womanhood
be thrown in the way of her free use of
her powers. Nor can there be any
reason shown why woman's vote in
the State should not be received with as
much respect as in the family. A
State is but an association of families.
and laws relate to the rights and
immunities which touch woman's most
private and immediate wants and dear
est hopes and there is no reason
why sister, wife and mother should be
more powerless in the State than in the
home. Nor does it make a woman un-
womanly to express an opinion by drop
ping a slip of paper into box. more
than to express that same opinion by
conversation. In fact, there is no doubt
that in all matters relating to the
interests of education. temperance and
religion, the State would be material
gamer by receiving the votes of women.
The Nebraska commissioner OF in
dustrial education has collected answers
to inquiries concerning the cost per acre
of making crop of corn from every |
county in that state. The average Of
Ill the figures is s6.44 per acre.

Classification Of Soils.

Soils are commonly classified &C.
cording to the substances of which they
appear to be largely composed, as fol-
luws:--
1. Sandy. Pure sand, which is
composed entirely of particles OF quartz
rock, would be of little value for agri-
cultural purposes. 1t can furnish no
food for the support of plants. 1t is
generally, however, mixed with other
substances which give it some fertility.
Sandy soil has but little power to re-
tain moisture. Rain water readily
soaks through it and runs away. Such
land suffers severely from drought.
1t is, furthermore. unable to retain for
any length of time the supplies of plant
food which are formed in il or added
to it. These substances are washed
out as water passes through it. II is
called light soil. and has the advantage
of being easy to till. Ii becomes dry
and warm enough for cultivation earll-
er in the spring than other kinds Of soil
2. GrdreAy. Gravel is like sand,
except that the rocks of which it is COM
posed have not been ground so iiue
Gravelly soil is largely composed of
10 ks ground to various degrees of fine
ness. 1t has the same general proper
ties as sandy soil. When nearly pure,
it is even less valuable than the latter
for agricultural purposes.
;. Cldyey CLAY consists of certain
kinds OF decomposed rock. Pure clay,
OF itself, contains but little plant food.
but it possesses in remarkable degree
the property Of absorbing and retaining
other substances which tend to render
it fertile. Fertilizers which have been
applied TO clayey soil are retained for
a long time, until withdrawn BY grow
ing crops.
Water teaching through such soil is
found to core away as pure AS when
it enters, washing away no valuable
substances
1t is called heavy soil. Water passes
through it very slowly. so that it can
not be titled until late in the spring, or
for long time after heavy rains. #

Who can she be who bids us come
These viands rich to sampler
Where did she hear, how could she know
OF our appetites so ample?
She's met us at excursion times,
When days of summer measure
And dearth Of business-gave us time
To take bit OF pleasure.
From the old Bay State she halls, they say
And Boston has been mentioned
Rare Boston, famed for bread and beans
She's surely well intentioned.
A noble woman, noblv planned
To feed US fellows highly.
And. be she Maine or Boston bred,
Wen bless the name of Reilly!
She knows the weakness Of our sex,
That printers forms need filling,
That hunger waits on editors.
And that they re always willing
To puff good taste, or taste good puifs;
With pi or pie are skilled;
And whether news or stews are found,
Are anxious to be filled
50. be she angel from the skies,
Or a woman sweet and smiley,
These lean and hungry printer men
Haste to Augusta spryly,
And gather at Grand Army Hall
Some bold and others slyly-
But all agreed with one accord
To praise Miss Mary Reilly.
