A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
What Baking Powder Shall We Use.

This plain question comes home to every house
keeper. 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 powders 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 household gods, there can be no
gainsaying the unanimous testimony OF the Off
cial chemists. Indeed, analysists seem to find
no baking 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, IiablrShaw 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 lcavening powder as
sometimes complained of by the cook and of the
bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently
complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the infcrOrity 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 physio-
logical 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 4 pound, lime still cheaper,
while cream of tartar costs thirty-tive or iarty.
Ih9 rbasQns ilr t,iO 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
or 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 plants for this cost
the Royal Baking Powder Company about half a
million dollars, and that they maintain exclusive
control OF the rights.
Professor McMurte, late chief chemist of the
Department Of Agriculture, at Washington d. T.,
made an examination Of this process, and re
ported upon the results attained In the refined
cream of tartar. The following extract from his
report would seem to answer the question re-
peated at the head of this article, and which Is

IOWA AT CHICAGO.

The parts taken by Iowa men at Chi
cagO convention was such as to reflect
great credit on the state and bring her
into yet greater prominence in the ma
ton. Senator AlliSOns candidacy,
waged well and manfully by his ad-
mirerS, has been digniGed and com
manded respect. AS has always been
characteristic of his public life, ii was
modest so far as he was concerned, but
none the less forcible. 1t was frequent
ly remarked that only the fact that he
is from a safe republican state pre-
vented his nomination. And that is
the penalty for unwaVering, undOubt-
ing republicanism. Well, so be it; it is
honor enough. The majority is con-
tent and happy in that honorable sphere
and glad to know that it has a citizen
statesman 50 eminent and worthy as to
command and deserve the confidence
and respect Of the party at large. Hon.
w, p. Hepburn, one OF the most fOrci-
Bile public speakers in the nation, and
man in whom all Iowa takes a Just
pride, won additional honor in pre-
senting the name of Senator Allison to
the convention. In his speech he placed
a list value on time and not word
was wasted. The occasion was i'm
proved to cauterize with piercing sar-
casm the administration. There was
not a speech made during the cOnven-
ton that surpassed the effort of the
Colonel and but one-that OF Hastings,
of Pepnsylyania,-tha would bear com
parison. While we share with the state
the qualification caused by the Col0nel's
speech. we may mourn with the cooler
Judgment of the Eighth district. We
believe Colonel Hepburn to be man
standing upon the dignity of an honor
able public record, and one who can pa
tiently wait for time to prove the wis
dom of his cOurSe-as 1t surely will,

Mr.. j. r. SOVEREIGN of Atlantic pass
ed through audubon Tuesday en- route
to Marshalltown, where he goes to at
tend the state union labor convention.
Mr.. Sovereign goes in the interest of
the democratic party, in that he is in
favor Of abandoning the union labor
cause and going with the party that is
by its past history and present policy
the worst enemy the laboring man has
to contend with. Only a short time
ago Mr.. Sovereign could not find words
to express his contempt for the democ-
racy, and he warned his co-laborers to
beware of its corruption, but today he
would sacrifice al the union labor
party has attained and all that it hopes
for in the interests OF those he so re-
Gently condemned. Since Mr.. Soyer-
eign SO pronounced the democracy has
not risen from its condition, hence we
conclude that Sovereign has fallen. 1t
will be remembered that he wanted to
fall two years ago, but Col keatley
would not warrant the proper induce,
ment.

Methods of Reducing Flesh.

We Americans used to have the repu-
tation of being thin and why people,
but among women, at least, one hears
just now more queries as to methods of
taking off flesh than of putting it on.
The number OF specialists, mostly women,
who treat women for supeifluous avoir-
dupois Is growing all the time. They
never seem to lack patients. and one or
two drive expensive turnouts and import
dreams of gowns. Each establishment
mas its own method of restoring shape
and comeliness, but they agree in this
one particular, treatment is paid for by
the month and the reduction process Is
timed to your wishes-you may take it
fast or you may take it slow.
IL you are n person of leisure and can
devote yourself to your figure, you are
trained down in three months, though
you may find it difficult matter to sum-
mon strength to walk three blocks when
the business Is fairly under way. If you
can't afford to weaken yourself in such
fashion, the period is doubled, and in six
months or eight months after less vio-
lent measures you may order q gown Of
the waist measure you please, without,
SO they say, suffering inconvenience
meanwhile. 1t is more difficult mat
ter, however, to control wrinkles, which
nearly always follow any successful at
