evidence of the cowardly warfare be-

who secured the position he so greatly
desired and WIS SO poorly qualified to

treats all the absurd charges made by

ment and thinker. He is too much

of his Office to be attending to other

Protect our Food.

The doctors inform US that alum is
poison, and that alum baking pow.
ders should be avoided because they
make the food unwholesome. Prorni-
nent hygienists, who have given the
matter most study, regard these pow
ders as an evil that should be sup
pressed by state action. In Minnesota
and Wisconsin alum powders are not
permitted to be sold unless they are
branded to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the District
OF Columbia the authorities have un-
der the direction of Congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use of alum
IN bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states,
as we'll as those of Minnesota and
Wisconsin, entitled to warming of
danger which is apparently menacing
them close at hand, and is not the
whole country entitled to absolute
protectlon, as the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia are protected, by
legislation which is entirely prohibi
tive.
Until we can have protection in the
form of a statute, how can orr state
boards of health, state analysts or
food commissions better servo the
public than by Publishing in the news
papers from time to time the names
of the baking powders which they
find to contain alum.
Meantime it will aid the housewife
in designating the aium 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 Ave to fifty cents pound.
