The strongest, puresf, most efficient and

in price, yet the most economical; indispens
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food. 6
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un-’
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the heaitli}
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat?
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the*
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. It costs less than two cents a pound.
Alum is a corrosive poison. Think of feeding it to chil
dren ! Yet the manufacturers of well-known alum
powders arc actually denying that their goods contain it.
