The special committee of the National Re- form League, consisting of Wm. D. Foulke, Charles J. Bonaparte, Richard H. Dana and Sherman S. Rogers, appointed to inquire into the condition of the federal civil service and the operation of the reform law, has made its report with a view to ascertaining the amount of time consumed by members of Congress directly and indirectly in the distribution of public offices. The committee addressed to each member a set of questions as to the number of federal offices in his district, the average num- ber of applicants for each, the time required in the disposition of each, &c, To these inquiries twenty-four answers were received, from which the committee estimates that more than one- third of the entire time of each Congressman is consumed in securing offices for their con- stituents, The committee also examined the records of Congress for the purpose of deter- mining the relative number of measures which remain unconsidered at the end of each session from lack of time to give them proper consid- eration, Taking the last Congress as an ilius- tration the committee found that the number of bills and joint resolutions introduced was 17.078, to wit: House bills, 12,664; resolutions, 269; Senate bills, 4,000: resolutions, 145; out of the’ 17,078 measures introduced ‘more than 11,000 were never reported from the committee to which they were referred; that about 1,400 were reported but never reached consideration, while less than 3,500 were finally acted upon.

Cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda, in their proper proportions, have been recognized for more than fifty years as the standard for leavening purposes, and now these ingredients, with a small quantity of flour or starch added to preserve the mixture, in the form of a pure cream of tartar baking powder have almost wholly super- seded yeast and the old methods of producing pastry, hot biscuit, cake, etc. The manufacturers of Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder have for a score of years adhered to the use of the above ingredients, and these only, and have thus made it the recognized standard for a pure cream of tartar powder. The recent report of the United States Government Chemist shows CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER RICHEST IN CREAM OF TARTAR AND SODA and HIGHEST IN LEAVENING POWER ofall the pure* cream of tartar baking powders examined. See Bulletin No. 13, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. The baking powder nearest to Cleveland's in strength was found to contain .98 of ammonia. The Canadian Government Report of 1889, as well as the Reports of the Food Commissions of Ohio, 1887, and New Jersey, 1889, confirm the fact that Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is the richest in cream of tartar and richest in leavening power, and, therefore, absolutely the best of all the cream of tartar baking powders. * Norg.—A pure cream of tartar powder contains only the ingredients above named.
