IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED.
The Mew York Damn! f Health Fiad It
Cantatas Alan and Hack, Declare It
Danjrerana to Health and Damp
- - It lata the Bl?r,
The New York papers report that the
Health Department of thtt city has
seized as dangerous to health nearly
two tons of cheap mixtures sold for
baking powder, and dumped them into
the offal scow to be destroyed. More
of the powder was found in a Sixth ave.
department store. The report ot the
analysis of the Health Department
stated that it was "an alum baking
powder" containing alum and pulver
ized rock.
The different Health authorities seem
to have different ways of repressing
the sale of bad baking powder. In
England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actully
prohibited by law. In New York they
seized the wholesome stuff and cast it
into the river, without any discussion.
The latter way is certainly effective
The alum baking powders are usually
offered at a low price, ten to twenty
oents a pound, or with some prize, as
aiemptatloo to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking
powder of established name and rep
utation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as "just
as good" o.r "our own brand," for the
trials show that the grocer himself Is
often deceived by unscrupulous makers
and is selling an alum powder without
knowing It
There are several' good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper Insist
on having what she knows Is right
and not be induced to risk the life o
the family for an Imaginary savins; of
