ACQUISITION OF HEALTH.
What Baking Powder Shall We uses

This plain question comes home to every
house keeper. We all desire pure and
wholesome food, and this cannot be had
| with the use of impure or poisonous bak-
| ing powder. There can be no longer a
| question that all the cheaper, lower grades
of baking powders contain either alum,
lime or phosphate acid. AS loath as we
may be to admit so much against what
may have been some OF our household
gods, there can be no gainsaying the unan-
imous testimony Of the official chemists.
Indeed analysts seem to find no baking
powder entirely free from some one of
these Objectionable ingredients except the
Royal, and that they report as chemically
pure. We find some of the baking pow
ders advertised 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 pre-
sumo, accounts for their lack of leavening
power as sometimes complained 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 physici.
ans assure us that lime and alum taken into
the system in such quantities as this arc
injurious. Their physiological effects are
indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents a pound
lime still cheaper, while cream OF tartar
costs thirty five or forty. The reasons for
the chemical purity of the Royal Baking
Powder were recently given In the New
York Times in an interesting description
Of q new method tor refining argols, or
crude cream of tartar. 1t seems that it is
only under this process that cream of tar
tar can be freed from the lime natural to it
and rendered chemically pure; that the
patents and plant Of this cost the Royal
Baking Powder Company about half
million dollars, and that they maintain
exclusive control of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief chemist
of the Department of Agricultural, at
Washington, ID. g., made an examination
of this process, and reported upon the re-
suits attained in the refined cream of tar
tar. The following extract from his report
Would seem TO answer the question repeat
ed at the head of this article. and which 10
so frequently propounded by the house
keeper: Hst
II have examined the cream Of tartar used
by the Royal Baking Powder Company in
the manufacture Of their baking powder,
and find IL TO be perfectly pure and free
from lime in any form. The chemical
tests to which have submitted the Royal
Baking Powder prove IL perfectly health
full and free from every deleterious sub
stance. The Royal Baking Powder is
pnrest in quality and highest in strength
Of any baking powder Of which have
knowledge"

In the Police Court yesterday morning
Charles Harris and J. B. Rowland were
held to answer before the Superior Court
on a charge of burglary. The testimony
showed that Harris went into the house OF
W. Il. Henderson, at Sixteenth and n
streets, and stole ring, gold watch and
chain and a bracelet. while Rowland
kept watch on the outside. They stoutly
denied stealing anything, and Harris, upon
whose person the ring was found, claimed
that he bought it in Philadelphia. AS
soon as they reached the County Jail, how
ever, they expressed desire to Re allowed
to plead guilty TO burglary in the second
degree. The opportunity will probably be
given them this morning.
After leaving the Police Court Harris
signified a willingness to tell where the
watch was. Chief Lee sent officers Farrell
and Rider with him, and they found the
watch and two chains among the weeds ir
a vacant lot at Fifteenth and + streets, wher,
Harris had thrown them while he was run
Mug away.

One of the Lowell Assassins Gets Ten
Years for Grand Larceny.
John Henry Myers, one of the men who,
according to his own statement, murdered
old John Lowell. on his ranch in FL Do
RADIO county, was brought before Judge
Armstrong in Department One of the Su-
perior Court yesterday to receive his SEN
tence for grand larceny, he having pleaded
guilty to stealing Lowell's horses and
wagon.
Wilbur F. George, counsel for defendant,
moved for an arrest of judgment on the
ground that the Court had no jurisdiction,
because the crime was not committed in
this county. Judge Armstrong overruled
the motion and sentenced the prisoner in
the following language:
You having shown no reason why the
Court should not now pronounce judgment
on you, the sentence of the Court now is
that you be confined in the State Prison at
Folsom for the period of ten years from
the time you shall have been received in
said prison. The Court makes the further
order that the commitment in this case be
stayed until the defendant shall have been
removed 10 the County of FL Dorado, there
to answer to a charge of murder alleged to
have been committed in that county in
the numbering of John Lowell, there to
remain in the custody of the officers of Ell
Dorado county to abide the result of a trial
on that charge, and after such trial shall
have been had, to be returned to the officers
Of this county to be delivered by them tC
the officers of the State Prison"

Arabian Jim" and Calamity Jane" The
announcement is made that both plays are
to be presented with fne scenery, rich par
aphernalia and stage settings, costing a
large sum of money. OF Mr.. Wallick and
his troupe the New York Times is quoted as
saying James H. Wallick and his
trained horses were received as old friends
by packed house at the Windsor Theater
last night, and the exciting episodes of the
equestrian melodrama The Cattle King )
were Justify cheered. Mr.. Walick is al
ways popular in the Bowery, and his horses
show the result of skiilful training. There
is just enough powder and smoke through
out the racy course of the play to satisfy
the lovers OF blood and thunder, while its
equine features give an effective realism to
the events" The admission Is to be so and
rs cents, with no extra charge FOR reserying
seats. This is the first engagement under
the new lessee and manager of the theaters
@. P. Hall. 1t is requested that ii be stated

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
EXHIBITION BUILDING.
Something Every sacramentan should
Take Interest In.

Something Every sacramentan should
Take an Interest In.
The register at the permanent exhibition
building shows that large number of
strangers visit that place daily, and they
obtain much valuable information regard
ing California, particularly the northern
and central portions of it. Yesterday
eighty Of the teachers en- route from the
East to the National Convention at San
Francisco, stopped over and spent an hour
III viewing the products on exhibition. II
is q well-kDOwn fact that the fruit at this
season of the year is quite perishable, and
the Superintendent, Mr.. Flint, finds il diff
ficult 10 keep the exhibit looking nice and
fresh as it should to be attractive. He asks
as a special favor that parties residing in
in the city who can and are willing to
contribute flowers once or twice a week,
send in their names and the flowers will be
called for. Nothing seems TO attract the
Eastern visitor more than California's
fora, and few handsome bouquets
scattered here and there through
out the building liyens up the entire
exhibit. There are many citizens in
the city and immediate vicinity who
can with trifling expense contribute fruit
ard flowers sufficient to keep the entire ex-
hibit looking bright and fresh. No matter
what il il, whether product of the soil or
mines or quarries bring in specimens and
assist in this most excellent work. A speci-
men from the slate quarries of FL Dorado
was placed in position yesterday, and at
tracted no little attention. 1t is labeled &:
FL Dorado Is the boss county. This is a
specimen of her slate" In few days FL
Dorado will present a mineral cabinet con-
tanning some fifty different varieties of
minerals and the products of her quarries.
The Ell Dorado and Placer exhibits are kept
up better than any If the counties outside
of Sacramento. They repienish their stock
of perishable fruits twice a week, and have
adopted e regular system regarding it,
which il would be well for the other con
tributing counties to follow. The following
exhibits were handed in yesterday:
f. +. Aiken, Sacramento, Clapp's Favor

tage. A select company of friends was
present TO witness the nuptials and salute
the bride and groom, who were warmly
congratulated over their union, which all
who know the happy couple hope may
prove bright, pleasant and prosperous
one. The bride was presented with a
number of choice and costly wedding gifts.
