The meals must be regularly taken,
aud eating aud drinking must not go to

is as follows: For breakfast aud supper
he takes one baked apple, one banana,
one orange, twenty grapes and biscuit
made from banana -four with butter.
His midday meal consists Of three ounces

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD

- Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health
OF the people of this country in the nu-
mcrous alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon tho public.
There is no question as to the detri..
mental effect of these powders upon tho
system. Every Board of Health, eyery
physician, will tell you OF the unwholo.
some qualities they add to the food.
Some countries have absolutely pro-
hibitcd 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, aud
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use OF food
prepared with the alum or alum. .phos.
phatc powders, arc familiar in the prac--
ticc of every physician.
1t is not possible that any pruden.
housewife, any loving mother, will

will injurc the health Of her household.
or perhaps cause the death Of her chill.
,lrcu.
How snail the dangerous alum powders
be distinguished Aud how shall tho
danger to health from their uso bo
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are sold,
or from the fact that they arc accom-
panied by q gift, arc disposed of uudcr
some scheme. The alum powder costs
nut few cents pound to make, and is
often sold at'20aor 25 cents pound
- -h-Sa,>>--IS--~...t~;,- Ii -t,i-------:.i.
price may bc 80, 40 or so cents pound.
1t is impossible to name a'l tho alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or advcr.
.tizcd rs costing only half as much as
cream of tartar powders, accompanied by
present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is Of this class, detrimental to
health, and to bc avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain protcc.
tion of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger of unwholesomcucss is in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because OF the
innumcrabe reports in its favor By high
medical authorities, by tho U. s. Gov.
crnmcnt, and by the official chemists and
Boards Of Health, which leave no doubt
us TO its entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, its absolute purity aud
wholcsomcness. While its 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 aud fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with i'm
munity 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 tc
turn deaf car to all opportunities tc
buy the inferior powder. If grocer
urges the sale Of the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be borne in mind that i
is because he can make more profit OF
them. The wise housekeepcr will declin,
IN all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using doubt.
