AN EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
SHOULD REACH.

In reference to the use Of alum bak-
Ing powders Prof. Schwoitzer. OF the
State University OF Missouri, says:
"The deleterious effects OF alum and
the soluble salts Of alumina upon the
human system. ever when used In
small quantities. are too well 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 n medical publication
Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion Of the food.
ut Is an %irritant which ln1amcs and
irrltaies the stomach and Intestinal ca-
nal.
at is an %astringent and tends to con
stipate the bowels. which intcrferes
with digestion.
ut renders the nlbumen Of the food
partially insolublc. and therefore takes
away from its nutrltiye value.

II tends TO thicken and %coagulate, Tho
free fow OF the blood through the or
gans OF the heart Is thus retarded.
ats continued absorption into the
system causes some forms OF nervous
prostrations and many Of those anec-
lions OF the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
Fourteen grains Of alum have caused
the death OF a child. Larger doses have

Of adults.

STATE SCHOOL FUND
MAY GET A MILLION
California May Yet Be Enabled to
Secure Commission on Land
Sales

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 5.-If Califor-
MIA can secure the commissions on the
sale of Government lands which are
awarded to other States, it is esti-
mated that the State school fund will
profit to the extent of $1,000, 900.
State Controller Colgan has address
ed a letter to Governor Pardee inform
ing him of the facts. 1t appears that
in every state where the per cent
commission is allowed, the State was
admitted into the Union with an enab-
ling act calling for such an award.
This was not done in the case of Cali
fornia, however. and hence it has never
enjoyed it's percentage from the sale of
public lands Several bills have been
introduced in Congress in California's
interest, but they were in each in
stance loaded down with other pro-
visions and suffered defeat. A re-
newed effort will be made to secure
California it's commissions.
