the chief baking powders in the mar
ket, and have subjected them to careful
chemical examination to determine
theirpurity, whoiesomeness and leaven-
ing power. As the result OF my tests
l find the Royal baking powder superior
to all the others i'll every respect. It is
entirely free from all adulteration and
unwholesome impurity, and in baking
it gives off 4 greater volume OF leaven-
ing gus than any other powder. 1t is,
therefore, not only the purest, but also
the strongest powder with which l am

OFFICIAL FOOD TESTS.
The United States anl Caralia;
Governments analyxGthe
linking Powders.
Comparative Strength and Purity
OF tho Difforont Brands or.
flolully Determined.
Prof. Hnincs, Consulting Chemist of
the Chicago Board OF Health,
Givcs Ills Opinion.

ca!cdgo Tribune
Tho public is always responsive to
suggestions about tho food !. eats
Great interest has boon taken in the
Investigations made BY the United
States and Canadian governments and
by the different boards OF health toshow
tho purity or impurity OF milk, baking
powders, spicGs, and other articles Of
daily use in the culinary department OF
our households.
Just now the subject OF baking pow
der Is claiming public attention. We
all desire pure und wholesome bread
and this cannot be had with tho use OF
impure or poisonous baking powder.
There eau DO no longer any question
that all tho cheaper lower grades Of bak-
ing powders contain either alum, lime
or phosphate acid. :.
Tho official analyses OF the United
States and Canadian governments have
therefore been studied with interest
and have pretty clearly established tho
facts upon this subject. The United
States government report gives tho
names OF eighteen well-known powders,
some Of them advertised Us pure cream
OF tartar baking powders, that contain
alum.
Tho report shows that the Royal bak-
ing powder was found the highest in
leavenlng strength, evolving 1906 cubic
inches OF gas per single once OF powder.
There were eight other brands OF cream
OF tartar powders tested and their aver
age strength was Ills cubic inches OF
gus per ounce OF powder
The Canadian government investiga-
tlons We're OF still larger number OF
powders. Tho Royal baking powder
was here also shown the purcst and
highest in strength, containing 1882
cubic inches OF lcavening gas per ounce
OF powder. Nino other cream OF tartar
powders were tested, their average
strength being reported to be 50 cubic
Inches oil gas per ounce.
These figures are very instructive to-
the practical housekeepcr. They indi-
cato that the Royal baking powder goes
more than IS per cent further in use
than the Others, or is one-third more
economical. Still more important than
this, however, they prove this popular
article has been brought to the highest
degree OF purity-for to its superlativc
purity this superiority in strength is
due-and consequently that by its use
We may be insured the purest and most
wholesome food.
The powders OF lower strength are
found 10 leave large amounts OF inert
matters in the food. This fact is en-
phasized by the report OF the Ohio
state food commissioner, who. while
finding the Royal practically pure,
found no other powder to contain less
than 10 per cent OF inert or foreign
matters.
The public interest in this question
has likewise caused to be made invcsti-
cations by our local authorities. Prof.
VS.. Haines, OF Rush Medical College,
consulting chemist OF the Chicago board
OF health, has found results similar to
those reported by the national and
Canadian authorities. DR.. Haines says:

ately after it was announced yesterday
that the Ledger had absorbed the Globe,
word was sent TO the Tacoma bureau of
the PosT-ISTELLIGENCER that the same
paper, under the direction of Nelson
Bennett, had secured a controlling in
terest in the EVening Netcs. As Editor Lane,
of the Nc,Cs, could not be seen at the
time to deny the rumor, it was considered
unwarrantable to make any reference to
1t. This evening the News editorially,
and under the caption Run by the Pro-
prietor," says:

swer to rurnor that has reached the Negs Office
from various sources that some one beside those
named above had acquired an interest in the

A painstaking investigation proves that
the rumor evolved from a conjecture that

instead of petitioning congress TO enact
the proposed anti-option law. Wheat,
lecturer for the Knights of Labor, moved
TO lay WiIletts' motion on the table, and
this was done.
Kelly of Kansas offered resolution
that the appropriation pending in congress
Tor permanent census bureau be in
dorsed If provision be made for continuing
the investigation of farm mortgages as
permanent part of the work of the bureau.
Simpson and Livingston seconded his
motion, Livingston seizing the oppor-
tunity to deny the accusation made by
Post. He invoked harmony. After some
desultory discussion the convention
adopted the census resolution by an en-
phatic vote.
The free coinage trouble was now
pitched among the delegates by Wilson,
of Georgia, offering a resolution that the
convention petition congress for the adop-
ton of the pending bill for free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Livingston
fought hard to have this carried, but this
time was hampered instead of helped.
Tracy, of Oregon, apparently at the in
stance of a Kansas man near by, tackled
on an amendment demanding pass
age of the sub-treasury bill. Thunderous
protests were raised at this critical mo-
ment against the consideration of resolu-
tions outside of the platform committee.
and the free silver motion with its sub
treasury tail was unceremoniously dumped
upon the table. The convention waited a
long time after supper TO hear from its
mammoth committee on resolutions and
finally adjourned until tomorrow.
The committee on platform is working
late tonight, Hugh Cavanaugh, general
worthy foreman of the Knights of Labor,
having been elected chairman after Gen.
eral Weaver had declined. Ignatius
Donnelly said TO an Associated Press
representative tonight that it had been
practically decided 10 incorporate in the
platform the sub-treasury scheme, free
coinage of silver, woman suffrage and pro-
hibition. The latter point would prob
ably cause animated discussion, but he be-
lieved that in a modified form it would be
part of the platform,
