Tho recent distUHsion in the papers of the effect upon the human rytttom of food made with alum baking powders and the opinions that havo been pub lished from noted scientists to tho effect that such powders tender tho j food unwholesome, havo oam-ed jiuuicj ous inquiries (or tho names of tho vari ous alum powders. The following list of baking powders containing alum is made up from the reports of State Chemist Nicholnon, ol Nebraska, tho City Chemist of St. Louis, the Food Couirnifsiorr of Minne sota, or other reliable authority: ItMk tiiff I'otvdor Cuiitiilnliig Alum: K.

These powders aro put up for the grocer and his uamo put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum pow ders in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Tacorna, San Francisco and oho where. Tho manufacturers, it is said, find tlioir efforts to mmket their immlii in th in way greatly aided by tho ambi tion of tho grocoi to sell a powder with his own namo upon tho label, especial ly when tho grocer can mako an ab normal profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtless, do not know that tho pow ders that thoy aro thus pushing aro alum powders which would be actually contraband In many sections if sold without disguise. It Is quite impossible to givo tho names of all tho alum baking powders in tho markot. Thoy aro constantly appearing in all sorts of diHgulsea, un der all kinds of cognomens, and at all kinda of prices, oven as low as five and ton cents a pound. Thoy can bo avoid ed, howovor, by tho housekeeper who will boar in mind that all baking pow dora sold at twcnty.flvo cents or less por pound are liable to contain uliiin, aa pure cream of tartar baking powdorH cannot bo produced at anything liko this prico.
