thew acted as master of ceremonies in
an efficient manner. The exercises
were opened by Rev. ID. ID. MacLaurin,

did not cease for nearly an hour. After
the plates had been cleared away and the
orchestra had played several of the Scot
tish airs, Chief A. M. Clerihew made
his annual address. For three years it
had given him pleasure to welcome the
guests, he said, and expressed himself
as surprised to see so many Scotch peo-

ScOtch-American gathering. The toast.

FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK.
Oficial Analysis of Baking Powders-Ad-
ulteratIons in Cream of Tartar.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health eighty. four differ
ent kinds of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found fer sale
in the State, were submitted to examination
and analysis by Prof, C. +. Chandler, a
mem Der of the State Board and President
of the New York City Board of Health,
assisted by Prof Edward G. Love, the
we'll known United State Government
chemist
The Off 3ial report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many OF
them TO such an extent asto render them
seriously Objectionable for Use in the prep.
aration of human food,
Alum was found in twenty nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders
TO cheaper their cost. The presence OF
lime is attributed to the impure cream of
tartar of commerce used In their manu-
facture. Such cream of tartar was also
analyzed and found to contain lime and
other impurities; in some samples to the
extent of 03 per cent of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of "RnyaP (not
including the alum and phosphate powders,
which have not the virtue of even an
impure cream of tartar, are made from
the adulterated cream of tartar OF com
merce, and consequently contain lime 10 a
corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysts 10 be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is The "RNyal."
This perfect purity results from the eXclu
sive use Of cream Of tartar specially refined
and prepared by patent processes which
totally remove the tar,rate of lime and
other impurities. The cost of this chem
really pure cream of tartar Is much greater
thau any other, and on account of this
greater cost is used in no baking powder
but the Royal"

Baking Powder is in general use, that the
