discharge of their duties
The supper that was spread in the lodge
room was bountiful and in variety of good
things for the inner man put to shame many
a more preteniious and more formal banquet.
Good cheer and good fellowship graced the
OCCASION, and the visitors were made to feel as
welcome and as much at home as if they we're
regular attendants atSpring Hill. All things
considered the evening Was q pleasant and
auapicious occasion. Sprisg Hill Lodge has

CONCERNS OUR DAILY FooD.
Prof. Mallett Believes There is
Serious Danger in the Alum
Baking Powder.

The increased cost of cream of tartar, the
chief iogredieat OF pure baking powder,
has induced some manufacturers to substitute
burnt alum (which costs but three cents a
pound} largely or wholly in lieu thereof,
mal,ing very low cost, but unwholesome
baking powder; and efforts are made to sell
these ipferier powders by the .inducemeot OF
a lower price, and by false representation as
to their ingredients and comparative value
Our most eminent physicians are continu-
ously warning the public against the use OF
alum baking powders, because Of the no
wholesome qualities which they inpart to the
food. DR.. J. ". Maliet, Prof of Chemistry
at the University of Virgins, scientist OF
the very highest reputation both in this
country and abroad, who has made an elabo-
rate and exhaustive investigation of the
subject, eays: sI am decidedly of opinion
that both the substance (alum) itself and the
products TO which it gives rise in course of
making bread, ateinjurious TO health, and on
that account fall ioto the list of such food
accessories as should on sanitary grounds be
prohibited by law
When .an authority 80 we'll known and
highly respected as DR.. Aallet makes this
statement, it behooves every housewife to take
every means in her power iosnre her family
against the use of these dangerous goods.
1t would be gate impossible TO give the
names of the alum baking powders 10 the
market, bnt the danger from alum would
seem to be serious and alarming, because of
their prominence 10 almost every. groces's
STOCK. Generally speaking, they are sold at
q lower price, Sometimes, because of their
tendency to cake and spoil, they are put up in
bottles. Under the ci,cnmsnances and as q
matter Of safeiy. Prof. Aallet foyors the use
Of the we'll known brand Of baking powder,
Royal. which his tests have shown, be says,
to be made from the.most healthful materials,
sntire!y free from alnm and every adoltera-
tion.

county to investigate the case and he
prouounces it genuine case of small

Dr. Evans has received letter from
Dr.. Lowman of Oraugeburg who says.
that there are four cases of chicken
pox which originated at the college.
One of the cases was that Of room
mate Of the Beaufort student. DR..
Jeffords of Oraneeburg agrees With
Dr.. Lowman's diagnosis, but DIR.
Evans thinks that as the Beaufort case
is undoubtedly smallpox that it would
be best for Dr. Stewart to 60 there aud

doctor is an expert on the disease. hay-
