 ABAKING POWDER MATTER.
 An Interview with Mir. Charles Henkle
 The New York W orld devoted considerable space to the manufacture and sale of impure baking powder by the Henkle Bros. or Peari street. this city.
 The Worlds statement represents that the firm, some time ago, brought from Buffalo, N. Y some person who was skilled in the art of mixing baking powders and that tor some reason unknown this man became cnhSflhea and had left
 MT Charles Henlzle was seen by a Call rep. resentative, who inquired as to the truth ol the unknown's revelations.
 ssThat is a question am unable to reply to, as we have not had any one ln our employ W from Buffalo; that is, to my knowledge. ! ou may say that we never sent there Tor q man, Of course a Buffalo man might have worked here don't imagine, ,'contlnueq MT Henkle, "that these contentious of baking powder manufacturers are Of interest to the puDnc. All of them praIse their own wares ana run down every other. There is nothing injurious used in any Of them. Alum and ammonia are both used The one supplies the place of the other, so the manufacturer wno uses aiulii Il use it, not to any great percentage IL IS not injurious, as many suppose. oh Ine coilniaay :; , [ believe it to be healthful.

Newton slightly off in his asser- tionS.a before he had hunted up the following extract from the Scientific American:
 : seThis prejudice has been nursed and foster ed by interested parties who loudly proclaim unutferable wickedness of all who could or would presume to say that anything better,or even as good, could be found. Now the facts are these: There is no standard law or enact ment that confines the substances to be used in baking powders to cream Of tartar and so- da The ingredients of a baking powder are selected and combined for the purpose of which in baking gives the bread It's porous structure or aIightness.n Any combination that will furnish gases for this purpose and may be used and is, in the common accepta. ton of the term, a baking powder. Hence, all the talk about adulteratlon With alum, De- cause it is used as the acid substance, wholly or in part,comes from IhougnI,- less Or interested persons. we might With equal propriety speak of q Daking r poWaseer sle; aeulteTated with cream of tartar.
