Drought out by the Official Gov-
" , vriiment Tel.
From the C'luVagu Tribune.
Thu publin ia uluy ieioulve to
U)tgeNlion alxtut the food it eat,
tireat iuUrest hu been taken iu the
investigation made by the United
Htatu aud Canadian governments aud
by thu different board of heidth to
how the purity or impurity of milk,
baking powders, spieea, aud other
articles of daily use in the culinary
department of our households,
J nut now the subject of baking
Hwder is claiming public attention.
We all deiro nuro aud wholeaome
bread aud this cannot be had with the
use of impure or poisonous baking
powder. There can he no longer any
quostion that all the cheaper; lower
urnde of baking powderfl contain
either ul nm, liuieor phcapbutic acitl.
The oflieial anHl.vei by the U. tiled
State aud Canadian goveruiuentii
have therefore been studied with in
terest and they have pretty clearly
-stablihed the facts upon this sub
ject. The United Slate government
report give the name of eighteen
well known powd rs, some of them
advertied a pure cream of tartar
baking powders, that contain alum.
The reiiort shown that, the ltoyal
Baking Powder wan found tho hihest
in leavening lrenglh evolving H0 6
cubic inches of ga per single ounce
of powder. Theio were eight other
brands of cream of tartar powders
levied and their average etrenglh was
111.5. cubic inches of ga per ounce
of powder.
The Canadian government investi
gation were of a itilt larger number
of powder. Tho Royal Baking Pow
der was here also sliowu the purest and
best in strength, c.m'atning 129.32
'ibio inches of leavening gas per
ounce of oowder. Nine other cream
of tartar powders were tested, lliei
average strength being rKirted to be
89 cubic inches of ga per ounce.
These tieure are very instructive
to the practical housekeeper. They
indicate that the ltoyal Baking Pow
der KOes more than 33 per cent.
further in use llian tho others, or is
one-third more economical. Still more
important than this, however, they
nruve thi iioimlar article hu been
brought to tiiM highost degree of purity
for to it superlative purity tin
superiority In strength is due and
couseuuttntly that by it ue we may
lie insured Hie purest and most whole
some lood.
The powder of lower itrcngth : are
found to leave large amount of inert
matter in the food. Thi fact I em
phasized by the report of the Ohio
State Food Coimiiitsioner, who, while
tinding the Royal practically pure,
found no ollir powder to contain less
than 10 per cent, of inert or foreign
matters.
The public intnrosl in this question
has Iikewiie caused to be madu in
vestigation by our local authorities.
Prof. W. 8. Haine, of Rush Medical
College, consulting chemist of the
Chicago Ihuird of lleilih, ha found
result similar to those reported by
tho national and Canadian authorities.
Dr. Haines say:
Rush Medical Cou.kgb, Chicago
III. I have recently obtained sample
of the chi f baking powders in the
market, and have uljeeled Ihem to
caref..l chemical examination to de
termine their purity, wluilesomeuess
aud leavening power. A tho result
of my test I rind the Royal Baking
Powder upcrior lo all tho ethers in
every respect.., It i entirely free from
all adulteration and unwholesome
impurity, and in baking it give off a
greater volume of leavening ga than
any other powder. It i. therefore.
not only the purest, but also the
stiOngest powder with which I am
acquainted. , '
Walter 8. Ha miss, M. D.
Consulting UbomUt, Chicago Board
of Health.. -
The talitic show that there i
used in the manufacture of the Royal
Baking Powder more than half 61 all
the cream of tartar consumed in the
United State for all purposes. The
i... f,,i uulri thus indicated for the
Royal Baking Powder greater than
that of all o'.ner o.ikiuk v.

of which bavo a copy before me now,
dated July 4th, 1846, No. 12, and

i.u it is about 16x20 inches, and as
Mr. Merrill ay wa printed on a

To H.m. K. J. Tavlor.ludof td court:
The undersized, ymir grand jury for the
present term of conn, repctfully report
aa followt:
We Itsve exnmined Into all cbargrs of
crime brought before ns, and have returned
into court nevi-n "true billV and one ' 'not
true bill." . We have found but one indict
ment fur a felony, the others laing for in
fraction of the liquor taw and other atnall
mlsdetiieanera. The result of our labors
indicate that the popu'atiun of our county
are generally peaceable and law-abiding.
It would require at lea.t a week', tiro to
make a thorough examination of the
county's bnok, nnd the accounts of the
officers, and not wishing to detain the
court for such a length uf time, snd being
unwilling to make a hurried Invesiiaation
which would he a mere farce and of nosuu
atantial benellt to the public, we have omit
ted ths usuil formst vl-lt to the various
county otlices, and leuv to the county
court, where It projteriy belongs, the tak
of investigating the books and accounts of
the county officers snd of making tbe re
sults public. "
And now baying completed our labors we
ask tu be discharged.
