TIE reported cases Of poisoning
from the use Of alum baking powder
have awakened the public 10 the seri-
Gus danger which menaces the health
OF the people Of the country in the
numerous alum powders which are
urged upon consumers.
Generally, alum powders NAV be
known from the price at which they
are sold, or from the fact that they
are accompanied by a gift, or are dis
posed OF under some scheme. The
alum powder costs hut few cents per
pound to make, and is often sold at 20
or 70 cents a pound; and sometimes
Is low as 10 cents.
1t il impossible to name all the
alum powders in the market, but any
baking powder sold at low price. or
advertised as costing much less than
the well known, high class powders
or accompanied by 3 present, or dis
posed of under any scheme, is of this
class, DETRIMENTAL to health and to
be avoided.
These facts should incline consum-
ers to turn deaf ear to all imp0rtu-
mites 70 bny the inferior powders.
The wise hOusekeeper will decline ii
all cases 70 take them.

@Neither Great Britain, France nor Rus

no doubt that Mr.. Kruger, who Is 80

the good Offices Of several Of the powers
to end the war, but there il also no doubt
that Great Britain does not want their
good Offices.
AT least it Is true that. since tbs
South Ahican MAR began, Great Britain
has never, either verbally or in writing,
confdentially or officially, preached such
an idea. 1t Is quite possible that the Beer
