WHAT Is Ammoniai

The attention of the public has been
called frequently of late to the subject of
ammonia in food" and the matter is
being SO vigorously agitated that it nee
essarily arouses the curiosity of the public
at large, and leads them to ascertain, if
possible, what it is all about. In the first
place the question arises, what is ammo
mia? whence comes it?.
Quoting United States Dispensatory .
"It was probably originally prepared from
putrid urine Other sources are 'icoal
SCOT, state urine, guane, etc. The
Encyclopedia Britannica" says of it:
Carbonate of ammonia is obtained in
largest quantities by the putrifaction OF
the urine of animals, or the dry distillation
of animal matter" ''Roscoe's Chemistry
states that when horns, or clippings oi
hides are heated, ammonia is given off;
hence ammonia was known as spirits ol
hartshorn." ''The name ammonia il
derived from the fact that compound
containing ammonia was first pre-
! pared by heating camels' dung.

Gray Nominated by Indiana Demo
eracy.


INDIANAPOLIS. June 26-The Democratic
state convention was called to order at 10:30
O'Clock by Hon Joseph E. Mcdonald, chair
man of the state central committee. Mr.

A call of counties showed all represented.
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Allen, who
asked blessing upon the grand old Demo

Hon. Daniel W. VOORHEES, was elected
permanent president. He made but a few
brief remarks.
The platform was read by Hon. W. II. Eng
lish and the plank indorsing Mr. Mcdonald
for president was loudly cheered
Following is synopsis of the platform
The Democratic party of Indiana, in con-
vention assembled, renews its pledge of fidel
ity to the doctrines of the party; demands q
revision and reform of the present un
Just tariff, and an adjustment O. its pro
visions within the revenue standard a
will relieve, as far as possible, the neces
ssries ci life from the burdens o
taxation, and derive the principal
amount Of revenue for the support of th'
government, economically administered
from luxuries; and such tariff should be ad
iusted without fayoritism so as to preven
monopolies and thus in effect promote labo
and the interests of the laboring people OF tn

Ammonia is mainly obtained from the
ammoniacal liquors of gas works" Qua
no, the dried excrement of sea birds, and
the urine of animals, likewise contain
large quantities of ammonia" Farmers
know its value as fertilizer, and physi-
Clans know its value as counter irritant
and powerful stimulent All physicians
class it among drugs, and as drug it is
question whether 1t is not better to let
it remain in the hands of physicians and
druggists, and leave it out of our food .
A recent article, called IA Baking Powder
Trick" condemns as a scheme or trick,
the simple method which has been given
through these columns, whereby house
wife may astertain, without the aid of
chemists or chemical apparatus, whether
she is using an article free from disgusting
| ingredients; and after once convinced of
the true source of ammonia, and its pres
ence in an article of food, it is her option
whether the use of it is continued oil
not The test may be a simple one. but
by its means the unsuspecting FIND
that cans of Baking Powder" stamped
on the cover Absolutely Pure" contain
ammonia, and certainly no refined person
who has once read some reliable authority
on ammonia would be likely TO bring home
for use an article containing so inferior g
substance. Baking powders have become
a convenient, useful and important article
in millions of homes, and every manufac'
turer should prepare and sell it only as
conforms to the well known conditions
which insure health and safety. There i,
no difficulty in procuring baking powde
that will stand the test of the oven" tina
does not contain ammonia. If an artiel,
has merit, and has once become established
in home, its merits will always insure i
place there, but if product of daily rs,
through unreliable sources is made to ap
pear better than it is, any means howeve
simple, by which its inferiority may b
judged, ought to be thankfully received
by an intelligent consumer.
