the history Of his island home and he
is a constant reader of books, mostly

1000 years have raised and maintained
an ideal Of national literature OF merit.

lMpuaE BAKING powptR stIztp

The New York board of Health Find IL
Contains Alum and Rock. Declare IL
Dangerous 10 Health and Dump
It Into the River.
The New York papers report that
the Health Department OF that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More Of the powder was found In a
sixth ave. department store. The re-
vport of the analysis of the Health
Department stated that 1t was "an
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways Of re-
pressing the sale OF bad baking pow
ders. in England they have prosecut-
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder Is
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stun
and cast 1t into The river without any
discussion The latter way is certain
ly effective.
J The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at a low price, ten to
twenty cents a pound, or with some
prize, as temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name and
reputation. DO not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as Just
Hs good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS maxi
ers, and is selling an alum powder
without knowing 1t.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the horsekeeper Insist
on having what she knows is right,
and not he induced to risk the life OF
the family for an imaginary saving Of
few cents.
