How Cheap Baking Powder j.
Made.

The health department of New York
has seized a quantity Of so-called cheap
baking powder, which it found in that
city. Attention was attracted to it by
the low price at which 1t was being
sold at the department stores. Samples
were taken and the chemist of the
Health Department reported the stuff
to be ian alum POWDER which analy-
sis showed to be composed chiefly of
alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal 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 powders, the high class, cream of
tartar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

AFTER The NUlSANCES.
The Board of Health Finds Awful
Condition in Some Places
Where We Would Expect the Great
est Cleanliness.

The Board of Health, last week,
found places in their travels that would
astonish the average citizen. Sinks
under houses, reeking with foul smells
COWS kept in half starved condition in
filthy quarters, and their milk peddled
out to our citizens; rags that had been
stored in barns for two years, and
stenches arising from filthy priv
les that turned the stomach of one of
the Board till he lost all his breakfast.
The parties who maintain all these
nuisances were ordered to abate them
within seven days, or be arrested.
The stories the Board report, are
awful, aud we would say to them, about
using vigorous measures, as Grant said
to Sheridan, Push things!"
