Mr.. Pettigrew. Was there any tes-
timony which showed that there were
cases of injury to health as a result
Of constant use Of alum?
Mr. Mason. Yes; / can turn you to
the testimony.
Mr.. Pettigrew. do not care 10 have
the senator turn to It, / simply want
TO emphasize the point l agree with
the senator. IL has always been my
own impression that alum baking pow
der Is injurious. but / wanted to bring
it out and make It emphatic, IL the
proof sustains that position.
Mr.. Mason. i quite agree with the
senator. lt is claimed that there Is
not q country in Europe that does not
prohibit the use of alum. Certainly
three or four OF the leading countries
Of Europe 10 which / have had my at
tention called prohibit the use OF alum
in baking powder

Mr.. Pettigrew. Did the chemists who
came before the committee, these pro-
generally testlfy-was it the
result of their evidence-that the cream
)f tartar baking powder is healthy and
iocs not leave a residuum which is in
furious 10 health?
Mr. Mason. Yes; l say emphatically |
res; that the weight OF the evidence is
that whenever any of these dlstin-
guished men, who have national
'cputation the leading chemists of the
colleges. were interrogated upon the
,oint, they stated that fact, every one
If them. to my recollection.
