New York they seize the unwholesome
stuff and cast it into the river, without
any discussion. The latter way is Ger

offered at low price, ten to twenty cents
pound, or with some prize. as tempta-
ton to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves by
buying only high. grade baking powder OF
established name and reputation. Do not

induced to risk the life of the family fol-
