The ALUM BILL
FAvoRABLY REPORTED BY A
MITTEE OF MISSOURI
LEGISLATURE.

Jefferson City. Mo-, Jan. 2O.-The
"alum" bill, which permits the use of
alum in the manufacture of baking
powder, was reported out of committee
today with recommendation that it
pass. This Is the bill that two years
ago was the source of so much scandal
in the senate. Six years ago Senator
Lyons introduced the bill that pre-
vented the use of alum in baking pow
der. He gave as his reason for its in
PRODUCTION at the time that he had re-
ceived letter from poor woman in
Kansas City whose child had been
poisoned by eating candy in which
alum had been used. The bill passed
giving the baking powder trust mon
opoly in the state. Two years ago an
attempt was made to repeal the Lyons
act by striking out the word "alum"
but the bill failed and even two grand
jurles never succeeded in getting all
the facts about how it happened.
