Is 1t Malaria or Alum
popular Science Monthly

VI y
Languor, loss of appetite, Indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms of a physiological condition
termed malaria" All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect of
the use of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question about the
poisonous effect of alum upon the system.
1t obstructs digestion, prostrates the
nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the b.ocd
All this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health and food COM
missions. So "highly injurious to the
health of the community" does the emil
nent head of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, DIR. Barker, consider the alum bak-
ing 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 powder,
which is the only kind that should be
used, ought to cost about forty-fve to
fifty cents pound. Therefore, if you are
paying much less, something is wrong;
if you are paying twenty-five cents or less
per pound, the powder is certainly made
from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in mind
when purchasing baking powder.
