A MATTER OLE HEALTH.
ID. Louis Authorities Examining the
Baking Powders.
LSt, Louis Globe. Democrat.

[St, Louis Globe. Democrat
At the request Of Health Commits
ioner Brennan, the city chemist has
collected samples Of the various bal-
.ng powders sold in ST, Louis and sub
ected them to analysis for the purpose
IF obtaining for the public benefit in
formation as to their composition and
character, whether wholesome az other
wise.
Owing TO the fact that alum baking
,,owders are produced at cost OF less
than four cents a pound, while in APP
pearance they are hardly distinguish
able from pure cream of tartar pow
der, 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 compounds,
OF course, such powders afford wide
margins Of profits both to the manu-
facturers and dealers and it is not UNI
usual to find them for this reason
recommended and urged upon custom
ers who would not, knowing their true
character, use them under any consid-
Grafton.
City Chemist Sullivan's report shows
one pure cream Of tartar powder only
(the Royal; one cream Of tartar pow
der containing free tartaric acid; one
phosphate powder containing sulphate
of lime, and that all the other brands
are made from alum. The samples
ranged in strength from 13,47 per cent
Of leavening (carbonic acid) gas found
in the Royal to sos per cent found in
an alum powder.
The general usefulness Of a baking
powder depends largely upon the
quantity of leavening gas it gives off.
A powder containing thirteen per cent.
of gas will go more than twice as far
that is, one pound of such powder will
raise more than twice as much flour
as one that evolves but six per cent.
The economy thus shown, however, is
not the greatest consideration. The
low strength powders leave large
residuum in the food, which, being Of
alum in its various forms, renders the
food positively unwholesome.
Upon this point, and in describing
the character of the baking powder
found of highest strength the City
Chemist says; "a high leavening
power is requisite. Pure ingredients
in proper combination quicken and in
crease the production of carbonic acid
gas In this the Royal excels all 9th
ers. 1t is the highest in strength, in
fabrique a faultless arrangement of
agents, pure and wholesome, free from
adulteration with lime, ammonia or
alum"
The result of these tests will be read
with interest and will prove of great
benefit to housekeepers by enabling
them to distinguish the pure from the
numerous impure and unwholesome
powders found in the market.

family medicine, comprehensive in its scope,
has never been thrust upon public attention In
This claim, daily arrogated in the columns Of
the daily press by the proprietors of medicines
far inferior TO 1t AS specifics, has in thousand
instances Disguised the public in advance by
Its absurdity, and the prospects Of other reme-
dies of superior qualities have been handi-
capped by the pretentions OF their worthless
predecessors. But the American people know,
because they have verified the fact by the most
trying tests that the Bitters possesses the vir-
tues OF real specific in cases of malarial and
liver disorder, constipation, nervous, rheumatic,
stomach and kidney trouble. What IL does it
does thoroughly, and mainly for this reason it
is Endorsed and recommended by hosts Of

The companies will make no decided move until the executor of the estate file suit to collect the amount of the policies. When the case is called the companies assert they will present Dr. Fraker.

Secretary Smiths Great Work

The report of Secretary Hoke Smith, of the Interior Department, is interesting in the extreme. One of tbe most important items men toned is the unearthing of whole sale frauds in the pension list. No just man will question the right and duty of a nation to compensate dis abled and faithful soldiers and their families. It is debt due which all sections acknowledge. At the same time no matter how opuIent nation or man may be there is a decided objection to being systematically robbed
 The Iowa examing boards were tempered with by the claim agents in a manner most disreputable. The report shows that the stoppage of those frauds has saved the govern ment sum almost equal to the en- tire amount spent on specipl exam iners
 The most enthusiastic advocate of iberality in the matter of pensions would not approve of any system that could initiate against the pen sioner. This indiscriminate pay ments will do.
 The work of the special examiners has been in progress only for about six months. Pensions have been paid for over twenty years. If in it's brief period of work the board has saved the nation such sum, its usefulness is established beyond peradventure. In the meanwhile Secretary Smith is not idle. His attention is directed to the census, Indian affairs, and various other matters of public and general inn portance As a hard worker and conscientious man the young Geor- gian deserves unstinted praise, and for his untiring efforts to supplant fraud and robbery by justice and liberality in pension affairs, every honest man will render thanks.

The Income Tax.

The subject of taxation is of course one of the most important questions that will be presented before the Ways and Means Committed Rep resentatives from certain localities are thoroughly in favor of a grad uated income tax and a great reduc- tion in the internal revenue schemes. Others oppose the income tax and advocate increasing the revenue by heavier taxes levied upon whisky and tobacco.
 There is no reason why both plans should not be adopted As to the internal revenue the principle is unquestionably just aud equitable. A tax upon the luxuries must ob- viously be less of a burden than the payment of an increased price upon those articles which are absolutely necessary. Opposition to this sys- tenn can be born only of sectional prejudice.
 On the other hand, labor should be made to pay only proportionate share of the burden \ graduated income tax would regulate this mat ter
 The time has come in the his tory of the Democratic party when it's members must work as unit.
 Until that is realized success is dubious.
