A story is told and it is a truo story that over seventy per cent, of ail the baking powders sold contain cither alum or ammonia, and many of theso powders contain both. The ill effects upon the system of food raised by alttm or ammo nia powders aro the more dangerous because of their insidious character. It would be less dangerous for tho people were it fatal at once, for then such food would bo avoided, but their baneful action because imperceptible at first and slow in its advances, is no less certain.
