A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
Il. ii. DRIVEN.

This plain question comes home TO
every housekeeper. We all desire
pure and wholesome fcod, and this
cannot be had with the use of i'm
pure or poisonous baking powder.
There can be no longer a question
that all the cheaper, lower grades of
baking powders contain either alum,
limo or phosphate. AS loath as we
may be To admit so much against
what may have been some of cur
household goods, there can be no
gaingaying the unanimous testimony
OF the official chemists. Indeed, an
alysts seem to find no baking pow
der entirely free from some one of
these Objectionable Ingredients ex.
cept the Royal, and that they report
as chemically pure. We fad some
of the baking powders advertised as
pure, to contain, under the tests Of
Professors Chandler, Habirshaw and
others, nearly II per cent. of lime,
while others are made from alum
with no cream of tartar. This, we
presume, accounts for the lack of
their leavening power as sometimes
complained of by the cook, and for
the 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 worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
DO these cheap baking powder ma
kers use these things 2Alum is three
cents 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 iven in the
New York Times in an interesting
description Of new method for re.
6ning argols, or crude cream Of tar
tar. II SCENE that IL is only under
this process that cream Of tartar can
be freed from the lime natural to IL
and rendered chemically pure that
the patents and plant for this cost
the Royal Baking Powder Company
about half a million dollars, and
that they maintain 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 npon the results attained
in the refined cream Of tartar. The
following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question
repeated at the head Of this article,

DECORATION DAY.

The time is nigh at hand in which
the Nation is expected TO remember
its dead heroes and decorate their
graves with beautiful flowers This
will be done, without doubt, in all
places where National Cemete ries
are. and in many private burial places
gentle hands will sirew the graves of
loved ones with flowers; but will
there not be many grass. grown-and
| might say weed grown-graves that
will not be so remembered, and there
are those living today who have
friends and relatives lying in our
Cemeteries, who scarcely think of
them more than once a year, and new.
er visit the spot that ought to be sa.
cred to their memory and visited at
least once during the year. When
can there be more fitting time TO do
this than on memorial day2 1t is q
time when the Nation is trying to
show, by her offering of flowers, that
she is not forgetful of the important
fact, that few years since our ma.
tionsl life was imperiled and in order
that it might be preserved. great
sacrifice was demanded, and her PEG.
pie, not forgetful thai their fathers,
on previous occasion, gave many
lives that the Nation might live.
They camo to the rescue and sealed
their devotion TO their country's canse
by granting the bloody sacrifice. and
the hundreds of thousands of graves
strewn all over the land are the mute
witnesses Of the fact. 1t is but lit
tie thing that the living can do to
show by their annual visit, and
strewing of flowers upon the graves
of the dead, that they are not for
gotten. 1t may bring to- many sad,
very sad memories. but it is often
true that when the heart is weighed
down with sad thoughts or memories
We instinctively turn to God and are
made to remember the wonderful
promise Because / live We shall
live also" BY faith we see again
The vision that Ezekiel saw. The
silent dust that is resting in this
valley of bones" becomes reanima.
ted and the mighty host arise from
their dreamless slunber and stand
in their robes OF Immortality, when
the heart rejoices again and we feel
stronger TO take up the burden of
life, fully conscious that ere long IL
will not be vision" but a reality
with us all.
Then why. may not the people of
kingwood and vicinity meet in the
cemetery at some specified hour-say
3 o'clock p. m. Wednesday. May 80
and spend short time in decora-
ting the graves of our friends and
those we lOYe. 1t will not be long
until some one else will be strewing
flowers DER our last resting place.
