FOOD AND DAIRY COMMIS-

Two ESSENTIALS FOR A BAKING
POWDER THAT WILL MAKE Per-

Two ESSENTIALS FOR A BAKING
POWDER THAT WILL MAKE Per-
Feet BREAD.
The late report of the Minnesota
State Food and Dairy Commission
contains the result of a series of
experiments made by Prof. G. w.
Drew, State Chemist, to determine
the strength and keeping qualities
of the various baking powders.
The report attaches great i'm
portance to these experiments.
Baking powders that vary in
strength, or that readily lose
strength before use, are unreliable
and will not give even results; be-
sides, it is an indication of the use
of improper ingredients in their
compounding. The tests showed
the strength or leavening power of
the Royal very much greater than
that of the others. The uniformi-
ty of strength of all the samples of
Royal tested, no matter what their
age, was remarkable. Its leaven-
ing power was practically unim-
paired even in the oldest speci-
mems. The difference in the
amount of leavening gas in differ
ent samples of the other brands
was SO great as to seriously impair
their usefulness in baking. AS
much as "a per cent loss was
found in samples a few months
old. All the samples of Royal
examined by State Chemist Drew
were reported of satisfactory
strength and quality.
DR.. Drew states that the Royal
being of greater strength than any
other, and possessing better keep
ing qualities, it is the natural con-
clusion that it is the best baking

NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

The letter of DR.. Charles E. Banks,
of the Marine Hospital service, who is
now in Washington on special duty in
connection with the quarantine against
the cholera, touches subject of general
interest. 1t is generally agreed among
cholera experts that the danger from
that scourge will be greater next year
than it has been this; recent articles in
the London Times have shown that the
disease is steadily moving westward in
Europe, and that next spring in all prob
ability it will be epidemic in many
European ports that have close CONNER
cial connection with this country. All
the authorities ON the cholera argue that
it's seeds are always transported across
the ocean in vessels, that they do not go
in the air, as the seeds of some epidemic
diseases appear to do. This being the
case it follows that we shall have no
cholera here if we can prevent vessels

1t looks now as if there would be no
Joint discussion between the Boston Adj
vertiser and the Boston Herald, the latter
declining on the ground that it's circula-
ton is so much larger than the Adver-
Users that the latter would get an unfair
advantage, The Herald, however, has
been claiming all along that the Republi-
can side of the issues in the present cam
paign was exceedingly weak.and easily
disposed of. A joint debate, therefore,
would enable the Herald to exhibit this
weakness not only to its own readers,
who number many Republicans as well
as Democrats, but also to the readers of
the Advertiser, who are probably chiefly
Republicans. That is to say, the Herald
has an opportunity offered it to demolish
Republican argument in the face and eyes
of Republicans. Difference in circulation
doesn't seem to be a very satisfactory
reason for not accepting it. If the Her
aid were not an independent organ there
might arise suspicion that it declined
the challenge because it did not want to
present to it's readers Republican argu-
ment; but as the independent paper is
anxious that it's readers should get at the
truth that of course cannot be its reason.

from foreign ports bringing it here-that
is to say if we can maintain rigid
| quarantine against infected vessels, we
may be certain to escape the cholera.
| AS Dr. Banks points out. the arrival OF
cholera infected ship is just as much
menace to the people of an inland
state as to the people of coast state.
| Infected Immigrants may go thousands
of miles inland before the disease de-
velops in them, and baggage containing
opened and the germs disseminated
until it reaches some inland
state many hundreds of miles
from the point of landing. Hence
quarantine is demanded just as
| much for the protection of the interior
states as of those along the seaboard
| That being the case there is no reason
in the world why they should not pay
part of the expense of maintaining it.
| Under the present system of state
quarantine all the expense falls upon
| the seaboard states and cities. This
| is not just, and if this were all the argu-
ment in favor of the substitution of
national for state control of quarantine
it would be sufficient.
| But there is another and a stronger one
| which DIR. Banks points out AS long
as quarantine regulations are made by
| different states they will lack uniformi-
| l. IL I, nnlr
severe, perhaps unnecessarily so, while
others will be less and insufficient. Some
states will appropriate suficientmoney to
enforce the law vigorously, while others
| will try to be economical and so destroy
the efficiency of what law they
have The inefficient quarantine will
| inevitably destroy the effectiveness OF
the vigorous ones, and in the at
tempt to remedy this trouble states
will fall to quarantining against one
another, with the effect of paralyzing
business and putting travellers to great
| inconvenience and sometimes to abso-
| lutte suffering. All this, however, can
be avoided by placing the control of the
| quarantine in the hands of the National
| Government. Then all the quarantine
regulations will be uniform from Maine
1 to Texas; and there will be All adequate
force of men and sufficient money to en-
force them vigorously at any point There
will be an absence Of the jealousies and
| conflicts of authority which recently
| cropped out in New York, and the best
expert opinion as to what pre-
cautions are needed can be had.
The inland states will bear
| share of the expense of this kind OF
quarantine. as tits fair they should,
and the coast cities and states will be
released in part of a burdensome and
unjust expense Furthermore, there
will be far more. public confidence in
such quarantine as this, and therefore
there will be much less disposition on
the part of the states to hamper free in
tercourse among themselves and much
less justification for doing SO.
DR.. Banks's suggestions in regard to
| Portland are excellent, though our
| idea is that unless there are some in
superable constitutional objections,
| Congress ought not to wait until the diff
ferent states and cities ask to be re-
lieved of quarantine duty, but should
place the control and management of it
in the general government and enact
laws with that end in view.
