The Standard
for Baking
Powders

the world over is the cream Of
tartar baking powder.
Cream of tartar is the crystal
lied acid Of grapes refined to abso-
lutte purity and ground to creamy
flour. 1t is the most wholesome Of
all fruit acids, and has been proved
by long and universal experience
the most efficient and satisfactory
for baking purposes.
This highly refined pure cream
of tartar, the product Of the grape,
properly combined with bi-car-
Donate of soda, corn starch, etc.,
makes the ideal, the standard
baking powder.
Many acids shave been tried dur
ing the last hundred years to find
a substitute for the acid of the
grape which would cost less. In
recent years alum has been largely
used in baking powders because
of it's trifing cost. Alum, how
ever, is a corrosive acid, and, to-
gether with the other acid substi-
tutes tried, has been disapproved
by scientific chemists because Of
unwholesome qualities, and dis
carded by honest manufacturers.
Cream Of tartar powders being
healthful themselves, add to the
healthfulness of the food.

much talked of in arr. is sought. here GER
tainly it is. 1t is a picture full of senti-
rnent. ard impressive to all who love the
work of the peasant painter. who. through
the d-rest privations, struggled to sing the
simple story of lowly life in the fields and
woods.

they are excellent in the aracteristic del

there are two eXamples-"A Summer Land
scape and BLACK Rocks on the Coast of
Normandy. The fidelity of this etcher
painter, always pleasing. can nowhere be
more so than here in these canVases. There
are two Troyons likewise. and with the
usual lnaCcuracy in drawing, they have the
wonderful richness of color and the fine
general impression of landscape and cattle
as independent parts of the picture.

over his arm hangs his 1ambSkin cloak and
he carries his staff. The silver moon hangs
aVertcd as he gaZes at it. The brillancy
of the light tends to draw the eye away
from what Jacque is most praised for in
the remarkable texture of wool on his
sheep. The moon is not at the full and yet
it lies rear the horizon. shining with the
clear effulgence of midnight in the early

The place of honor in the Dutch group
of pictures is given to Israels, the acknowl-
edged master of that school His canvas
is a large one, with the title "Grandfather's

and his associates 1t is unacademic in char

present left out The Neuhuys' titles are
THE Watchful Mother and The Frugal
Meal" and both appeal to the heart. They
picture simple everyday home scenes and
with a vigorous. confident and mastery use
of color These are the more important of
the Holland pictures. There are excellent
examples of BakhuySen, keVer and Will
liam Mars.
One of the most notable pictures in Mr..
Waggaman's gallery is the magnificent
Dagnan- Bouveret, entitled The Duet in
the studio While Dagnan-Bouveret is
called by some an imDressonist, his work
Will forever rank with the best of the
modern French reaIsts This example is
worthy to be classed with the finest the
artist has done. II is vigorously drawn and
painted with the utmost Daiustaking. The
textures are worked out with rare Gelicacy
and fidelity. The figures are so true one
can almost hear the melody of the voices
as the artists entertain their sitter during
an interval of rest
De NeuyiIIe's Flag of Truce"
One would search long time in Amer
lea, and probably in Europe, for a stronger
example of de Melville than The Flag of
Truce" which hangs here. Some one has
said that De Melville was painter of
moments, and the dramatic vigor of this
scene certainly justifes the praise. Every
line OF the composition is tense with the
expression of emotion. 1t is an incident of
the Franco-Prussian war, when detail of
PruSsian officers is being escorted within
the French lines, and the widow of
French soldier, with her babe in her arms,
Is calling down curses upon the hated Ger
mans as they march by, blindfolded. The
tall and dignified figures Of the officers. the
terrified byStanders, who try to restrain the
woman; the French soldiers who appeal to
her to be still and the white, frenzied face
of the poor mother are wrought into a
magnificent tragic climax. 1t is a picture
never to be forgotten by those who have
seen 1t.
After the Ball. by Doucet presents the
figure of a beautiful young Parisienne, who
in the first moment after her return from
the gayety of the evening throws herself
into the nearest chair TO enjoy the delicious
sensation of quiet and rest before she puts
