PORTAGE, Nov. 10-The long and
thorough invuest over the victims, known

Rio, on Oct. 28, was concluded last night,
and verdict rendered by the jury after
twelve days of vigorous effort on the part
of the coroner to secure all the evidence
possible to lead to the full and proper
identity of all those who were killed, and
such further evidence to enable them to
know the real cause of the fatal accident,
upon whom to place the blame and to
hold accountable for the gross criminal
carelessness-that punishment might be
rendered 70 the proper person, to the
satisfaction of the friends and relatives of

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE7

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
baking powder. There can be no longer
question that all the cheaper, lower
grades 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 house
hold gods, there can be no gainsaying
the unanimous testimony of the official
chemists. Indeed, analysis seem to find
no baking powder entirely free from some
of these Objectionable ingredients except
the Royal, and that they report as chem
ically pure We find some of the Baking
Powders advertised, as pure, to contain,
under the tests of Prols Chandler, Habir-
shaw aud others. nearly twelve per cent
of lime, while others are made from alum
with DO cream of tartar. This. we pre-
sumo accounts for their lack of leavening
powder 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 physi.
ologists assure us that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
as this are injurious. They are not de-
composed by heat Dor 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 pound,
lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar
costs thirty-fve or forty. The reasons for
the chemical purity of the Royal Baking
Powder were 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
tartar 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
halfa million dollars, and that they main
tain exclusive control of the rights
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist oil
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, ID. O., in the interests of commerce,
made an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results attained in the
refined cream of tartar The following
extract from his report would seem to
answer the question repeated at the head
OF this article, and which is SD frequently
propounded by the house keeper:
81 bave 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 80 which | have submitted
the Royal Baking Powder prove it per-
fectly healthful, and free from any dele
terieus substance"
