Atthe rsouest OF Health Commissioners
Brennan. the City Chemist has collected
SAMPLES of the various baking powders
sold in ST. Louis and subjected them to
ANALYSIS for the purpose OF obtaining
for the public benefit information as TO
their composition and character,
whether wholesome or otherwise
Owing to the fact that alum baking
powders are produced at cost OF less
than four cents a pound, while IN az
pearance they are hardly distinguish
able from pure cream OF tartar powder
costing from eight to ten times as much
to manufacture, there have been many
of them put upon the market, and great
efforts made to substitute them for the
more wholesome cream of tartar com
pounds
Of course, such powders afford wide
margins of profits both TO the manu-
facturers and dealers and It is not I'M
usual to find them for this reason rec
commended and urged upon customers
who would not, knowing their true
character use them under any consld-
Grafton
CITY Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream of tartar powder only
1.-THE Royal; one cream OF tartar
powder containing free tartaric acids
one phosphate powder containing
sulphate OF lime, and that all the
other brands are made from alum. The
samples ranged in strength from 1S.47
per cent. of leavening fcarbCnic acid(
gas found in the Royal, to COS per cent
found in an alum powder
The general usefulness of a baking
powder depends largely upon the
quantity OF leavening gas it gives of. A
powder containing IS per cent. of gas
viii go more than twice as far-that Is,
one pound OF such powder will raise
more than twice as much iour-as one
that evolves but per cent The
economy thus shown, however, is not
the greatest consideration The low
strength powders leave a large residuum
in the food, which, being of alum in
its various forms. renders the food
positively unwholeSone-
Upon this point, and in describing the
character of the baking powder found
of highest strength, the City Chemist
says: "a high leaFening power is req
uisite. Pure ingredients IN proper
combination quicken and increase the
production of carbonic acid gas In
this the Royal eXcels all others 1t Is
the highest in strength, in fabrique q
faultless arrangement of agents, pure
and wholesome, free from adulteration
with lime, ammonia or alum"
The result Of these tests viii be read
with interest and viii prove of great
benefit to housel1eepers by enabling

numerous impure and unwh0lesome
powders found in tie market

Real Merit


Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and it is manifested every day
i'm the remarkable cures this medicine
accomplishes. Druggists say: When
we sell bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla
to new customer we are sure to see
him back in few weeks after more
proving that the good results from a
trial bottle warrant continuing its use.
This positive merit Hoods Sarsaparilla
possesses by virtue of the Peculiar
Combination, Proportion and Process
used in its preparation, and by which
all remedial value of the ingredients
used is retained. Hoods Sarsaprilla
is thus peculiar to itself and absolutely
unequalled as blood purifier, and as
tonic for building up the weak and
weary, and giving nerve strength.
