An Evil in Food the Law Should
Reach.

In reference to the use of alum baking
powders Prof. Schweitzer, of the State
University of Missouri. says: THE dele
terious effects OF alum and the soluble
salts of alumina upon the human sys-
TEN, even when used in small quantities,
are too well known to mead relating;
their use in baking powder is danger
Gus, and should be restricted"
The effects of the continuous use OF
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in medical publication
Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food
1T is an irritant which intiames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal
canal.
1T is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which intsrferes with
digestion
TT renders the a1bumen of the food
partially insoluble, and thet efore takes
away from its nutritive value
1T is absorbed into the blood, which
it tends to thicken and coasulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
gans of the heart is thus retarded.
Its continued absorption into the sys-
tenn causes some forms of nervous pros
the nerves from which both women and
men suffer.
Fourteen grains OF alum have caused
the death Of a child. Larger doses have
frequently resulted fatally in the case
of adults.
mo drug SO powerful and deadly, no
matter in what proportions 1t may be
employed, can safely be used in any ar
tfcle of food"

Beginning with general view of Italy
OF today, the professor conducted his
audience through the modern Rome and
far back into her tWenty-six hundred
years Of history
He brought out in clear distinct Eng
lish, the wonderful history Of the colos-
sal ruins, for which the present enter
prising government is spending many
thousands in the purchase of valuable
property built over the site of the
ancient city that lies twenty-five or
thirty feet below the surface.
These modern excavations have en-
abled the archeologist pictorially to re-
construct the original city in all its
