O’Brien. John J. O'Brien, the republican leader of the eighth New York assembly district, and the ex- chief ot the bureau of elections, died at Baeder’s Hotel, Coney Island, at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning, after an illness of several months, Up to an hour and a half of his death Mr. OBrien was conscious and recognized those about him, Gathered by his bedside were his sous, Joseph J. and John L. O'Brien, and his daughters, Mrs. Baeder and Miss Laurette O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien was born in the tenth ward of New York, June 14, 1842. He was at one time a book keeper of A. 'T. Stewart, leav- ing this place to act as private secretary for ex- Collector Thomas Murphy. The office of chief of the bureau of elections he held until last February, The funeral will be on W Serine Menicrxe Is considered a necessity by nearly everybody, but this year it is so very important as_to be al olutely indispensable to all.

Government Report, Bulletin No. 13, page 564.) “Two important studies of the composition and character of baking powders have been made recently, one under the direction of the Ohio Dairy and Food Commis- sion, and.the other by the Dairy Commissioner of the State of New Jersey.” “I regret,” the chief Chemist adds, in a foot-note, “that it [the Canadian Government Report] appeared too late to allow of the incorporation into the present publication of any of the results and conclusions contained in it.” “ Work done in this way, which has the authority and weight of official sanction, is most valuable, and I have drawn largely upon the reports above men- tioned.” Then follow liberal extracts from the official reports of Ohio and New Jersey, and the investigations of the Gov- ernment Chemist, the whole presenting an unbiased and instructive resumé of the present knowledge of baking powders. As a baking powder company is boldly adver- tising that this official report shows its powder “ highest in quality and the leading baking powder of the world,” it is simple justice to give the exact facts. The following per- centages of carbonic acid gas or leavening power are taken » from these official reports, in the order of publication, Carbonic Acid Gas or Leavening Power. Cleveland's. Next Highest. Obio Food Commission. 12.80 11.80 (contains ammonia®) ‘New Jersey Dairy Com'r. 13.31 (contains ammonia*) Canadian Gov't Report. 11.83 (contains ammonia*) U. S. Government Report. 12.74 (contains ammonia*) Average: Cleveland’s, 12.87; Next Highest, 12.30. These official investigations thus prove conclusively that “Cleveland's Superior” is the highest in leavening power of all the pure cream of tartar baking powders, * All ammonia and alum powders, no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous.
