BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota state Authorities
Enow Ahont Them

!
r. there is d doubt in anybody's mind
as to the quality Of the various baking
powders OF the market, it will be settled
by the evidence given upon the subject
by the state officials Of Minnesota. The
Dairy and Food Commission and the
State Chemist are the highest official an
thorities upon such subjects in this
State, and their evidence will be accepted
as disinterested and unprecedented It is
their business to examine the quality of
the different food products, and to sup
press the sale OF those found impure and
unwholesome, and oil will admit that
they have performed their duties with
out fear or favor
AT recent examination by Legisla-
tive Committee to determine the qualities
Of the various baking powders sold in
Minnesota, State Chemist and analyst
to the Food and Dairy Commissioner,
DR.. Benjamin F. Drew, gave the follow
ing evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, see by the report
of the Dairy and Food Commission of
this state that in making analysis of the
various baking powders of this country
you report as result of your work that
the Royal Baking Powder contains and
gives off i'll baking a greater per cent. of
carbonie acid gas (leayening gas) than
any other baking powder made; is that
true?
Ans.-Yes, sir, that is fact
CUES. Doctor, you also found from ex-
pertinent that the Royal Baking Powder
will keep longer and retain its qualities
better than any other powder made, did
you not?
Ans.-Yes, sir, think it does.
Ques.-Now, the two most desirable
qualities in baking powder are the
amount of carbonic acid gas it contains
and gives off and the length of time it
will keep, are they not?
Ans.-Yes, sir.
Ques.-Then the Royol Baking
Powder, possessing these qualities, is
the best powder made, is it not?
Ans.-Well, that would be the natural
conclusion.
Qnes.-Well, that is the fact, is it not :?
Ans.-Yes, think it is. I consider it
one of the best baking powders made

A ChiId'S Death.

In neighboring city lived six-year-
old boy, who was the picture of happiness
and rosy health. He had never been Ill
a day in his life, and was of nature so
sunny and merry that he was remarka-
BILE. One day his mother went home
and found him deathly pale and sobbing
and catching his breath. He sprang to-
ward her with a scream, and buried his
face in her garments. From that day
the little child never laughed again. He
grew paler and thinner and pinned away.
He seemed to be overcome by some
nameless terror, which he could not ex-
plain. His parents only knew that it
was with him night and day, like hor-
ror that froze his poor baby brain. At
last the little boy died, and physicians
could find no other cause for his death
than that commonly used to cover a
great many things, "heart failure
But the real cause? This sweet, gentle,
merry child, beginning life with as fair
prospect as boy could have of living to
be noble, honorable man, was fright
ened to death. During his mothers alb
sence he had been playing as usual on
the sidewalk near his home. Some older
boys, twelve and fifteen, who, it is GER
tainly to be hoped, knew not what they
did, gathered around the child and be-
gan to torture him with fright They
told him blood curdling stories, and
made awful threats of what they were
going to do with him. The innocent
child believed every word 1t threw him
into commissions and turned his brain,
and SO he died, frightened to death by
that fearful cruelty boys are wont to
practice toward those younger than
themselves

1T IS SAFE AND SOUND

Whenever a life insurance company
desires to do business in a state in which
it has not operated, it makes application
to the insurance department of that
state for admission. Thereupon the
actuaries of such state proceed to thor
oughly examine the financial condition of
such company, with special reference to
its ability to pay all its contracts. If
the results prove satisfactory to the de-
partment, it issues license to the COM
pany to do business in the state. With
view of transacting business in the
state of Ohio, the Life Indemnity
and Investment company of Sioux City,
Iowa, have very recently applied for adj
mission to said state. The following,
taken from the Sioux City Daily
Journal of the FIRST inst. shows the stand
ing and solvenoy of the company as
verified by the Ohio actuaries:
The actuaries of the insurance depart
ment of Ohio have been busily engaged
during the present week in making a
thorough examination of the business
and affairs of the Life Indemnity and
Investment company of this city. The
company has 1927, 207.99 of net assets
and clear surplus of $119,691.33. A
rumor was circulated short time since
that this company was about to go into
the hands of a receiver. The policy
holders are well pleased to learn from
this examination, that instead of being
a subject for receiver, the company
has more than two dollars of assets for
every dollar of liability. The report
that petition had been filed for the ap-
pointment of receiver had it's origin in
the fact that suit had been brought in
equity by certain of the old policy
holders of the company to have a Ger
tain feature of their contract set aside,
which it is believed be inequitable in it's
operations. That the rumor is wholly
groundless is abundantly proven by
the results Of the examination which
the company has just undergone. Any
decision that may be rendered in the
case referred TO will in no way involve
the solyency of the company.

What Is a Good Baking Powder7

1t is well known fact that carbonate
of ammonia is used by bakers in the
preparation of the finest and most whole
some bread and cake, and has been from
time immemorial. 1t is among the old
est and at the same time most healthful
constituents of baking powders 1t is
all evolved in gas by the heat of the
oven, and leaves no trace of itself in the
food, and it is this that gives it its great

care is required at tnis part of the oper-

length, and, besides, are frequently
broken, so as soon as one runs out or

the fact that the threads are often from
