Notices/exgELLEKTJ " LJ O\V do you pronounco S-H-A-it-XjL L-ArN-D's B-A-K-I-NG P-O-W-D-B-R ? " queried ouo housewife ef anoiher. ' Shurland's BaHng Powder,' promptly replied the other. ' Hoiv elso could you pronounco it ?' ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of buking powders, a scientific exchange explains that ' the various baking powders of commerce arc employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action of the yeuet. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be meet convenient to produce the carbnnic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bicabonate since in this way salt, v hich is in any case necessary, is also formed. Another widely-usett material is ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudemann hue, 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 to the Association of Chumints assembled at Washington in August, 1891, uud although the presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer nearly all tlie chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammonium carbonate iu It is a, true eaying that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve over,' but at (he same time it is quite as well that we thould carefully avoid any articles used iu 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 the United States particularly alum and other chemicals not at all suited, to improve the delicate org-ms 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 plowing 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 valup—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, we note a reference to the subject in a recent number of the Oil, Paint, anil 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 orgsn, 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, 1 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 proniunce S-it-A-E----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n g ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use.' T. L. White. | [J. Bennett.
