A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Use OF Arsenic or Alum
In All Articles of Diet.

The law enacted by the Missouri leg
stature a copy Of which was recently pub
lished in our columns, and which prohib.
its the manufacture or sale OF any article
intended for 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 10 the sale Of alum
baking powders has also been effected. In
several OF these states their sale Ia 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. Jiousekeepers and
grocers should cut the list out and keep

present reretmen intaci. That agony
win be prolonged, and in the long run
much more money will have TO be ex-
pended, many people ruined, and the
results obtained will not be near as
satisfactory as will be obtained from
The extension of the revetmeht.
Still another consideration, is the
fac, that many of the ablest engineers
are OF the opinion that The navigation
Of the river is benefited by lines OF
leyee close to the bank, and is injured
by leyees several miles from the river
bank. If the short line is adopted an
immense territory will be thrown out,
aud the levee will be many miles from
the river and at a point only short
distance above The shallow Providence
bar, which formerly cost so much
damage TO navigation. OF course. l
do not venture any opinion OH this
subject, but il is worth considering
along with many others which favor
the extension of the revetment.
The act creating the Mississippi
River Commission, treats among other
things, that you should prepare "sucb
plans and estimates "a will correctly
and permansly locate aud deepen the
channel and protect the banks of the
Mississippi river, ETC., etc." BY extend
ing the revelment you correctly and
permanently locate and protect the bank
of the river at the point in controversy
and carry out the purpose for which
you were created. By failing TO do
this, aud allowing the short line to be
built, you establish new and arbitra-
~ bauk many miles distant from the
natural bank and channel. Among
part of your duty is"io prevent destruc-
tive floods" and incidentally, of course,
to build leyees. Your duty then, is to
protect all these dwellers from des-
truction and, if Instead of protecting
them, you permit such line of levee
to be built as will destroy and ruin
such large number of people and
such valuable property you will in my
opinion be doing violence 10 both the
letter and spirit of the law which cre-
ated you. Such a course of conduct
would be so utterly at variance with
the generous and successful methods
which have ever governed your Hon.
orable Body that | repel it without
consideration, firmly convinced that
the interest of our people is safe in
your hands, and that our much de-
sired reveiment win be extended.
