some baking powder manufacturer tc
get a new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities Of one OF
them were recently seized in New York
being found to be largely composed OF
sharp-pointed grains Of ground flint

Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Heusekeerers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get a brand well known
to be made of cream Of tartar, which is

SURE PREVENTION OF SMALLPOX
No One Who Eats Lettuce Every Day
in Danger Of the Disease.

Medical Talk says: Lettuce is an abso-
lutte preventive OF smallpox. No one is
dn the least particle of danger Of catching
smallpox who eats a little lettuce every
day. Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea deprived
of fresh vegetables get scurvy. Scurvy Is a
typical scorbutic disease. Smallpox is an
other. Smallpox always RACES during the
winter season, when the poor people are
deprived of fresh vegetable foods. Celery
and onions are good for this purpose, but
there is such a long interval between their
being gathered and being eaten that they
lose most of their anti-scorbutic proper
ties. Lettuce is served shortly after it is
picked, and, hence. contains the valuable
properties which win prevent smallpox.
We say without the least hesitation or re-
serve that lettuce win prevent smallpox.
1t is a thousand times better than vacci-
nation. 1t has no liabilities, like vacclna-
