'How else ijnulil you pronounce it ';' ' 1 pruii'iuiK'i.' il ' most excell'nt," was tlio witty rejoinder. Spvakiii'.r of bakinir powders. ;i scietitilir- exchange explains that ' the vaiious baking powders of commerce are employed to produce an artificial '-volution of e.'irb'in dioxide, to support thai, produced in thed.iugh by the ae.tion 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 hydrochloric acid on sodium hicalnn-ite sinec in this way salt, which is in any caM> necessary, is also formed. Another widely-used material is ammonium carbonate. It lias been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the "oven. Dr. Endemami has, however, found tif.at the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the "lutcn. This result was communicated to the Association of Chemists assembled at, Washington in August, 181)1, 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 a true saying that 'what the eye does not see the heart does not <jriovo over,' but at the same time it is quite as well that wo should carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation of food which are not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in bakingpowder, risers should be careful to select a good brand and keep to it, for it is on record that in the United States particiis lnrly alum and other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate organs of digestion arc freely used. Whose are good baking powders ? lu settling this question, wo must not be too much guided by puffy testimonials couched in very flowing terms, nor—although it is necessary no-.v-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 iu 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, I'fiin/, anil JJrwj 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 ammoniaeal 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 lest for yoursclvs. ' 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-k---1.-A-S-p's B-A-K-I-N ('. P-O-W'-DsE-R ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. Itisa perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use.'
