A MATTER OF HEALTH.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminate use Of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inflame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-pro-
ducing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes. Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make a very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all kinds of allur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sensations. All the low priced or So
called cheap baking powders, and all
powders sold with GIFT or prize, be-
long to this class.
Baking powders made from chemic-
ally pure cream of tartar and bi-car-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
of finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestiblllty and wholesomeness of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be ia
booed entirely.
Dr. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the
Doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages of good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers OF bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. 1.-THE
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream of tartar and soda refined to a
chemical purity, which when combined
under the influence of heat and moist
ure produce pure carbonic, or leaven-
ing, gas. The two materials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfect
ly harmless even when eaten, but in
this preparation they are combined in
exact compensating weights, so that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically
disappear, the substance Of both hav-
ing been taken to form carbonic-acid
gas" Hence it is, he says, that the
Royal Baking Powder is the most per-
feet of all conceivable agents for leav-
ening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that anv
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those
of a well known, pure, and whole
some character simply for the sake of
few cents pound greater profit; but
S nee they do, few words of warning
sieem to be necessary.

What Is a Good Book?

A good book is one that interests
you
One in which the bright rather than
the dark side Of life is shown.
One that makes you see how mean
are the small vices of life and how des-
picable are the great sins.
One that gloriiies virtue in woman
and honor in man.
One in which the good are rewarded
and the wicked are made to suffer-
suffering, by the by, that may be of the
conscience-or in more material way,
a reward given either on earth, or
promised for the future.
One which convinces you that this
world is filed with good men and good
women.
Ono that brcathcs forth the goodness
OF Creator, and respects His all-gov-
erning laws.
One that makes You feel you are
meeting real people-people who elev.
ate your thoughts as you associate with
them.
A good book is one that you remem.
Der with pleasure. that when the dull
hours come you can think Of with in.
terest and feel that there are people
with whom you have q most interesting
acquaintance, who are yet only char
acterU of the Imagination.
A good book is one that tells,in good
English. the story il has to; sees no
necessity for using foreign words and
does not quote from the Arabic or the
Sanscrit as if the author had written it
with an Encyclopedia Britannica beside
him.
A good book is the one that we want
when weary Of the people of the world;
that we can read out aloud and dis.
cuss; that We can hand to our daugh.
tiers that it may give them pleasure, and
which will only be steppingstone on
the road Of taste, not only to better and
nobler books, but a better and nobler
life.
That is good book-and, my friends,
there are hundreds Of them.-Ladies'
