face and figure, and mild, not to say
benevolent, expression of countenance.
1t is difficult to look at him and realize
that it is by his hands the terrible AK will
be swung, and that it is his muscles that
will tumble thousands upon thousands
of republican heads into the rows of

deathly attentions.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD
which Housekeepers should Earnestly
Consider.


Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health
of the people of this country IN the
numerous alum baking powders thao
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 the 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
avery physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, win
knowingly use an article of food THAI
will iniure 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 gift, or are disposed
of under some scheme. The elum pow
4 fav -
make, and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents
pound. If some present IS given with
it, the price may be 80, 40 or 80 cents
pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at u low price or advertised
as costing only half as much as cream
OF tartar powders, or accompanied by
present, or disposed of under any
bscheme, 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 unwholesomeness 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 U. 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,
it's absolute purity and wholesomeness.
While it's use is thus a 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 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.
Take no chances through using q doubt
tuL article aohere so important matter as
the health or life Of dear ones as at stake.
