Speaking of baking powders, a scientifits exchange explains that ' the various powders of commerce are employed i to produce mi artificial evolution of carb'iii dioxide, to support that produced in tbe rlnuph by the notion of the yeast. The composition of baking powders varies eonsidernblv. It appears to be moht convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydrochloric , , acid on sotlium bicabonato miico in thin way salt, which is in any casn necessary, is also formed. Another widely-hcmi inate.ial is nmranniuni carbonate. It lihs bepn hitherto , assumed that this substance after aidinjr in milking the dough rise-wns volatilised by the heat of the "oven. Dr. Endemann hue, however, found tfcut the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated to t'le Association of Chemit-ts assembled at Washington in August, ISO I, and ]

«lthoHgli the 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 F baking powder.' ' It in ii true faying that 'what the eye does not see tho heart does not grieve ' over,' but at the same time it is quite as well that we fhould carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation of food which are not healthful. Looking at the I 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 parties larly alum and other chemicals not at sill ij suited to improve the delicate orgins of digestion are freely used. Whose are r 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-a-days, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as ull 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 in- ' stance, and to show the extent to which 3 this rivalry exists, we note a reference to 3 the subject in a recent number of tbe Oil, Paint, anil Drug Reporter. The ' Reporter merrily notes that in one paper ■ the purest baking powder in tho world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all • ammoniacal poisons is dispensed in Now 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 i 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-h»a-b----1 L-A-N-n'.S B-A-K-I-N G P-O-\V-D*E-R ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a ; perfect preparation, healthful, and most

satisfactory to use.
