THE ALUM BAKING P0WDER3. limes of Some of the Principal Hrnn Sold in This Vicinity. The recent discussion in tho papers of tho effect upon the human system of food mado with alum baking powders and the opinions that have been published from noted scien tists to the effect that such nowdcra render tbo food unwholesome, leading to grave dis orders of the stomach, liver and heart, have caused numerous inquiries for the names of the various alum powders. In Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota and Wis consin of such Importance do tho food au thorities deem the matter that the nainos of tho alum powilers aro officially mado public, and the legislatures of the latter two states havo provided that there shall bo printed pou the labels of alt packages of this class of powders the statement that they contain alum. Information as to the list hero given has been obtained from tho official reports of tho Ohio and Now Jersey Food Commissions, from the Agricultural Department chemist at Washington, and from other equally reliable authority : DAVIS' O. K Contains Alum. K. U. Davis & Co., New York, CROWN Contains Alum. J. 1". Dieter Co., Chicago. LESLIE'S Contains Alum. Tho A. Colburn Co., Philadelphia. OltAND UNION Contains Alum. uranu union res Co , New York, A. &t V Contains Alum. Urnnd Atlantic U l'acinc Tea Co., New York. In addition to these, it is learned that many grocera aro selling what they call their own private or special brands. These powders are put up for the grocer, and bis name put upou thn labels by manufacturers of alum powders Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New York, and elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided by the ambition of the grocer to sell a powder with his own namo upon the label, especially as he can mako an abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers, doubtless, do not know that tho powders they aro thus pushing contain alum and would be actually contraband in many sections if sold without disguise. It is quite Impossible to give tho names of all the alum baking powders in tho market. They aro constantly appearing In all sorts of disguises, under all kinds of cognomens, and at all kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten cents a pouud. They can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-fivo cents or less per pound are liablo to contain alum, as pure cream of tartar powders cannot be produced at any thing like this prico.

This is a truo story: In Snn Franoleco there's a Chlncso bocrct society tho laws of which nro as strict nnd unchanging ns those of tho Mcdos nnd Persians. Ono of tho members of this society told somo of Its secrets nn offcuso punlshnblo by death. Ho was to bo tried In tho usual way beforo a trlbunnl of the society. Tho nipt of tho ordcnl wns fixed. Tho culprit wns represented by ablo counsel, but tho Bontcnco wns death ns wns ex pected. An executioner wns called from nn adjoining room. Ho wns a strapping big'Chlnnman and woro ono of thoso hid eous wooden masks that art critics think so beautiful, llo carried n doublo edged sword fully flvo feet long. To test tho edgo ho folded a nowspapcr In eight parts, and tho knlfo wont through thoso eight thicknesses of paper as If It woro a bit of butter In summer timo. The culprit wns put down upon his knees, nnd another Chinaman, nlso on his kneos, faced him nnd caught tho traitor by tho cuo. llo urow tho culprit s nook to ward him, tho smock was pulled over his shoulders, nnd with ono mighty swing tho doublo edged sword descended. Like a Dash It clovo tho air nnd thon stopped. A fractional part of an Inch separated tbo sword from tho victim's neck. Very, very gently the oxccutlonor brought tho weapon down until It just touched tho traitor's nock. Then, as it Is a crlmo to kill a man In San Francisco, ho stopped. Ho brought tho sword to his sldo again, turnod to tho judges and said: "Tho oulprlt Is dead." Tho newly executed got to his foot nnd said something to tho judgo. Tho judgo did not heed for tho culprit was dond. Ho tried to speak to tho Chinainon, who wcro hurrying from tho hall. But ho spoko to deaf cars. To all Intents and purposes ho was a dead man. Ho mado his way Into tho street and tho first thing that caught his eye was n, hugo poster proclaiming to all Chinatown that ho had been executed that ovcnlng. No ono would speak to him, no ono would look at him. Ho wns a dead man Just as dond ns if the executioner's sword had in reality doscended. For a whole week that man wnndorcd about Chinatown, tho posters proclaiming his execution staring him In tho faco at every turn. Not a crust of bread could ho beg, not a mouthful of water. His people know him as dead ho was past, gono, buried. And so ono day ho wandered up Into tho American portion of San Francisco, and stole a revolver from a mossongor boy, who wns showing It to some companions. Thon bo ran down Into Chinatown, sat down on tbo pavement beneath ono of his own death notices and blew tho addled brains out of his poor Chlnoso head. Phil adelphia Pross. Economy Illustrated.
