A GOOD FIELD FOR CAPITALISTS.

1t is reall y strange that SO many
Eastern capitalists should permit their
millions to lie idle in the vaults when
such favorable opportunities for safe
investments as Idaho affords are Of
fcrcd.
In this Territory the land is hardly
worth more than the government
price of tl.20 per acre; consequently
no one would expect to borrow quite
as much as that, even on paltly-im-
proved land, although it will surely
quadruple in price in the next few
years. The rate of interest is certain
ly high! per cent per month-as
it is more than double what it is in the
East; while the security is much bet
ter. Yet no capital worth mention
ing finds its way here.
This cannot long continue; and the
day is surely coming when capitalists
with sufficient common sense to shake
off the ties that bind them to the old
settled, plodding communities of the
East will see that Idaho offers them q
much more remunerative field for safe
investments than any other region in
the world.

AN IMPORTANT FOOD REFORM.

Production OF Chemically Pure Cream
Of Tartar-Total Elimination Of all
Lime Impurities-New Discoveries In
Refining-A Long Stride Toward
Pure Food.
New York Tribune.l
Discoveries Of much Importance, on
account of the relation they bear to-
ward more wholesome food supply,
and consequently upon the public
health, have been recently made in
the process of refining cream of tartar.
Cream of tartar, as is well known, is
"a bitartratc Of po:assa purified from
the crude tartar, or argol, which col
lects in crystalline deposit upon the
bottom and sides of wine casks dur.
ing the fermentation of the wine. The
tartar in its crude state contains lime
and other impurities, which no process
of refining known prior to that here
described was able to entirely remove.
1t has been possible, it is true, to neu.
tralize tho lime to some extent by
the aid Of chemicals, and this method
was resorted to in order to procure
cream Of tartar in small quantities for
pharmaceutical purposes, but it was
open to serious objection in view of
the fact that the chemicals employed
for this purpose were not always
washed out, but remained in quaint
ties that were uncertain and prejudi-
cial to its quality. The supposed i'm
possibility Of removing the lime has,
accordingly. caused cream Of tartar to
be classcd and sold as pure, when it
did not contain more than five per
cent. of this impurity. The major
part, however, Of that used in COM
mcrce, or for culinary purposes, con.
tans the tartar OF lime to an extent
much greater than five per cent, not
infrequently being found, upon analy-
sis, debased to a degree equaling
one fourth or more OF its entire weight.
In a report upon the subject OF
food adulteration, made to the New
York State Board of Health BY Pro-
fessors Chandler and Love, it is stated
that OF ~ samples of cream of tartar
bought from dealers as pure, 1G were
adulterated with various substances
from 3 to 93 per cent, while of the
remainder all contained tartrate of
lime-some as high as 1899 per cent.
The serious character of this adul-
teration is more readily appreciated
when it is recollected how largely
cream Of tartar enters into the prepa-
ration of the food of every family. In
connection with soda in baking pow
der, it is the chief agent now employed
for raising and making light and di
gestible all our biscuit, cake aud other
pastry, and is besides, in many com.
munities, superseding the old fash.
Toned yeast for all leavening purposes,
so that it is employed to some ex,en,
in almost every meal of which we eat.
The amount of cream Of tartar uset,
in this country in year in baking
powder aud Otherwise in the prepare.
ton Of food, Is estimated at ten mil.
lion pounds. If this were 80 per cent
pure-a high estimate - We would

lime annually as substitute for bread.
So large deterioration becomes APP
probable in the deprivation Of our
food of its nutritive elements, not
only, but if, as is now supposed, this
excess of lime taken into the system
has relation to the painful affections
of the kidneys, SO prevalent in this
couutry, its bearing upon the health
of the whole community is too import
ant to be overlooked.
The new process by which cream of
tartar is produced 100 per cent. pure
that is, with the lime totally elimin-
ated-by treating the crude material
under pressure instead of using any
chemicals whatever for the purpose,
was the discovery originally Of Ger
man chemist, but has been developed
and perfected by the Royal Baking
Powder Company of this city, through
whose efforts few years since, in be-
half of the high standard OF purity
in food, the public was rid of the pois-
onous alum baking powders at that
time so prevalent.
The determination of this company
to place upon the market only abso-
lutely pure goods, and tn eimpossibil-
ity of doing this from tho cream of
tartar of commerce, made it apparent
that some new method must be sought
by which cream of tartar could be
procured in large quantities, free from
lime and chemically pure. The cream
of tartar refiners of this country and
Europe, when approached upon the
subject, declared such result impos-
sible, and declined to incur the expen-
diture necessary to make the trial.
The Royal Baking Powder Company,
accordingly, resolved to solve the
problem for itself, and having secured
the aid of the best chemists of Europe
and America, proceeded with its in
vestigations and discoveries until the
result, after several years of labor and
the expenditure Of over half a million
dollars in the purchase of patents,
perfecting of processes, and the cree
ton of buildings and machinery, was
reached in the complete attainment of
the end sought. The works (now
owned by the New York Tartar Co.,
are located in Brooklyn, and ex-
coed in size and capacity any other
smilat refinery in the world. They
produce a chemically pure cream of
tartar, which is now exclusively used
for pharmaceutical preparations, and
in the manufacture of the celebrated
Royal Baking Powder.
The energy and outlay that have
effected this will undoubtedly be fully
rewarded by the public, which will
chiefly benefit By the successful issue
Of the Investigations. People are
coming daily to more fully appreciate
the value OF pure and wholesome food
BY the exclusive use of this chemically
pure cream of tartar, the Royal Bak
ing Powder is produced entirely free
from lime, and absolutely pure-qual-
tiles possessed by no other baking
powders yet made. A baking powder
entirely free from lime or other i'm
purity, must not only contain more
strength or leavening power, and pro-
duce better food, and therefore be
more economical for use, but what is
more important, possess qualities OF
superior wholesomeness.
Chemists and physicians have looked
upon the experiments with much in.
terest, and regard their success as Z
matter of much importance.
