'' queried one housewife of alio; her. 1 Sharland's Baling Powder,' promptly replied the other. ' How else could you pronounee if g 1 1 pronounce it, ' most excellent.," uMsthe witty rejoinder. Speaking of baking powder.-, a scientific exchange explains thut ' the v:tiions s " baking powders of commerce arc employed to produce an artificial evolution of • carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dotiL'h by the action of the yeast. s ' The composition of baking powders varies c - considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid b> the nation of hydrochloric acid on .sodium bicabonate since in this way salt, which is in any caso necessary, is also formed. Another widely-used material is ammoid iiiuin carbonate. It has been hitherto h1 assumed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatil isecl id hy the heat of the oven. Dr. Endem.inn has, however, found tkat the ammonia is — by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated y. to the Association of Chemists assembled nt Washington in August, IS9I, and ; although tho presence of ammonia is not a ;<1 source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in diseou- ), raging the use of ammonium carbonate in baking powder.' It is a true saying that 'what the eye iu does not see the heart does not grieve re over,' but at the same time it is quite as well that we should carcfully avoid any m articles used in the preparation of food El- 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 on record that in the United States particularly alum and other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate org-ins of digestion are f.-eely used. Whose are good baking powders ? In settling this ~ question, we must not bo too much ? e guided by puffy testimonials eouclied in j._ very glowing terms, nor—alt-hough it is necessary no\v-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, wo note a reference to tho subject in a recent number of the Oil, Ttt'ail, ami Driuj Reporter. The t Reporter merrily notes t.hat in one paper the purest baking powder in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all '' ainmoniacal poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by tin 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 ot us all,' and many a deed, - after- ' wards 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-ti-a-r-L-A-K-Il's B-A-K-I-N G P-fMV-D-E-R ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use.' J" Jg YCR 0F T & Q 0., i.
