There is a saying come across my
thoughts here, Stones are followed by
constant drops of water" The words
were spoken, as perhaps you know, by
Ovid, some two thousand years ago;
and so the merchant who would make
progression, may on the stony public
fix impression, by dropping constantly
upon its eye little printers ink; nor
let it dry before he's ready with an
other dash, for in its use he cannot be
too brash. Try an advertisement in the

IS 1T MALARIA OR ALUM?

Languor, loss of appetite, indiges-

common symptoms of a physiological
condition termed malaria" All
these symptoms may be and fire.
quently are the effect of the use of
alum baking powders in food making.
There is no question about the pois-
onous effect of alum upon the system.
1t obstructs digestion, prostrates the
nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the
blood. All this has been made clear,
thanks to physicians, boards of health
and food commissions. So "highly
injurious to the health of the COM
munity'' does the eminent head of
the University OF Pennsylvania, DIR.
Barker, consider the alum baking
powders. that he says their sale
should be prohibited by law
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife
to employ the very little care that is
necessary TO keep so dangerous an
element from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that
should be used, ought to cost from 10
cents to 80 cents pound. Therefore,
if you are paying much less, some
thing is wrong; if you are paying 25
cents or less per pound, the powder
is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking pow
der.
