FIRE AT TURNER,s ISLAND.
The NIilliken House Burned 10 the
Ground.

Yesterday morning flames were discovered
issuing from the second story in the ell of the
large two and half story wooden dwelling
known as the Milliken house. and situated at
Turner's Island, on what is known as Kelsey
street, between the railroad repair shop and
the Cape Elizabeth station.
The house was owned by the Clark &
Chaplin Ice Company and was occupied in the
second story by Mr.. Frederick D. Chaplin,
foreman OF the ice company, and on the first
floor by Mr.. Frank W. Thomes, engineer of
the Eastern Railroad. The flames caught
from the use of fire to thaw ont frozen sink
spout. The occupants of the dwelling tele-
phoned Mr.. ID. w. Clark, who notified Chief
Engineer Cloyes and he went to the fire accom-
panied by Cumberland Steamer No. 3.
When the steamer arrived the house was in
light blaze and the facilities fer getting
water were SO few, owing to the cold wealth or
and the ice, that the house was burned to the
ground, but the great barn adjoining was
saved. Mr.. Thomes told Mr.. Clark he was
not insured but he thought his loss would be
small as he got out his furniture. Mr.. Chaplin
saved most of his furniture; that which was in
the ell was destroyed The house was valued
at $2500, and insured for $1400 in the Pho uix
at the agency of W. D. Little & Co. Mr. Chap

G0Fk state BOHPd OF HHeHIums
Under the direction of the New York State
Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds
of baking powders, embracing all the brands
that could be found for sale in the State, were
submitted to examination and analysis by
Prof. @. f. CHANDLER, member of the State
Board, and President of the New York CITY
Board of Health, assisted by Prof. EDWARD G,

eminent chemist
The official report shows that large number
of the powders examined were found to con-
tain ainm or lime; many OF them to such an
extent as to render them seriously obiectiona-
Bile for use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples
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 SO per cent. OF their
entire weight
All the baking powders OF the market, with
the single exception of "Royal' (not including
tHo hiuul anu phosphate pOHuefS, WHICH were
long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by
prudent housekeepers) are made from the im
pure cream OF tartar of commerce, and conse
quently contain lime to corresponding ex-
tent.
The only baking powder yet found by chemi-
cal analysis to be entirely free from lime and
absolutely pure is the "Royal." This perfect
purity results from the exclusive use OF cream
of tartar specially refined and prepared By pa
tent processes of the N Y. Tartar Co., which
totally remove the tartrate of lime and other
Impurities. The cost of this chemically pure
cream of tartar is much greater than any 9TH
or, and on account of this greater cost is used
in no baking powder bat the "RoyaI"
Prof. LOVE, who made the analyses of bak-
ing powders for the New York State Board of
Health, as we'll as for the Government, SAYS of
the purity AMI wholesomeness of "Royal:"
II have tested package of Royal Baking
Powder. which 1 purchased in the open mar
ket, and find it composed of pure and whole

der of high degree of merit, and does not
contain either alum or phosphates or any pju.
