MISCELLANEOUS.
What Baking Powder Shall We
Use?

This plain question comes home to
every house-keeper We all desire
pure ana wholesome food, and this
cannot be had with the use OF impure
or poisonous baking powder. There
can be no longer question that all
the cheaper, lower grades of baking
powders contain either alum, lime or
phosphate acid. As ieath as we may
be to admit so much against what may
have been sotiie of our household gods,
there can be no gainsaying the unan-
imous testimony of tie official chemist.
Indeed, analysts seem to find no bak-
ing powder entirely free from some
one of these objectionable ingredients
except the Royal, and that they re-
port as chemically pure. We lind
some of the baking powders adser-
tised as pure. to contain, under the
tests of Professors Chandler. Habir-
shaw 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 leayening power as sometimes
complained of by the cook, and for
bitter taste found in the biscuits so
frequently complained Of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiority 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 physiological effects are indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, or verse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder makers
use these things Alum is three
cents pound, lime still cheaper,
while cream of tartar costs thirty-five
or forty. The reasons for the chem
icai purity of the Royal Baking Pow
der were recently given in the New
York Times in an interesting descrip-
ton of q new method for refining ar
gois, or crude cream of tartar 1t
seems that it is only under this pro-
cess that cream of tartar can be freed
from the lime natural to it and rem
dered chemically pure; that the pat
ents and plant for this cost the Royal
Baking Powder Company about half
u tIO
tain exclusive control of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief
chemist of the Department of Agri-
culture, at Washington, ID. c., made
an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results attained in
the refined cream of tartar. The
following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question
repeated at the bead of this article,
land which ssofreaneRtiSyp ypropounded
by the housekeeper.
II have examined the cream of
tartar used by the Royal Baking Pow
der ompany in the manufacture OF
their baking powder, and find it TO be
perfectly pure and free from lime in
any form. The chemical tests to
which I have submitted the Royal
Baking Powder prove it perfectly
healthfuI and free from every delete
rious substance. The Royal Baking
Powder is purest in quality and high
est in strength Of any baking powder
| of which I have knowledge"

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the Surplus in
the U. S. Treasury engages the at
tcntion of our Statesmen, but a more
vital question has our attention, and
that is the reduction of the Surplus
Consumptives. Since the discovery
and introduction of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, there has
been marked decrease in the NOR
tality from this dreaded disease, and
it is possible to still further reduce
the number of Consumptives. How?
By keeping constantly at hand bot
tie of DR.. Kings New Discovery and
using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as Cough, "a Cold "a sore Throat,
Chest, or Side Pain. Taken thus
early a cure is guaranteed. Trial

A HORRIBLE DEED.
Two Brothers Shoot Each Other at
BlackfOOt.

PocATELLo, Idaho, November s.
Especial to THE HERALD John Hutch
ingson fatally shot his brother James
shortly after 4 o'clock, at Blackfoot
to-day. The ball entered the top Of his
head and lodged in the base of his skull.
John was shot through the left ear.
Four or five shots were exchanged.
John surrendered himself. Bad feel
ings have existed between them for
some time. 1t is said that James had
threatened to kill John on sight. The
former entered q soloon where the
latter was, and both began firing with
out speaking word. John is said to
have fired the first shot. Both are
splendid shots. Sympathy is largely
with the surviving brother. James
was married ard had a family. His
brains were oozing from the wound,
which was a terrible one. Both were
raised in Utah, where their parents, it
is said, still reside.

LOCAL BRIEFS.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT JOHN r. BROOKE,
commander of the Department of the
Platte, who has been in Salt Lake for
two or three days, leaves for Omaha
this morning. he inspected the troops
at the Fort on Friday. While here be
was the guest of Major Parke, at
present commanding officer at the Fort,
IN the absence of Colonel Blunt. He is
accompanied by Lieut.. Truitt, aide-d de-
camp. Col. Robert Ii. Hall, department
inspector, who has also been in Salt
Lake for few days past, will remain q
few days longer.
On THURSDAY, as John Ealford was
rowing about the mouth of the Jordan
in Salt Lake, duck hunting, he came
upon human skull imbedded in the
sand. The place where 1t was found is
about half a mile out in the lake and
west of the mouth of the river, on O.
sand island which is under water about
half the time. The skull, which is of
very large size. was brought to The
HERALD Office last evening. The Salt
water has washed it perfectly white.
and the under jaw is detached from the
upper one. The teeth are mostly in a
good state of preservation. Nothing
else was found, though Mr.. Halford in
tended revisiting the spot and making
fu2 ther search.

VOTE FOR GAME.

The HERALD has the most implicit
faith in the patriotism, the wisdom and
the good common sense of the people of
Utah. We know that they are true to
the Territory, true to their friends and
true to them selves. Because of our
knowledge of the good people of this
Territory, we expect them all to do
their duty, politically, next Tuesday.
That duty is to vote for John T. Game
for Delegat e to the Fifty-frst Congress.
For six years, Mr.. Game has served
the community in the National Legis
Iature, and in Congress during thai
time there has been no truer member
than he; there has been no man who
has labore1 mor3 console I ously or
more faithfully for his constituents; he
has ever been at his post, and has
never neglected work that should be
done; person from Utah has ever
applied 20 him in vain for any legitim-
ate ser ice. In the broadcast and best
sense of the words he has been the re-
preventative and servant, not of class
or party, but of the people of U tab. Hav-
ing been no minated for reelection it is
the duty. as we are confident it will be
the pleasure of the people to send him
back 20 Washington with such popu-
lar endorsement as will strengthen mis-
hands for good and increase his power
and influence for the benefit of loved
Utah. We don't believe any friend of
the Territory will want to reProach him.
self with having failed TO vote for the
choice of the masses, for the man who
more than any ether at this time is
qualified to perform the srduous and
important duties of Delegate.
AS set out in Mr.. Gaines address
printed elsewhere in this issue it has
been impossible for him to 20 among
the people and do any campaign work.
THE HERALD dos not think that fact
will affect a single voter. 1t should
not. The people are blessed with wis
dom and good sense. They know Mr..
Caine, and they also know it will be for
their individual interests, as it will be
for the general elfare of the Territory,
to cast their ballots for him. By giving
Mr.. Game larger majority than they
gave him two years ago, the people will
show their own wisdom and prove their
faithfulness and loyalty to Utah.

PERSONAL.

E. W. JONES. of Huntington, went
home yesterday.
R. HOWE, of South Cottonwood. was
about town on Saturday.
HEBE GODDARD goes south this morn
ing, TO Gunnison where he meets Miss
Hattie Kearns, of that place. The
twain then proceed on to the Manti
Temple, whence they will emerge as
one and indissoluble. Our best wishes.
Mr.. L. Snow, JR., of Brigham City, is
in town and has recently purchased a
number OF bargains II real estate. Mr..
Snowis one of our representative young
men who is fully awake to the fact that
Salt Lake is destined to become the
great city of the inter mountain region,
and is improving the present favorable
time to invest in realty. Mr.. Snow will
doubtless realize handsomely on his
investments.

THE ARID LAND SURVEY.

The present Congress has not done
much that is commendable or that will
prove beneficial to the nation, but it did
one thing which ought to be the begin
ming of much good. It appropriated
100000 for the survey of the arid land
region with the view to the adoption of
q system of water storage for irrigation.
OF course this sum will not be sufficient
to pay for the work; indeed, it will little
more than start it, and indicate what
must be done.
Perhaps the most fertile soil in the re-
public is that which is now designated
as arid. Valleys and plateaus in Utah
which we're at one tim thought to be
absolutely worthless for agricultural
purposes, have by irrigation, been made
more productive than the rich bottoms
of the Mississippi Valley. Only COM
paratively small portion of the arid
lands has been brought under cultiVs-
ton, Millions of acres of as good soil
as lies out of doors is spread over the
inter-moEntain region, but it is value
less. not being worth even the $1.25 per
acre which government asks for it,
because it lacks water. With water all
this land can be made productive,
Welding crops which will not only
make their owner rich, but will as
tonish the farmers of the east who
struggle along in an effort to get a
living from their thin and exhausted
soil.
Enough water falls in the arid region
to irrigate the entire country; the thing
is to husband the fluid for use when ii
may be required. That is the object OF
the surveys which government has
provided for. Th ese surveys VIII show
where best to construct reservoirs to
collect the most water and cover the
largest area of arid country. tbs to
be hoped that Major Powell, who will
have charge of the work. will not slight
Utah, only a small portion of which IS
nnder cultivation.

shame it into refusal to ever reassert
itself.
The HERALD appeals to the good peo-
pie of our neighbor Territory to not
take leave of their senses. We appeal to
them to retain their wisdom, and be
loyal to Idaho and their fellow citizens.
We ask them to not permit themselves
to be blinded to their own best interest
We ask them to do nothing for which
they will in their sane moments, neces-
sarily reproach themselves. The
HERALD asks them to vote for James
II. Hawley, because he is an Idahoan,
because he is man of ability, because
he will be true representative of the
Territory, and because he will do Idaho
some good. We ask them to vote for
Hawley, because in that way can they
best show their contempt for bossism
for carpet baggers, for incompetency
and for political impudence.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-11-04
VOTE FOR HAWLEY.

Before another issue of THE HERALD
reaches its Idaho readers, the people of
that Territory will have decided
whether they want to be represented
in Congress by one of their own num-
Der, bona fide citizen, man who with
them is interested in the peace, the
prosperity and the development of the
Territory or by carpet-bagger, po-
litical hack, man who has fed most of
his days at the public crib at the ex-
pense of tbs community. There is just
that difference between James III. HaW-
Icy and Fred. Dubois. The former be-
Ion gs to Idaho. 1t has been his home
since his boyhood days. Such develop
ment ard such progress as have been
wrought there have had his full share
of effort. What Idaho is to-day he
has helped to make her. The history of
the Territory aud his biography will
run together. When his spirit goes
hence, his bones will rest in the soil
of the loved "Gem of the Mountains"
On the other hand, his opponent
is in the political world what
the tramp is in the industrial commun-
itv. His interest in Idaho is confined
to the contents of his grip sack. He
loves the Territory for the salary il
provides him, and for nothing else
| When he ceased to be feeder at the
public crib he will cease to care for
Idaho. Furthermore, from the moment
he entered the Territory he has been a
disturbing element, destroyer OF
peace, breeder of factions and an in-
spirer of hates. He has appeared only
to create disunion and destroy peace.
He has broken in pieces the political
parties, has promoted bitter quarrels
and has spread the fractional spirit
everywhere.
TIE HERALD cannot understand why
any true and loyal citizen of Idaho
should hesitate in his choice between
the two candidates. To US it seems i'm
pudent for such a fellow as Dubois to
ask the suffrages of the people of q
Territory, against the candidacy of one
of its own citizens. 1t occurs to us that
the people should give that impudence
an emphatic rebuke, which would

the saving of souls and building up of
the kingdom of our Lord, and the
question of how to make it effective is
