AMMONIA
 IN THE ROYAL" BAKING POWDER,

I do not find in practice to produce any good effect in raising the bread, and should not, therefore, consider its presence as desirable. If, then, we accept Dr. Ioves standard of commercial value, these two powders are both worth 50 cents, with the additional advantage of purity, or freedom from ammonia, on the part of " Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder :" We feel called upon, in justice to ourselves and the public to give the above facts, as the article denominated 'tKitchen Economy" was published apparently as disinterested infor- mation, intended for the public good, where e in fact it was an advertisement of the Roy. q Baking Powder Company.

HECK ER'S PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 S1:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand (75, ,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com- missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known .0nlyto the commissioners twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is tmitted to an imnartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so empbat- icalHy expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

DUBLIN, July 26.-At the weekly meet
ing of the Land League tonight, it was
announced that 924 had been received
from America during the week. James Red
path delivered violent speech in which he
characterized Sir William Harcourt's state
ment that John Dewey was an agent of the
League as deliberate lie, and alluded to
John Bright as a renegade. He said he
had only opposed Fenian schemes in Amer
ica, because he did not see how it was pos
sible to conquer England by revolution at
present. Redpath concluded by calling
Sir William Harcourt liar, slanderer and
coward, and William E. Forster, an infa-
nous Quaker.
