A Curious Baking Powder.

The report of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural Experimental Station makes
the following comment in reference t.
an alum baking powder which is seek
ing customers in this vicinity. 1t says:
A particularly reprehensible adutera-
ton, because very likely to prove inju-
rious to health, is that practiced by the
Southern Soda Works, Nashville, Tenn,
manufacturers of Sweetheart One Spoon
Baking Powder. This preparation con
tains more th-n twenty five per cent Of
ground rock, insouble in strong acids
and consisting chiefly of siicates and
magnesia. Prof. Penfeld, of Yale Uni
versity, examined this material and
found it to be mixture of pulverized
tale and tremolite, species of horn
blende, The tremolite appears under
the microscope in sharp, neede-like
splinters, which make it dangerous
admixture in food.
