Mdall's Journal of Halth. “This question has caused a good deal of discussion. Alum is used by bakers to whiten their bread, bling them to use an inferior flour It is most extensively employed as a cheap substitute for cream of tartar in the manufacture of baking pow- ders. It has not been considered immediately dangerous; although if continued it induces dyspepsia and constipation. But the fact that many cases of poisoning have occur- red from the use of alum, puts the question ina more serious aspe and prudent people will exercise cau- tion in the selection of baking pow- ders.” withdraw fror impossible name goes couferences at ena- “Under what conditions then, dces this substance—formerly used only for medicinal purposes—become poi- They are certainly obscure and at present we can only surmise what they may be. We suspect that the cause exists in the individ- ual poisoned; some peculiarity of the producing a morbid change in the secretions of the stom- ach, with which the alum combines the secretions may be healthy but in unusual proportions in combination with the alum constitutes a poison.” “For example, two parts of mer- cury and two parts of chlorine form calomel, which is not poisonous, but change the proportions to one part mercury and two parts of chlorine, and we get corrosive sublimate, which is a deadly poison. souous! constitution and forms an active poison; or Then again we know nothing of the constitutional peculiarities. Why is it that one person can eat all kinds of green fruits and yegetables with impunity, while the same course might cost another individual his life? One person can handle poison ivy and sumac without being im the least affected; another is poisoned if he approaches to within ten feet of them. Out of a family residing in a malarial district, some of the mem bers will suffer half the year with fever and ague, while the others will enjoy excellent health during the en- tire year. Foods that are wholesome to some persons are actually poison- ous to others. This is especially true of some kinds of tish. There is no safely in taking alum into the stomach, as it is shown tobe always injurious, and often dangerous.” * The Scientitic American published ina recent number a list of alum} and ammonia baking powders, which | 1s of great value at this time.

I saw a striped squirrel (chipmunk the first of the season I had leap upon a wall a rod aw suming the customary erect upon the busy himself ‘thing stowed away in his chops. dof a kernel of corn or a nut he took from his mouth an earth worm not than seven inches in length and proportionately large indiameter. I should add, that ordinary food for squirrels was scarce; there had been few acorns or beech- nuts the previous fall, comparatively little grain in the neighborhood, and less than the usual supply of fruit seeds. After holding the worm for a few seconds while he “sized up” my in- tentions, he began nibbling away upon it with earnest relish. When an inch or more had disappeared I advanced to- ward him, thinking he wonld drop his prize as he ran away, but instead of that he carefully tucked it into his cheeks again. To make sure that I had not been deceived, 1 turned to my little daughter of nine years, who stood near me at the time and asked, “What was the squirrel eating?” and she immedi- ately “Why, a fish worm, papa.” I maz have observed a striped squirrel a thousand times I never before saw one eating a worm, or flesh of any kind. I consulted the best observers of the habits of animals in that region, as also books of reference in natural history, but none of these could throw light upon what I had ob- served. The simple explanation prob- ably is, that the squirrel was starved faipleatines food wiienine Waa cclder or never tasted before. —H. H.

Y. Post. HURRIED DINNERS. The Dangers of Imperfectly Masticated Poe It isa mistake to eat quickly. Masti- eation performed in haste must be im- perfecteven with the best of teeth, and due admixture of the salivary secretion with the food cannot take place. When acrude mass of inadequately crushed muscular f cr undivided solid ma- terial of any description, is thrown into the stomach, it acts as a mechanical irritant and sets up a condition in the mucous membrane lining that organ, which greatly impedes if it does not altogether prevent the process of diges- tion. When the practice of eating quickly and filling the stomach with unprepared food is habitual, the di- gestive organ is render spable of performing its proper functions. Either a much larger quantity of food than would be y under natural con- ditions is required or the system suffers from lack of nourishment. The matter may seem a small one, but it is not so. Just as a man may goon for years with defective teeth, imperfectly masticating his food, and wondering why he suffers from indigestion, soa man may habitu- ally live under an infliction of hurried dinners, andendure the consequent loss of health, without knowing why he is not well, or how easily the cause of his illness might be remedied.—Medical Classies necess: Inland Lakes.
