The Iodine Trlck.

II Is astonishing toiwhat peculiar methods
people will sometimes resort to enleayor to
advance their own and injure others interests,
One Of the latest and most unfair expedients
is that Of certain manufacturers OF baking
powders, who are endeayOrlng to prejudice
consumers against all other preparation than
their own by exhibiting from house to housed
test purportlng to show theQualltyof various
powders The facts arc, this sO.called test,
which weare toldsimply consists inadding q
little iodine TO sample, Gun In no way reveal
the true value OFF baking powder and isonly
calculated to deceive and prejudice the minds
OF tue ignorant and unwary Some powders
are Injurious, but this can only appear by
analysis. The true value Of q baking powder
consists In the amount OF leavening gas
which Is given off when heat and moisture
are added to the flour, and 1t Is only the
chemist, with the aid ofchemiCal appliances,
who can determine the volume OF gas whl1h
any powder can evolve, We will venture to
say that there Is not mn article prepared for
food that might not be manipulated By
chemical tests to prove that something was
wrong about Il, and when person goes into
u kitchen, or before housekoeper who Is
not to BIO presumed to understand chemical
relations and performs on expert.
nient Of even tho simplest character, II Is
not difficult to impress one that something
awful Is the matter. As to baking powders,
we could suggest dozen tests that would DO
as ridiculous In giving fair Idea Of their rel
atlyo merits to an uninstruCtCd mind MS the,
one here mentioned. The truth Is, that Inc
best test to make Of a baking powder Is 10 try
II inmaklng bread, and SEQ which makes the
most and best To this practical Test ali OF lilo
established brands Of powder have been put,
and housekcepers have very generally made
", their minds which they prefer, and The
iodine testers will find ultimately that house
holds TINT have for years used a iavorite brand
VIII not be apt TO make o change on the test
proposed. Grocer.

Last evenings Pittsburgh Leader Is rather
severe on George WsisseFber, saying;
Nothing has been heard from WelsgeFbeF
since Boil conceded the water clause 70 him,
except that he doesn't want any guide boats
on the course. This Is simply an excuse,
Guide boats can make no difference TO either
party except to aid them TO steer properly,
and Weisgerber knows that full well. Unless
he changes his tune It will have the appear.
ance Of slueal, and II Boil comedies the
guide-boat objection, We venture WeisgerbeF
would have another excuse. This race has
been rowed often enough on paper, let Us
have It take place on water or stop IT.
--Thisis little hard on Fatty, since he con,
coded the guide-bOat proviso on Sunday and
went to Pittsburgh yesterday prepared 70
sign the articles OF agreement as accepted by
Boil. The general Impression among bis
friends here Is that the race will be made I'M
der the articles printed in this paper last
week.
Weisgerber had not heard from Riley
when he left for Pittsburgh yesterday.
