A
Does Your
Baking Powder
Contain
Alum?
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 Chem ist: “ I believe
it (alum) to be decidedly injurious when used as a constituent o f
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 o f 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 o f tartar, which is highly
refined grape acid, are promotive o f health, and more efficient.
N o other kind should be used in leavening food. Royal Baking
Powder is the highest example of a pure cream ot tartar powder.

Army officers iu the Philippines who
have charge of the troop transports
complain of the lack of coaling facil
ities and the annoyances which sur
round the replenishing of the fuel sup
ply of such ships. They write the war
department that the present method
involves great delay, troops being com
pelled to await transports, which make
long trip« to the coal pile and back.
The distance required to go for fuel
is 7lA miles, and the period taken for
tins errand is from 10 to 20 days.
Bometimes, it is Baid, a transport is
gone long enough while taking on coal
to make a trip from Manila to Ban
Francisco. It is probable there w ill be
an official inquiry into the system, and
some arrangements made by which the
transports can be coaled with greater
facility.
Port Patrick is the nearest place on
the coast of Bcotland to that of Ire
land, the channel lieiug only 21 miles
across— ul>out the siime distance as that
