' How else could you j pronounce it ?' ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of bukiug powders, a scientific exchange explains that ' the various baking powders of commerce are employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action of thy yeast. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bicabonate since iu this way salt, which is in any ease necessary, is also formed. Another widely-ueecl material in ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance aftor aiding in making the dougb. rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudemann has, however, found tkat the ammonia is by ne means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated to the Association of Chemists assembled at Washington in August, IS9I, and althoHgh 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 It is a 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 fhould carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation ef food which are not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in° bakingpowder, 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 all suited to improve the delicate organs of digestion are. freely used. Whoso are 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 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 tliis rivalry exists, wo note a reference to the subject in a recent number of the Oil, Paint, and Drug Reporter. The Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest baiting powder in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all atnmoniacul poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed in a very decided n.anner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy advertisements, but test for yourselves, ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been committed when the mind was upsnt by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, mate rials.

' How do you pronounce S-h-a-b----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n g P-o-w-d-e-r ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and moft satisfactory to use.' T. L. White. | [J.
