The ('onijiosilion of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bieabonate since in this way salt, ivh:ch. is in any case necessary, is also_ formed. Another widely-used material is ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatihsec. by the heat of the oven. Dr. Endernann has, however, found tl-.at the ammonia is by "no means ail removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicatrd to the Association of Chemists assembled at Washington in August, 1891, and althoHgli 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 ' w hat 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 of food which arc not healthful. Looking- at the enormous trade now done in baking powder, nsers 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 orgins of digestion are freely used. Whose are good baking powders 1 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-davs, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as nil possible consumers are prac-tic illy acquainted with its value —rely too much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere perhaps, mi,re so than in t.ho 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'd in I, nii/l Tint!/ Reporter. The Reporter merrily notes that in ona paper the purest Daking powder in the world is i made in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammoniac*l poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed iu a very decided n anner. 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 r' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use.' W. SOUTER & CO.
