A Question of Health.
What Baking Powder Shall We Use,

This plain question comes home to ev- cry housekeeper. We alldesire pure and wholesome food and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous bak- ing powder. There can be no longer question that all 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 house hold gods. there can be no gainsaying the unanimous testimony of the official chem ists. Indeed, analysts seem to find no baking powder entirely free from some one of these objectionable ingredients ex- eept the Royal and that they report as chemically pure. We find some of the baking powders advertised as pnre to contain, under the tests of Professors Chandler, Habirshaw and others, nearly F 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 sometimes com
 plained of by the cook and for the bitter
 taste found in the biscuits so frequently
 complained of by ourselves.
 But aside from the inferiority of the
 work done by these powders, the phys
 icians assure us that lime and alum taken
 into the system in such quantities as this
 are injurious. Their physiological effects
 are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils. The question naturally arises, why do
 these cheap baking powder makers use
 these thingss Alum is three cents a
 pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of ! tartar costs B or 40. 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 t is only under this process that cream of g tartar can be freed from the lime natural l to it and rendered chemically pure; that : the patents and plant for this cost the e Royal Baking Powder Company about t half million dollars and that they re-
 tain exclusive control of the rights.
 Professor McMurtrie, late chief chem ist of the Department of Agriculture at Washington. D. C., made an examination of this process and reported upon the re. suits attained in the refined cream of tartar. The following extract from his
 lreport would seem to answer the question r. repeated at the head of this article and If which is so frequently propounded hy v the housekeeper:
 a
 ,e Fl have examined the cream of tarta II used by the Royal Baking Powder Co. I, ,e the manufacture of their baking powde
 and find it to be perfectly pure and ire
 from lime in any form. The chemics n' tests to which have submitted the Roy r al baking powder prove it perfectl he healthful and free from every deleteriou n- substance. The Royal baking powder ge purest in quality and highest in sfzcnxt eo os any baking powder of which ! hav
 l1ncwledge." "

Something the Public Should Know

Something the Public Should Know.
 The articles, anonymous and other wise, appearing from time to time in the newspapers, making unfavorable refer ence to Cleveland's baking powder are from rival baking powder company. These articles are intended to counteract, if possible, the letter to the public from Gen Hurst, late Ohio State dairy and food commissioner, in which he states that the Ohio commissions investigation of the baking powders, based upon the State chemists analyses of 30 different brands, proves that Cleveland's isa strict ly pure cream of tartar baking powder, entirely free from alum, ammonia, lime, etc. and that it is absolutely the best and most desirable baking powder msnufac- tured; also, that the Royal baking pow l der contains ammonia and that the Cleve- lands is superior to the Royal in every quality of excellence. Another object 1 sought by our competitors in the articles referred to is to divert public attention from thu scathing but well merited re buke administered to them by Gen Hurst for falsifying his official report in theil effort to bolster up their baking powder when it compares so unfavorably witt
 Cleveland,s powder. It is quite time
 that the public is made aware of the de
 ceptive character of the advertising O
 the baking powder company in question
 While extravagantly advertising thei : powder, they have shrewdly concealed . their use of ammonia in it's manufactur and have consistently maligned Cleve ' land s powder. Cleveland s superior bak
 ing powder has never been made of any thing but purest grape cream of tartar E purest bicarbonate of soda and smal 7 portion of wheat flour or starch and Ina e always been absolutely free from adultel
 ation. This is attested by the leadin 1 chemists in different parts of the countr
 from analyses made of our powder pul chased by them in open market in the
 respective localities, as shown by the : certificates in the circular accompanyin
 each can. We ask the public to sho
 it's disapproval of the despicable adve in Using methods referred to by extendin
 it's patronage to Cleveland's superi,
 baking powder, which has for Is yea
 been first in point of merit as a pure, eff
 Icient and healthful bread leavenir ast agent CLEVELAND BROTHERS, Alb 7 ny, N. !. ;, March, 1888,

The Joy of Returning Summer.

IUe JOy Ui h6tITH1HS OuHIueT. As the springtime with all its beauties Has come and has gone again, | And the fragrant roses of Summer Have followed the April rain We see with an untold gladness Each evidence, great or small, That Winter and Spring have vanished And Summ CTS the queen of all. In Summer the birds are singing From their nests in leafy trees; The leaves rustic back low murmurS, As they hutter in the breeze And Summers the time for all pleasures The time when all Nature sings 4 soft, low psalm, of gladness, In praise of the King of kings.

Little Things.

We call him strong who stands unmoyed- Calm as some tempest beaten rock sa When some great trouble hurls 1t shock; We say of him his strength is proved.
 But when the spent storm folds it's wings How bears he then Life's little things? About his brow we twine our wreath
 Who seeks the battles thickest smoke, Braves flashing gun and sabre stroke, And scofs at danger, laughs at death;
 praise him till the whole land rings. But is he brave in little things? We call him great who does some deed
 That echo bears from shore to shore Does that, and then does nothing more. Yet would his work earn richer need,
 When brought before the King of kings, Were he but great in little things.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of HUMANE
ity is too wretched to merit the ympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less n
than the surgeon or physician by close np-
eNcels IN any other branch of his pro
tession. And fortunately for humanity the dny
is dawning when the false PHILANTHROPY that
condemned the victims of folly or crime. like
the Iepers under the Jewish law to die uncared
for, has passed away.
