' .Sliiirliind's BaVinff Powd.-r,' promptly replied the other. ' How else could you pronounce it ?' ' 1 pronounce it ' most excellent," was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of b;ikini< powders, a scientific exchange explains that ' the various baking powders of commerce are employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the doufih by the action of the yea*t. I'ho composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to bo most convenient to produce the carbonic ac'd by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium Ijicabonato fince in this way salt, whiah is in any case necessary, is also formed. Another widely-wed iaate/iiil is ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this subi-taiice after aiding in milking the dough rise was volatilised by t-hc heat of the oven. Dr. Endemuun has, however, found tkat the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains moro or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated to the Association ofChornii-ts assembled at Washington in August, IS9I, and although tho presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammonium carbonate in baking powder.' It is a true saying that ' what the eye does not see tho heart does not grieve over, 1 but at tho same time it is quite as well that we should carefully avoid any articles used in tho 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 in on record that in the United States parties larly alum and other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate orgins of digestion are freely used. Whose are good baking powders ? 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-n-dnys, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until suoh time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its value—rely too much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more so than in tho States is the baking powder advertising war raging fiercer. For instance, and to show the extent to which this rivalry exisU, wo note a reference to the subject in a recent number of the Oil, Faint, ami Drug Reporter. The Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest baking powder in the -world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all aminoniaciil 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 for yourselves. ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been committed when tho mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do you pronounce S-h-a-r----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n o P-o-w-d-e-r ?' • I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use. , T pYCROFT & pO., (LIMITED) Nolily the Public that they are now MANUFACTURING A NEW PORRIDGE MEAL Which supplies in an exceedingly pleasant form the ELEMENTS GF POOD REQUIRED TO SUPPLEMENT THE USE OP PUEE WHITE FLOUE And should be eaten by EVERYONE THE YEAR ROUND.
