Notices- " Very (in'in : Very Excellent Good." —" As You Lii;e It." " T'TOW do yon pronounce S-H-A-K----171 L-A-N-l'i's B-A-K-I-N-(! l'-O-W----ii-k-ii V"' queried one housewife sf aim-her. ' Shnrliind's Baking Powder,' promptly replied the other. ' How else could you pronounce it ':' ' I pronounce it. ' most excellent,'' was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of baking powders, a seientifin exchange explains that ' the various baking powders of commerce are employed to yiiodiico an artificial evolution of carUnii dioxide, to support that produced in the doiiL'h !>y the action of the yeast. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydroel.lurio acid on sodium liieiibonato since in this way salt, which it in any ease necessary, is also formed. Another widely-uscit r.iate.ial is ammonium carbonate. It lias been hitherto assumed that this stibMancc after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat, of the oven. Dr. Endeinaun has, however, found tkat the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the "luten. This result was communicated to the Association of Chemists assembled at Washington in August, 1891, and although 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 baking powder.' It is it true saying that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve over,' but at the 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 on record that in tbe United States particularly alum and other chemicals not at all suited to improve- the delicate organs 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 "lowing terms, nor—although it is necessary now-a-days, 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 the subject in a recent number of the Oil, Fault, and 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 ammoniacal poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, tbe 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, 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-r----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n g P-o-w-d-e-r P' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use/
