The week before the Health
eat of New York seized a
of stuff being sold for
log powder which they fonnd
made from alnm mixed with
mnd rock, and dumped it into
river.
The health authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent
he introduction into onr markets
of injurious substitutes in place of
wholesome baking powders.
As alum costa only two cents a
x>nnd, there is a great temptation
or those manufacturers who make
substitutes and imitation goods, to
use it. Alum baking powders can
)c detected by the health author-
ities by chemical analysis, but the
ordinary housekeeper, whose assist-
ance in protecting the health of
the people ia important, cannot
make a chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum
powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten to
twenty cents for a pound can, or
that some prize—like a spoon, or
glass, or piece of crookery, or
wooden ware—is given with the
powder as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize
the importance of this subject and
consumers insist on having baking
powder of established name and
character, and as the health
authorities continue their vigorous
crusades, the alnm danger will,
is hoped, finally be driven from
onr homes.
Weatherford Will Get the
Convention.
City Attorney .Jno. W. Moyers
who has been confering with mem'
bers of the congressional exeentive
committee and other democratic
leaders of Hood, Erath and Com
auche counties by telephone dur-
ing the past few days in regard
the place of holding the congres-
sional convention, assures us that
it is now practically certain that.
Weatherford will get the con
vention.
Too much praise cannot be given
the gentlemen who have been
instrumental in getting this con
Mention, for it had begun to look
like Weatherford had a rather
slim chance, Chairman Martin
having received a request from
four of the seven members of the
executive committee that the con
vention be called at Stephenville
But Mr. Moyers took the matter
up with these gentlemen at once
with the result that their requests
were withdrawn at once, and now
Weatherford will have a chance
to show the democracy of the i2th
district what she can do in the
Way of entertaining a crowd, for
is convention promises to be one
unusual size and interest.
Our Visitors.
