The question naturally arises in the minds of

purity or re>iduum consist! In the case of the
first named powder there has been recently
given the result of an analysis made by Prof
{. +. Chandler, of Columbia College, late
member of the New York State Board of
Health, which partially supplies the missing
information. and a> the manufacturers of this
particular powder are continuously calling for
the publication of all the ingredients used in
baking powders, there can be no objection to
its statement here. Among the impurities
Prof. Chandler found CIeveand'S powder to
contain large amount of Rochelle Salts, ). 40
per cent. of lime. with alumiDa. starch and
water. in quantities not stated. Alum is IL
substance declared by the highest authorities
to be hurtful. If the balance of this residuum
in all the powders named is made up largely Of
alum, as it is known to he in some, the public
would like to know it, Another official test
that shall go quite to tie bottom of the matter
seems TO be demanded.
