THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
LOOKING AFTER THE ALUM AND AMMONIA
BAKING POWDERS.
portland Oregonian.)

| portland Oregonian.)
A bill for an act in relation to the manu-
/ factare and sale of baking powders, to pre-
vent fraud and preserve the public healtl
has beeu introduced in the legislature al
st. Paul. The bill is intended to preven,
the adulteration of baking powders with
Alum or Ammonia, imposing proper Pen.
aities to enforce the law.
| DR.. o. S. Binswanger, professor of chem.
istry ETC., medical, department University
of Oregon, made an examination some
time ago of the baking powders found in the
Portland stores; the result of which ap-
peared in the Oregonian. DR.. Binswanger
then expressed himself as follows:
Il have just finished ali analysis of the
principal baking powders sold in this mar.
ket with the following startling results:
Hercules" This powder contains am
monia.
Crystal" This powder contains alum.
"Sil,er Star" This powder contains
| alum.
Double Quick" This powder contains
alum.
"Nhite Lily" This powder contains
| alum,
'Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder" "
| This is pure cream of tartar powder and
contains neither alum nor ammonia.
1t will be observed that Dr. Prices was
found by DR.. Binswanger to be pure
cream of tartar baking powder and the only
brand free from alum, ammonia or any i'm
purity.
Following is the list of the more; widely
known brands that DR.. Drew, chemist for
the Minnesota State Dairy and Food Com
mission, as well as other chemists of high
standing, have examined and. found to con-
tain Alum, some of which contain both
Alum and Ammonia. Many of the Alum
and Ammonia powders are labeled and ad-
vertised as absolutely pure to mislea'l
the public. Tie condemned powders given
in this list are sold pretty generally through
Oregon and Washington:
Calumet, "Forest City," ''Grant's Bon
Bon," ''Hotel," "Globe," puritan, -
''Snow Ball." Government" ''PaIace, 3"
''Loyal," Columbia" s'Home," ''Mon-
arch," "Unriyaled," ''Chicago Yeast" "
''Echo," Perfection" "White Rose, "
| "Hatchet, "Crown."
In addition to above list, there are many
brands sold with prize. 1t is safe to
reject all baking powders sold with prizs,
as the tests show they composed largely
of Alum and cost but a few cents per pound.
Also refuse any baking powder sold for
twenty-five cents a pound, or less; it is
sure to contain Alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness could
induce the public to experiment sith these
impure po Tders at the risk of health.
Aside from the question of the health or
wholesomeness of these condemned pow
ders, and viewed from the standpoint of
economy alone, pure cream of tartar bak-
ing powder, suoh as DR.. Bnswanger and
other high authorities report DR.. Prices
to be, and from its greater known strength
and unquestloned purity should prove moro
economical to the user in every way.

During the long wait for the excursio on
steamer on Monday evening unruly boys
had full sway at the landing, much to the
annoyance of civil people. They chased
about the unguarded wharf and nervous
persons were worked up with justiiable
fear that some of them would fall into the
river. To such persons it was matter OF
some satisfaction to witness the anxiety and
perturbation of fathers and mothers, who,
previous to the announcement that some
one had been drowned, had allowed their
children to run wild. Every mother who
did not have her child in hand was certain
it was her boy that was drowned.
