AT WORD WITH THE
 HOUSE-KEEPERS.

As nearly as every one knows Baking Powder is a subetance used for aerating bread or making 1t rise. If Baking Powder is com posed of the light materials, carefully blended together in exact proportions, it remains in per- feet condition so long 1t is kept away from air and moisture. As soon as water Is added to Bak- ing Powder the different chemicals atonce begin to act upon each other, and in 80 doing, hberate gas which, in escaping, raises the bread and makes it porous. The value of Baking Powder " GOOD LUCK" will generate the largest amount of gas (IB per cent) and, therefore re- quires only one rounded teaspoonful of Powder to the quart of -four.
