Nutritious Baking Powders.
By PROF. DoREMoUs, Of Bellevue Medical
College, N. Y.

Elaborate experiments on the effect of the
residue left by cream tartar and other baking
powders on gastric digestion, showed that the
digestion of albumen by gastric juice was
greatly retarded by the residue which would
be left in biscuit made by cream of tartar
ton of albumen it was observed that the tar
trate residue rendered the mass liable to fer
incentive changes.
That the phosphates can have any detri-
mental influence ON either gastric or intesti-
nal digestion is improbable, since the juices
of the digestive organs contain these salts in
relatively large proportion. Indeed, at one
time, the acidity of the gastric juice was con
sidered by many to be due to the presence of
phosphoric acid in combination. Practically
the ''acid phosphate" as prepared by Prof.
Hosford, has been found to act with great
benefit in some types of dyspepsia.
While there are many baking powder mix
lures of quite dissimilar composition, yet they
have essentially but one office, that of raising
bread. Their action may take place at the
time of kneading or subsequently. They may
possess some advantage in regard to cost or
quantity to be used; in the residue, if there
is any, being either smaller or less injurious
than some other; but in all cases save one,
the element of adding nutritiye character
to the bread is entirely lacking.
Unless phosphate form one Of the ingred
tents of baking powder there is no residue
left of nutritiye value
We are in the position today to select from
among many of approximately equal value in
other respects, a powder (Horsford's Bread
Preparatory, which shall, through the fore
sight of one versed in science, surpass all
competitors in possessing the additional quail
ity of restoring or adding to the -four nutri-
tive misunderstanding american:

Robbed of His Money.

At two o'clock Sunday morning Officers
McDonough and Firth found Michael Muir
ply of Yarmouth in lane leading from Fore
to Commercial street. Murphy had been
seen by the officers earlier in the night in the
company of number of hard characters in
the vicinity of Stafford's block. Murphy told
the policemen that two men had made his
acquaintance during the day and in the eve
ming had enticed him into dark alley.
There one of the men took Murphy's wallet
from his pocket and struck him after which
the pair made off.
Later in the night Officers McDonough and
Frank arrested Isaac Campbell and
Patrick Monahan on suspicion. The missing
wallet was found in Monahan's possession
but instead of the seventy dollars Murphy
said was in it, there was only one dollar. A
bank book and some papers in the wallet
were unframed. Monahan denied being the
thief Campbell had one dollar in money.
The unfortunate Murphy had come to town
partly for the purpose of drawing some
money from the bank and this was the
money he lost.
Last night Campbell stated to the officers
that Monahan took the wallet which con-
tanned four dollars. The two men will APP
pear before the Municipal Court Tuesday
morning Monahan has been in this country
only about three weeks.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
That Now Agitates old Orchard Peo-
pie.

The Old Orchard herald correspondent
writes that paper as follows:
"Just now society is greatly agltated ok st5
the very important question, now snail .n VIZ
Portland Fancy be danced? Shall we clas sa
SEE down the middle or shall we not cnesseA
down the middle? Now this is vital ques-
tion and ought to be settled, but when qanc-
ing doctors insist on disagreeing why VINO -
there left to decided The Sea Shore House
people dance it in the oid-fashioned way !,
and the Fiske House people refuse to chas-
sez and society is rent to its very core. Some
body, little more daring than the rest ap-
preached Prof. Grimmer of the Sea Shore
House orchestra the other evening, and asked
why the Sea Shore didn't follow the fashion
of the other houses in regard to this dance,
andthe modified version of it. Herr Profess
sor who is POrtlander, and remains to all
Portland tradition, replied in his most en-
phatic manner because, sir, we dance the
Portland Fancy 1t is Portland dance, the
man who originated it still lives, and, where
l am, there will it be danced as he made it;
as for the other thing it isn't Portland Fan
cy at all; it may be Old Orchard fancy, and
they may dance it; but we dance the origi-
nal dance" That ended it, and the Sea
Shore contingent still continues to chasSez
down the middle; for it is as true to Prof.
Grimmer as the dear professor is to Port
land. The southern and western people are
sort of compromise between the rollicking
contra dance and the more stately and
formal quadrille, and many of them have
sent for the music to carry back with them,
so as to introduce this down East frolie into
the southern bathrooms"
