with the exorbitant increase in its price,
has stimulated the operation of the
dredgerS who have heretofore taken
small quantities of that fuel, chilly for
private use, from the streams that have
carried it as drift from the anthracite
regions. for which there is now a lively
and profitable public demand.

BAD BAKING POWDER SEIZED

II 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 otfal
scow to be destroyed. More Of the pow
der was found ia a 9th avenue depart
ment store. The report Of the analysis
OF the hsath department stated that it
was "an alum baking powder" contain
ing alum and pulverized rock.
The different health authorities seem
to have different ways OF repressing the
sale OF bad baking powders. In Eng
land they have prosecuted the grocers
under the general law aud broken up the
traffic. In Missouri the eale OF alum
baking powder is actually prohibited by
law In New York they seize the un-
wholescme stuff and cast it into the riv-
or, without auy discussion. The latter
way s certainly effective.
The alum baking powders are usually
offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents pound, or with some prize as a
temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves by
buying only high grade baking powder
Of established name and reputation
Do not bs tempted by the grocer to take
something else as "just as good" or "oul
