Ammoniated Bread.

Ammoniated baking powders-that is, bak-
ing powders in which carbonate of ammonia Is
used as an ingredient, and which eXhale an
odor of ammonia when heated-are classed by
many eminent physicians and sanitarians as
superior to all others. Professor Hassel, of
London, who is recognized as highest authority
on the subject of food hygiene, commends in
the strongest terms the use of carbonate of am
monia as a leavening agent, stating its great adj
vantage to be in its perfect volatility, which
permits it to he, by the heat of baking, entirely
thrown into leavening gas whereby the bread
is raised. The experiment with heat would
seem to indicate the superior, not the inferior,
value of such baking powder. The little heat
that is impaired to it when held over gas jet,
lamp. or stove. sufiices to resolve the carbonate
Of ammonia into leavening gas and throw it off.
The first heat of baking, therefore, will effect
ually develop all the gas. thoroughly leaven
the loaf and dissipate the gas producing ingre-
dients OF power of this kind; and this is the
highest test of perfect baking powder.
Where other alkaiies alone are used they are
not infrequentIy retained, unresolved, through
the whole process of baking, and remain an un-
wholesome ingredient in the finished bread.
The carbonate of ammonia cannot be used MS
substitute for cream of tartar. IN. Y. Weekly

hold the October semi annual session at Skowhc-
gan. The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the holiness upon the part of
those Who desire perpctuaion of the drinking
sN stem i'll this state Is largely due to the wiful
neglect and open refusal on the part of prominent
officials IN many executive departments in the
state to perform their sworn duties.
Resolved, That upon the part of the people there
Is no loss of confidence in prohibitory cnictments,
as the only legal methods to eNtermnate the traffic
in intoxicating liquors.
Resolved, That the scattered organizations call
Ell personal liberty leagues, and kindred associ;t-
tions wherever formed, are the direct result Of i,
harmonious union between those who run the local
machine i'll partisan politics and the criminals en-
gagged in running the secret saloon.
Resolved, That the people who made by their
votes prohibition part of the Constitution of the
State, have the power to place upon the Statute
books all necessary cnactments for its realization
and must be held responsible for any failure there
in.
Resolved, That much of the failure upon the part
OF minor executive officers may rightfully be
charged to the lack of aid and sympathy upon the
part of members of temperance societies and
Christian churches.
Resolved, That the Grand Lodge express its
grateful appreciation of the Efforts of those officers
i'll this state who without regard to personal sacri-
fees have 81 faithfully performed their duties du-
ring the past year
Resolved, That we believe that the temperance
people of this State should meet boldly and en-
phaticaly the men who are cndoayoring TO un,ier-
mine the principle Of prohibition and take ali need
tul measures for their defeat.
Resolved, That Il committee shoud be appointed
tn continue the enforcement cf the laws upon the
statute books.
Resolved, That committee of one more shall
be appointed by each subordinate lodge il the
State, whose duty it shall be to that the laws
relating to scientific temperance instruction in
public schools are faithfully and impaltaly en-
forced.

Kansas a Blaine State.

Col. L. A. Smith writes from Leavenworth,
Kansas. to the Boston Journal
Kansas is Blaine State. Threc-fourths, yes,
seven-eighths ofthe Republican voters are the
ardent admirers of Mr.. Blaine. The mention
of his name kndles fire in Republican eyes.
Letters from Republicans on the distant praires
to editors most always have some aifectionate
reference to Blaine. The duIcst orator in the
smallest Republican meeting can win applause
by speaking the word Blaine. And vet the
Republicans of Kansas will support Loyalty any
man whom the convention nominates, and are
DESTROYS to nominate the man whom the New
York Republicans will say can carry that State.
TIE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
Kansas is the Prohibition State. In it the
law is better enforced than elsewhere. In it are
as many steadfaSt Prohibition leaders as in any
State. And yet the most sagacious of these
leaders are opposed to having the National Re-
publican Convention make any declaration up
on the subject in its platform. Temperance
legislation is function O the State and not Of
the nation. When it is claimed otherwise, then
there is an excuse for the third party. Who
will say that this ground is not logical one!
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
This is the second year that women have had
the privilege of voting in municipal elections.
In MANY cities they have exercised this new
function very generally. Tuesday elections
were held in most of the cities and townships.
So far l have been able to observe the
women's voting has elevated municipal politics.
In the larger cities they did not make separate
nominations, but they defeated the men on both
tickets whom they have marked, because they
have not come up to their standard. Oskaloo-
sa. Il small city thirty miles from here and a
very intelligent community, elected women to
the office of Mayor. Council and Police Judge,
making the entire body of that sex. The man
creature is entirely set aside. The experiment
will be watched with much interest.
Many of the readers of the Age like it for
the religious news it publishes. Brooks Cor.
