ALUM BAKING POWDIRS.
IstaWseM id hMM
The recent discussion in tbe ym
erSofthe effect upon the human
system of food made with alum Ink
ing powders and the opinions that
have been published from noted sci
entists to the etleet that such powders
render the food unwholesome, lead
ing togravedisordcrs of tbe stomach,
liver and kidueys, have caused nu
merous inquiries for the name of the
alum powders.
In Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota
and Wisconsin of such importance
do the fiKxl authorities deem the
matter that the names of the alum
powders are officially made public,
and the legislatures of the latter two
states have provided that there shall
be printed upon the labels ot all
packages ot this class of powders the
statement that they contain alum.
Information as to the list here
given has been obtained from the
official reports ot the Ohio and New
Jersey Food Commissions, from the
Agricultural Department chemist at
Washington, and from other equally
reliable authority.

In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are Belling what
they call their own private or spe
cial brauds. These powders are
put up for the grocer, and his name
put upon the laliel by manufacturers
of alum powden iu Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and elsewhere.
The manufacturers, it is said, find
their efforts to market their goods
in this way greatly aided by theam
bit ion of the grocer to sell a powder
with his own name upon the label,
especially as be can make an abnor
mal profit iiK)ii' it. Many grocers,
doubtless, do not know that the
jKiwders they are thus pushing con
tain alum and would bo actually con
traband in many sections if sold
without disguise.
It is quite impossible to give the
names ot all tbe alum baking pow
ders in the market. They are con
stantly appearing ill all sorts of dis
guises, under all kinds of cognomens,
and at all kinds of prices, even us
low us five and ten cents a pound.
They can lie avoided, however, by
the housekeeper who will bear in
mind that all baking jMiwdcrs sold
at twenty-five cents or less per pound
are liable to contain alum, as pure
cream of tartar powders cannot be
produced at anything like this price.

History of "Oifl Fort. '
Any one who has been to Centre
Hall, Centre cuuuty, will ee a large
granite monumeut in front of 'Old
Fort" Hotel, with this inscription :
"Erected June 9, 1888, by the 11
lefonte Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution to mark
the location of the old Indian Fort,
known iu 1777 as Potter's Fort
which stood GoO feetnortl
i of this
mark."
The "Old Fort," as is the familiar
name, was built bv Colonel James
l'otter in 1777 as a defense to the
hostile Indians who frequently made
desperate raids through Penn's Val
ley in these earlier days when only
a few settlers lived in this beautiful
valley then a wilderness. It was
likely the beautiful spring of water
that helcd Colonel Potter to select
this place to build his little log cabin
in 1871. Later this place was oc
cupied as a tavern by Stephen
Smith. In June 1825 J. and J.
Potter built a stone tavern and ever
since known an "Old Fort Hotel."
Many years later while erecting a
house at this place, many old relics
were found. This gave proof of the
definite location of the fort. The
name, however, had at one time been
changed to McCoy's tavern; but
later took the old name again.
In July 1708 it was occupied by
Captain Fiuley's comjmny of Colonel
Brodhead'scommand for a few weeks.
Tradition relates a tight between two
Indians and two white men in which
they grappled and cut each other iu
pieces. All four died.
Thf graves ofthe two Indians are
still marked along the Lewistown &
Bellefonte road, not far from "Old
Fort." The only service done by
Captain Fiuley with twenty-five
privates, was his march through the
Penn's Valley to protect the reapers
from the invading bands of Indians.
After the treaty of 1708 James
Potter, afterwards a brigadier general
under Washington, came up the West
Branch and Bald Eagle Creek to
seek valuable land. He crossed the
Nittany mountain at lagan's Gap.
Here, from the top of the mountain,
he saw for the first time that beauti
ful valley which was to be his per
manent home. Any one who has
crossed here on the Lewistown &
Bellefonte road, will ever remember
the impression made of that luxuri
ant valley spread out like a map,
checkered with copses of woodland
and fertile furms with cheerful white
cottages. After recounoitoring the
valley he descended the Penn's Creek
in a canoe to see, as be probably
thought, a more lieautiful location
for a settlement; but soon returned,
made a settlement, and erected a
stockade fort. Truces of the fort are
still seen near McCoy's tavern.
Many of the rich farmers, of Pot
ter's Hank and formiles farther south,
In-long to the Potter family.
At the opening of the Revolution
a band of roving Indiansdrove Gen
eral Potter, with others, from their
settlement. He then entered the
service under Washington iu the
campaign of Valley Forge, Brandy
wine, Germantown, and New Jersey.
Many of Washington's orders and
letters are preserved among General
Potter's tapers. After the war a
treaty with the Indians for the pur
chase of the land south and north
west of West Branch. General Pot
ter was employed as agent and sur
veyor and superintended the land of
the settlements on the Sinnemahon
ing and West Branch above the
Allegheny mountains.
Many ot the white settlers were
killed by the frequent Indian raids
made through the valley. The fort
was built of logs and some parts of
the foundation are stili to be seen.
The farm on which the fort stood is
owned by John P. Taylor of Mifllin
county. The beautiful spring is still
there. Sketches by the Way.
