Paris In Nineteen Hundred

Paris at her exposition in 1900 will probably give fresh strength to the jrowing movement for pure food which was so succc8sfully started at the Chicago Werld's Fair. Indeed the Columbian Exposition marked a new epoch ia the important matter of wholesome oatables. As a result of the decisions of Prof. W O. Atwater, Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the U. S. Department of Agrieulture, and the other scientists assooiated with them, impuro articles of food are being shunned. Eqlightment has broujUt better living. At the very beginning of the fair Dr. Wiley, who had the matter in charge, ruled out aluin bak'ng pawders on the ground that they rere not fit articles to enter into human iood. Leading; phyaicians have emphasized this eondemnation by pronouncing them positively injurious to health. To cap the climax these powders have carried thoir own condemnation, revealing their true characte' in a perceptibly bitter taste they iinpart to food. But the Woi-ld's Fair could approve as well as condenan. Among baking powders, after the most elabórate tests, it bestovved the highest award for purity, leavening power, keeping qual ities and general excellence on Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powdor. Under the ruling of Dr. Wiley at the World's Exposition any one of the following list of alum powders would have been rejected as each of tiiese brands has been subjected to chemical tests and found to contain alum : "Kenton," "Chicago Yeast," "Grant's Bon Bon," "Hotel," "Forest City," "Silver Star," "Monarch," "Eocket," "Home," "Unri valed," "TownTalk," "Loyal," "Snowball," '■Climax," "Western Princo," "Urown," "White Cross," "Imperial,"' "Peerless," "New lira," "Zipp's," "Crystal."
