Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M. D., University of Perm. : "All
the constituents of alum remain (from alum baking powders) in
the bread, and the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the gastric juice in the
process of digestion. I regard the use of alum as highly injurious."
Dr. Alonzo Clark : "A substance (alum) which can de
range the stomach should not be tolerated in baking powder."
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State Chemist : " I believe
it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent of
food articles."
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: "I regard their
(alum and soluble alumina salts) introduction into baking pow
ders as most dangerous to health."
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum ,
baking powders from the food.
Baking powders made from cream of tartar, which is highly
refined grape acid, arc promotive of health, and more efficient.
No other kind should be used in leavening food. Royal Baking
Powder is the highest example of a pure cream of tartar powder.

The Advantage of One Eye.
During the late Spanish-American
war a certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
rery indignant because ho was put
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one of the
New York volunteer reigments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal interview with
the president. He succeeded in gain
ing an audience, and the president,
after listening to his plea, said, kindly:
"But, my good Col. J , you
have only one eye!"
"Just so, sir," was the prompt re
joinder, "but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eye?
When I aim my gun I shan't have to
close the other!"

This Interesting potentate of tho
glass submarine palnce Is the King of
Slnm.1 He has .1 very long name, tuty
seven letters In nil; but for short he la
called Chulnlongkorn.
The glass p.ilnee of the klug Is 20
feet square and 15 feet In height. With
the exception of the floor It l entire
ly of heavy plate glass closely lltted
Into steel frames. The lloor Is of
wood and steel, and directly under It
Is a second or false lloor, Into which
are stored weights or stone. hen
tloatlng nil these weights nre removed,
but when his majesty desires a cool
ing, tons of them are rolled In nnd the
room slowly and silently sinks until
It rests upon the bottom. It Is then
at a depth of about twenty feet, nnd
so arranged that an abundant supply
of air Is obtnlued from numerous tubes
leading to the surface. Ity menus of
other tubes he Is eimhled to hold con
versations with those In the royal pnl-
ace on shore, nnd also to transact tttato
business. The furnishings of this sub
marine ens tie nre ns lavish ns Ihoso
of the Imperial palace.
This fastidious potentate of Slum Is
young man. hut despite his age ho
has (500 wives. Notwithstanding this
large assortment, however, he Is so
sacred nnd mighty that he must marry
nobody benentli him In rank, nnd his
only equals being members of his own
family, his ofllclal wife must, therefore,
be his half-sister. She rules the harem.
In looking at this semi-heathen king
It Is hard to believe that he Is tho sa
cred ruler over 8.000.000 people, nnd
still harder to appreciate his absolute
power. The w'jole people nre his
slaves, nnd his simple word Inflicts In
stant death on any mnn, or robs hlni of
his property or family. He has tho
right to call his subjects Into his Her-
lee without pay nt any and nil times.
and every mnn In Slnm Is forced to
give him pnrt of his services during n
tmrt of each venr.
