POISONED BY ALU1.
A Warning to Users of Cheap Baking
Powders.

The cases Of alum baking powder
poisoning reported in the newspapers
are sufficiently numerous to warn
consumers against the use of the over
and over again condemned alum pow
der. The Logansport, Ind. Times
gives another:
"Dr. Souder was summoned by
telegraph last Sunday night to attend
the family of Braden Harper, living
southwest of Logansport. Four Of
the family were poisoned from eating
dumplings. The father and one
child, who had not partaken of the
dumplings, were well, while the
mother and three children were in a
serious condition, 1t is proba BILE that
had not vomiting ensued. emptying
the stomach. the four would have
died from the effects. 1t is supposed
the poison was caused from the bak
ing powder used in making the
dumplings. The wife probably added
larger quantity than she Usually
did, which in the greater quantity
proved a noXiOuS poison. The baking
powder used was branded the
manufactured by the ! X
This should be warning in using
cheap baking powders, which flood
the country. People buy them be-
cause they are cheap, and the mer-
chant buys them because he can sell
them for profit. In many stores
one cannot purchase standard brand.
You have to purchase the cheap stuff
or do without. We are OF the opinion
that most Of the prize baking powders
belong to this class"
In vi ew of these repeated instances
of alum poisoning it would hardly
seem necessary to caution the public
against the use of baking powders
which are put in the houses as sam
pies, or offered by grocers simply be-
cause they are cheaper than well
known high class brands. Burnt alum
or phosphate acid we are assured
will be found in nearly every brand
selling from 20 to 80 cents, whereas a
first class powder is usually sold in
stores for about As cents per pound.
Some Of the powders that are peddled
from house to house at thirty cents
per pound are said to be made of
alum, although misleading notices
are printed on their labels affecting
the public to believe that they are

creamery. L. r. Hobart has been an.
pointed postmaster. The office will
doubtless be in operation as soon as
the postmaster's bond is approved
and he receives his commission and
the supplies for the office. This will
be great accommodation to the
people in that neighborhood, and we
understand that from sixty to eighty
families will be served by this office.
the majority of whom are now some
six or seven miles from any postofice.
1t is not yet known whether the mail
service there will be daily or tri-
weekly. Mr.. Hobart, who was in the
city Saturday evening, informs us
that store will be opened at the
creamery in few days by a party
from Eagle Lake.

HOG CHOLERA, AGAIN.

We are informed that hog cholera
has made it's appearance near St..
Clair. The breaking out of the
disease this year was expected, but it
has made it's appearance somewhat
earlier than was anticipated. The
disease will undoubtedly have wide
sweep this summer, and the farmers
in the affected districts will be forced
to go out of the hog raising business
for time. Every precaution should
be adopted to limit the spread of the
disease.
