What Baking Powder Shall We Use.

This plain question comes home tt
every housekeeper. We all desire pure
and 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
grade of baking powders contain either
alum, lime OF phosphate acid. AS 10th
as we may be to admit so much against
| what may have been some of our house
hold goods. there can be no gainsaying
| the unanimous 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 powders advertised as pure, to
contain, under the tests of Profs.
Chandler, Habirshaw 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 leavening powder as sometimes COM
planned 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 physio-
logists assure US that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
as this are injurious. They are not
decomposed by heat, nor dissolved in
mixing or baking They go with the
bread, therefore, into the stomach, where
their physiological effects are indigestion,
dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these thingsp 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 a new method
for refining argols, or crude cream of
tartar. 1t seems that it is only under
this process that cream of tartar can be
freed from the lime natural to it and rem
dered 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.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist of
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., in the interests of
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 |
at the head of this article, and |
which is so frequently propounded by the |
housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream of tartar |
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the manufacture of their baking |
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure, |
and free from lime in any form. The |
tests to which / have submitted |
the Royal Baking Powder prove it per-
fectly healthful, and free from every |
1eleterious substance"

The q. A. H. and Private Dalzell.

| Ine u. A. II. ana PrlVnte DalZell.
Under date of Nov. 10th, of this
year Private Dazell, of Caldwell,
o., wrote to the st. Louis Republic,
the burden of which is tn prove, II
proof were necessary, that the G.
A. r. is a political machine. Mr..
ID. first declares that he was one
of the founders of the g. A. R. and
speaks of what he knows and testi-
fies of what he has seen.
He declares with vehemence
that he is "not liar, whatever he
may be-" and then continuing,
says:
~ love truth and plain speaking.
I denounce as silly, useless,
hypocritical lie, the statement that
the Grand Army of the Republic
is not political body, organized
and employed to aid and comfort
the Republican party. This is not
it's only object. 1t is II grand sys-
tenn of charity and fraternity and
loyalty among its members. 1t is
all that; it is more; it is the Repub-
lican party, all there is of the Re-
publican party, its heart, its head,
it's brains and soul, it's guide, phil
osopher, and friend, its ally, its all
in ALL"
He then declares that the few
Democrats within the organiza-
tion are without power, Office or
influence, that Gems. Seigle or Fits
John Potter could be selected to no
office within the organization.
That a Democratic President would
have been Kissed had he shown
himself in their presence in st.
Louis or Columbus. All this says
Mr.. d. would have happened "For
the simple reason that we are
nearly all Republicans and not
only Republicans, but of the ex-
tremest Sect"
He further declares that, at is
the unwritten Mnspoken law of the
ORDER" as unalterable as the Per-
sian law, that all who would stand
well with the order, or receive OFF,
cial position must be Republi-
cans.
If the foregoing is true, it serves
to explain some peculiarities in
our politics, which are anomalous
upon any other theory.
A Democratic soldier, no matter
what his merits as a soldier or cit
izen, has never been able to count
among his supporters any more
than the Democratic portion of the
soldier vote, and every public dem
onstration of the G.. A. r.. has been
of a strong Republican bias. If
then, the organization is of Il poll
tlcal character, what special claim
has this organization TO the SYM
pathy of the whole people?
If as Dalzell says the q. A r.
owns this country, and are its
lords, and have the primary
right to rule it as they please, let
them prove their claim and take
the goods, but we can see no ne
ressity of making Democrats with
in and without the organization the
slaves of these self-constituted
lords. We have entertained the
opinion, for some time, that the
claim of the g. A. r.. to be nom
partizan organization was hypo-
critical. So far as we are concern
I'd the organization will receive
rom us no other or further con-
than we would accord
my other political combination.
