A MENACE TO HEALTH.
Boards of Health Trying to Get Rid of t
Alum Baking Powders.

Boards of Health Trying to Get Rid of the
Alum Baking Powders.
The accomplished Professor of Chemis-
try of Princeton University, Prof. H. 3.
Cornwall, in his report to the State Board
of Health says that alum baking powders
exert an injurious effect upon digestion.
Since this fact seems to him to be estab-
lished, he denounces the use of alum bak-
ing powders in the preparation OF food as
altogether Objectionable.
Professor Tucker, of the Albany N. y,
Medical College chemist to the New York
State Board of Health, claims that the
alum baking powders are decidedly inJur
ious as constituents of food articles "The
fact should never be lost sight of, he
saws, chat alum is employed in the man
ufacture of baking powder without regard
to its effects solely because 1t is cheap, and
since cream of tartar baking powders are
infinitely better and in all respects unob-
iectionable the use of alum is entirely
without excuse. This is a matter of i'm
portance to all, and especially to those
whose digestion is already enfeebled, as
in the case of dyspeptics, for with such
the use of alum preparations may give rise
to grave disorders.
Boards of health are recommending
legislation that will prohibit the manu-s
facture and sale of alum baking powdere
altogether. This has already been don't
in some sections of the country. AS
nresent the public must seek safety from
the danger, which seems to be so prevalent
in using only brands of powder that ar'
well known as pure and reliable, and re
fusing to buy the low priced, socallet
''cheap" goods. The baking powders con
tanning alum are sold at from ten to thirty
cents pound, while pure powder cost
| about forty five cents.

continue in force for two years instead of
one year, as heretofore. The rule reads
as follows:
An applicant for third grade county

any previous experience. Said applicant
shall be examined in photography, read
ing, penmanship, geography, arithmetic,
English grammar, elementary compost
ton, United States history, elementary
physiology and the theory and practice OF

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Republican campaign will open for
fair at the almshouse tomorrow.
]. Harry Barcklow, of Chester, and
Maurice Garwood, of Medford, are look
ing after the Democratic nomination for
Assembly.
Delegates to the state convention to
nominate Presidential electors were chosen
in Northampton township last evening, as
follows: First, district, A. S. L. Doughty;
second district, Edward s. Troth; third
district, Joseph S. Hume.
The Democrats are busy naming the
Republican ticket as usual. One of them
says our convention will name the follow
ing: Senator, Nathan Haines; Assembly,
J. Howard Burr and John G. Horner.
But even Democrats have been known to
be mistaken in this county.
The impression prevails too generally
that any means to secure point in poll
tics is fair But when one in high posi-
ton goes to the length of having men
working for their daily bread warned, 7"
cautioned" OF requested" it is time
that a reform movement should be inaug-
gurated.
After receiving visit from some OF the
combine in this county, Howard Burr, of
Pemberton announced his intention to be
candidate for the Assembly nomination
on the Republican ticket. Does this mean
that Howard proposes to relinqu1sh his
desire to be Surrogate or does he expect
to land both offices?
In conversation with a gentleman on
Wednesday evening, Charles b. Ballinger
stated that he would not accept the Dem
ocratic nomination for State Senator. He
said he would not take it three years ago
when there was chance to win and he
certainly did not care for it now with GER
tain defeat staring him in the face.
Assemblyman Wright, who has been
away for his health for the past four
weeks, returned to his home on Tuesday.
He had not heard anything about poll
tics while absent and was very much in
terested in some of the information given
him. Notwithstanding Charles apparent
ignorance he will probably be found to
be in the swim when the time arrives.
In the Presidential campaign of 1896, it
may be remembered, W. J. Bryan's cam
pa1gn was marked by some very loose
statements on financial matters. A good
many business men were, at times, almost
shocked to find Presidential candidate
airlly making assertions in defiance OF the
plain business records of the country
Possibly the admirers of the Nebraska
statesman have been hoping that In the
past four years he has had time to study
UP on such matters, but it must be con-
| fessed that there are no signs Of such i'm
provement as yet. In his latest "accep-
lance speech" he stated that "each month
of 1900 shows a larger total of failures
than the corresponding month OF 1899,
and on this basis he built up dismal
| structure of foreboding. The leading
trade journals, in their business reviews
for the first half of the present year,
stated that business failures for the six
months of 1900 have been the fewest re-
ported for similar period for eighteen
wears. Mr.. Bryan should cultivate ac-
curacy or else leave financial questions
alone. Boston Advertiser.

The features of the Second district
Democratic Congressional convention
which met in Atlantic City Saturday
were the slim attendance and the evident
good humor that prevailed. There were
only tifty-six delegates present out of a
total of 118 entitled to seats. They repre-
sented Atlantic, Burlington and Mercer
counties. Silence reigned when Ocean
county was called. The convention de-
cided to appoint one delegate for each
county present to represent Ocean in the
balloting.
The convention was called to order by
William Morgan, of Palmyra, as Frank
Allaire, of Trenton, chairman of the last
convention, was absent. A warm debate
ensued over the choice of a permanent
chairman, the committee submitting mi
nority and majority report. The majority
report favored Attorney John Stille, of
Atlantic City, and the minority William
Hannigan, of Mercer. It required two
hours debate to secure vote and then the
majority report was adopted.
These officers manned the convention:
Chairman, John Stille, Atlantic City;
Secretary, Herbert Shoffer, Princeton; as
sistant secretary, M. N. Elder, Burlington;
vice chairmen, Joseph Veal, Atlantic;
Frank T. MCGOWAN, Mercer; Judge For
syth, Burlington; Charles Rogers, Ocean
The call for nominees brought two be-
fore the convention. Mayor Richard d.
Horton, of Hightstown, Mercer county;
and Thomas j. Prickett, of Palmyra, Bur-
lington county. The ballot showed ma
iority for Prickett, but before it was an
nounced Mercer county withdrew the
name of Horton and the nomination of
Prickett was made unanimous.
The proceedings were delayed through
the persistent efforts of Jacob Seneff, dele
gate from the Third ward, Atlantic City,
to follow every motion with stump
speech, and for great part of the time he
kept the convention in an uproar OF ex-
element and laughter.
The platform adopted ignored free silver
except that it reaffirmed the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms.
Riverside was selected as the next meet
ing place
The absence of prominent Atlantic City
Democrats from the convention was con-
spicuous Postmaster Devine, Judge Jo-
seph Thompson, Judge Wilson Senseman,
Major 7. A. Byrnes and Attorney S. G.
Hinkle, although their offices were near
by, did not put in an appearance.

ompense was So. Of the IS people on the
grounds one-third went from Mount Holly
and out of % on the grand stand, %
hailed from this town. In addition to the
loss of cash, the reputation of Mount
Holly suffered as it was discovered that
the club which cannot beat Manayunk is
not thought to be fit to play ball.
Here is another of those foolish ques-
lions which the base ball editor of the
Burlington Gazette delights to ask: Now
that Florence is out of the League does
Burlington get the credit for the tie game
it played with that team on August 18th 7
If not, how does she get the opportunity
to catch Mount Holly, which is now the
leader in the league by reason of having
played one game more than Burlington.
Mount Holly has not played one more
game than Burlington. The tie game was
"played," was it not 1t was not lost, and
of course it was not won, hence it cannot
figure in making up the percentage, but it
counts as a game played, just the same,
There is nothing in the rules requiring tie
games to be repeated. When game is
played that is supposed to settle it.
The Burlington Enterprise says "The
people of Florence heartily indorse the
actions of Manager Gray in withdrawing
from the Burlington County League.
That is what Charlie Green should have
done when they robbed Florence of their
game with Riverside in order to put some
one else on top" Much depends upon who
is meant by ''the people of Florence" Ii
that remark includes the gang that at
tended the games of the Florence team,
yelled like Indians acted like rutfians,
mobbed the umpires, and threatened to
mob managers, it is all right. That gang
would applaud anything dirty or unsports-
manlike 1t is gang that would sanction
breaking any and all rules of the league
and hire or coax away players under con-
tract with other clubs. Charlie Green did
not withdraw his club because he knew
and acknowledged the decision was right.
He admitted acting wrong IN hlrlhS hllen'
'.The people of Florence" are no better
satisfied at the action of Baby Gray and
Grandma Gotham than are all who have
witnessed contests between other league
clubs and Florence and its tin-horn fol
lowers. Their decision to withdraw should
not have been allowed. They should
have been expelled and now they are ont

Riverside at Mount Holly.


MOUNT HOLLY 90, WHITE HILL o.
White Hill was the easiest proposition
Mount Holly has had to contend with this
season. The game was so one-sided that
all interest waned except that it should be
shut out. 1t was the largest score made
in the League this season.
The home team swatted the ball like
fiends. The hits to White Hills infelders
were terrific, almost disabling the team.
In the fatal sixth, when thirteen runs
were scored, fifteen batters faced Cottrel.
They made nine hits, drew three passes
and stole two bases, and three got safe at
first on errors.
Hammer failed to appear on time, so the
game opened with Logan on second, Dunn
at short, Quaker. Shinn in right and
Denness in left field. Hammer arrived
during the fourth inning, after which the
players resumed their usual positions.
During the FIRST inning the locals PLAYED
ragged ball, but, fortunately, no one
scored After that no more errors were
made by Mount Holly. Brown held the
visitors down to four singles.
Denness and Perkins batted like fiends,
the two making nine hits.
The feature of the game was White
Hills nerve in continuing after the thirteen
run inning, the score then standing 10
to O.
Cottrell retired from the box after the
seventh, during which he was hit on the
leg by dangerous hot liner from Perkins
bat Church finished the game.

quite record.
