Condemned in Missouri and Confiscat
ed in New York.

Judge Clarke. of St. Louis. has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the health depart
nlent of New York seized quantity OF
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped it into the river.
The health authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into Our markets injurious
substitutes in place of wholesome
baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound. there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make substl-
tutes and imitation goods. to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis. hut the ordinary housekeeper.
whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, can
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders
however. from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for a
pound can. or that some priZe-like a
spoon. or glass. or piece of crockery,
or woodenware-it given with the
powder as an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize The
importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der of established name and character,
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum dan
ger will. it is hoped, finally be driven
from our homes.
