Eight years ago, says Commissioner
Wagner, of Missouri, there were in that
state 20 legally operating assessment life
associations, having in force %, 900 GER
tificates, for $50, 721, $50. OF this number
IL have either reorganized on the basis of
level-premium or have disappeared by re-
insuring; Q are in receivership; have
withdrawn from the state; one was. and
still is, operating there as '.fraternal;"
and one alone of the 26 is still in Missouri
as before. Many citizens of the state
have lost their insurance entirely, and
are now past the age limit or physically
impaired. Mr.. Wagner, therefore, de-
sires the repeal of all laws which recog-
nize or permit this method of business.
In Minnesota, the Commissioner thinks,
the time is near when not dollar of So
called insurance on that plan will be
written, for it has been almost entirely
wiped out. What else could possibly hap
pen, under the test of time, to a scheme
which attempts to pay out money without
providing adequate means for getting the

Judge Clarke, of st. Louis, has con-
yicted and fined heavily a number of gro
GERS for selling baking powders containing
alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a 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 taking
effective means to prevent the introduc-
ton into our markets of injurious SUBJ
stitutes in place of wholesome baking
powders.
As alum costs only two cents a pound,
there is a great temptation for those man
ufacturers who make substitutes and imi-
tation goods, to use it. Alum baking
powders can be detected by the health
authorities by chemical analysis, but the
ordinary housekeeper, whose assistance in
protecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make chemical exanin-
alton. 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
wooden ware-is given with the powder
as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
importance of this subject and consumers
insist on having baking powder of estab-
lished name and character, and as the
soS sor1+sx,x.n
crusades, the alum danger will, it is hoped,
finally be driven from our homes.
