ALUM, FLINT AND SULPHURIC
ACID

It is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article is
a genuine baking powder and has all
cheap" goods are made from alum or
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their
food. Alum powders are almost al
ways low priced. But they are well
known to be detrimental to health.
In England and in some sections OF
this country their sale is prohibited
by law. Congress has forbidden the
sale OF food containing alum In the
District of Columbia. The highest
authorities condemn their use. DR..
S. w. johnson, for instance, Professor
OF Chemistry at Yale college, says:
Bread made with a baking powder
containing alum must yield a soluble
alumina salt with the gastric juice,
and must, therefore, act as a poison"
It is well known that these so-called
"cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One OF
them was recently analysed at Yale
college and found to be onequarter
sharp pointed grains OF ground flint
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
aho salts of lead are also found In
them.
In baking powders be sure to get
reputable well-known cream OF tartar
brand, and never buy from pedjlers.

nerve is affected. Unfortunately

some of these politically unso-

after another sort of game. Dis
charge and threat of discharge
from employment stared in the
face their employees who could not
see virtue in that biggest steal on
record-the adoption of the gold

had rehabilitated them with the

them and negro domination, in

1T makes me smile to hear some
of these Honest Money g%rafters
denouncing the "boodlers." Both
classes are reached through the
pocket-nerve. One publicly de-
spoils his fellow-citizens through
law, in the name of "fnance,"
while the other does his work
secretly in defiance of law. For
the life of me, l can see no moral
difference between them. One has
transactions involving millions;
the other nestles down in the hun
dreds. 1t all reminds me very
much of Shakespeare differentia-
ton of the elements that make an
army-"That which in the officer
is but choler, in the soldier is rank
blasphemy"-or something to that
effect.
