' JShnrlMiicl'-s Baking Powder,' promptly replied the iittier. ' llow t'lsu could yoi pronounce it ?' ' 1 pronounce it 1 most excellent,' whs the witty rejoinder. Speaking uf bilking powders. a scienti lie. exchange explains that ' the vaiiou baking powders of commerce arc employe* to produce an artificial evolution •< carbon dioxide, to support that producec in the dough by the notion of the yeast The composition of baking powders varie: considerably. It appears to be most con venieut to produce the carbonic acid b; the action of hydrochloric, acid on sodhiit bicabouate since in thin way Milt, vhicJ is in any ease necessary, is also formed Another widely-used mate.-ial is amino nitim carbonate. It has been hithcrt( assumed that this substance after aidint in milking the dough rise was volatilisec by the heat of the oven. Dr. Endemani has, however, found tl..at the ammonia i: I)}' no means all removed, but remain: more or less completely united with tin "•luten. This result was communicatee to the Association of Chemists assemblet at Washington in August, 1891, tux although the presence of ammonia is not.i source of danger for the consumer nearly all the ehcinists present agreed in discou raging the use of ammonium carbonate ii baking powder.' It is a true saying that 'what the eyi does not see the heart does not grievi over,' but at the same time it is quite a well that we should carefully avoid an; articles used in the preparation of foo( which are not healthful. Looking at tin enormous trade now done in baking powder, users should bo careful to eelec a good brand and keep to it. for it is oi record that in the United States particu larly alum and other chemicals not at al suited to improve the delicato orgms o digestion are freely used. Whose ari good baking powders ? In settling thi; question, wo must not be too muel guided by puffy testimonials couched ii very glowing terms, nor—although it i necessary now-a-dnvs, in order to maki any good preparation known, to advertisi freely until such time as all possible eon sumers are practically acquainted wit! its value—rely too much on nowspape advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, mori so than in the States is the baking powde; advertising war raging fiercer. For in stance, and to show the extent to wbief this rivalry exists, we note a reference tc the subject in a recent number of thi Oil, Faint, and Drug Reporter. Thi Reporter merrily notes that in one pape: the purest baking powder in the world i: made in Chicago, and the vilest of al ammoniacal poisons is dispensed in Ne« York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, thi verdict is reversed in a very decided man ner. Do not, therefore, be altogether lef away by flashy advertisements, but tes for yourselves. ' Indigestion doth maki brutes of us all,' and many a deed, after wards bitterly repented, has been com mitted when the mind was upset by fooc made with faulty, not to say injurious materials. ' How do you pronounce S-HvA-R r.-A-N-n's B-a-k-i-n g P-o-w-d-e-r ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is i perfect preparation, healthful, and mos satisfactory to use.' J gYCR 0F T & QO.
