Daniel Relilian, of New York city came to Norwalk Tuesday, and getting his infant daughter out of the house of her grandparents,-Mr. and Mrs. John Valieant,of Main street, on the. pretext that he was going to purchase a baby carriage, ran off with her. Since that time no clue to the child’s whereabouts has been obtained. It will be remem- bered that Relihan’s wife died in Nor- walk and that she asked her parents to care for the child. They refused to deliver the little one to the father; on this account legal proceedings were brought. Then the case was dropped by the father and it was thought all differences had been settled. AA‘ Oyster Grounds Bought. Deeds have been filed for record in the Stamford Town Clerk’s office mak- ing an extensive transfer of oyster beds in Stamford water. The transfer is made by William James of New York, to the Anglo-American Oyster Com- pany. The beds affected by the trans-1 action are situated in Wescott’s Cove and off Stamford harbor. They com- prise in all about 25 acres. ‘ ‘ ‘vr Express Business Increased- The business of the Adams Express company has greatly increased since the strike on the wharves of the Con- solidated road in New York was inaug- urated, as many goods are being ship- ped by express in order to insure their prompt arrival in this city. VA Av 7‘ Raid (in Slot Machines. Chief Bowman of Stamford made a. raid on the slot machines Wednesda'y, capturing from a. dozen to twenty, mostly taken from saloons. , A -_ What Do the Children Drink? Don’t give them tea. or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called Grain-O ‘9 It is delicious and nourish- ing and takes the. place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs about 3: as much. All grocers sell it. 150 and 250. The ALUM BAKING Powders Names of Some of the Principal Brands Sold in This Vicinity. The recent discussion in the papers ofthe effect upon the human system of food made with alum baking powders and the opinions that have been pub- lished from noted scientists to the effect that such powders render the food un- wholesome, have caused numerous in- quiries for the names of the various alum powders. In Massachusetts, New Jersey and many other states, of such importance do the food authorities deem the mat— ter, that the name of alum powders are officially made public, and in two states, at least, the laws provide that there shall be printed upon the labels of all packages of this class of powders the statement that they contain alum. Information as to the list here given, has been obtained from the official re— port of the Massachusetts State Board of Health. from the Agricultural De- partment chemist at Washington, and from other equally reliable authority: BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM. DAVIS‘ O. K ......... Contains Alum H. B. Davis & Co., New York. DRY YEAST .......... Contains Alum R. B. Davis Sr. 00., New York. HANLON’S. . . ... . . ...Contains Alum Hanlon Bros, Norwalk, Conn. I. C .................... Contains Alum Jacques Mfg. Co.. Chicago. WASHINGTON ...... Contains Alum Washington Baking Powder Co. PILGRIAI....' ......... Contains Alum Pilgrim Baking Powder 00.. Boston. In addition to these, it is learned that many grocers are selling what they call their own private or special brands. These powders are put up for the gro- cer, and his name put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powder in New York, Boston and elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is said, find their efforts to market their goods in this way greatly aided by the ambition .of the grocer to sell a powder with his own name upon the label, especially as he can make an abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers,- doubtless, do not know that the powders they are thus pushing contain alum and would be actually contraband in many sections if sold without disguise. It is quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market, They are constantly appearing in all sorts of disguises, under all kinds of cognomens, and at all’kinds of prices, even as low as five and ten cents a pound. They can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as pure cream of tartar powders cannot be produced at anything like this price. ——-———-———‘O.o'_—__ Allowed to Go Free.
