ALUM IN BREAD.
A nuisance that troubled Europe fifty
years ago now attracts attention here,
that la, putting alum In the bread we
eat. The bread roust be " light" that It
may be digested, that la, It must be filled
by the well-known cells we are accus
tomed to see In It. Where beer or ale Is
brewed those who understaud healthy
bread making procure yeast, which
"lightens" the bread better than any
subBtistute, and Is wholesome. Where
yeast Is not readily to be obtained baking
powders are resorted to, and out of them
comes mischief. . Bl-carbonate of soda
and cream of tartar, or tartaric acid, are
the usual constituents of a good baking
powder. Cream of tartar sells at from
sixty to eighty-five cents a pound. This
high price has led cheap baking powders
to be made of alum, as a substitute for
some or all of the cream of tartar. Alum
will make bread look whiter, so that
bakers make an Inferior flour salable as
as bread by Its use ; and they use It, In
some places calling il "rock," so that no
inadvertent expressions may let outsiders
know that alum is used. Alum Is an
Injurious article to the human constitu
tion in large quantities, or in small
quantities often repeated. It is the
small quantities taken every meal in
bread that do the mischief. Alum is
cheap ten cents a pound to the
pocket, but it takes what is saved out of
the stomach, and then takes it with
fearful interest. Alum is an astringent,
and is used by dyers and other as such.
Taken frequently on the stomach it pro
duces heartburn, indigestion, griping,
constipation, dyspepsia and kindred
troubles resulting from irritation of the
mucus membrane, produced by the
stringent properties of alum. All these
nice things to be inflicted by the bread
eaten morning, noon, evening. To young
children, 'growing girls, persons of light
frame and sedentary occupations, this
alum bread is poison most especially. If
the reader wants to know something of
alum let him suck a lump of it, notice
Its effects upon the mouth, which is
something like that of an unripe persim
mon ; then let him reflect how it acts
upon the tender, delicate coat of the
stomach. Dr. Henry A. Mott, the cele
brated analytical chemist, analyzed
twenty-three of the baking powders
most in use, and found alum in all but
one. It is time we took measures to
stop the bread poisoning that kills our
little enes and perpetuates dyspepsia and
cholera.
A New Way to Fix Fodder.
The Hellefoute Republican gives this
item of interest to the farmer: "Mr.
John I. Thompson, of Martha, has a
way of preparing his corn fodder that to
us Is quite new. He uses one of the old
fashioned little Shaker threshers by
taking out the teeth from the front con
cave and In their place inserting knives
(made from old scythe blades,) then
feeds In the stalks. The result Is that
the fodder is cut up fine and maybe
more conveniently stored, the cattle eat
more of it and waste less, and it makes
excellent manure, being rolled easily
and is free from the stringy stalks so ob
jectionable in corn fodder compost.
Mr. Thompson says this Is the only sat
isfactory fodder cutter he has ever tried.
It is entirely his own idea, but as he
has not patented the machine we give
those who may prolitbyitthe benefit
of this description."
Powerful Explosives.
Gun cotton is prepared by dipping
cellular tissue, viz : cotton, sawdust or
printing paper, in strong nttrlo acid
(aquafortis.) It is then to be carefully
washed and dried. It is not materially
changed in appearance. It explodes at
the heat of boiling water (212) degrees.
It explodes with much greator violence
and suddenness than gun powder, and
for that reason is more liable to burst a
gun. See what a power sleeps in our
ignorance. Take a saw and cut up a bit
of deal board, a bit of dried pine " board.
Steep this In a saucerful of acquafortls
and this single cupful of compound, fill
ed Into a tin vessel and Inserted Into the
basement wall of a building, will, when
exploded, blow it to pieces.
Spirits of turpentiue is good to
take grease spots off woolen clothes, to
take spots of paint from mahogany fur
niture, and to cleanse white kid gloves.
Cockroaches and vermin have an aver
sion to spirits of turpentine.
A Cross Baby.
Nothing is so conducive to a umu's
remaining a bachelor as stopping for one
night at the house of a married friend
and being kept awake for five or ix
hours by the crying of a cross baby.
All cobs and cryiug babies need only
Hop Bitters to make them well and
smiling. Young man, remember this.
