All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea Of a few years
ago. about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious. no longer prevails. or
scarcely exists. Il is a well es,ab-
lished fact by chemical ANALYSIS that
Cream Of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum. when exposed 10 heat. Is
not entirely yaporized as IS the case
with Alum. but leaves a residue in the
bread. which is injurious. Alum. on
he contrary. IS entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process Of baking. leaving no atom OF
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals. and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream O.
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome: an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping il into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar.
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one: Alum baking
powder Is better. and very much
cheaper.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of Lcudon have re
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration OF Sir JameS Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world. and his condsmna-
ton OF the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion Of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws of vast quanti-
ties OF noxious pases. Some OF these
are absolutely poisonous n all in
furious. He holds that the air Of Lon
don is tad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas. the
sulphurous gases. and. worst Of all.
the ~asphyxiating carbonic oxide
Moreover. while he admits that sci
ence can improve motors. he declares
that II is impossible for il to burn pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuous.

North Dakota Solves the A~duiteratien

North Dakota seems 10 have found
the key to the question. How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
TO make Il impossible 10 deceive poo
pie into buying inferior and aduiter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint. viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
TIE North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt 10 absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments. or mixtures Of
pigments They adopted the slogan.
Let the label tell. and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished
Under this plan. II any one wishes
q buy n mixture OF rockdust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found In many paints and
socalled white leads. no QUO can
object. for they do IL with their eyes
open. But u they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil. they can
be sure Of getting IL. for none but
the genuine article a bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no real
white lead.
II would seem that were this same
principle applied TO food. beverages
and all other prepared articles. where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er. the question would be solved. II
would leave US free to buy what we
pleased. but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

hospitality shown to writer's and their

But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four OF these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
ness and vigor of its Inspirations.

try behind and about IL and an ad-
v%enturous and virile population that
has liked to live its " life In its
way and dream and live its own
romances.
II has had money. too. II has sent
out its ENJOYS to view the world land
Q good many Of then have stayed
away. and because II has been one
OF the worlds great starting places
