CHAPTER XIII.
THE HEART OF A VILLAIN.

Mcleod had developed into a man of
undOubted power. He was but thirty-two
years Old and the dictator of his party
in the State.
He had the fighting temperament which
Southern people demand in their leaders.
With this temperament he combined the
skill of subtle diplomatic tact. He had
no moral scruples of any kind. The prob
lem of expediency alone interested him in
ethics.
McLeod's pet aversion was a preacher,
especially a Baptist or a Methodist. His
choicest Oaths he reserved for them. He
made a study of their weaknesses, and
could tell dozens of stories to their dis
credit, many of them true. He had an
instinct for finding their weak spots and
holding them up to ridicule. He bought
every book Of militant ilfidelity he could

Condemned in Missouri and ConRscated il

New York
Judge Clark Of st. Louis has convicted
and fined heavilya number Of grOcers for
selling baking powders containing alum.
The week before the health department
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 sub
stitutes in place Of wholesome baking
powders.
As alum costs only two cents a pound
there is a great temptation for those
manufacturers who make substit utes
and imitation 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 important, cannot make a
chemical examination. She may easily
know the alum powders, however, from
the fact that they are sold at from 10 to
% cents for a pound can. or that some
prize-lize a spoon, OF glass. or piece Of
crockerY, or wOodenEare-is given with
the powder as an fnducement.
As the people CONTINUE to realize the
importance Of this subject and consum-
ers insist on having baking powder Of
established name and character, and az
the health authorities continue their Wig
/ orous crusades. the alum danger viii It Is
I hoped finally be driven from our homes
