ALUM BAKING POWDER.
Declared by the Court to be I'm
wholesome, and its Sale in Vio-
lation of the Pure Food
Laws,

A case in the courts Of Davenport the
other day appears to have fixed the
status of the alum baking powder as an
illicit article Of trade in the state of
Iowa.
1t seems that the Pure Food Co., of
Chicago, sold to firm OF grocers in
Davenport quantity of baking powder
called "Pure Food Baking Powder. /"
The grocers sold some of it, ascertained
that it was an alum powder, returned
the powder unsold to the manufacturers
and refused to pay for it. The manu-
facturers sned to collect.
The case was tried before Judge Boil
llnger and jury. Attorneys Neal &
Neal, and S. A. Finger defended the
grocers. 1t was shown that the powder
contained alum. The defense claimed
consequently, that it was injurious to
health and that traffic in it was against
public policy. Expert testimony was
introduced to show that alum when
taken into the stomach would influence
the gastric juices to the detriment Of the
person using 1t.
The jury rendered verdict for the
defendants, which means that alum
baking powders are deleterious to health,
their sale illegal in the state. The pure
food laws of the state are, upheld.

OF Interest to Poultry Raisers

a
This article, if carefully read, will al
ways be found useful, not only for poul-
try but for mankind and for stock, for
ali the recipes are tried ones and will do
all they claim to do. The poultry Of
the present day has been bred up to the
highest state of perfection but the peo-
pie must realize that natures supply
for poultry on our old settled farms has
been exhausted so it will behoove US in
the future to supply that want by arti-
fetal means. The trouble is that too
many fail to study the wants of the hen
as they should. The fact is, they think
if she can run to the feed yards after the
stock and get plenty of feed she would
lay eggs. This is a mistake. She must
have all the different materials to build
the different parts Of an egg or she can
not lay it; but it is common to feed for
fat alone and wonder why she does not
lay. Now every time hen mouths she
forms a new egg bag for the next sea-
sons laying. 1t is very necessary for
her to have the materials to help her
make the feathers, the iron to make the
blood that helps her to fill the egg bag
with the small velks. If she can not do
this she will be almost an entirely bar.
rem hen.
We want to say to all those who raise
poultry for profit and food that
Thatcher's up.to,date Poultry Remedy
and Egg Powder supplies just what the
hen wants to help her complete the
eggs. Remember hen can not lay an
egg unless she can complete all the. diff
ferent parts of it. Try this remedy. 1t
is good for health for all kinds of young
poultry but not cure all. We want to
say that we give you book of recipes
for the poultry yard with every trial
package that is invaluable to any one
interested in poultry. 1t will give you
recipes for every disease that poultry
has and for mites and lice with direc.
tons how to feed and handle young
poultry, and it is a ready reference that
should be in the hands of every person
interested in the poultry yard for it will
tell you about all the common breeds
Of poultry and how to know when you
have good or not a good bird. We
| want to say in conclusion: Give our
remedy trial; that is all we ask, for we
know if you try it according to direc-
tons you will not do without it. We
will give one testimonial. We have

if it is given according to directions.
