WM WRIGHT S STORE ON FIRE
When William Wright came lo bis
store' this morning he found lt full of
smoke. Quickly closing the door lie
made his way through the blinding
smoke to the roar of the store, and
gelling a pail of waler he found a
s|M>t on the' floor that was (molding.
The flra was put out without much
trOUble e-xcept from Ihe smoke.
An investigation showed that a wood
en cuspidor that had been filled will,
saw-dust had been burned up and a
bole had been burned through the floor.
The damage is slight, but had there
been a draught of air in the store il
would have probably been totally des-troyed.
lt Is supposed to have been caused
by some one throwing a lighted cigar
end in the cuspidor.

Does Your
Baking: Powdei
Contain
Alum ?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: "All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re-gard
the use of alum as highly injurious."
Dr. Alonzo Clark: *' A substance (alum )
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder."
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: "I believe it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles."
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: "I
regard their ( alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan-gerous
to health."
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
