Bogus Baking Powder Tests.

Rather ingenious but not less fraud
ulent are the pretended tests of baking
powder being made in many of our
kitchens by agents who are trying to
further the sale of Chicago article.
These so-called tests consist in mixing
separately, with water, sample of the
baking powder found in the house and
of that carried by the agent. From
that found in the house, if a pure
article, the bubble of gas will rise and
burst on top like those from glass
of champagne. The Chicago baking
powder which they carry, when mixed
with water, will show an extra froth
upon the top of the mixture which is
claimed as evidence of superiority On
the contrary, however, it IS not only
the exhibition Of a trick, but il is alb
solute proof that the baking powder
which so acts is adulterated. The
chemists have ascertained that the
adulterant used is chemical added
for the express purpose of producing
this action and deceiving hOusekeep-
ers as to the true value of the baking
powder. This is not only dishonest
trick, but dirty one, for the chemical
is the product of the filthy refuse of
the slaughter house, and if this baking
powder is used in the preparation of
food passes into the biscuit or cake
without change. OF course any state
ment made by other baking powders,
by parties caught in practicing such
tricks as these for the purpose of de-
ceiving the public, will be entitled to
no credit.
1t is probably wisest in the interest
of our families, and to prevent our
food from being contaminated by this
kind, to turn all persons who wish or
attempt to tamper with 1t uncremo-
niouSly from the door, and to use those
articles only which experience has
proved satisfactory, or the official tests
have established as pure and whole
some.

The first substantial step, however, was
the Ssengerfest OF 1870. The North
American S@ngerbund held its meeting
here In q building specially erected for
that purpose. Then came Theodore

6rst May Festival was given. It was
followed by another in 1873. Then Mr..

sixteen months. Several directors have
