Condemned in Missouri and Confiscat-
ed in New York.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con
victed and fined number of grocers
for selling baking powders containing
alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment 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 OF injur-
ious substitutes in place of wholesome
baking powders,
AS alum costs only two cents
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis. but the ordinary housekeep
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important can
not make chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum pow
ders. however. from the fact that they
are sold at from ten to twenty cents
for pound can or that some prize
like spoon, or glass, or piece of
crockery, or wooden ware-is given
with the powder as an inducement.
AS the peoeple continue to realize
the Importance of this subject and
consumers insist on having baking
powder of established name and
character and as the health authori-
ties continue their vigorous crusades,
the alum danger will. it is hoped, fin
ally be driven from our homes
