' How else could you pronounce it ?' ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," was tho witty rejoinder. Speaking of buking powders, a scientific exchange explains that ' tho various baking powders of commerce are employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action «f the yeast. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be meet convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid ou sodiuui bicabonate since in this way salt, which is in any case necessary, is also formed. Another widely-used material is ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudeinaun has, however, found that the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluteu. This result whs communicHted to the Association of Chemists assembled at Washington in August, 1891, and although tho presence of ammonia is not a source of dauger for the consumer nearlv all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammonium carbonate in It is a true saying that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve over,' but at (he same time it is quite as well that we should carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation of food which are not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade ' now done in baking powder, users should be careful to select a good brand and keep to it, for it is ou record that in the United States particularly alum and other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate orgms of digestion are freely used. Whose are good baking powders 1 In settling this question, we must not be too much guided by puffy testimonials couched in very glowing terms, nor—although it is necessary now-a-davs, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its value —rely too much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more so than in the States is the baking powder advertising war raging fiercer. For instance, and to show the extent to which this rivalry exists, we note a reference to" the subject in a recent number of the Oil, Paint, and Drug Reporter. The Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest oaking powder in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammoniacal poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed in a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy advertisements, but test fur yourselves. ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been committed when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials.

' How do you pronounce S-ii-a-h----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n o P-o-w-d*e-r ?' ' I pronouncc it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use.' T. L. White. | [J.
