Alum, Flint and SuIphuric Ac;a

Alum, Flint and Suiphuric Acid,
l. is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
20 sell or introduce so-called Cheap" or
s~oW-priced baking powders, either di-.
rectiyE Or by an order upon a grocer.
IN most instances deception is used,
and 1t is claimed hat the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of a pure article.
~HousekeeperS should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are we'll 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
alurl In the District of Columbia. The
nlghest authorities condemn their use.
Dr. S. w. Johnson. Tor instance, Pro-
lessor of chemistry at Yale college
says: Bread made with a baking pow
der containing alum must yield a
soluble alumina salt with the gastric
Juice, and must, therefore, act as a
poison"
1T 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 one-quarter
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts Of lead are also found in
Them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
equitable well known cream of tartar
srand, and never buy from peddlers.
