Bills have been introduced in the New York, Illinois
and Minnesota Legislatures compelling the manufacturer
of such baking powders to brand on the label in bold type,
this powder "Contains ammonia." Physicians and chem
ists condemn the use of ammonia in baking- powders as a
crime. Its constant use no matter how small the quantity
deranges the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and
destroying the complexion. It is the small quantities taken
every meal that do the mischief.
It is gratifying to know there are pure baking powders
to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the
consumer than some of these so-called "absolutely pure"
ammonia powders.

dealer who was blamed for the
whole trouble.
The peasantry also plundered
the residences of the grain dealers
and finally combined in an attack
upon the railroad station. The
railroad officials sent for the as

outside the railroad station made a
fierce attack upon the soldiers.
