Major McLaughry would say, were

and heredity. conditions which we
may be able to combat in time"
In this connection Prof Kendrick
spoke in lavish praise of Superintend-

The teachers of the state can do
much to reduce the number of COM

BAKING POWDER AGAIN.
Alum Goods That Masquerade as
'HiQh- Class" PdWderS.

In previous analy is we have shown
that the 25-cent alum baking powders
are an imposition, both on the con-
sumer and the retailer, as the differ
ence in cost of manufacture of 1O-cenl
alum paking powder and a 25-cent
one is not more than one cent pound.
There is the Calumet baking pow
der, an alum powder with about one
cents worth of phosphate added to it.
and which retails for Is cent. 1t is
not worth more than 10 or II cents,
which we showed by analysis. In
order to sell this powder at all they
are now preparing a premium scheme
and are going to give away hairpins
and other cheap trash that may be at
tractive to the eye and cover up their
transactions. They can we'll afford
to give Is cents worth of goods with
every pound of baking powder they
sell.
If alum baking powder is used at
all, 10 cents is reasonable price, as
alum costs only two cents pound,
which leaves the manufacturer fair
profit. lille we know that cream of
tartar baking powders are sold at
higher prices than others, we also
know that chemically pure cream of
tratar used in the highest-grade pow
DIR costs at least twelve times more
chan laum.
