A NEW SERUM.
Claim That It Will Show Tubercu-

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The Tribune"
says: A new serum, which it is claimed
will show the presence of tuberculosis
long before it would be possible by the
microscope, the X-ray or other meth
DDS now in use, has been invented by
DR.. A. r. Jenkins of this city.
He does not claim to have discovered
new cure, but that the use of the
serum aids competent physicians to de-
tect the presence of the disease in it's
earliest stages and in time to effect a
cure by good sanitation and plenty of
outdoor exercise. 1t shows whether or
not a case is true consumption, no mat
ter how early or light the attack

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform US that alum is
a poison, and that alum baking pow
ders should be avoided because they
make the food unwholesome. Promi-
nent hygienists. who have given the
matter most study, regard these pow
ders as an evil that should be suppress
ed by state action. In Minnesota and
Wisconsin alum powders are not per-
mitted to be sold unless they are
branded to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the District OF
Columbia the authorities have under
the direction of Congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use of alum
in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states,
as well as those of Minnesota and Wis
consin, entitled to warning of danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole coun-
try entitled to absolute protection, by
legislation which is entirely prohlb1-
tive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or
food commissions better serve the pub
lie than by publishing in the newspa-
pers from time to time the names of
the baking powders which they find to
be made from alum?.
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to
remember that all powders sold at
twenty-five cents or less per pound are
of this dangerous class. Pure cream
Of tartar powders are usually sold at
from forty-five to fifty cents pound.
