antimony, but alloyed with brass it gives

brass, being far less apt to tarnish and much
more easily cleaned. The new White Star

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.

This plain question comes home to every housekeeper. We all desire pure and whole some food, and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer question that afl the cheaper, lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid. As loath 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 ists. Indeed, analysts seem to find no bak ing powder entirely free from some one of these objectionable ingredients except the Royal and that they report as chemically pure. We find some of the baking powders advertised as pure to contain, under the tests of Professors Chandler, Habirshaw and others, nearly twelve per cent. of lime, while others are made from alum with no cream of tartar. This, we presume, accounts for their lack of leavening power as some times complained of by the cook, and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently complained of by ourselves.
 But aside from the iRferiority of the work done by these powders, the physicians assure us that lime and alum taken into the system in such quantities as this are injurious. Their physiological effects are indigestion, dyspep- sia, 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-five 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 new method for refining argols, or crude cream of tartar. It 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 half a million dollars, and that they maintain ex- elusive control of the rights.
 Professor McMurtrie, late chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture at Washing ton, D. C., made an examination of this pro cess, 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 arti- cle, and which is so frequently propounded by the housekeeper:
 'I have examined the cream of tartar used by the Royal Baking Powder company 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 I have submitted the Royal Baking Powder prove it perfectly healthful and free from every deleterious substance. The Royal Bak- ing Powder is purest in quality and highest in strength of any baking powder of which have knowledge"
