A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
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 baking powder. There
can be no longer a question that all
the cheaper, lower grades of baking
powder contain either alum, lime or
phosphate acid. AS loath as we may
be to admit so much against what
may have been some of our house
hold gods, there can be no gainsay-
ing the unanimous testimony of the
official chemists. Indeed, analysis
seems to find no baking powder en-
tirely free from some one Of the obiec-
tionable ingredients except the Roy
al, and that they report as chemically
pure. We find some of the baking
powders advertised as pure, to con-
tain, under the tests of Professors
Chandler, Habirshaw and others,
nearly twelve per cent. of line, while
others are made from alum with no
cream of tartar. This, we presume,
accounts for their lack of leavening
power as sometimes complained of by
the cook, and for the bitter taste found
in the biscuits so frequently complain
ed of by ourselves.
! But aside from the inferiOrity of
the work done by these powders, the
| physicians assure us that lime and
alum taken into the system in such
quantities as these are injurious. Their
physiological effects are indigestion,
dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powders
makers use these things? Alum is
three cents pound, lime still cheap
er, 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 de-
scriptiOn of new method for refining
argols, or crude cream of tartar. It
seems that it is only under this pro-
cess that cream of tartar can be freed
from the lime natural to it and rem
dered chemically pure; that the pat
ents and plants for this cost the Roy.
al Baking Powder Company about
half a million dollars, and that they
maintain exclusive control of the
rights.
| Professor McMurtrie, late chief
chemist of the Department of Agri-
culture, at Washington, d c., made
an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results attained in
the refined cream of tartar. The fol-
lowing extract from his report would
seem to answer the question repeated
at the head of this article, and which
is so frequently propounded by the
housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream of tar
tar used by the Royal Baking Powder
Company in the manufacture of their
baking powder, and find it to be per-
fectly 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 sub
stance. The Royal Baking Powder
is purest in quality and highest in
strength of any baking powder of
which have knowledge"

Mr.. William NJ. Clements, the eff
cient manager of the lines of the B. &
O. Railroad east OF the Ohio river, has
been elected one of the delegates at
large from West Virginia to the Demo-
cratic national convention. If Mr..
Clements displays the same ability in
politics as he does in running great
railroad and splendid farm in Jeffer-
son county he may be expected to
loom up as Governor or United States
Senator in the State of his adoption.
Baltimore Sun, May 9.
The Sun is the organ of the German
Democracy of Maryland which has
placed Clements In position on the B.
& 0. for political reasons and politi-
cal purpose. He had scarcely finish
ed the ovations gotten up for him by
the boys" when he began removing
the Republicans from important posi-
tions, so that to-day, there is not q
Republican holding an important and
influential position in the employ Of
the company that he could with a
shadow of an excuse remove that
has not been removed. We have
heretofore stated that he had political
aspirations the above fully corrobo-
rates us. He expects to get into posi-
ton in West Virginia so that when
he loses his place on the B. & o. he
can command fat political office, OF
"loom up for Governor or United
States Senator" Are we to have the
political department of the B. & o.
as represented by German and Glenn
ents control our State politics? We
are of the opinion that Mr.. Clements
had better confine himself to running
the great railroad and his Jefferson
county farm. He will never be the
Governor of this State nor Senator
Grafton Edgle-Sentinel.

BLOWN UP BY GASOLINE.

FREDERICK, May 29.-One Of the
most terrible accidents that has ever
occurred in this city happened this
evening at quarter of seven o'clock.
The result Is the destruction of the ex-
tensive retail grocery story of Charles
Edward Zellers. situated at the north
east corner of Market and South Sts.,
the killing of Charles Poole, lad of
about ten years, and the injuring of
upwards of seventy-five men, white
and colored, ranging in age from
twelve to sixty years. AT about half
past six this evening Mr.. Zellers sent
a young lad employed at the store to
draw five gallons of gasoline from a
barrel in the cellar beneath the rear
warehouse, 1t is stated that the lad
in endeavoring to use lantern for
the purpose of doing the work which
he had been sent to perform. acciden-
tally ignited some of the gasoline that
had leaked from the barrel.
COmbustible stuff was stored in the
cellar, and of the ten or fifteen barrels
of coal oil, gasoline and whiskey in
the cellar, it is believed all exploded
but five or six. The wall of the ware
house fronting on Sixth street was
blown over into the street, the roof
was thrown into the yard, and the
entire lower front of the building,
consisting of heavy plate glass doors
and windows, was smashed into
pieces and hurled across Market
Street into the midst Of crowd Of
firemen and spectators. Scarcely had
| 4 L 1frf Of thu
plosion cleared away, than the air
was filled with the cries of frightened
and weeping women, calling for their
sons, husbands and brothers. For
the space of fifteen minutes the scene
was one of the utmost confusion and
| horror.
Many of the brave men who had
entered the building TO fight the
flames emerged from the ruins, cut,
bruised, and with broken limbs, while
the groans of those caught in the de-
bris could be heard for half square.
AS soon as possible, the work of res
cuing the injured and dying was COM
menced. The houses of those residing
in the neighborhood were thrown
open to the unfortunate, and, as soon
as the physicians of the city could be
summoned, the work of caring for the
wounded began. 1t is quite certain
that the quiet people of Frederick
never before witnessed such an awful
scene. Many of those who had been
caught in the debris were able to help
themselves. The fear of another ex-
plosion kept many of those in the
crowd from approaching the scene,
| but in a very few minutes the last
body, that of young Charles Poole
the only one so far whose injuries
have proved fatal, was taken from
beneath the pinions of wood and brick
that held him down. His face ano
form were mashed beyond recogni
ton. The news of the accident spread
over the entire city, and crowds flock
ed to the scene.

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases OF
the Throat and Lungs that any other, II
is probable that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head
causing Catarrh. Now all this is dan,
gerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you must
act with promptness allowing cold to
go without attention is dangerous and
may lose your life. AS soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bot
tie of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

The West Virginia Enterprise, of
Charleston, an organ of the colored
people, thus speaks of the selection of
Rev. G. H. Payne (colored) as dele
gate to Chicago, by the Third Dis
trict Republicans "The selection of
G. H. Payne as a delegate to the Ma
tional Republican Convention by the
Congressional Convention, which met
10 this city Saturday, May 18th, was
an action by the party that binds
every colored Republican to it and its
principles with answering fortitude
and endurance. Such actions will
unite the colored forces with ties more
lasting than time and more endurable
than the cliffs that bestud our noun
tains. This recognition came to us,
not because the party was afraid of
losing our support, for they know US
to be men of principle and not men of
spoil. They know that as long as the
grand old party's banner is emblazon-
ed, as it is, with the emblems of lib
erty and trust, equal rights to all men
and protection to American labor we
will stand by her and bend all our
energies by justice and right to make
her success assured. We look upon
the action of this convention as being
the beginning of better things in the
future. Rev. Payne made a good hit
when he said in his speech after his
election, that he did not thank the
convention for this honor as coming
individually to him, but he was CRATE
full to them in the name and interest
of his people who make up so impor-
tant part of the population of the
Third Congressional District. This
shows so plainly the man he is"
