Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz, G) Min.
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid OF
Phospate, and (3) Cream Of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
CD Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay, This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution product is obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral
sells from 10 to 25 cents a pound.
ca Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders and
the process is fully described in the
patents issued to large manufacturer
of a phosphate powder. The U. S.
Patent Office Report gives full and
exact description, but the following
extract is enough
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and in
the following proportions, etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
90 Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask, boiled with
water, and crystals of Cream of Tartar,
whiteand very pure, separate and are
collected. 1t differs in no respect from
the form in which it originally existed
in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then,
while the most expensive, is the only
ingredient that should be used in a
baking powder to act upon the soda, as
its wholesomeness is beyond question.
Cream of Tartar baking powders sell
at about 40 to so cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule: Baking
powders selling from 10 to 95 cents q
pound are made OF Mineral-Acid
those selling from 20 to % cents oil
l.Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 81
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

The Southern also has O connecting

where there is large furnace and
iron and coal are found in abundance.
There is much mineral property thro'
that immediate section and it ic thought
that within the next two years the coun

to the manner in which the Birmingham
district was opened twenty or-tweny-
five years ago.

mountains, which contain nearly every

at one time the capital of Tennessee,

old and aristrocratic citizens. 1t is in
the center of the county and within a
radius OF fifteen miles os the little town
there has been found minerals of every
description which are being mined in
paying quantities.
