ALUM, FLINT AND SULPHURIC ACID.

It is reported that in many localities houses are infested by peddlers u y m g to sell or introduce so-called "cheap" or low-priced baking powders, either directly or by an order upon a grocer. In most instances deception is used, and it is claimed that the article is a genuine baking powder and has all the merits of a pure article.

Housekeepers should be on their guard against this danger to their food. Alum powders are almost always low priced. But they are well known to be detrimental to health. In England and in some sections of this country their sale is prohibited by law. Congress has forbidden the sale of food contain­ing alum in the District of Columbia. The highest authorities condemn their use. Dr. S. W. Johnson, for instance, Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col­lege, says: "Bread made with a bak­ing powder containing alum must yield a soluble alumina salt with the gastric juice, and must, therefore, act as a poison."

It i s well known that these so-called "cheap" goods are made from alum or the very cheapest materials. One of them was recently analyzed at Yale College and found to be one-quarter sharp pointed grains of ground flint. Others are filled with sulphuric acid, and salts of lead are also found in them.

In baking powders be sure to get a reputable well-known cream of tartar brand, and never buy from peddlers.

"Hooray fur Squire Hooligan!" "Put him out, roared the court, and in

another instant the young man found him­self being rushed to the door. Order hav­ing been restored once more, his honor or­dered that the prisoner be brought before the bar for trial. The court officer hur­riedly glanced about through the crowd and then a great light suddenly fell upon him.

"Can't do it your honor," he replied "The young fellow you just put out was the prisoner."
