the publication Of the emphatic opinion.
from noted scientists that such powder
render the food unwholesone. hav,
caused numerous Inquiries for the names
Of the various alum powders.
The sale Of alum baking powders il
both Minnesota aud Wisconsin is iliega
unless the label upon the can has print
e1 upon it the statement that suci
powders contain alum. When the sam,
brands ar. sold il North e1d South De
kota. where the law does not requir,
them to be so marked. the alum warn.pi
is omitted, ard they are represented g.
pure cream OF tartar powders.
The following list Of baking powder
containing alum is made up from th,
official reports OF the Food Commission
ers Of Minnesota and Wisconsin. or from
the report Of the I. S. Agricultural de
partueut at Washington, or other equal
y reliable authority:

10 addition to these, many grocers
are selling what they call their own pri
vate or special brands. These powd, re-
are put up for the grocer, and his name
put upon the labels By manufacturers OF
alum powders in st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Chicago, st. Louis and elsewhere. The
manufacturers, it is said, find their Of.
forts to market their goods ia this way
greatly aided by the ambition OF the
grocer to cell Q powder With bis own
name upon the label. especially as be can
make az abnormal profit upon it. Many
Of these special brands are not labeled
as the law requires and are sold as cream
OF tartar powders.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names Of all the alum baking powders ia
the market. They are constantly .sp-
pesr,ng under all kinds Of coeuomens.
and are sold at all kinds Of prices, many
as low as five and ten cents a pound.
They can be avoided, however, By the
who will bear ia mind that
aIl baking powders sod at twenty-five
cents or iess per pound, whether marked
as alum powders or not, are liable TO con.
am alum. as pure cream OF tartar DOW.
aefs cannot be produced at anything
like this price.

Ole Of the district school trustees
was crank on the subject Of fire.
and when he called round with the ex-
aiming board he always confined his
remarks to g question addressed TO the
pupils as TO what they would do in
case the building should catch fire-
The teacher was acquainted with his
hobby, so she prompted her scholars
as to the answers they should give
when he rose to PROFOUND his accus-
toned inquiry. When the board called.
however. this particular trustee, per-
haps from desire to emulate his as
sociates in their addresses, rose and
said:
You boys and girls have paid such
attention to Mr.. Jones remarks,

were to make you little speech?"

piped in unison:

Loving Cum.

Naturally some of the ancient city
customs are connected with the art OF
dining. Gastronomy and the Guildhal
are inseparably associated. One Of the
most curious of these is the passing
of the loving cup, which takes. place at
all the guild dinners as well as st the
banquets Of the corporation. The cup
is two handled one with lid. While
one guest is holding the. lid the next
sips the spiced wine. A third, on the
other side of the drinker. stands up.
Then. the brin having been wiped by
a clean napkin, the cup is passed to the
guest holding the lid He drinks in his
turn, while his next neighbor takes
charge OF the lid. In this way the cup
makes the rou2d Of the table.
This custom dates from Anglo-Saxon
times. TIE holding of the lid was not
then an act merely OF courtesy, for tho
guest who held it was thus prevented
from drawing his dagger and stabbing
the drinker, a playful after dinner
practice not uncommon in those times.
Meanwhile the guest who was stand
ing guarded the drtnker from an as
sout from behiSd.- food Words.
