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 b2k-
ing powder. There can be no longer a
question that all the cheaper, lower grades
of baking powders contain either alumni,
lime or phosphate acid. AS 10th as we
may be to admit so much against what
may have been some OF our household
gods, there can be no gainsaying the
unanimous testimony of the official chem
lists. Indeed, analysts seem to find no
baking powder entirely free from some one
of these Objectionable ingredients except
the Royal, and that they report as chemi-
cally pure. We find some of the Baking
Powders advertised rs pure, to
contain, under the tests of
Profs. Chandler. Habirshaw and
others, nearly twelve per cent of lime,
while others are made from alum with no
cream OF tartar. This, we presume, aC-
counts for their lack of leavening power as
sometimes complained of by the cook, and
for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so
frequently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority 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
by heat nor dissolved in mixing or baking.
They go with the bread, therefore, into the
stomach, where their physiological effects
are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents a pound,
lime is still cheaper, while cream of tartar
costs thirty-fivc or forty. The reason for
the chemical purity of the Royal Baking
Powder wa recently given in the New
York Times in an interesting description
of a new method for refining argols, or
crude cream of tartar. 1t seems that it is
only under this process that cream of tar
tar can be freed from the lime natural to
it and rendered chemically pure; that the
patents and plant for this cost the Royal
Baking Powder Company about half a mil
lion dollars, and that they maintain eX-
elusive control of the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist of
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ingtOn, d. C., in the interests of commerce,
made an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results obtained in the
refined cream Of tartar. The following
extract from his report would seem to an
swer the question repeated at the head of
this article, and which is so frequently
~propounded by the housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the manufacture of their baking
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure,
and free from lime in any form. The
chemical tests to which | have submitted
the royal Baking Powder proveit perfectly
healthful, and free from any deleterious
subStance.D

An Explanation.

To the Editor Of the Register:
SIR: In your issue of Saturday morn
ing your correspondent Is not in error as
to the amount paid for the use of the Al
hambra Rink by the Republicans on Mon
day evening and the Democrats on Friday
night. But without the facts the public
NAV be misled. The directors of the Rink
Company are not all Republicans. rs
Manager have sole control of the renting
OF the Rink, and in this instance rented
the same to both parties withoute consult
ing the Directors. Had your correspond
ent talked to Mr.. John 5. Naylor, Chair
man of the Democratic County Committee,
no reply from me would be necessary unless
he was DESTROYS of a little political capital.
When Mr.. Naylor spoke to me for the
rink, | told him he could have it during
the fore part of the week for 81, the price
paid by the Republicans. But as Friday
night was our regular night for having
music, and | would have to hire extra
labor to get the rink in order for Saturday,
that / would have to charge $50. Mr..
Naylor will bare me out in this statement.
| was further spoken to by the Republi-
cans for the use of the building on Satur-
day for the Golf meeting. | informed
them that they could have it for $40.

THE BOOM COMMITTEE.
Its Energetic Measures to Capture Mr.

Its Energetic Measures to Capture Mr..
DisstOn Result in Failure.
The DiSStOn Saw Company will not To-
cate its plant in Wheeling. This much
has been definitely ascertained by the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
special committee after a week or ten days
Of energetic work in the line of securing
an interview with the head of
the firm. The gentlemen of the committee
had a good deal of difficulty in
locating Mr.. Disston, but after a liberal
use Of the mail and telegraph, The gentle
man was finally found in Pittsburgh, and
MeSSrs. Hart and Sweeney, of the com
mittee, went up last Friday, Mr.. Disston
was very cordially invited 10 come down
to Wheeling, and was assured of a hearty
welcome, and abundant facilities of all
kinds for the successful prosecution of saw
manufacture. Mr.. Disston gave the
Wheeling gentle men respectful and inter
ested attention, but somewhat dampened
their ardor by announcing that he had de-
termined upon a location at Butler, Pa,
the people of that town having donated
ten acres Of land, exemption from taxation
for ten years, and a natural gas
well. There were some other
inducements Of a substantial
nature inclining him to this ehoiee, one
of them being a desire to locate near Pitts
burgh that he might be handy to a mar
ket for scrap BeSSemer steel. This ends
the Disston enterprise as far as Wheeling
is concerned. W. can only thank the
members of our committee for their deyo-
ton to the business committed to their
charge and hope for better luck next
time.

zen must have resided one year in the
State, sixty days in the county, and must
be bona ide resident of the district in
which he attempts to cast his ballot.

MISCELLANEOUS ELECTION GOSSIP.
The Young Mems Democratic Club will
hold a special meeting tonight, and it is
important that every member be on hand.
Democrats in Union district will observe
their tickets closely in regard to voting for
Justice of the Peace. There is but one
Justice to be elected and Squire w. II.
Davis is the regular Democratic nominee.
1t has been alleged that Col. Ralph
Whitehead, Chairman of the Republican
County Executive Committee, has been
circulating around in great shape with a
crisp fifty dollar bill, which he wants to
put up on Gen. Golf. Since the rumor
got abroad there has been q score of Dem
Ocrats hot foot looking for Ralph and his
fifty dollar bill, but up to this writing he
has not been found.
Let every Democrat do his duty to-day
and tomorrow, and victory is assured.
General Golf is nothing If not egotisti-
cal. For instance, in his Saturday night
speech he said he had carried the banner
of victory up and down the district, and
now. upon the eve of the election, he
brought il hack to Wheeling and held it
up that the voters of the city might in
scribe upon it: "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant
General Golf is rather an artful dodger.
At his Saturday night speech he preferred
to e~ulogize Abraham Lincoln and General
Grant, rather than discuss the live issues
Of the day. OratOry is cheap.

"karl, the Peddler."

Of Mr.. Chas. A. Gardner, the popular
German dialect comedian, who appears
at the Opera House Thursday evening, the
Chicago hter-Ocedn says: Karl, the
Peddler," at the Peoples, opened last
night to a good house, and the amusement
was certainly worthy of a hearty patron
age. Mr.. Gardner is an original comedi-
an, and keeps the house in a continual
mirthful uproar. Like all comedies, the
plot is superficial, but laughter reigns
supreme, and the inimitable songs of the
peddler make up for any deficiency.
There is little room for adverse comment,
and all who want an evening of unalloyed
fun should see "Karl, the Peddler."

THE LAST DAY.
rHB POLITICIANS HANB ANOTHER TWEEN
TY-FOUR HOURS IN WHICH TO WORK.
The Prospects Bright For a Glorious Democratic Vie
tory All Along the Lne-SOms
Pointers for Voters

Although yesterday was Sunday, the
politicians of both parties were hard at
work all over the county, putting the I'M
ishing touches upon their various endeav-
ors to obtain the offices for which they
have been nominated, and seeing that
proper efforts were being made in their
behalf BY their political friends Among
the Republicans the lieutenants to whom
had been delegated the responsible work
of handling the Doodle circulated
around in q lively way, and many
a delegation was piloted through the back
doors of saloons where free beer was dis
pensed to all who were likely to be inttu-
enced in the slightest degree by that sort
of bribery. Last night this feature Of the
campaign was particularly well worked,
and q good deal of money was spent in the
course of the evening.
To-day, the last before the election, the
work among the candidates on each side
will be redOubled, and tonight every pol
itician in town, and this year every
other citizen seems to be a pol
itieian, will be at it tooth and toe
nail. Democrats are cautioned to look
out for all sorts of Republican rumOrs and
allegations during the next twenty-four
hours. Stories Of one kind and another,
without the slightest foundation in fact,
are pretty sure to be set afiOat at the last
moment. No heed whatever should be
paid to them. They are originated for a
purpose, and no one should be caught by
them.
Another thing Democrats should look
out for arc bogus tickets. The town will
be flooded to-day and tonight with all
sorts of fraudulent tickets, each bearing
one or two Republican names, interiected
in place Of the regular Democratic eandi-
dates. Democrats, be on your guard in this
particular. The regular ticket isas follows;
