SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD 1 Wblh ll??fkrr?rri HktaU Bar roily ItaiMer. A serious (lunger menace* the hen 1th of the people of this country ia the numerous nluni baking powder* that are uuiv being urged upon tho public. There is no question as to the detri mental effect of these powders upon the system. Every Hoard of Health, evory physician, will tell you of the uuwholotsomc qualities they add to tho food. Some countries have absolutely prohibited the salu of bread containing alum. Even small doses of alum, given to children, have produce I fatal results. ' while eases o( heartburn, indigestion, griping, constipation, dyspepsia, and varit us kindred gastric troubles from irritation of thu mucous incnrbrano, caused by the continuous use of food prepared with the alum or alutn phosphute powders, arc familiar iu the practice of every physician. It is not possible that nny prudent housewife, any loving mother, will knowingly use an article of food that will injure the health of her household, or perhaps cause the death of her children. flow shall the dangerous aluin powders j lie distinguished? And how shnll the I danger to health from their uso bo avoided 1 rSi>?><'n?Hy, alum powders may he known from the price at which they are sold, or from the fact that they are nee ?mpnnicd by a gift, arc disposed of under some scheme. The alum powder costs but a lew cents a pound to int.kc, and is ofteu sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound price may he 50, 10 or 50 cents n pound. It is impossible to name all tho alum powders iu the market, but any bakiug powder sold at a low price, or advertized its costing only half as much as cream of tartar powders, accompanied by a present, or disposed of under nuy scheme, is of this class, detrimental to health, and to be avoided. 15ui the easy, safe, and certain protection of our bread, biscuit ami cake from all danger of uuwholcsomcncss is in the use of the ltoval linking I'owdcr only. This powder is mentioned because of the innumerable reports in its favor by high medical authorities, by the U. S. Government, and by the oilicial chemists and Hoards of Health, which leave no doubt as to its entire freedom from alum, lime ami ammonia, its absolute purity aud wholcsonicncss. While its use is thus a safeguard against the poisouous alum powders it is satisfactory ai the same time to kuow that it makes the whitest, lightest, sweetest and most delicious food, which will keep moist and fresh longer, and that can be eaten with imniuuity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and also that owing to its greater strength it is more economical than others. These facts should incline consumers to turn a deaf car to all importunities to buy the inferior powder. If a grocer urges the sale of the cheap, impure, nlun; brands, it should be borne in mind that ii is because lie cati inukc more Drofit on them. The wise housekeeper will decline iu all cases to take them. Take no chances through using a doubtful article irhere so important a matter as the health or life of dear ones is at stake.

A Nnmbrr o( Oncer Olthos WfW SerTcd-Katlilff With Chop Stlukt ?Tea Krce as Water. ONE ol tbo Now York 8nn rejxirter* visited Chlnatowa with a party of friends and tried Chineso dinner. One of th? party, who used to frequent the fa'nout Chinese restaurant in 8au Francisco and was familiar with the dishes and th< routiuc of a Chineso dinner, summoned a waiter, a small individual, whost American clothes sat upoa him vert badly. Tho waiter brought a small disb of sweet pickle and a butter diih coo taining a small quantity of a browi sauce resembling Worcestershire. Tlui is the Chinese condiment and is ex ceediugly salt. It is called see ou. 11< also brought csch a bowl of steame< rice, surprisingly white an 1 dry, and sc cooked that each grsin was wholo anc separate. The tea came next in a smali ware pot, with bowls tho sixo of egg cups to di ink it from. All this was pre liminnry. "Give us some chow chopsuy, John,' said the guide. "Forty cents, sec?"' The Chinaman grunted aud dirap pearcd iu tho kitchen. "You must always indicato the amount you want of each dish by stating tin price," said the guide. "I ordered forty cents' worth of chow chop suy, as thai will be enough for us both. Whilo thej nro preparing it, for it takes a litth time, wc wilt eat some .m Witti chop mitsj. Wot is wrr Vrread." Eating with chop sticks is not so difficult a mntter as most pooplo suppose, There is a popular idoi that a Ohitmmar takes a stick iu each hand and propel tho food into his mouth in some mys tcrious process peculiar to himself. \Yhoi the knack is ouce acquired, however chop sticks prove au efficient tabl utensil, The sticks are a foot Ion*, one half squnrcd, tho other rounded au< sharpened. They can be so gripped by their squire ends between tho thumb and first fin ire of tho right baud, and steadied and di rccted by tho lingers, as to becomo ai excellent pair of tongs Tnat is what ii fact, they are in tho lmiid of the diner Chop sticks are simply ft single advanc over primitive m m's first table tool, th< thumb and lirst linger. The cliow chop suy was brought steam i ii.g hot in a large bowl. It appcircl t< I be a stew without gravy. T.ic princips I ingredients were chicken livers, Aineti I can mushrooms, dried Chinese musb rooms, celery, gizzards, and sproute rice. Tho whole was flavored wit spices and had evidently been trcato< with oil. No plates were served, and tho ste was catcu Chinese fasuion, from tfc bowl. 4iA very excellent dish," said tb guide, 4,but don't eat too heartily, ft wo have several other coursos coming This sprouted rice that you can seo i tho bowl is deemed very fine by Chine! epicures.

Perfumed pork was tho nearest ap proach to civilized diet which was served it was sliced into thin pieces and brough in a bowl. Tho llesh was lean and ten der and had an exceedingly delicat flavor produced by unfamiliar spices. Meantime the crowd in tho rostauran was continually changing. As fast as th diners finished they arose, wiped thci fucos on their hands (there were no nap kins), shuttled to the counter, paid thoi bills, and left the room. Tlioy sehlon spoke, and most of the time the root was as silent as a Quaker meeting. Th places of thoso who left were tilled b; now-comers. The restaurant does a bij business. "Waiter," said the guide, "chow ga men, seventy cents. 8ee?" Tho little waiter uttered his customar grunt and vanished. "Chow gai men," continued thi guide, "is one of tho dainties.

For thai amount of money a very excellent -tinner can be had, for rice is only five i rnts a bowl and tea is nothing. One 01 i wo nice dishes can be bought for half t dollar. So cheie you arc." "But many of these Chinamen," said the reporter, "bavo eaten nothing but nee." ."Yes, hundreds of Chinamen in this city eat nothing else than rico the jear round. You see hour cheap John caa 1 I * I uro 11 ne wants 10. lie comes hore and ordors a five-cent bowl of rice. He gets all the tei he wants for nothing. It costs him fifteen cents a day to live.
