would be madness to fire. christening

AN EVIL IN FOOD THE Law
SHOULD REACH.

In reference to the use of alum bak-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, of the
State University Of Missouri, says:
"The deleterious effects of alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, even when used in
small quantities, are too we'll known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in medical publication
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
1T is an irritant which inflames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal ca
nal.
ct is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
.It renders the albumen of the food
partially insoluble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
ct is absorbed into the blood, which
1t tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow Of the blood through the or
CANS of the heart is thus retarded.
cts continued absorption into the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-

women and men suffer.
