How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

The health department of New York
has seized quantity of so.called cheap
baking powder which it found in that
city. Attention was called to it by the
low price at which it was being sold in
the department stores. Samples were
taken and the chemist of the health de-
partment reported the stuff to be ssan
alum POWDER" which analysis showed
to be composed chiefly of alum and pull
verified rock
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the ofal dock
and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called "cheap" articles of food. They
are sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other Injurious matter. In baking pow.

Spring Fever.

Spring Fever.
Same old thing
Comes every spring.
It's late this year,
But IT'S here
Just the same.
Same weary frame.
Brain fag,
Legs that lag;
Don't want to walk,
Don't even want to talk.
Hate to work,
Would soon shirk.
No aching bones,
No groans,
But just alfred
Tired.
Want to loaf around
Where work can't be found,
Where there's nothing to do
But sit and view
The scenery,
The greenery,
And all the things that are springs.
Want to be out somewhere
In the open air,
And hear the birds sing
As they swing
On twigs that osclllate
Beneath their weight.
Often wish
For chance to fish,
If stream could be found
Without covering much ground.
For it isn't hard to bait
A hook, and then just wait
For the fish to bite;
Even if they don't it's all right,
Because there'd be nothing to lug
Back home but the pole and Jug.
Don't have to go
TO doctor in order to know
What has gone astray
When fellow feels this way.
It's the spring fever sure,
And the only cure
Is to loaf to-day,
And the coming day,
And every other day,
| Till it goes away.
