ANALYZING THE BAKING
POWDERS.
Royal" the only absolutely pure
Baking Powder made faction
OF the New Work state
R0crn 0f Health

Under the direction Of the New York
State Board Of Health, eighty-four diff
ferent kinds Of baking powders, embra.
cling all the brands that could be found
for sale in the State, were submitted to
examination and analysis by Prof. c.. F.
Chandler, member of the State Board
and President OF the New York City
Board Of Health, assisted by Prof. Ed
ward G. Love, the we'll known late U.
S. Government chemist
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime, many Of
them to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use in
the preparation OF human food.
Alum was found in twenty.nine sam
Piles. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence Of lime is attributed to the
impure cream of tartar Of commerce
used in their manufacture. Such cream
of tartar was also analysed and found
TO contain lime and other impurities, in
some samples to the extent Of ninety
three per cent Of their weight.
All the baking powders of the market
with the single exception of the Royal
mot including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since dis.
carded as unsafe or Inefficient by pru-
dent housekeepers) are made from the
impure cream Of tartar of commerce,
and consequently contain lime to a cor.
responding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis 10 be entirely free
from lime, and absolutely pure, is the
Royal. This perfect purity result:
from the exclusive use OF cream of tar.
tar specially refined and prepared by
patent process Of the N. Y. Tartar Co.,
which totally removes the tartrate o.
lime and other impurities. The cost o.
this chemically pure cream of tartar i:
mach greater than any other, and Or
account OF this greater cost i, is used in
no baking powder but the "Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis o.
baking powders FOR the New York State
Board of Health, as we'll as for the
Government, says of the purity and
wholesomeness of "Royal."
al have tested the package of 'Roya'
Baking Powder which l purchased ii
! the open market, and find it composed
OF pure and wholesome ingredients. i
is cream Of tartar powder of a higt
degree Of merit, and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or any inju
rious substances.

Raw Eggs.

Many experienced breeders, says the
National Ltve- Sfock Journal, testify TO
the beneficial effects OF raw eggs in the
case of scours with young stock. They
may be administered plain, but if any
trouble is found in getting the animals
to eat them, they can be broken up in
milk that has been boiled. One egg
makes a good dose. This remedy has
the great advantage OF being harmless
and wholesome, and is Endorsed by
practical breeders OF long experience.
