How to Produce More Economical and
Hea1thfu1 Articles for the Table.
The official food ANALYSES bv the
United States and Canadian govern
ments have been studied with interest.
The United States Government report
gives the names of eighteen well-known
baking powders, some of them adver-
tised as PURE cream tartar powders,
which contain alum.
The report shows the Royal to be a
pure cream-of-tartar baking powder,
the highest in strength. evolving 1905

gle ounce of powder. There were eight
other brands of cream tartar pow
der5 tested, and their average strength
was ILL., cubic inches of gas per ounce
of powder
The Canadian government investiga-
tions were of still larger number of
powders. The Royal Baking Powder
was here so shown the purest and
highest in strength. containing forty
five per cent. more leavening gas per
ounce than the average OF all the
other cream -of-tartar powders
These figures are very instructive to
the practical housekee Ier. They indi-
cate that the Royal Baking Powder
goes more than 80 per cent further in
use than the others, or is one-third
more economical. Still more impor-
tant than this, however, they prove

The powders of lower stren tn are
found to have large amounts of impur-
tiles in the food This fact is empha-
sized by the report of the Ohio State
Food Commissioner, who, while finding
the Royal practically pure, found no
other powder to contain less than 10 Ter
cent. Of inert or foreign matter
The statistics show that there is
used in the manufacture Of the Royal
Baking Powder more than half of all
the cream-Of-tartar consumed in the
United States for all purp oses The

Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.
There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitualIy sleep on the
left side, and those who do so can never,
it is said, be strictly healthy. 1t is the
most prolific cause of nightmare and also
of the unpleasant taste in the mouth on
arising in the morning. All food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right side,
and hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves a sort Of pumping
operation, which is anything but con-
ducive to sound repose. The action of the
heart is also seriously interfered with and
the lungs unduly compressed. Hence it
is best to cultivate the habit of always
sleeping on the right side, although San
dow and other strong men are said to in
variably sleep on their backs.
Breakers Ahead!
Prudence, foresight, that might have
saved many a good ship that has gone to
pieces among the breakers, is a quality
conspicuous by its absence among many
classes of inValids and among none more
notably than persons troubled with inactiv-
ity of the kidneys and bladder. When these
organs fall off in duty grievous trouble is
to be apprehended Bright's disease dia-
betes, catarrh and stone in the bladder, are
among the diseases which q disregard of
early symptoms confirm and render fatal
