OBSKRVKB.
AVOID ALUM
1 taking Powders. There Use is
Dangerous to Health.
l'he condemnation of alum as an
unwholesome ingredient iu baking
powders by the Government author'
lties as well as by the Towa and
Minnesota State Boards of Health
and physicians generally, has not
deferred manufacturers ot such
powders from foisting them on the
public. Following is partial list of
the condemned alum powders found
in the stores in this section:
Calumet. Perfect,
Grant's Bon Bon. Rocket-
Jack Frost. Vision.
IC. C.
It is safe to reject all brands sold
with a prize. All powders sold at
twenty.five cents or less a pound
are sure to be made of alum. Dr.
W iley, the Government Chemist, in
his official examination of baking
powders at the World's Fair, threw
out all "alum powders," classing
them as unfit for human food.
But the World's Fair could an-
rove as well as condemn. After
the most elaborate tests, it bestow-
ed the highest award for purity,
I leavening power, keeping qualities'
and general excellence on Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder.
W ill T. Little demonstrated his
hustling qualities iu the lobby of
the late Oklahoma legislature. He
succeeded in lobbying his tree bill
through both branches and camped
with the governor until he permitted
the measure to become a law.
