ALUM IN OUR BREAD. A Chemical Examination of Bak ing-Powders and Its Re sults. The Use of Atom, and Us Deleterious Meets— Opinions of lleditnl Experts—Prompt Action of (be Itreetljn Board of Health, Etc. tn order that Mm people of Dm country may fully understand the causes of Mm present ex citement as to the use of alum In baking-pow ders, a history of Hie agitation (a necessary: In the Hc:ent<Jte Ammcati of Nov. 10 npoeared an article by au eminent chemist of New York showing the presence of alum in largo quanti ties In n number of baking-powders. This article was copied into many newspapers, creating great excitement In every household where baking-powder was used. The popular feeling grew so strong that In Mm early part of December Mm Brooklyn Board of Health direct ed samples of the various kinds of baking-pow ders sold In Urooklyg to be analyzed, and a re port thereon made tollm Board. Sanitury-Buporinlcndcnt Raymond, M. D., has presented to the Board of Health substantially mu following report on hoklug-powders,nml Mm effects of alum on Mm human system. He says: dome of the manufacturers, In Oder to supply a cheap baking-powder, have Introduced alum ns an ingredient, and this seems to bo the only satisfac tory reason for it* use (hat can he (riven. In many countries alum hu* long been need by baker* in bread-making. Tho effect* of alum un the humt.il hudr are well known, nml arc, beyond doubt. Injurious when taken m largo quantities, or In small quantities oflcn repealed. All authori ties agree In this, and there is no room ror discus sion. The report of Dm Brooklyn Board concludes os follows: Prom a careful examination, I am satisfied that the weight of evidence I* against tho ns» of alum tn inking-powdors. oml mat the rink* incurred lu Un uso are too great to ho incurred for tho sake of cheapness alone. Thu mucous membrane of Mis stomach and the intestinal canal Is n delicate structure, mid mctonal* which would produce no effect un the outside skin might Irritate uud liulamo these organs. The Now York Evtntnq Post has been giving this subject satno attention, ami has puhlDhcd thi! result or soino remarkable investigations, which arc worthy the dose attention of thought* lul people. From its recent exposure of the use of burnt alum in name brands of baking-powders, in place of cream of tartar f the following extracts arc mainly taken: Pursuing the investigation of the quality of the food sold in this city, the representative of the Knenlnq Putt took up baking-powder ns one of the articles In most general use in our house* holds. It is used hv nearly every family in the dtyi and it Is naturally of great importance to those who cat the food maue with It to know whether It contains anything Injurious to health. There are certain constituents of good baking fiowder which may bo regarded ns entirely free rom danger. They consist of pure grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, and car bonate of ammouia. The cream of tartar unites with the oilier two ingredients, mid carbonic add gas is thrown oIT. producing the sumo effect as yeast in a much shorter time. It lias been found, however, that alum will also unite with the other two artldcs, mid carbonic add gas will be produced. As alum costs less than three cents, while cream of tar* tar costs mure than HO cents a pound, It is easy to sec. why alum Is substituted for the latter by Koine baking-powder manufacturers. It Is ad mitted by all medical authorities that cream of lunar leaves no injurious substance In the bread; alum, on the other hand, Is in itself au astringent, and ‘there is wide mid deep-seated prejudice against Its use. in .England mid other countries tne adulteration of food with alum is forbidden by law under heavy penalties. When used In baking-powder, the alum forms a third solt, the hydrate of alumina, ns well as tho other two. This hydrate of alumina is fur more eas ily soluble than the other two; lienee any oblec* tlon that may exist as to the use of alum alone in bread applies with greater force to its use In baking-powder. This (act cau be proved by tbo following-named authorities: Parke is “tho leader, of tho new school of hygiene In England.. .Jn his "Treatise on lly* gluue ” he dhys: n Looking, then, to the positive evidence, and the reasonableness of that -evidence, it scorns to mo extremely likely that strongly nlumcd bread dues produce the injurious effects ascribed to it. These effects., ns he previously elates, are indigestion, griping, constipation, and kindred troubles result ing (rum irritation of the mucous membrane, pro duced by the astringent properties uf ulutn. Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing girls, young children, and nursing mothers aru particularly liable to the evil effects produced by this use of alum. Heart-burn ami ihe prevalent forms of Indigestion are often solely traceable to the action of nlutn on tho delicate coats of tho stomach. To make sure of knowing the action of alum, the Pvenlug PotVi representative obtained tho following expressions of opinion os to Its effect when used in baking-powder from some phy sicians of New York of the highest reputation uml ability: Dr. William A. Hammond, formerly Surgeon- General of the United States,of No.-ill West Fifty fourth street, expressed himself as perfectly cer tain of tho injurious effects of alum, whether used alone to whitou bread, or as an adulterant of baking-powder. Alluding to the claim advanced that the alum was neutralized and changed into an insoluble salt, ho said that thin was a wholly Im probable assumption, since such a perfect change could not take place unless the amounts of the alum and the bicarbonate of soda wore combined in tno exact chemical ratio necessary for each to absorb all of the other. Not only was this impos sible in the manufacture of largo quantities of baklng-nowder, nut tho liumuveneoiis.cliaractcrtof tho compound could not be exactly maintained throughout tho whole mass, and, therefore, there would ha sure to ho a certain amount of free alum in any bread made with un alum baking-powder. Put even If tho exact proportion woru maintained, the sails formed would retain their injurious properties, us they would be dissolved in the gastric juice. The gastric juice contained notonly lucllcncld, hula largo amount of hydro chloric acid. und both tho snlphntu and hydrate of alumina would bo dissolved. Thu phosphate might not ho, but in that case the bread would bo deprived of one of its most desirable Ingredients, making the use of ultqn nut only dangerous to tho stomacn. but deteriorating to the food. "The hydrate of alumina," Dr. Hammond said, "would certainly be Injurious to the mucous mem brane. It would Inevitably torn! to constipate the bowels and Interfere wllli digestion; und anything that lends to render Ilia albumen of thu bread in soluble, and. therefore, lakes away from its uu> tntive value, is Injurious.” Dr. Willard I’arkur said that if alum was sub stituted fur croum of tartar iu baking-powder, in hla opinion such powder would be injurious to health. Dr. Alonzo Clark considers ihut alum lias Ha used, but should not bo Ignorantly taken Into the stomach in food. A substance winch can derange the stumscu, and In certain cases pro* ducu vomiting, should nut be tolerated la bak ing-powder. Other grunt authorities, such as Corucnler, Thompson, (llbliou, and Normandy, all agree that the continued use of bread containing alum will bring about dyspepsia and other troubles. Dr. Sayre, former President ol the Board of Health, said to uuo of the representatives of the New York press: After the experiments In this line by Liebig and other distlncinsned chemists ami vlvisuctom with alum on cals, dugs, uml other animals, with the published results, wo roav well usk what is the use of euch experiments It we do not apply them to practice in inu preservation of human life and health! Thu Hurd of Health should sou to Inis, Or. Waller, cimm&t fur tbo New York Board of Health, when asked bv a .Siiu reporter an to the Injurious elicits of alum, retd led: You know wlmt the olfcct of alum Is when you lake soma of it in your mouth; well, that Is Just tbs effect it bus upon tbo couu of the stomach. The analysis of the various baking-powders, as oflieially reported by the llrooklvn iiosrd of Health, reveals only two brands containing alum being sold in that city,—Dooley's and I’a tupsco. This it a much smaller proportion of alum baking-powders than ilio number in use us re ported by Ur. Ileuiy A. Mull, Jr., us Chemist lor the Indian l)e|>urtuieut of the United Stales, lie found seventeen alum baking-powder* out of the forty-two that he uiml.uml. As to the eroam of tartar powders, the same report mentions .the Uoyul UaUhig-Powder us free from ulum or auv other suhstaneo injurious to life mid health. Haringobiumed the foregoing, the reporter called ut ihu olliee of the' Uoyul UaUlmr-l’owdcr Company, No. 171 Duane street, the manufac turers ol tim Uoyul UsUlmr-l’uwder, a brand which the report of Uw Brooklyn Board of Health revealed to bo pure. Mr. J. C. Hoag land, ITesidcut of the Company, guvo the fol lowing replies: Hepormr—What is tbs causa of present excite ment about bakinii-powdersr Mr. llouKlaml—it Is doe to the substitution of alum for cream of tartar by some manufacturers. JUporler—Have you ever ussd soy alum tu tbo Herat itakititf-PuwderT Mr. llduyltiid —No, sir. Iteuurter—Hut 1 Hud that U is used bv others. WLilull used tori Mr. Ilonglnnd—l presume because It ts cheaper than cream of tartar, which it replaces. Reporter—You would. Ihuretoro, obtain a larger prolU by using alam loan by using cream of tartar? Mr. lloflglaml—'Ve«, for a time such substitution would more Hun double our profits. Reporter—Why, then, do you notnse It? Mr. Iloagland—For two reasons: ilrst, the au thorities on this point are so positive and con clusive that the continued use of alum In this way Is dangerous to health that we could not conscien tiously use It; tf others choose to take risks on the public health we shall not follow them, preferring to continue tho use or pure grape cream of tartar, which Is demonstrated to bo wholesome; second, our experience during twenty years has satisfied us Mist that which is best for the public Is best for us. We cannot afford to peril the reputation of tho Royal Unking-Powder. Reporter—Can you give me any Information about cream of tartar, how and whore you procure Mr. Hoaclsnd—There aro several substllutcor "patent” cream of tartars on the market, prin cipally made from bones treated with * strong cor rosive acid: hut the cream of tartar wo use is a fruit acid; it exists naturally In tho grape, and during fermentation of'tlie tart wines of Franco It Is deposited on the sides and bottom of the casks. In its unredned state It Is called crude tartar, or argots, and Is taken from tho casks after the wine Is drawn off. Each farmer has his cron of tt, ac cording to tho amount of wine he has produced. Thia Company ta tho largest user of cream of tartar In tho world, and wo hare our agents In various R arts of Europe collecting tho crude material. It i Imported to this country as argols, and thou subjected to the higher processes of refining, by which It is purified especially for our purposes, forming pure wnlto crystals, which we grind to powder, and In this form wo use it as an Ingredi ent of our baking-powder. Other Interviews were had, all to Urn satno general effect, namclv, that alum Is used by ninny mauufacturers to cheapen Mmlr powder nml enable them to undersell their competitors. Many of them are probably Ignorant of Mm evil effects of alum on Mm sys’tcm, white others are indifferent so tong os thev make money, nml no one can bo said to bare dropped dead from taking Ihclr powder. By this exposure of the Injurious effects of alum In baking-powder, the public must not be frightened from using baking-powders when properly made. la the report of Prof. Blwyn Waller, Assistant Ilvaltb-Inspcctnr of New York Board of Health.on baking-powder. In 1872, the public oru recom mended to purchase one of the well-known brands of taking-powder, la preference to purchasing tho cream of mrtur separately, as this substance was found lu alt cases to bo adulterated with sulphate of lime, commonly called terra alon. and to such an extent thot in most cases tho cream of tartar was really terra alba, to which a small quantity of cream of tartar had been added. The Inspector further states that when thomlxtnro is made on a larger scale in a factory, and tho baking-powder Is put up in packages ready for uso, Clio manufactur er experiences no Ollllculty, In the first place, of securing good materials free from adulteration, and secondly, in mixing these materials lu the proper proportions. Dr. Mott, the Government chemist, In his review on the subject in the Scientijtc American, makes spedal mention of having analysed the lioynl Jiaking-Powder, and found it composed of wholesome materials. Hu also advises the public to avoid purchasing baking-powders as sold loose or In bulk, as ho found by analyses of many samples that the worst adulterations are practiced in this form,—the label and trade* mark of u well-known and responsible manu* faeturer, ho adds, Is tho best protection the public can have. PRACTICAL JOKING. Tlow It Was Flayed on a County Employe. ' There Is a good Joke told on a fair-haired, tender-hearted employe In the office of the Clerk of the Criminal Court. Ho is a good penman, fond of ladles 1 society, inclined to be a little vain, and those who know him best say that he has the habit of spending considerable time In front,of tho old family mirror. Like must young men of his temperament and edu cation he Is also very sensitive, and it Is said that ho has been known to attend prayer-meet ing every night for two weeks because in passing n certain church one of tlio fair communicants smiled upon him, or ho thought she did; and then again in coming to his business he is. accused of having walked blocks out uf his wav, through mud mid storm, for a long while, just to read a '• dressmaking " sign, mid the only reason that bo has not lung since been captured is that he is just, a little fickle, and very bashful. Without more fully describing Hie gentleman the joke may as well be told on him. He is lo love,—his heart beats pit-a-pat all the time, and be longs for tho smiles of one who has the advantage of know ing him while ho docs not know her. lie writes "gushing" letters to her, yearns to be once la her “ angelic presence,' l and privately says that ho cannot live without her. They mot by chance, and It was' at McCormick’s Hall. She singled him out from a vast audhjoco ' os one "altogether lovely, 11 and addressed him, detailing how she loved at sight, and signs herself "Louisa. ll He receives the tender missive, retires to a private room to read it, and Is entirely overcome. lie replies to her affectionate tribute with a heart glowing with warmth, and, as lovers usually do, throws iu considerable nonsense and sickly poetry, lid wants to meet her, to bask In her smiles, mid shower upon her his admiration, and asks nor to appoint the time and place. "Louisa 11 replies,4icrfcctlv overwhelmed by his letter and its many assurances of hie love fur her, mid appoints a point on North Clark street fur Die meeting, ami, that there may be do mis take, asks him to got a red rose mid wear it la his coat. He answers tho totter by meeting the engagement promptly, but walls In vaia for *Loulsa. Instead of Louisa, however, came several of bis gentlemen friends, wbo, natu rally enough, noticed his extra adornment; but be hud no time to talk to them, though he stood at the appointed spot and in agiven posture for several hours. The next day he received a long letter from "Louisa" which was even mure affectionate than before, in which the apology was made for nut meeting him, that her dear old aunt was quite sick, und she had to remain indoors to nurse her. He replies by letter, graciously accepting the apology, and asks that another appointment bo made, und one Ismude, much to Ills delight. This time sue wants to meet him on (South Clark street, mid prescribes that he shall have a blue silk handkerchief, and freely uso it on his uu&e. He goes and invests iu a handkerchief, ami at the appointed time is seen lingering in the vicinity of Hamlin's Theatre und wildly flourishing uls new " wipe." llut ho is again disappointed, for further correspond ence shows that Louisa was suddenly culled to 1 tho country to set a dying grandmother. They write again and again, mid no goes to a photog rapher lor hla picture, which he sends her, und again und again lie seeks to meet her, but to no purpose, and now he depalrt of ever meeting her, mid if bo ever does ho will not bo in a lov ing mood. To make a lung story short, mid show how easy It is fur a model young man to bo captivated mid imposed upon, it Is only nec essary to add that "Louisa,"—the beautiful, adored, angelic " Louisa,"—to whom the well meaning young man of the Criminal Clerk’s office bus Indicted so much poetry, und spout so much lime, und so liberally adorned him self with roses and handkerchiefs shut he might become acquainted with her. Is em ployed iu one uf the county offices, und wears an ill-fitting pair of pants, and a slouch hut, and altogether in very awkward and unattract ive In Ids make-up. besides this. "Louisa" chews tobacco, smokes common cigars, und,occa sionally gets on a "bender." lie takes Ids meals at a freu-lunch counter, spurts a inns tuelie, and, all told, is not Just Hie Individual "she "Is thought to be. "Sue" has tier vict im's photograph on exhibition, and prizes It highly.
