A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Use OF Arsenic or Alum
I'm All Articles OF Diet.

The law enacted by the Missouri leg
islature, copy Of which was recently pub
lished in our columns, and which prohib-
its the manufacture or sale of any article
intended for food. or to be used in pre-
paration of food. which contains alum,
arsenic, ammonia, etc, places that state
in the lead in the matter OF sanitary leg
islation.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England, Ger
many and France for many years. In this
country, in Minnesota, Wisconsin, 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 pro
hibited unless they are branded to show
that they contain alum, and in the Dis
trict of Columbia, under the laws of con-
gress, 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 recent anal
ysis to contain alum. Housekeepers and
grocers should cut the list out and keep
it for reference;
