CAMPAIGN C1PIT1L,

We are not disposed to censure Gov
ernor Boies and have written good
many kindly words about him. But it
looks as If somebody was trying very
unfairly to manufacture campaign cap
ital for this fall out of the state ins.i-
tutions. There have been investiga-
tons OF them on the flimsiest grounds.
All the Investigations came to nothing
except the case of Warden Mcmillan.
He was suspended upon technicality.
We understand that neither the gov
ernor nor the examiners think THAI
Warden Mcmillan has stolen any
money. The case seems to be this:
Warden Mcmillan has paid more money
INTO the state treasury than any other
warden. lie is anxious to make n
record of this kind. So he received
and reccipted for the full allowance of
guard money and had the guards re-
ceipt for the same, although their SER
wee had not entitled them to 1t. This
made surplus fund to help meet the
other expenses Of the prison and so
reduce the apparent running expenses
and increase the money that he could
turn into the state treasury. 1t was
an lnformality, but it is one OF those
violations of the technical letter of the
law which is gong on more or less
with every official body in the United
States

A Matter of Health,

Iousekeepers family realize the
danger of an ind,scriminate 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 organ, and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrh1al diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum all are used as gas produc-
ing agents IN such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects porduced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
mem branes! Yet INSCRIPTIONS man
ufacturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all kinds of allur-
ing advertisements and false represent
atoms. All the low priced or So called
cheap baking powders, and all pow
ders sold with gift or prize. belong
to this class.
Baking powders made from chemi-
cally 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 posi-
BILE, but they have added to the dlges-
tlbility and wholesomeness of our food.
Bat baking powders must be composed
of such pure and wholesome ingredi-
ents or they must be tabooed entirely.
Dr. Edison. commissioner of health of
New York, in an article IN the Doctor
of Hygiene" indicates that the advan.
tages of a good baking power and the
exemption from the dangers of bad
ones in which the harsh and caustic
chemicals are used, are to be secured
by the use OF Royal Baking Powder eX.
clusively, and he recommends tins to
all consumers. "The Royal" he says,
contains nothing but cream of tartar
and soda refined TO n chemical purity,
which, when combined under the influ-
ence of heat and moisture produce pure
carbonic, or leavenlng, gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda. are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they are
com bined IN exact compensating
| weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them in the dough
they practically disappear, the sub
stance of both having been taken to
form carbonlc acid gas" Hence it Is,
he says, that the Royal Baking Powder
is the most perfect of all conceivable
agents for leavenipg purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
| injurious chemicals in place of those of
well known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake OF few
| cents a pound greater profit; but since
they do few words of warning seem
| to be necessary.

Chloride of Nitrogen.

The most unstable compound known
to chemistry and therefore the most
explosive substance so far discovered
is chloride of nitrogen, which proba-
bly, consists of three parts of chloride
united with one of nitrogen. Its
terribly explosive character, which
has so far prevented its accurate
analysis, is due to the fact that it is
combination of one OF the most
active with one of the most inert
clements in nature.
