Taking Care of the Baby.

A baby that is not kept perfectly sweet and
fresh loses half its charm, and is defrauded
of its just rights. 1t should be bathed in
warm water every morning, and, as it grows
older, the temperature gradually lowered
until at months old, the chill is Just taken
off the water Most babies love their bath.
and are more apt to scream at being taken
out of it than when put into it. If there is a
shrinking from the plunge, a small blanket
can be spread on the tub the child laid on it,
and gently lowered into the tub. At night
it should be held on the lap and quickly
sponged with sponge, wrung out of warm
water. Its mouth should be washed with a
soft piece of linen dipped in cool water All
creases where the flesh touches should be
powdered with pulverized starch, or any
good toilet powder. This is most important,
and must never be omitted, as the delicate
skin easily chafes. Where there is redneSs.
or any symptom of chatting, lycopodium
powder should be used; it is most healing,
and can be applied even if the skin is broken.
When there are frequent discharges, the
parts should be washed in thin, boiled starch
instead of water. 1t is criminal neglect to
allow baby to suffer from chatting.
The head requires particular attention No
daintiness in other respects can atone for the
disfguring brown patches which are some
times allowed to remain there. The top of
the head should be well washed with soap
and water every morning If, in spite Of
this, traces of scurf appear, the spots should
be rubbed at night with olive oil, and gently
scraped off in the morning. If the applica-
tion is not successful, it should be repeated
until it is. But there will be little trouble if
the matter is attended to when the brown
flakes first show themselves

Food Tests in New York
OFFICIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING pow
DERS-ADULTERATIO IN CREAM
OF TARTAR.

Under the direction of the New
York State Board of Health, eighty
four different kinds of baking powders,
embracing all the brands that could be
found for sale in the State, were sub
mitted to examination and analysis by
Prof. c. F. Chandler, member of the
State Board and President of the New
York City Beard Of Health, assisted by
Prof. Edward G. Love, the well known
United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime many
Of them to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use in
the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper their cost.
The presence OF lime is attributed to
the impure cream of tartar of COM
merce used in their manufacture. Such
cream of tartar was also analyzed and
found to contain lime and other inn
purlties; in some samples to the extent
of 93 per cent of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the mar
ket, with the single exception of
Royal y mot including the alum and
phosphate powders, which have not
the virtue Of even an impure cream of
tartar), are made from the adulterated
cream of tartar of commerce, and con-
sequently contain lime to a correspond
ing extent.
The only baking powder yet found
by chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure is the
"Royal." This perfect purity results
from the exclusive use of cream Of tar
tar specially refined and prepared by
patent processes which totally remove
the tartrate of lime and other impuri
ties. The cost Of this chemically pure
cream Of tartar is much greater than
any other, and on account of this
greater cost is used in no baking pow
der but the Royal"
Prot. Love, who made The ANALYSIS
Of baking powders for the New York
State Board Of Health, as well as for
the Government, says Of the purity and
wholcsom'n's s. Of the "Rcyal":
Il iad he Royal Baking Powder
composed Of pure and wholesome in
gredients. 1t is cream Of tartar pow
der Of a high degree Of merit, and does
not contain either alum or phosphates
or other injurious substance.

1t is highly satisfactory to the house
keepers of this vicinity, where the
Royal Baking Powder is in general
use, that The Investigations by the
analysis in Massachusetts, New York
and Ohio, the only States that have
thus far taken action upon this impor-
tant subject, agree in chasing it as the
purest and most efficient baking pow

his money bag under the image of the

Life, all sunshine without shade, all
happiness without sorrow, all pleasure
without pain, were not life at all-at
least, not human life. Take the lot of
the happiest-it is tangled yarn. It is
made up of sorrow and joys, and the
joys are all the sweeter because of the
sorrows; bereavments and blessing, one
following another, makes us sad and
blessed by turns. Even death itself
makes life more loving; it brings us
more closely together while here.

vary greatly in size and form, some being
large and clumsy, while others are quite
small and graceful, with slender, deer
