Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and nned heavily number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment Of New York seized . quantity
Of stun 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
Introduction into our markets Of In
furious substitutes In place Of whole
some baking powders.
Az alum costs only two cents 4
pound. there IL great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods. to use
It Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis. but the ordinary
housekeeper. whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health Of tho people IL i'm
portant. cannot make 4 chemical ex-
animation. She may easi,. know the
alum powders, however. from the fact
that they are sold at from ten 10
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 ~ an
inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
Importance Of this subject and con-
surers insist on having baking pow

ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the

refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound; II

have found that it Is the one true specific.

for indigestion. in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now"

fact, that this great remedy is made from
