A Story of the Bate HeId of Chick

On stormy night in November about
the year 1925 an emigrant from North
Carolina on his way to Tennessee camped
at an Indian village in North Georgia
near where the famous battle of Chicka-
manga was fought in 1868, on the ground
now constituting the Chickamauga- Chat.
tanooga National Military Park.
In this emigrant's family was girl Just
approaching womanhood. During the
night this girl was attacked with violent
pains. An old squaw saw the girls suf-
fering, detected the cause, retired to her
wigwam and selecting some herbs made
tea which was given to the sufferer.
Relief from pain followed and the girls
menses appeared for the first time. The
grateful mother of the girl begged of the
squaw quantity of the herbs, and among
them found some seeds which she planted
at her new home in Tennessee. These
herbs were raised by this family and their
descendants from year to year for several
generations and gained a local reputation
as cure for menstrual arrangements of
women.
In the year 1850 the Chattanooga Med
icine CO., manufacturers of Thedford's
Black-Draught, the great remedy for
liver, stomach, bowel and kidney diseases.
secured control of the herbs that had de-
scended from stock procured from the
sluaw and commenced the manufacture
from them of what is now known as
McElree's Wine of Cardui. This pure
Vegetable wine now has worldwide
reputation and has proved to be almost
a specific in the cure of all diseases
peculiar to woven. Itissold extensively
in every state and territory of the Union
and in some foreign countries and is
enthusiastically endorsed by leading ply
sicians, prominent druggists and chem
lists, and thousands of the best women of
America.

The Alum Baklng Powders.

The discussion in the newspapers of the
effect upon the human system of food
made with alum baking powders and the
publication of opinions from noted scien.
fists that such powders render the food
unwholesome have caused numerous in
quiries for the names of the various alum
powders.
The chemists of the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station, w. A.
Withers and ]. A. Bizzell, have recently
collected and analysed the baking
powders sold in North Carolina, and the
result of their work Is given in Bulletin
No. 1855 recently published by the Expert,
ment Station at Raleigh for general In.
formation.
The following list of powders contain.
ing alum are from this report of the Chief
Chemist of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture at Washington, or from other
reliable authority:

Grant Chemical Co., Chicago.
Patapsco Baking Powder Co, baltimore. ore
In addition to these, it is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands.
These powders are put up for the grocer
and his name put upon the labels by
manufacturers of alum powders in Rich
mond, Baltimore, Cincinnati and else
where. The manufacturers, it is said,
find :heir efforts to market their goods in
this way greatly aided by the ambition of
the grocer to sell powder with his own
name ubon the label. especially when the
grocers can make an abnormal profit up
on it. Many grocers doubtless do not
know that the powders they are thus
pushing are alum powders which would
be actually contraband in many sections
if sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the names
of all the alum baking powders in the
market. They are constantly appearing
in all sorts of disguises. under all kinds
of cognomens, and at all kinds of prices,
even as Iowa FIVE and ten cents pound.
They can be avoided, however, by the
housekeeper who will bear in mind that
all baking powders sold at twenty-five
cents or less per pound are liable to con
tain alum, as pure cream of tartar baking
powders cannot be produced at anything
like this price.
