legislature, copy OF which was re
Gently published in our columns, and
which prohibits the manufacture or
sale of any article intended for food or
to be used in the preparation of food,
which contains alum. arsenic, ammo
mia, etc, places that state in the lead
in the matter of sanitary legislation.
Laws restricting the use of alum III
bread have been in force IN England,
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and
several other states, direct legislation
in reference to the sale of alum baking
powders has also been effected. In
several OF these states their sale is
prohibited unless they are branded TO
show that they contain alum, and IN
the District OF Columbia, under the
laws of Congress, the sale Of bread
containing alum has been made illegal.
Following are the names OF some OF
the brands of baking powder sold in
this vicinity which are shown by re-

Intervention of Florida avenue nearly
three-quarters of a mile away. The con-
slant fnsistence upon the policy of extend
ing the trunk lines in preference to the In
terjection of suburban lines, while perhaps
temporarily productive of Inconvenience,
eventually means the esta abishment of an
ideal system, with a maximum of conve-
nience to the patrons of the roads and a
minimum of congestion in the thorough
fares traversed. Already suggestions of
corporation absorbing corporation are in
the air and recent movements in the local
stock market are taken to indicate that op-
erations of this kind are near accomplish
ment. The rapid harmonizing of the mech
anism of the various systems means that
whether the roads are to be consolidated
or are to remain as separate corporations
the city will enjoy a consistent rapid tran
Sit equipment which with certain extern
sions and improvements will result in the
firm establishment of this city's fame as
the best provided with street car facilities
