What Baking Powder Shall We Use?

This plain question comes home to every
housekeeper. We all desire pure and
wholesome food, and this cannot be had
with the use of impure or poisonous bak-
ing powder. There can be no longer a
question that all the cheaper, lower grade
of baking powders contain either alum.
lime or phosphate acid. AS 10th as we
may be to admit so much against what
may have been some OF our husebOld gods,
there can be no gainsaying the unanimous
testimony of the official chemists. Indeed,
analysts seem TO find no baking powder
entirely free from some one Of these objec-
ti0nable ingredients except the Royal, and
that they report as chemically pure. We
find some of the baking powders adyertis-
ed as pure, 10 contain under the tests Of
Profs. Chandler, Harbirshaw and others
nearly - per cent. Of lime, while others
are made from alum with no cream OF tar
tar. This, we presume, accounts Tor their
lack OF leayening power as sometimes
complained Of by the cook, and for the Bit
ter taste found IN the biscuits so frequent
ly complained OF by ourselves.
But aside from the inieriority of the
work done by these powders, the physiol-
ogists assure us that lime and alum taken
into the system in such quantities as this
are injurious. They are not decompOsed
Dy heat and not dissolved in mixing or
baking. They 90 with the bread, there
fore, into the stomach where their pbysi-
illogical effects are indigestion, dyspepsia
or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things9 Alum is 3 cents pound,
lime still cheaper, while cream Of tar
tar costs 30 or 40. The reasons for the
chemical purity OF the Royal Baking Pow

Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist OF
the Department OF Agriculture at Wash
ingtOn, ID. c., in the interests OF commerce
made an examination OF this process and
reported upon the results attained In the
reiin cream OF tartar. The following
extract from his report would seem 10 an

THE MARCH 70 THE SEA.
Burnside Shown to Have Suggested it to
Halleck in September, 1868.
From tho Providence Journal.


From tho Proodence journal.
WASHINGTON, March ia dispatch
of great historic interest from Gen. Burn
side to Gen. Halleck has been found in
preparing the war records for publica-
ton. 1t is dated at Knoxville, Tenn,
Sept. 80, 1868, and proposes a march to
Atlanta, and thence to the sea, taking no
trains, and cutting loose from the
base Of supplies and living on the
country. This is three months and
half earlier than Gen. Grants let
ter to Haileck on Jan. 10, 1864, suggesting
a campaign from Chattanooga by Atlanta
TO Mobile. which plan after the capture of
Mobile and Atlanta, he modified on Sept.
10, 1864, to march from Atlanta to Au-
gusta. 1t is year earlier than the time
liked in Gen. Sherman's memoirs as the
time when he first conceived his march to
the sea. The material part of Gen. Burn
sides dispatch is as follows. the omitted
portions relating to other movements and
to information obtained about the enemy:

WASHINGTON, D. O.:
My force is concentrated and ready TO move
IN accordance with either Of the following
plans: Third to move on the south
side OF the Tennessee, through Athens. COlum-
bus and Benton, past the right flank of the
enemy, sending a body of cavalry along the
railroad or on Its west side to threaten the
enemy's flank and cover the movements of
the main body, which, consisting of 1000 in
fentry and 5000 cavalry, viii move rapidly
down the line of the East Tennessee and
Georgia railroad TO Dalton, destroying the
enemy's communication, sending a cavalry
force to Rome 10 destroy the machine works
and powder mill ~ that place, the main body
moving rapidly on the direct road to At
lanta, the railroad centre, thus entirely
destroying the enemy's Communications,
breaking up his depot at once, thence moving
to such place on the coast where cover can be
obtained as shall be agreed upon with you.
1t is proposed to take no trains, bat live upon
the country and the supplies at the enemy's
depOts, destroying such al we do not use. II
followed by the enemy. As we undoubtedly
shall be, Rosecrans will be relieved and ena-
bled to advance, and from superior celebrity of
movements and destroying bridges, etc. in
our rear, the chances of occupying and injury
from pursuits are IN our favor. Our chief loss
would probably be in straggiers. / have re-
ceived so little information of the position and
force of Rosecrans that il is proper that you
should decide which of these plans is the best
