How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

A recent seizure of lot of "cheap"
baking powders by the authorities of
a neighboring city has exposed tn e
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manufact-
urers are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders
first attracted attention to them. Sam =
Piles were taken and analysed. The
official report of the analysis showed
the stuff to DE "alum powders" COM
posed chiefly of alum, sulphuric acid
and pulverized rock. The powders
were declared dangerous to health and
several thousand pounds were con-
fiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently caution
ed consumers against mixing food with
these so-called cheap" baking pow
ders. They are all found, when an
alyzed, to contain large percentages of
alum and sulphuric acid to which are
added various sorts of filing matter
sometimes both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar bak-
ing powders, are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making
the food better and more healthful.

POOL. ROOM CLOSED.
Mayor Says 1t Cannot Run on
Veterans License.

Acting on the advice of the city at
torney on last Saturday, Chief of Po-
lice Oxford, under instructions of May
or Protein Jennings, took legal steps
to stop the operation of the pool-table
which for some time has been con-
ducted here under the exemptions
claimed by INDECENT or disabled con-
federate soldiers. The municipal au-
thorities decided that these exemptions
did not authorize an old soldier to Oper-
ate pool or billiard table and that
the city ordinance imposing license
tax of five hundred dollars on persons
running such tables in Dawson applied
tn all citizens; and that in accordance
with the statute law of Georgia the
veterans are not accorded the privilege
of carrying on the business OF pool
table without being subject to the
license tax. Accordingly, notice was
Given Mr.. Solomon Jones, who claims
tn own the table ard to Mr.. Mcdonald,
who was employed to run it, that II
wonld be unlawful to continue running
this nool table here unless the busy
ness was regular licensed and the TAX
of $500 first paid. We are informed
that Mr.. Jones has consulted counsel
and may determine to make tesG-case
of this and have the courts pass on Tue
question. At this time the pool room
Is closed and the table is not being

are not fully matured. or at least not
