Imitation
Baking Powders

Many mixtures made in imitation of bak-
ing powders are offered to purchasers who
wish and ask for the genuine.
These limitations look like the genuine
powders, but when analysed are found to con-
tain alum, phosphate of lime or sulphuric acid.
Such harsh acids are used because they
are strong, as we'll as cheap, and utterly re-
CARELESS of the i'll effect they must have upon
the health when taken in food
Physicians inform us that dyspepsia heart
burn, sick headache, constipation and kindred
disorders follow the use of alum. Everybody
will agree that sulphuric acid which will corrode
iron, is not proper substance to give the
human stomach to digest.
Imitation powders cost but few cents
pound and are sold at twenty-five cents a pound
and less They are, however, dear at any price.

TRADE HINTS FROM OUR

ELECTRIC FANS AND SODA
WATER FOUNTAINS IN ENGLAND
Marshal Halstead, Consul at Biz
mingham, writes:
The heat wave in London has
created an opening for electric
fans. The DaiJ lIaik says that
London is the most backw ard Oi
all great capitals in provision for
meeting heat.
Although Suction" ventilating
fans, driven by electricity, are
quite well known, l have never
seen an electric fan Of the cooling
type in England. l wonder why
our manufacturer in this line
neglect their opportunity here.
The Mail adds:
But there is one American sum q
mer cooler that is at last getting a
ioothold here. Ice cream soda, the
most delicious and refreshing OF all
beverages, is making its way A
few weeks back, several soda ioun-
tains were placed in chemists
shops here. For time the London
public did not properly appreciate
them. A Holborn druggist at first
reported that his so'e patrons were
American passers.bY; but now he
can not manufacture the drink fast
enough to supply the demand
1t has been a surprise to me that
the soda-Water people have never
taken Great Britain in hand. A
chemist (druggist) told me the
other day he had some friends who
had lived in the United States and
even worked at soda fountains
there, and from their statements he
was very anxious to put in a soda
fountain. He had written TO firm
in London representing an Ameri-
can soda fountain manufacturer,
but it replied that the cheapest
fountain would cost 100 guineas
(SsIo.98), and intimated that
necessary accessories would be ex-
pensive. The matter was dropped.
If an enthusiastic salesman had
visited him the next day, had
offered good terms, had explained
the working details and promised
to be On hand the first week Of the
fountains operation, he would
have sold a fountain and the seed
sown would later have borne good
fruit.
Another chemist has asked me
for the address of a good soda
fountain manufacturer. These two
instances indicate the possibilities
in this branch OF trade.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness;
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused BY an inhamed con-
ditiou Of the mucous lining Of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is closed
entirely Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation IS taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
intiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness tcaused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S
